Linden begins at the prison trying to get Ray a stay of execution based on his wife's ring, and when that effort fails, she tries to facilitate Aiden's visit while keeping Ray company. It was electric seeing Linden and Ray connect over the challenge of parenting, with Linden opening up more about her son throughout the course of the conversation.
Holder is still on a bender after Bullet's death, and shows up to the prison with evidence for Linden. He simultaneously gives Linden the greatest pep talk/kick in the ass ever and jokes about his kiss attempt from last episode. I'm guessing that'll be that until they can bring back their sexual tension next season, maybe with a crazy one night stand? Holder then stays to keep an eye on Aiden because he's "good with kids" and has a touching scene with Aiden where he helps fix his hair before he sees his dad.
When it finally looks like Ray is going to get to see Aiden, he's taken away by the guards, and the episode launches into a gut-wrenching sequence leading through the execution. Linden pulls the epic move of bring Aiden outside so that Ray could see him from the window. From Ray's inability to walk down the hallway through the hanging, I could hardly breathe while I was watching. We experienced the execution through the reactions of every character -- most strikingly through Linden's.
There's a lot to wrap up in the finale -- and Linden will be more fired up than ever to solve the original case of the Ray's wife's murder.
