In Moscow Mule there is a flu bug running rampant through the prison. Larry’s article is published in the paper and Piper is not happy that most of the story is false. It doesn’t do much for her standing with Warden Healy either. A broken dryer in the laundry does give Piper the chance to connect with Alex though. Polly is ready to give birth and Daya is pregnant and Bennett is the father. Taystee is also granted parole.
Flashbacks focus once again on Red who comes up with a plan to improve the profits of the Russian Mafia crew her husband is involved with. We also discover that Red is still using a produce store run by the Russians to bring contraband into the prison.
More vileness from Mendez as he puts the hard word on Red. He really a slimy despicable character, way worse than any of the inmates.
