Taystee takes advantage of her new position. Linda teaches Tamika how to pivot. Black Cindy and Maria make amends to people they've hurt.
This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
- A Day in the Limelight: Maria gets one, which shows the crime that got her thrown into Litchfield: selling counterfeit jeans.
- Best Served Cold: Rather than murdering Black Cindy, having her beat down or planting evidence in her bunk to keep her locked up, Taystee instead writes a letter to Cindy's family telling her daughter that she's not her sister.
- Fake Orgasm: Alex records a video of herself faking it for Piper to enjoy.
- Oh, Crap!: Caputo has this when he realizes that he's been #MeToo'd by Fischer for when he had tried to hit on her way back in Season 1 just before he goes into surgery.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: While McCullough has snuck in phone chargers through her bra, she's now using Alex's old bustier to help sneak in even more.
