Just when you think things can't get worse for John B . . . they do. As John B states in a voiceover, "The thing about hell is there's always another one below." After turning himself over to the cops, John B stands trial and is shockingly given the death sentence. As if that wasn't dramatic enough, episode five also shows John B almost getting murdered by a prison mate — at the request of Ward — and an elaborate ruse from the Pogues to get him out of prison. This is truly one of the biggest turning points in the season as the stakes get even bigger.
