Orange Is the New Black 3.10

A Tittin' and a Hairin'

Doggett gets the backstory spotlight for the second time. The flashbacks are paired with her present where she is getting a little deeper into a relationship with Coates, the doughnut man. He tells her that he likes her and thinks he went a little too far on their last "date". Her flashbacks reveal her first love who was very nice to her. She really liked him until he left town. Her life went back to being what it was before she met him after that.

Vause confronts Whitehill with the evidence that she has been spying on her. Alex shows Donaldson, the CO with the shaved head, the notebook that she stole from Whithill's bunk but Lolly denies it all. Vause gets written up for causing a disturbance and stealing. Lolly gets nothing. Vause later confronts Whitehill in the bathroom and discovers that she is around the bend. She thinks the NSA is after her.

Luschek returns. He tells Ford that he doesn't care about the reduction in hours because he's making money from an oil well on his property. Ford isn't buying it.

Delia goes to see her son. He's still in prison for raping Daya. He's even more around the bend than he was before. He does not take it well when she tells him that Daya's child is not his. He refuses to accept what she says. He still believes that he is the father.

Most of the prisoners are excited when they hear that Judy King was found guilty and sentenced to prison. They aren't as happy when they find out that she won't be spending that time in Litchfield.

The Cult of Norma experiences a couple setbacks. There is some internal squabbling plus Caputo orders them to stop their ceremonies, which involve yelling.

Soso spends some time talking to CO Rogers about her problems. It seems to help her.

Chapman continues her used underwear business by recruiting Flaca and Ramos. Flaca later has a chat with Boo and Yoga Jones and finds out about how much the panties are selling for.

Chapman's relatioship with Carlin continues to develop. Vause finds out about it by accident. She isn't subtle when it comes to showing how she feels about what she sees between them.

Kukudio makes a pass at Suzanne and invites her to spend some time in a closet with her. Suzanne is too nervous to to join Kukudio in the closet. She's still a virgin. Her erotica comes from her imagination and is not based on any real world experiences.

Red bonds with the other kitchen workers by cooking for them.

Mendoza gets angry at Burset for cutting off her son's ride to Litchfield. Sophia can't seem to communicate with Michael, her son, who won't listen to her or Crystal, his birth mother. Buset and Mendoza get into a shoving match in the bathroom.

Morello talks Vince, one of her admirers into doing her a favor, beating up one of the guys that she doesn't like.

Delia visits Daya and tells her that she wants to take care of the baby. Daya doesn't fully understand why Delia is offering to take care of her child but she accepts the offer.

Thoughts

It was good to Mendez show up again. I was surprised by the return of Luschek. It just occurred to me that O'Neil and some of the other guards haven't been seen for a few episodes now. Pearson wasn't in this one.

This episode felt all over the place. There were lots of little moments but there wasn't enough here to carry the episode. I hope that the last three episodes are a little more focused than this one.
