OITNB S4 E1 “Work That Body For Me” is about:

* Resolving the cliffhanger of the attack by Kubra’s hitman Aiden on Alex. Lolly hears a ruckus in the greenhouse, walks in and hits Aiden from behind and then kicks him repeatedly in the head until they assume that he is unconscious. Kubra texts asking for proof, so they take a proof of death picture.

Later, Alex returns to the greenhouse to figure out how to get rid of the body and discovers that Aiden is still alive and decides that she has to finish him off by suffocation. Later Lolly and Alex join with Frieda to dismember and dispose of the body (they bury him in the garden).

* Caputo realizes that he now has the power to demand CO’s from Max be sent to Litchfield to help him deal with his staffing problems and as a result, we get the first appearance of CO Desi Piscatella.

Piscatella starts to establish what will become a troubling relationship with Red. The full impact of the changes coming from MCC start to become apparent as hundreds of new inmates arrive and the hours for chow change.

* Piper is still convinced that she is a total badass and that she is running the camp. She mostly walks around threatening anyone who talks back to her or gives her any sass (this is just silly). Pidge and Ouija show up and want to know who is in charge and Flacca points them towards Piper (insanity).

* Suzanne escapes with Maureen and then realizes that Maureen is even crazier than she is so she runs away back to Litchfield. Maureen decides to stay and is eventually recovered by Caputo.

* The official arrival of Judy King at Litchfield. Because of all the CO’s quitting and the aftereffects of the entire camp population taking a swimming break nobody is there to take her into custody when she first arrives. Ultimately, Luschek and then Caputo move her to a private room (Healy’s office).

Running With Toilet Paper?

When Alex takes off in the middle of the night to check on what she thinks is Kubra’s dead hitman she is running down the hall with a roll of toilet paper.

Why?

That is actually a nice authentic touch. Inmates are given rolls of toilet paper on a regular basis and you carry those with you when you go to the bathroom. So, what Alex is signaling to any CO who might be watching is that she is headed to the bathroom (one of the only reasons you are allowed to leave your bunk area after lights out).
