I need to get some new logos and art (will work on that for next week).

OITNB S2 E12 “It Was The Change”” is about:

* More of Vee’s backstory, mostly backstory showing how quickly she can manipulate and then turn on anyone (even the people she supposedly cares about). Vee even turns on RJ who she raised since she got him out of foster care and ends up having him assassinated by a rogue police officer (right after she has sex with him).

Vee ultimately exiles Taystee for sticking up for Poussey (after Poussey destroys most of Vee’s tobacco stash).

* Litchfield dealing with an approaching storm which ultimately causes flooding and forces the entire prison to move to the cafeteria for the night. Fig runs away to host a fundraiser for her husband's Senate career and ignores the crisis entirely leaving Caputo to handle the fallout. Fig also finds out, at the fundraiser, that her husband is having an affair with one of his male staffers. Fig also let the upkeep on the pumps and generator lapse making everything worse.

* Red dealing with the fallout after Taslitz stabbed a stranger instead of Vee (by accident). Red realizes that Taslitz tipped Vee off and that now she and her crew is at risk.

* Piper trying to deal with being told last episode that she is to be moved from Litchfield to a facility in Virginia. She is particularly upset because she has connected again with Alex but Alex will not be able to visit her in Virginia. Several other inmates, like Maria, are at risk of being moved as well to cover for Fig trying to get rid of Piper (who she blames for the audit she is deservedly facing). Anyway, Piper decides to use the cover provided by the storm to check out the Assistant Warden’s office to find evidence of Fig’s embezzlement.

* Bennett and Daya trying to come to grips with Bennett's refusal to own up to what he has done and face the consequences so that later they can honestly be together and raise their child. I think I have mentioned how much I hate this plotline many times before, so I will not dwell.

* Healy finally lays out his entire theory of anti-feminism and anti-lesbianism for Doggett. He mansplains to Doggett that patriarchy is why she gets free cookies from him. Awesome (sigh). This is also the first time we learn that Boo’s real name is Carrie Black (well, Healy calls her ‘Black’).

“It Was The Change” refers to Vee hitting menopause.

“Ruiz Has A New Baby”

Piper mentions this to Morello as another reason why Fig moving her to Virginia and using other inmates as cover really sucks (I don’t want to spend too much time revisiting how totally insane it is that any prison official would tell an inmate weeks in advance of a move).

So, when last we talked about Season 2 I was discussing how normal it is for prison administrations to move inmates from facility to facility as a means of silencing or punishing them (most often, this happens to successful inmate lawyers).
