Despite his cynical attitude, Yood has a friendly demeanour and became good friends with John Basil, the two seen playing cards and arm wrestling. He refers to Howell as "Her Highness" and compares her to "The Bride of Frankenstein". He also tries being friendly with former corrections officer Clayton Hughes.Yood also seems to get along quite well with Inmates despite being a former Police Officer.
After attempting to kill Governor James Devlin, Clayton Hughes was arrested and sent to Unit J, with John Basil, who was in for killing a cop while undercover, and Yood. Basil and Yood were always at odds with Hughes. While talking in the phone, Claire Howell is locked in her office by Hughes, who stabs Basil to death. Yood attacks Hughes, who is taken to solitary. Then, Ryan O'Reily, tired of being sexually coerced by Howell, pays Yood, who bumped Howell down the stairs, breaking her pelvis. Yood agrees to injure Howell and not murder her saying that "I'm no killer", but after pushing Howell down the stairs he says, "Maybe I got lucky and she's dead." He does not receive any time in solitary confinement for pushing Howell.
This season is pretty calm to Yood, who takes Tobias Beecher's job as Sister Peter Marie's assistant. He jokes to Beecher that he was foolish to give up the job
Beecher is sent to Unit J, so the Aryan Brotherhood can't hurt him before the day he is to be released. Mayor Wilson Loewen is arrested and sent to Unit J. There, during a dinner, Loewen begins to choke and Beecher saves his life using the Heimlich maneuver. Then, Yood tells Beecher that the Aryan Brotherhood killed his father and he must do something. Beecher is released and Yood is alone in Unit J until Willy Brandt arrives. He is sent to Unit J because the Protective Custody Unit is full. Then, Perry Loftus orders CO Adrian Johnson to kill Brandt. The next day, Brandt is dead. Yood witnessed it, and for his own survival, refused to tell who the killer was.
