Plot summary

Detectives are pressured to file charges on two murderers and three riot leaders within a week. Daya makes a plea agreement for Humphrey's murder, while Taystee is considered a leader as the public face of the riot. Cindy tries (and fails) to warn Taystee about the framing with a note, but when she learns their fingerprints are on Piscatella's gun, Cindy turns on Taystee to save herself. Gloria names Maria as the riot's mastermind and pressures Blanca to do the same. Despite Maria's attempts to frame Gloria, MCC corroborates Gloria's story and she gets immunity for her testimony.

Piper bonds with her cellmate, Beth, but she later learns that Beth killed her children. Caputo becomes depressed while on suspension. He reconnects with Figueroa, who is now interim warden. Dixon invites himself on a road trip with Coates, not realizing that Pennsatucky is hiding in the trunk. Flashback: Flashbacks depict Cindy's teenage pregnancy, and how she abandoned the infant to her mother's care.
