Plot summary

Healy assigns Piper a work assignment at the electrical shop. After Piper loses a screwdriver, the prison staff conducts an intense search before it is used as a weapon. A skeezy correctional officer, George Mendez, molests Piper during the search. When Piper returns to her cube with the screwdriver, it places more strain on her relationship with Claudette. Meanwhile, Tricia Miller schemes to prevent her girlfriend Mercy's release by planting drugs in her bunk, but Claudette convinces Tricia not to ruin Mercy's chance of freedom. Healy informs Claudette that there is interest in reopening her case. Claudette initially declines, but agrees to have her case reopened after receiving a letter from her old friend Baptiste. Flashback: Miss Claudette ran an illegal housekeeping company until she murdered a man who sexually assaulted one of her employees.
