A group of inmates starts publishing a prison newsletter. Business booms for Vee and her girls, but is everyone on board? Gloria and Red come to a mutual understanding.
Due to Jimmy's escape, Caputo demands that the correctional officers and guards start monitoring the inmates more closely, and imposes a minimum quota for shots written. Flashbacks show Black Cindy as an airport security guard prior to her arrest. She is shown searching through people's bags, and she steals an iPad for her sister's birthday (later revealed to be her biological daughter). Taystee gives Nicky a cigarette in exchange for postage stamps for Vee. Red smuggles in styling products and other items for Sophia in exchange for maintaining her hair color. The Spanish girls continue to request contraband from Bennett. Sick of being taken advantage of, he threatens them with shots, much to Daya's dismay.
Vee's girls continue to exchange cigarettes for contraband and favors from various other inmates. Daya, Flaca, and Morello all ask Chapman if they can help with the newsletter. Poussey refuses to involve herself in Vee's business, but Nicky encourages her to get on Vee's good side. Polly comes over to Larry's house in an emotional outrage, and the two have sex.
Jimmy is released from prison, supposedly on compassionate grounds. It is suggested that she will be left out on the streets to die.
