And There Was Much Rejoicing: After Jan is shivved in jail by his psychotic cellmate, two of the people he scammed approach Barb and mention this to her with glee, even saying that it's a shame that the man didn't finished the job. Barb, who wasn't exactly sad to see him get arrested herself, gets pissed off at the news instead — after all, they are being happy at a member of 'her family being almost killed.

Alone with the Psycho: After Jan is sentenced to jail, the inmate he's given as a cellmate is a very silent and determined bully that shivs Jan in the neck in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, nearly killing him. Jan is given a cell for himself after he comes out of the hospital.
