Orange Is the New Black 4.11

People Persons

Litchfield goes into lockdown after the dismembered body is found in the cornfield. Caputo tells all the guards to stay put. They all do except Healy who heads out into town before the meeting. Caputo gives orders not to do anything except keep an eye on the prisoners. Piscatella decides to launch an investigation.

A few dozen prisoners are called in for questioning. Red is one of them. Piscatella gives her the third degree. She plays it cool. He doesn't have anything on her until one of the COs find a set of keys in her office in the kitchen.

Suzanne gets the backstory spotlight. She is in her late 20s in the flachbacks. She lives with her sister who is deperate for some time away from her. Suzanne's sister goes away for a weekend. Suzanne does something stupid which has deadly consequences for a little boy.

Vause worries that she is going to get caught. Berlin is insulted that the Piscatella doesn't want to interrogate her. Suzanne and Kukudio are also called in for questioning. They are pushed into fighting one another by CO Humphrey. Suzanne beats Kukudi senseless.

Doggett hangs out with Nichols.

Healy almost commits suicide. He changes his mind and goes back to Litchfield. He tells Piscatella what Whitehill told him.

Caputo has a chat with MCC's lawyer about what to say and not to say to the government. Danny and Crystal confront his father with the picture of Sophia Burset that Caputo gave him. 

Luschek is assigned to spend the night guarding Judy King. Judy, Yoga Jones, and Luschek do Molly and have a threesome.

The episode ends with Whitehill being dragged into the psychiatric portion of the prison. 

Thoughts

Is that it for Whitehill? Will she ever appear on the show again? I think the answer is yes but not for a while. That's based on what I found on IMDb.

How will Caputo react to what has happened in his absence?

Flores and Chapman finally get to descend from the table once the lockdown begins.

There are a number of characters who are not in this episode: Flaca, Ramos, Mendoza, Dayanara, Aleida, Morello, to name a few. There are a number of others who are in this episode but don't do much other than appear on camera.

This was a dark episode. The scenes with Suzanne, in the past and the present, were some of the darkest. Both were tough to watch. The status of Kukudio is unclear but I'm guessing that she isn't dead. The final scene of the episode was also tough to watch.
