Last minute appeal

A possible road rage incident or at least it appears like it at first forces prison chaplain William Henderson off the road and lays him up in Sparta's Hospital.

Henderson has been counseling and working on the appeal of Denise Nicholas's ex-husband from the death penalty, a real possibility then and now in Mississippi. Helping him is their son Rugg Williams.

Things are heating up between his mother and Carroll O'Connor which Williams doesn't like and is determined to end.

There is someone after the chaplain. Your garden variety mouth breathing racist whom even the idea of a black prison chaplain goes against the role for black people as he sees it. In a prison they're nothing but prisoners.

Nicely staged but tragic shootout climaxes this story and season 6.
