Tweener later returned the favor by using his thieving skills to recover a watch that had been stolen by a guard from Michael's personal belongings. He was initially the target of merciless sexual harassment at the hands of T-Bag until Michael Scofield stood up for him. Fellow inmate T-Bag quickly gave him the nickname "Tweener," as he was caught between inmates of either race, neither of whom welcomed him.

He thought it was an ordinary collection in truth, it included the rare Honus Wagner T206, worth $300,000.
