Plot summary

The prison erupts into a riot when the inmates are not satisfied with Caputo's handling of Poussey's death. Daya shoots CO Humphrey in the thigh. His life is eventually saved by Sophia, who has paramedic training from her days as a firefighter. Piper and Alex find Linda hiding in the bathroom and attempt to make a deal with her. Upon realizing that the entrances are closed, Piper and Alex disguise Linda as an inmate. Taystee, Cindy, Janae and Alison force Caputo to read a statement about Poussey's death, which Taystee records on an iPad. Josh, a PR representative from MCC who was visiting Caputo, helps her upload it to Twitter, since he thinks the story of a renegade CO reflects better on the company than out-of-control inmates. Daya attempts to contact Aleida, but an unseen person knocks her unconscious and steals the gun from her.
