13. Here's Where We Get Off

Pennsatucky dies from her overdose. Taystee discovers Pennsatucky had passed her GED exam. Suzanne, having been Pennsatucky's roommate, sets up a memorial for her in the Florida block. Zelda invites Piper to join her on a trip to Northampton. Piper visits Alex and is told of Alex's transfer; Alex thinks they should break up, believing she is keeping Piper from new experiences. A conflicted Piper confides to Larry, who advises her to "do what new Piper would do." Luschek takes the fall for Gloria and claims he had smuggled in the cell phones, resulting in his termination.

Taystee returns her baggie of fentanyl to Daya. Upon discovering that Daya had brought her younger siblings into the drug operation, Aleida angrily chokes Daya. A homeless Cindy makes amends with Lillian and Monica. Red is transferred to Florida and reunites with Lorna and Frieda, but Red does not remember who Frieda is. Caputo and Figueroa visit an adoption clinic. In El Salvador, Karla follows a smuggler in an effort to get back into the United States, but breaks her ankle and is left stranded in the desert. When a bottle of Hellman's drugs are found outside the prison, Linda fires Tamika on the spot.

Hellman replaces Tamika as the new warden. The finale concludes with a montage delving into several characters' lives. Alex gets transferred to the Ohio prison, which houses many former Litchfield inmates: Big Boo, Anita, Yoga Jones, Gina, Norma, Leanne, Angie, Janae, Alison, Sankey, and Soso. Nicky becomes a new mother figure to several inmates. Flaca helps the detainees at the ICE facility. Gloria is released and reunites with her kids. Maria gets to see her baby daughter in visitation. Blanca wins her case and reunites with Diablo in Honduras. Mendez, released from prison, raises Daya's baby.

With a little help from Judy King, Taystee starts the Poussey Washington Fund with Suzanne's assistance. Piper chooses to be with Alex, having moved to Ohio to start anew and easily visit Alex in prison.
