Hard to believe this brings Season 1 to a close, crazy journey so far, hope that you have enjoyed it too. OITNB S1 E13 "Can't Fix Crazy" is about:

* The Christmas Pageant - Surprise, Norma can't talk, but she can sing. Also, Caputo (Nick Sandow) tries to make a play for Officer Fischer (Lauren Lapkus) only to be humiliated when he finds out she has a boyfriend.

* Piper's attempts to set things up so that she can get married to Larry (Jason Biggs), this involves circumventing Officer Healy (Michael Harney) by going over his head to Fig (Alysia Reiner).

* Larry meeting Alex (Laura Prepon), who convinces him that Piper (Taylor Schilling) came after her sexually (not the other way around..which is kind of true and also kind of false).

* Red's attempts to take back the kitchen backfires when she mistakenly sets the oven to explode but burns one of her girls.

* The continuing and increasingly violent confrontations between Piper and Tiffany Doggett (Taryn Manning).

Oh, and "Can't Fix Crazy" is a reference to Doggett (because she is nuts).

5. "Go F**ck Yourself

First, Officer Sam Healy denies Piper the marriage paperwork and later he turns and walks away as Doggett is trying to kill her (right after Fig called him out for calling Larry).

I guess this is theoretically possible, but even CO's and counselors have rules and checks on their behavior. I have complained about this a great deal, but they have cameras everywhere in prison. I get that it is a minimum security Federal camp, but I still think it seems crazy that there is no controlled movement (that you can just walk out of an assembly and go outside at night).

I think Healy is nuts, so it doesn't surprise me that he would do this crazy stuff at all, my point is that he would likely be caught.

4. "Here's A List"

Aside from the absurd relationship between Officer Bennett (Matt McGorry) and Daya Diaz (Dascha Polanco) the storyline that makes the least sense to me is Natalie Figueroa's embezzlement.

How in the world would she steal millions of dollars in Federal funds? How would she skirt all the bureaucratic paperwork requirements and actually get cash to accounts that she could utilize? I am not saying embezzlement is impossible, I am saying that embezzlement on the scale that the show suggests is impossible.

Even more bizarre, how exactly does she think that leveraging Piper to have her talk to Larry about being more flattering to reporters will fix the problem with the reporter that has already figured out that she was embezzling funds?

Somehow, by giving a list of "good things" they are doing at Litchfield to Piper is supposed to get a reporter from a paper Larry has never talked to off of her back? Or any other reporter that gets wind of the possible embezzlement? How?

I really hate writing that warps the realism of the show in order to make a storyline fit. For the most part, this show is very well-written, in my humble opinion, this storyline is a low point.

3. "God Loves Me, He Don't Love You"

First, yes, people do make shanks (or shivs) in prison and they do often look like the one Doggett is brandishing in "Can't Fix Crazy." There are as many different varieties as there are kinds of metal that you can use to make a shank.

Many people have shanks in reserve, just in case trouble breaks out.

There is a delicate balance between providing essential products to prisoners and the dangers in relation to how prisoners might use those products.

The confrontation in the shower is also somewhat realistic. It is usually the case that someone will post lookouts and attack with a crew. Very rarely will people come at you with deadly intent one on one.

In my experience, people will usually attack you all at once, many attackers against one defender (I saw a lot of violence but was never personally involved in any).

Taystee (Danielle Brooks) was also right, Piper would have to handle this herself. As I have explained many times before already, you have to take care of your own troubles in prison.

Doggett's interpretation of the bible is also the way many people seem to read scripture. The idea that is okay to choose certain people who are under God's protection and others that God wants to be smitten started before the Crusades (and still makes little sense to me).
