Orange Is the New Black 6.10

Chocolate Chip Nookie

Aleida starts to sneak stuff into the prison with Hopper but she doesn't tell him about it. Daya knows how to find it as she is part of the cleaning crew. She passes the drugs along to Daddy who distributes them.

Luschek has trouble keeping the dance exercise class going. He needs Mendoza to help teach the class but she is too scared of Baddison to do that. 

Luschek gets pressure from inmates and correctional officers to have an inter block kickball tournament in the yard. The inmates want some time outside and the correctional officers are hoping that a fight will break out that will juice the betting pool.

Zirconia takes advantage of her new found place in Baddison's gang and gives Mendoza and Flores a hard time.

Carol and Barb get the backstory spotlight. They kill their little sister after their parents decide that the family should move to Texas because their little sister needs more gymnastic training. Barb and Carol lock her in a car and push it into a frozen lake.

Cindy gets her hands on a phone and calls Caputo. She encourages him to investigate the death of Piscatella. He does but it doesn't get him anywhere. Fig has some ideas for what else he could do to help Taystee now what he isn't an employee of MCC, but Fig doesn't want to get involved.

Suzanne and Doggett get recruited to join Chapman and Baddison's kickball team. Suzanne was very nervous about it because Berlin told her it might get her killed. Suzanne gets talked into it by Chapman and enjoys herself. Berlin has a chat with Suzanne about why she warned her.

Red continues to bond with Carol.

Doggett sees Dixon and tries talking to him. He doesn't want to talk to her.

Mendoza gets transferred from C to to D-Block. She reconnects with Daya who helps her to avoid trouble. She also locks eyes with Ruiz.

Hopper finds out that Aleida has been using him as a drug mule. 

Barb has stayed clean for a month. She thanks Nichols for helping her. She also starts to plan Carol's demise. The episode ends with Barb asking Nichols for help plotting how to get at Carol.

Thoughts

Flaca and Taystee are not in this episode. There is still no sign of Coates.

The scene where Barb and Carol push the car into the lake was chilling. Carol doesn't seem human. Barb at least has some charm but she isn't much better than Carol.

Aleida is already skating on thin ice with Hopper. I didn't expect her little pipeline operation would last long.

It seems to be implied that Luschek is the one who got Mendoza moved to D-Block but is that really the case? I'm not sure. I could see it both ways.
