The Big House
Taystee meets with her lawyer who has reviewed what Suzanne wrote about what really happened on the night Piscatella was killed. Her lawyer says it won't be taken seriously based on Suzanne's history.
Nichols tries to keep an eye on Morello. She tries taking to Morello but Morello won't listen. Eventually another inmate picks a fight with Morello and they both get dragged away.
Daya sets a trap for Aleida and Hopper. The happy couple gets together in the SHU and are having sex when Ward and a couple other COs walk in to the room where they are going at it. Ward fires Hopper but opts not to press charges.
Cindy resurfaces. She is living on the street, in a tent but is working at the nursing home.
Doggett and some of the other inmates take the GED. Doggett was supposed to get extra time due to her learning disability. Luschek never put in the paperwork for Doggett so she doesn't get any extra time.
Alvarez and Copeland interrogaye Flaca, Ruiz, and Mendoza about the phone. Mendoza winds up admitting that the phone belongs to her.
Chapman gets a call from Vause who wants to know what's up with Zelda. Vause wants to talk in person. Chapman goes to Litchfield. She admits to cheating on Vause with Zelda but she arrived late and their conversation gets cut off just as Chapman is trying to say something important.
McCullough tells Ward that she's has feeling for Vause and asks her to transfer Vause to another prison. Ward doesn't want to but she can't afford to lose another CO so she signs the order approving Vause's transfer to a prison near Columbus, OH.
Ward throws a party for the inmates who have taken part in the educational programs she set up. Taystee suggests that she get food from Storky's for the party and she does. Caputo goes to the party. Beth talks to him and tells him about how things have started to change for her for the better. She knows about the restraining order. She tells him that he can get through it.
Doggett is in a bad mood after the GED exam. She's certain that she failed. She finds Daya and her girls after the party. They are doing drugs.
Taystee is planning to take the drugs that Daya gave her. She has a flashback to when she was released from prison in Season 3. Things weren't going well for her on the outside. She got a call from Poussey. It helped but once the flashback ends she is still thinking about ending it. The episode ends with her finding Doggett unconscious or dead on the floor in the laundry room.
Thoughts
The ICE detention facility does not play a part in this episode. Flores is not in this episode and doesn't even get mentioned.
There was a lot going on in this episode. It was about 75 minutes long. They played a number of songs by Sam Cooke.
This is the next to last episode of the season and the series. I'm not sure where things are going next but I would be surprised if Taystee goes through with her plan to kill herself. I think that Morello is over and done with and probably won't be seen in the season / series finale. My guess is that Doggett is dead but that's just a a guess. I'm not as certain about anybody else.
