Phew. With all Piper’s wistful staring, I was afraid she was going to pull a Rose jumping back onto the Titanic and I was prepared to be infuriated.
Blanca and Diablo broke my heart. He’s so adorable, and with the flowers...
Poor Badison, no one has ever liked her or been impressed by her. Not her classmates, not her peers in the boot camp, not her fellow inmates, not the viewers. As much as I can’t stand looking at or listening to her, I bet prison is full of her. Pain in the butt people who don’t know how to stfu and who make bad choices for stupid reasons. (I interpreted that fire incident as an accident. I thought she wanted to bully the other girl to try to fit in with the cool bad girls, but just wanted to spray her and make her roach spray joke. I don’t think she planned on setting her on fire.) Without Carol’s patronage, I’m sure she’ll be shoved to the side. I hope so. She’s the worst.
I know not everyone likes Taystee or her choices, but man, if she’d had even a nudge toward community college or job training... she’s smart and funny and has a good attitude... she could have held down a decent job if she’d known how to get there. What if her Vee figure had been a secretary or managed a grocery store instead of being a drug dealer? Someone who knew how to fill out a FAFSA and create a resume?
