So far she’s the gentle comic relief in an every-man-for-themselves way, but I wonder if she can be the true friend Piper seems to need.Ī Freon leak causes the freezer to die, and Healy wonders if he’s been played by Red. Nicky (already a goldmine of one-liners and sarcasm) catches on to the drama between Piper and Alex, but doesn’t push it too much. How long will he keep this up? He’s a good guy, but this is just the beginning.

He eventually makes his way in, but the short visit is mostly consumed by Piper’s attempt to get food out of (intentionally) broken vending machines. Larry comes for a visit, only to be confronted with the slow-moving bureaucracy of the federal penitentiary system when his name isn’t on the first list the officer grabs. It will be interesting to see the relationship between Dayanara and her mother develop, especially after her mother threatens that “from here on out, this place will hit you for me.” What happened with these two?

The husbands decide to use Red’s restaurant for contraband storage in lieu of the $60,000 they want from her does this connection ultimately land her in jail? She confronts the crew when she sees them the next day and knows she’s been left out, resulting in a tit punch that deflates an implant of the main mean girl. She tries to join them on their walk around the park, but doesn’t fit in, and after a few rude jokes, the women decide to continue on without her. She and her husband owned a restaurant, and she reluctantly agrees to befriend the wives of some very powerful, very mean Russian men at his request. We start to get a peek into the backstory of the other inmates, starting with Red. Is this new, naggingly healthy life some sort of penance for her dalliance with drugs? Her forced starvation is nicely juxtaposed with a flashback to her excitedly trying the Master Cleanse with Larry, which she fails after five days, and it turns out the artisanal soap business is a combination of Polly’s talent and Piper’s business sense the tiny reveals in these two scenes make you think that she’s still searching for her own thing, something to set her apart but help her ultimately live up to the earnest ideals she so desperately wants to follow. Piper gets skipped in the lunch line, sits forlornly in the cafeteria, and turns down food from Alex, but ultimately gets her food privileges reinstated when she makes an “artisanal” lotion for Red’s back with jalapeño peppers Suzy gifts to her. She has no commissary, no one willing to give her food for fear of Red retaliating against them, and Healy is no help (forever only concerned with who’s trying to have sex with whom). Piper - miserable, hungry, and hanging on to her yuppie tendencies - tries to use her ingenuity and resolves to survive the newly hostile Litch as Red tries to starve her out.
