Go To

As the Sun sets on the first day of the riot, the prisoners compile their demands, and Judy King starts looking for a way to escape.

This Episode Provides Examples of:

  • A Day in the Limelight: Linda gets one showing she used to be a sorority sister.
  • Alpha Bitch: Megan, the head sorority sister.
  • Caught with Your Pants Down: Penn sets several alarms on her phone to use it as a makeshift vibrator, unaware that Coates is watching until she looks up from her bunk.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Bayley downs a bottle of alcohol while watching Taystee's video, wanting to turn himself in for killing Poussey.
  • Food Fight: Maritza throws some food at Flaca, which ends up starting a food fight in the cafeteria.
  • Exposed to the Elements: Megan dies in the cold after going out to pee while drunk, wearing only a pink slip dress, and Linda forgetting about her.
  • Internal Reveal: Piper and Alex find out from Linda's phone that she's dating Caputo.
  • Mood Whiplash: The inmates are having dinner, compiling their demands, chatting, and goofing off, when Suzanne comes into the cafeteria and starts cordoning off the spot where Poussey died. Everyone goes silent, tearfully watching what Suzanne's doing.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: It seems that this is Linda's reaction to Megan's death, but ultimately subverted.
  • Oh, Crap!: Judy has this reaction when she gets spotted and run down by Sankey and the skinheads.
  • Portmanteau: The title comes from "Piss" and "sisters" mashed together.
  • Skewed Priorities: Taystee is upset at how low Bayley's arrest ranks at nine between "Internet" and "Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Takis in the commissary."
  • Sinister Sorority Sisters: it's revealed that Linda was responsible for her tyrannical sorority sister, Megan's, death. Megan was an Alpha Bitch who demanded that Linda go with her because she wanted to pee outside. Despite Megan being clearly intoxicated, Linda ditched her, and she froze to death outside in the snow. When the cops come, Linda immediately cries Crocodile Tears, gets let go, and becomes just as much of a tyrant as Megan.
  • Title Drop: The title comes from Megan needing Linda to accompany her to pee outside, saying they're "Pissters."
