In Tit Punch Piper has not gotten off to the best of starts having made a disparaging remark about the food in front of Red, who not only rules the prison but also is head chef. Red gets her revenge by first off preparing disgusting inedible food and then starving her out. Suzanne aka Crazy Eyes manages to come up with a solution to get Piper back into Red’s good books.
Flashback’s also reveal how Red came to be in prison; She and her husband, who ran their own restaurant, had become involved with Russian “businessmen”. There are also more flashbacks to Piper’s pre-prison life.
