"#OrangeHeads, we&amp;#x27;re in the home stretch of OITNB&amp;#x27;s second season. I&amp;#x27;m pretty bummed that there&amp;#x27;s only a handful of episodes left, but I&amp;#x27;m pumped up because &amp;quot;Take a Break From Your Values&amp;quot; was so damn good! We, at long last, get Sister Ingalls&amp;#x27; backstory, Piper&amp;#x27;s world gets turned upside down, and someone finally steps up to Queen Vee! Eep! There&amp;#x27;s a lot to get through, so let&amp;#x27;s start now. P.S. Check back at Glamour.com/entertainment/TV often for Orange Is the New Black recaps&amp;amp;#8212;I&amp;#x27;ll be posting as I watch the series! Sister Ingalls proves she is still a fighter and won&amp;#x27;t go down without swinging. P.P.S. I know most of you will binge-watch this new season, but for the sake of everyone, please discuss only what happened in the episode that is being recapped, so no spoilers about later episodes in the comments section! If any spoilers are listed, we have the right to delete them. Thanks! We open with the inmates watching the news, which is reporting on an impending winter storm. Soso is slowly building a small crew for her hunger strike and figuring out their list of demands. They call Sister Ingalls out for not joining the cause since she&amp;#x27;s in prison for protesting a nuclear facility. This leads us to a flashback. Sister Ingalls is being shown the ropes by a very serious Sister Constance and then Ingalls meets some other nuns who are going to join Whoopi Goldberg in saving a high school for underprivileged children are planning on going to a rally. Back in the present, Caputo&amp;#x27;s with Figueroa, who wants to put on a small anti-rape concert as she thinks it would be good PR for the prison and, obviously, for her husband&amp;#x27;s political career. #Gross. She tells him that she&amp;#x27;s going to hook him up by finally fixing the B-Dorm bathroom and that she&amp;#x27;s supplying him and his staff with riot gear. Soso goes to Piper and begs for her crew&amp;#x27;s list of strike demands be published in the prison newspaper. Pipes says she will try but doesn&amp;#x27;t think Healy will approve the inclusion. Meanwhile, Bennett wants to talk to Daya, but she continues to ignore him. Maybe I&amp;#x27;m in the minority, but I&amp;#x27;m kind of over this relationship. One second they&amp;#x27;re bickering and another other she&amp;#x27;s giving him a handy in a broom closet. That is so high school. Anyway, they&amp;#x27;re not talking, but Vee and Poussey, who is fresh out of f**ks to give, are. Vee threatens Poussey, but Pouss is not scared anymore. In fact, she seems broken. Pipes goes to Healy and shows him that she has included an ad for his group Safe Place in the layout for the paper. He&amp;#x27;s so pleased that he doesn&amp;#x27;t even look over the rest of the paper and immediately has it sent off to be printed. Uh-oh, I have a feeling he&amp;#x27;s going to be pissed once he sees the strike demands printed. Next, she asks him to approve adding Alex Vause to her call list. He signs off once she says it&amp;#x27;s not for &amp;quot;lesbian activity&amp;quot; and has her write down a feeling for the feelings jar. Love Healy&amp;#x27;s bootleg therapy. Red storms the prison to find out who told Vee about how she smuggles items into the prison. Nicky pulls her aside and calms her down. Black Cindy overhears this, cracks a joke, and that&amp;#x27;s when Red tries to shame her for selling drugs at the prison. BC doesn&amp;#x27;t feel bad at all and says that it was Boo who ratted Red out. Damn! The COs show Caputo the newspaper, and he&amp;#x27;s upset about the hunger strike demands. When he confronts them, Sister Ingalls comes over and asks what he&amp;#x27;s going to do about the quality of the senior care in the prison and says the way the prison handles older inmates is illegal. He looks anxious and leaves. Cut to another flashback. Ingalls and a couple of nuns have returned to the church from the rally. Turns out one of the nuns lied about having Sister Constance&amp;#x27;s approval and now they&amp;#x27;re in trouble. In the present, the black crew is getting lunch. Watson has returned from the SHU and being in solitary has made her more emotional than when I&amp;#x27;m on my menses. Unfortch, she&amp;#x27;s in prison, so she can&amp;#x27;t soothe her soul with gelato. Instead, she just snaps at people and seems like she&amp;#x27;s on the verge of tears. Sorry, girl. Anyway, Pennsatucky comes in the cafeteria to remind everyone about Safe Place and that&amp;#x27;s when Black Cindy tells Watson that the group is basically for inmates to snitch on others and in exchange, Healy wipes one of their shots on their record. Pennsa tells them Poussey signed up, and Crazy Eyes says she will sign up as well, so she can spy on Poussey. Larry and Polly want to talk to Pete, who thinks it&amp;#x27;s because they want to have a threesome, which he seemed to be on board with. LOL. Unfortunately, Polly says she&amp;#x27;s leaving him for Larry. Attention, OITNB staff writers: Seriously, what is this bulls**t? This is literally the dumbest thing I have seen with my own two eyes, and I watched the movie Showgirls twice in a row. By choice. Anyway, Pete punches Larry and that pleases me. Like &amp;quot;Joaquin Phoenix giving a thumbs up in Gladiator pleases me.&amp;quot; Moving on. Daya goes to Aleida. She feels bad about Pornstache going to jail and is scared that this plan is not going to work. Aleida attempts to calm her down by basically saying, &amp;quot;Now you can sue the government for getting &amp;#x27;raped&amp;#x27; and have Bennett also provide money to take care of the baby.&amp;quot; Someone call Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff because this is the most a parent has not understood something. Pipes calls Vause and wants to know what the hell happened and how she got the plea deal. Vause was promised that her testimony would put Kubra away, but it turns out her testimony against Kubra didn&amp;#x27;t stick, thanks to a mistrial. Now Kubra&amp;#x27;s free. Pipes tells her to skip town and not to live in Queens, but as part of her release, Alex can&amp;#x27;t leave the state and asks Pipes to get her on the visitation list. They get disconnected, and then someone knocks on her door. It&amp;#x27;s the garbage man. He lets her know that some men were looking for her: Back at Litch, Safe Place is going down. Healy wants the ladies to talk about their problems and feelings. He hands Poussey the talking stick, and she says she feels mad. But then Crazy Eyes enters the room, so she clams up. He asks her about what happened to her face. Poussey does her best damsel-in-a-Lifetime-movie-distress and says she just slipped in the shower. Sister Ingalls is now taking over the hunger strike and tells Soso to get in contact with some religious groups about spreading the word about the prison&amp;#x27;s treatment of the inmates. A couple of COs come over and try to entice them with pizza. LeAnne and Angie succumb to the pizza, and Sister Ingalls is all too happy to have those two out of the group. We then head to another flashback: Ingalls and some others are trespassing and hanging banners, and the men question if she is doing this for the right reasons or to one-up the other Sisters. Back in the present, the COs are doing riot gear training and Yoga Jones goes over to say hi to Watson. Watson snaps at her. Sad! Then Red and her crew confront Boo and tell her to go to left. Boo is without a family, but she doesn&amp;#x27;t seem concerned. Figueroa tells the inmates that she&amp;#x27;s ending the hunger strike and the newspaper. We cut to another flashback of Sister Ingalls. The church tells her that she&amp;#x27;s a narcissist and not focused on the church. They tell her they won&amp;#x27;t support her anymore. Returning to the present, the old ladies are discussing the greenhouse smuggling being shut down for a while. One of them suggests that instead of ending the smuggling, she kills Vee. Gulp! Speaking of Vee, we catch up to her in the cafeteria. She&amp;#x27;s with her crew, and Crazy Eyes reports back about Poussey and says nothing happened. Taystee says obviously, because Poussey isn&amp;#x27;t a snitch. Vee snaps, slams her cup down, and asks why Taystee keeps defending Poussey. Taystee says she&amp;#x27;s not and no one should worry about Poussey because she&amp;#x27;s already been through enough. Vee says fine and that Poussey is not her responsibility. If anything happens again, it&amp;#x27;s on Taystee. Double 7-Eleven Big Gulp! Caputo talks to some of the inmates after Sister Ingalls faints. The hunger strike is off, and he tells them that there isn&amp;#x27;t much of a story with the news because Sister Ingalls is excommunicated. He then sends her to medical seg to recover. Pipes visits Healy and tells her she&amp;#x27;s being transferred to Virgina in a week because Litchfield is overpopulated. WHAT?! Next, we see Boo go to Vee because she wants to join the black-girl crew. Vee says she doesn&amp;#x27;t like snitches and walks away. Ouch. Boo is so damn dumb to think that Vee was going to take her in. Anyway, as Vee exits, one of the old-lady prisoners follows and starts to shiv Vee, but it&amp;#x27;s not Vee!! It&amp;#x27;s another inmate who has the same hair as Vee. #NotAllBlackPeopleLookAlike In case you missed it, click here for the recaps of episode nine and ten. What did you think of this episode?
