Friends in Low Places
Someone stole from Red.
Chapman calls Cal, her brother. He and his wife are expecting. They have a ways to go and don't know yet if it is going to be a boy or a girl.
Judy King has a guard assigned to her now. He has to follow her into the bathroom when she showers.
Nichols tries to rekindle her sexual relationship with Morello. She doesn't care that Morello is married now.
All the inmates who were assigned to the lingerie making factory are reassigned to training in construction. They will no longer get paid for the work they do.
Nikki tries Vause after she doesn't get anywhere with Morello. Vause isn't interested in sex but there is something else she's interested in.
Judy King goes to see Poussey. She's tired of having a guard assigned to her. She wants to make peace with Cindy and the others who chased her down the hallway. Poussey reluctantly agrees to talk to her friends.
Ramos wants to quit. She tells Ruiz. She's nervous about getting caught. Ruiz doesn't care about what Ramos thinks or feels. She doesn't have a choice. She is going to keep doing what she's doing or else.
Chapman finds Nichols and Vause smoking crack in the corn field. She joins them. She shows them the swastika. Vause tells them about the body. Nichols is shocked by both reveals.
Morello starts thinking that Vinnie is cheating on her. She asks her sister to check on him.
Poussey finds out that Cindy and the others don't want to beat up Judy King. They just want a picture of her that they can sell to a tabloid. Judy King works with Poussey to help her friends get a picture that they can sell. The picture they get is of Judy King kissing Cindy.
Nikki goes to the salon and trades stuff she stole from Red for more crack. Red finds out that someone traded her stolen stuff to the salon.
Coates apologizes to Doggett.
Linda and Joe are getting ready to have dinner when someone comes knocking at his door. It is Crystal Burset. She wants to know what has happened to Sofia. Joe tries hiding but Linda has other ideas. She pulls a gun and threatens Crystal, who backs off and leaves. Joe is turned on by Linda's actions, after the fact, even though he acted otherwise in the moment.
Red finds out about Chapman's swastika. She helps her to fix it the only way possible. She changes it into a box.
Thoughts
I wish I cared about Chapman. She's screwed over a lot of people. Did she deserve the swastika? Maybe not but it did help to wake her up. She needed to be punished. I feel sorry for her but I don't feel sorry for her.
I thought for a moment that Joe Caputo was going to stand up to Linda but he didn't. He's crossed a line. He might change but I'm not sure if he can redeem himself from this mess.
I'm not sure if Coates can ever make up for what he did to Doggett but his apology was a step in the right direction. It got to her. Things aren't back to where they were before he raped her, they never will be, but they are better.
The juxtaposition of Coates apology for what he did and Joe digging himself a deeper hole was interesting.
I think I'm sticking with this show until the end of the season at this point. There's no guarantee that I will find the rest of the season satisfying but I'm intrigued enough to watch it.
