Lorna is helping to come up ideas for payback to C-block. Nicky tries to discourage her from joining in but Lorna says that her mama bear instincts are making her want to protect the baby inside her. The other inmates tell Daddy that Lorna has an idea for payback but she says that she already has something in the works. Daya comes in to see Daddy and asks for more oxycodone. Daddy only gives her one pill and tells Daya to be grateful for it since it came from Barbara's personal stash. Madison tells CO Hellman that he needs to get C-block some jobs. Hellman tells her that her job isn't his job. Madison asks if she's found them a new pipeline to bring in drugs. Hellman tells her that the drugs came in via breakfast burrito. Madison says that she checked the spot but he says that he gave it to Carol because she told him to deal with her from now on. Madison goes to talk to Carol. She asks if she's the fall girl despite having not done anything. Carol says that that's right she hasn't done anything to keep D-block from sabotaging their jobs. Madison tells her that she has payback ideas but Carol says that she's now a joke to Barbara and D-block. Piper says that they should be doing something better with their life than just taking quizzes in magazines. However, she changes her mind and does the quiz with Alex. She learns that she is peaking right now. Alex tells her that now is a time to course correct. Piper decides to write a memoir about her experience. Alex has peaked already and is on the other side going down. Lolly goes to talk to Maria in psych. Maria tells her that she didn't try to kill herself that it was someone else. Lolly asks if maybe someone wants to silence her for something that she knows. Maria says she doesn't know anything but she does know people who have reason to want to kill her. She begins to list names of people she suspects: Gloria Mendoza, Blanca Flores, Piper Chapman, etc. Maria begins to describe her experience of almost drowning in a toilet to Lolly. She tells her that she stopped fighting and that she felt at peace finally. Maria gets called up for her psych evaluation. Madison is in the shower but she's having trouble brushing her teeth. Alex goes over and helps her but tells her that she doesn't condone her brushing her teeth while in the shower. Madison asks her if she's in prison for that and Alex says yes she has a passion for cleanliness and will kill to achieve it. Madison says no that she is in for something big. Alex says maybe but that she's peaked and her glory days are in the rearview. Madison says that she called it and that she should get her own psychic hotline. she also says that she'll change her name to Radison. Alex tells her that's a hotel chain. Madison asks her if she had the ambition of a younger Alex and looking for a new pipeline in, which cookie would she corrupt? Alex says that she doesn't think that way anymore but suggests Luschek since he's morally bankrupt. Alex asks why she's messing with drugs when there are other things that people would pay for. Madison tells her that she's a genius. Cindy and Taystee are going through fan letters that were sent to Taystee. Cindy reads one of the letters aloud and Taystee says that Suzanne would hate all the rimes. Actually, Taystee says that she'd probably frame the letter and that they should try to see her. Cindy says that she doesn't see Suzanne trying to find them. Taystee says that maybe she doesn't know how. She gets the idea for them to invite Suzanne to hang out with that at yard time and that Cindy can use her radio show to tell her. Cindy says that she can't guarantee that the message will come up because of her and Flaca's flow. Maria tells the doctor that she has to get out of psych. That if she were going to kill herself she wouldn't do it in the toilet but that she didn't try to kill herself. The doctor tells her that he can't release her until he can guarantee that she won't do it again. Maria confesses that getting additional time added to her sentence screwed her up. But that now she sees that hurting herself isn't the way out. The doctor says he doesn't believe she's being sincere and that he'll see her next week. Maria says that she wouldn't commit suicide because she stays alive for her baby. The doctor says that he'll release her but that he's prescribing her paxel. The nurse tells Maria that she knows she didn't try to kill herself and that it sounds like a baptism to her. She hands Maria a "God Loves You" brochure. Linda comes into the prison and asks if they can fit four inmates into one cell. Tiffany Doggett tries to catch her attention. Linda tells the guard to go get her a tape measure so she can talk to Tiffany in private. Tiffany thinks that she's a prostitute because of the way she's dressed and wants in on it. Linda tells her that she isn't an inmate but that she works for MCC. Tiffany starts to bring up what happened in the prison between Linda and Boo and Linda tries to shush her. Linda says that she doesn't need to mention that to anyone. Tiffany says that she doesn't know how she isn't going to say anything unless Linda has a way to keep her mouth shut.

Suzanne finally goes out into the yard. Taystee spots her and goes to give her a hug. Taystee tells her about the other riots and how they're making changes. Cindy tells her that everything is going their way. Taystee asks if they're treating her okay and Suzanne says that she doesn't need them all over her all of the time.
