Investigators look for answers. Vee is ready to make a big move. Caputo finally faces Fig. Piper makes a fateful decision.
Vee's family breaks apart and turns on her after Nichols's theft of her stash of heroin causes Vee to become paranoid and after Vee tries to get Suzanne to take the fall for Vee's assault on Red.
Chapman reveals Figueroa's embezzlement to Caputo, who reports it to the warden and confronts Figueroa. Figueroa's attempt to buy Caputo's silence by performing oral sex on him is to no avail, and she resigns. Caputo's new role as interim deputy warden gets off to a shaky start when Bennett confesses to him that he impregnated Daya; Caputo suppresses the confession in order to avoid a scandal for the new administration. Sister Ingalls ends her hunger strike after Red talks to Healy, and Healy gets Luschek to sign a fake work order to exonerate Suzanne and turn the focus of the investigation back on Vee.
Vee, alone and friendless now, escapes from prison via Red's greenhouse storm drain pipe. Rosa is told by her doctor that the chemo is not working and that she has only 3-6 weeks left to live. Morello intentionally leaves the keys in the van with Rosa, who takes the vehicle and flees the prison in order to taste freedom in the last few days of her life. She spies Vee by the side of the road and intentionally runs her down with the van as "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" plays on the radio.
