Barry Season 4 Episode 4 Summary Explained
After Barry escapes from prison, the news spreads like wildfire and the only person who takes the heat for that inside the prison is Fuches who didn’t have anything to do with it other than he was screaming his lungs out earlier about the hit on Barry after watching Rain Man in the prison. He gets beaten up mercilessly and the other inmates take pity on him for that. On the other hand, the police are confused about what Barry’s going to do and where he’s going to go.
There are multiple options like going to Gene who betrayed him but since Gene has been isolated because of his constant interactions with the press until the trial as they put him in a house on the top of a mountain called Big Bear. Going to Hank’s is another option because he knew that Hank put out a hit on him and lastly, he’ll go to Sally’s for obvious reasons.

When Kristen forgets her lines mid-scene, she tries to take that opportunity and snatch that role from Kristen with an impromptu audition but it fails as the director is looking for Kristen to do that. Sally, after a long day finds out that Barry had escaped from prison, and when she goes to her house, she finds Barry there. Without even flinching about anything, she asks to leave with Barry.
It’s the last scene of the Episode that is a bit surprising. We see two kids fighting and one of them turns out to be Barry and Sally’s after he comes back to the house and takes a cold beer to put on his bruise. We see Barry standing and going to talk to his son.
