Head to Head

When the bathroom that the Latina’s use has shit literally coming out of the shower drains, they attempt to move into the Ghetto bathroom. Laughable, right? This starts a full out fight between both Vee and Mendoza’s girls now that they’re forced to share. How long will that last before someone gets hurt?

Shoutout to Fig for being a complete bitch. She refused to fix the Latina’s showers. Yes, go ahead and cue Shower by Becky G. Sorry, Latina’s, but it doesn’t look like you’ll be dancing in the mirror or singing in the showers anytime soon. Instead of fixing the showers, Fig decided to cap shower times to 30 seconds.

The tension between the two groups continued to get worse and finally forced Mendoza and Vee to come up with a plan to put out the fire. It’s a shame that Vee completely screwed Mendoza over, but I guess we’ll see more of that in the next episode. Mendoza doesn’t seem a stranger to being screwed over though. In flashbacks, we learned why the “witch doctor” was in Litchfield to begin with. She was committing fraud with food stamps in the store she owned to put money away to get away from her abusive boyfriend. Can you blame her?

Deathbed

Back in Piper World, we saw a sad Piper. Poor Pipe just didn’t understand why her father wasn’t visiting her. Was it because she’s in prison? That he doesn’t want to see her like that? Or could it be something else? Well leave it to her brother Cal to spill the beans. Grandmother is dying. What does Piper decide to do about the devastating news? Ask for furlough. No one ever gets furlough.

Fishing for Fischer

Nicky and Boo just won’t let up. Granted they don’t really have anything else as sport to do in prison, but their game was getting out of hand. Nicky was after Fischer. Poor Fischer didn’t even know what hit her. Kudos to you Fischer! Finally someone turned Nicky down.

Will Piper get furlough to see her grandmother or will it be too late? Keep the conversation going at @craveyoutv!

Home Sweet Home
She’s back! The shocked looks on the inmates faces when Piper returns is classic. For once Piper has some prison cred and she’s not the whiney little rich girl. But Piper isn’t the only one back at Litchfield, Vee has returned too. We quickly find that Red and Vee know each other from Vee’s prior incarceration, but are they friendly?

Climbing Up The Ladder
Leave it to Larry to use Piper’s incarceration to his benefit, especially when he and Piper aren’t even on speaking terms. What an ass. Larry meets a journalist who wants to use Piper in a story on the corrupt administration at Litchfield. Will Piper agree? And how will they pull it off?

Father Of The Year
Our favorite couple isn’t doing too well. Daya is frustrated with Bennett’s lack of provision for their child. She can’t ask for prenatal vitamins without looking suspicious, but Bennett doesn’t know any way for him to smuggle them in. …Or does he? His leg is the perfect spot to hide contraband, but will he go through with it?

Mother May I
I personally love the effect flashbacks have on an episode. We saw it last episode with Taystee and the writers did it again for some background on Crazy Eyes. Suzanne’s mother has pushed her whole life to make Suzanne normal. At Suzanne’s high school graduation, she’s forced to sing but stage fright overcomes her and she has a panic attack. We saw a prime example of Suzanne’s stage fright during the OITNB season one finale. What we didn’t see was that when Piper was beating the shit out of Doggett, Suzanne came out in full fledge rage and knocked Piper out, which made the fight look fair.

What will happen to Suzanne now that Vee has taken advantage of her disability and taken her under her wing? Keep the conversation going on Twitter @brittanydebaltz !

An Offer You Can’t Refuse
Young Taystee is everything we could have imagined. We’re introduced to her at an adoption fair, where Taystee is trying desperately to find a family.
She proves to be rough around the edges when she tells another little girl to “fuck off and scram” while talking to a family. Surprise, surprise, they don’t want anything to do with her. Little Taystee finds herself sitting alone with a snow cone lost in thought when an older woman approaches her. The woman, which we come to know as Vee, offers Taystee a home with her, but T can see right last her and calls her out as a drug dealer.

Pearly Whites
When Tiffany Doggett finally gets out of solitary, she’s immediately called into Healy’s office. Healy clarifies what he didn’t see during Doggett and Piper’s Christmas fight. What an ass. But Pennsatucky isn’t as dumb as she looks, she says in order to go along with Healy’s story she’s going to need some new teeth. Thank God. I could only stare and her decaying set for so long without throwing up.

Mother May I
Daya is still pregnant and of course her nonexistent mother wants to be part of it. Problem. Daya can’t shit. She’s been backed up for five days and her mother and Mendoza make it their personal completion. Poor Daya.

Broke As A Joke
Since Red was outed from the kitchen her commissary has been a little bare. She’s broke and her family can’t even help her since business at the restaurant has been slow. Can Red keep the throne now that she’s on the outs?

Ghosts
Taystee’s Job Fair victory is short lived when she looks out the auditorium door. See a ghost, T? Vee is standing in khaki outside, guess mummy’s back. How will this change the prison dynamic?

Should Taystee accept her old mother figure or ignore her? Keep the conversation going @brittanydebaltz.
