OZ是奥兹瓦尔德最高戒备监狱（Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary）的简称。OZ《监狱风云》是HBO第一部独立制作并广受好评的电视剧集，是一部叫人上瘾、沉溺于其中剧情不能自拔的监狱生活肥皂剧。OZ是社会的一个缩影，囊括了所有能发生在监狱中的故事：帮派之争，毒品交易，强暴，杀人，越狱，爱与恨……OZ也是个微型的小社会，举凡美国社会常见的力量，如意大利帮、中国帮、爱尔兰帮、穆斯林、同性恋 、新纳粹等等，在其中都有体现。虽是监狱题材的集大成者，却又远远不止是监狱。在OZ，没有主角，没有简单的善恶存在。谁是邪恶的，谁是英雄，无从简单的一概而论，每个人都在做出从他的角度和立场，最理所当然的选择。
On Fran and Maxwell's honeymoon aboard the yacht, Fran falls overboard and Maxwell jumps in to rescue her. They manage to make it to a deserted island. There, they have some good times and bad times in their survival, but the worst ends up being a poisonous bite that Maxwell receives. He thinks he's going to die, but luckily for him, Fran watched daytime television in the past which gave her the necessary skills to tend to his illness. Meanwhile, they are noticed missing when the yacht docked at its first port without them. The Sheffield kids, Sylvia and Niles fear the worst. After a week of the Coast Guard not being able to locate any sign of Fran and Maxwell dead or alive, C.C. decides to take matters into her own hands.
如果不是C.C.撞见，麦斯威尔和弗兰早就在奈尔斯旁边的病床上做爱了。事后，弗兰感到欣慰，他们之间终于有了些进展。而麦斯威尔则依然犹豫不决，奈尔斯轻率地建议他让弗兰去做一些毫无意义的事情，比如重新装修房间，好让他有更多时间思考接下来该做什么。弗兰一眼就看穿了麦斯威尔的所作所为。
从巴黎回家后，C.C.说麦克斯韦尔只是看中了她的外貌才雇佣她，弗兰欣喜若狂。为了查明真相，弗兰尝试与一位盲人约会。与此同时，麦克斯韦尔试图收回他在飞机上告诉弗兰的话。
