Daddy is called by Barbara Denning. Barbara tells her that the rat prank was hilarious. But then she says that she really outdid herself and that she doesn't know what to expect next. Barbara wonders why she keeps Daddy around. Daddy says because she takes care of the details. Daddy continues on and says that because of the incident jobs will be coming their way instead of going to C block. Barbara says it's been a week and still no jobs. Barbara says that Daddy is losing control but Daddy says that she isn't. She says that everyone's going to love Barbara after this plays out and hands her some oxycodone. Natalie Figueroa is in her office when Linda Ferguson storms in upset about an article in the paper about the rats. Linda tells her that there was rat poop in every shipment. Linda threatens to fire her but Fig says that if she were gonna fire her she would've done it already. Fig says that Linda wants her help. Fig tells her that this is a PR issue.

Piper is in line with Alex who is waiting to see the gynecologist. Piper says that she isn't in line she's just waiting with Alex. She says that she's waiting until she gets out to go to the doctor in nine months. Sophia Burset and Gloria Mendoza are talking further down the line. Lorna and Blanca are talking about Lorna's pregnancy. Blanca tells her to test out what telling people she's pregnant will do. She asks the person ahead of her if she can cut in line and she says sure. Another inmate tells the rest of them to move aside because Lorna's pregnant. So Lorna heads to the front of the line.

CO Young hands over the keys to Joel Luschek and dubs him head of recreation. Young tells him that he needs to find someone to replace Cathy for the radio show. Luschek says that this might get him some Fantasy Inmate points. Young says that the whole thing is morally reprehensible. Aleida Diaz arrives at the foster home where Lucy Diaz, Eva Diaz, Christina Diaz, and Emiliano Diaz are staying. They ask if she's here to get them out. Aleida says that she's working on that and Emiliano says that that's bullshit. Aleida has to break up a fight that Emiliano is involved in. She learns that a lot of people are living in this house. The woman says that they're lucky that the siblings got to stay together. Lucy says that she wants to go home but Aleida says she can't right now. Aleida gives her some gummies and tells her that she's going to sell a bunch of these so that she can get them back. Aleida tells Emiliano and Christina that they need to take care of their siblings. Christina says that she doesn't want to go back to living with her. Aleida says Lucy does but Emiliano says that she doesn't remember what living with Aleida was like.

Daddy is running low on drugs. She goes to talk to CO Hellman about it. He tells her that because of her stunt the drugs aren't coming in anymore. He was smuggling it in with the cheese. Daddy says that they need to find a new way to bring it in. Hellman says if he does find a new way D block is out. 

Red is talking to her lawyer. He tells her that there is evidence that implicates her in the murder of Desi Piscatella. He also tells her that he made a plea deal for her. If she admits to the riot charges, they'll drop everything else. Red tells him this isn't good and that this is complete bullshit. He tells her that the best chance she has at seeing her family again is this deal. Red says that this is wrong and that she's being a scapegoat. He says that if she goes to trial she won't win and that she'll die in here. Red takes a pen and signs the papers. She does this as she cries.

Taystee is at court with her lawyer. She tells her that she didn't kill anybody. Her lawyer tells her to take the plea deal. The judge asks her if she's guilty of insighting the riot and she says yes. He asks her if she's guilty of murder and she says no. The people in the room start clapping. Her lawyer is handed a card. Apparently, the ACLU is putting a legal team together to help her. Taystee says that at least they believe in her. The lawyer tells her that she believes in her but that she doesn't think she's going to get the justice she's looking for. As Taystee is taken from the room, the audience tells her to stay strong.

Luschek is interviewing people for the radio. Flaca tries to get the job but she can't perform without Maritza Ramos. Gloria is in the patient room after her gynecological exam.

Alvarez and Copeland are outside and have overheard what they're doing. Alvarez wants to stop them but Copeland says that that's multiple 10 point incidents that will help them out in Fantasy Inmate. Copeland tells him that she's playing the long game.

Flaca goes and sits with Lorna. She tells Lorna that she's looking for a co-host for her radio show. Lorna becomes super interested but Flaca retracts her offer after Lorna insults her. Nicky scoots over and tells her that she'd be a great radio host because she was raised on Howard Stern.

The doctor says that if she got pregnant tomorrow she'd be high risk. Nicky and Lorna are taken to the laundry room. Lorna is crying because Vinny wasn't there for her exam. They go to unload the laundry but realize that they've been pooped on. Everyone asks Daddy what they're going to do about it. Daddy says that they disrespected them.

Red is admitted to C-block and Piper tries to say hi but Red ignores her. Red grabs a tray and sits down to eat. Alex and Piper sit with her as Piper tries to explain what happened.

Alex tells Red that she knows where to find them when she wants to talk. They leave and Blanca comes to sit with Red. Red gets upset because she learns that Blanca didn't get any time added to her sentence.

Luschek oversees the inmates exercising but the VCR eats the tape. This upsets the inmates. Especially Gloria who is having trouble accepting that she's going through the change.

In a flashback, Daddy is at a party. She's trying to recruit a new girl into the escort business. She asks the girl what she's going to school for and the girl says veterinary school. Daddy says that she can pay it all off if she just plays with one corny rich guy.

They tell her not to worry about it but she pushes past them and goes into the bedroom. There she finds one of her girls dead. She blames the guy but his security says that it was an accident. Daddy comes up with a plan to move the girl after everyone's left. She tells the guy to leave and to tell people he went back to the city late last night.

Some time later, Daddy is busy cutting tomatoes when her phone beeps. She's received a text from Felipe who wants to talk. She leaves the room but is followed by one of her girls. She asks what's wrong but Daddy says that everything's fine. The two of them end up making out and falling back onto the bed.
