In episode 3, we learn about Burset and that she’s behind bars because she committed credit card fraud to finance her gender reassignment surgery. Piper has a lot on her plate in this episode: She lost authority over her soap-making business with her best friend, Polly turned down advances from “Crazy Eyes,” deal with the repercussions of turning “Crazy Eyes” down (there was pee on her bedroom floor) and make nice with her not-so-nice roommate, Miss Claudette. In one flashback, viewers see Red pop one of the Russian wives' breast implant, which is how her family gets mixed up in “holding packages” for “business men.” Flashbacks explain Red's backstory about how she was once an outsider in a group of hoity-toity Russian housewives. This is also the episode in which we get a look at Red’s life before prison. This ultimately ends Piper’s unintended fasting. Everyone except “Crazy Eyes,” that is, who helps Piper concoct a medicated lotion to soothe Red’s aching back. Even the inmates are too scared to intervene to stop Red’s punishment. But things only get worse when the protagonist's former lover, Alex (who recruited her to carry the drug money), gets sentenced to the same prison.Īfter insulting Red’s food, Piper is starved out by the kitchen. As a result, Piper's life is turned into a living hell. During her first few days behind bars, Piper offends the most powerful inmate in the prison, Red - the bold matriarch and prison kitchen chef.
