rS2 E6 "You Also Have Pie" is about:

* How Jimmy Cavanaugh (Patricia Squire) leaves Litchfield

* The first part of Poussey's backstory (about her falling in love while her father was stationed in German). In short, her girlfriend's father catches her with his daughter and insists on shipping Poussey and her father back stateside.

* Larry (Jason Biggs) visits Piper (in hopes she will be his mole) only to find out that he has become a "moon" which he then uses as fuel to make the moves on Polly (Maria Dizzia).

* Vee (Lorraine Toussaint) continues her consolidation of power and unveils her strategy to take over Litchfield

* Healy's continued effort to grow as a human being intersects with Tiffany Doggett's exile and Piper's attempt to investigate the corruption preventing repairs throughout the prison

* More insanity between Officer Bennett (Matt McGorry) and Daya (Dascha Polanco) and the rest of the Latinas

* Red (Kate Mulgrew) reestablishes her supply chain and tries to get her girls back

Oh, and it is also Valentine's day. "You Also Have a Pizza" is a line Flaca (Jackie Cruz) and Maritza (Diane Guerrero)

5. Valentine's Day

Not much to say here except that I am jealous of the perks that inmates get in the Federal system (if this is accurate). In Michigan, we did not get specialty cookies or a party (I don't remember it even being considered a prison holiday (we did get special meals for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the 4th of July).

4. "Hearing About All These Lives, It's Like Reading Dickens"

Officer Fischer (Lauren Lapkus) talked Caputo (Nick Sandow) into letting her listen to the prisoner's phone calls in real-time and she tells him that hearing about the women's lives is like "reading Dickens."

The first piece I wrote about OITNB was mostly about the dangers of approaching prisoners as vessels for entertainment (I call many shows who traffic in this "criminal justice porn"). Obviously, how people outside of prison interact with prisoners as entertainment is often replicated inside prisons by the folks who are in charge of prisoners.

The truth is we are human beings, not books to be read or adventures to be embarked upon from a distance, we are not games to be played.

Anyway, I am pretty sure we are heading rapidly towards a time when most phone listening will be done by algorithms and humans will only be involved when certain red flags are raised (kind of like what the NSA does now - couldn't resist - only half-kidding).

3. "Remember When We Sold Smokes:"

So, we finally know how Vee is planning to take over Litchfield. Correctional, by selling cigarettes.

Bizarrely, smoking can get you in trouble in prison. In fact, in Michigan, smoking as a prisoner is considered both using a controlled substance (not kidding) and being in possession of contraband.

But that is not all. When an inmate gets caught with cigarettes they also have to go to substance abuse classes as well.
