Orange Is the New Black Episode 1.11 Tall Men with Feelings

Larry's revelations on a radio show jeopardize Piper's reputation and their relationship. Red enlists Dayanara in her plot to take down Pornstache.

Prison officials cover-up Tricia's death to avoid an investigation. The inmates believe Tricia killed herself and organize an informal memorial for her. Tricia's death affects Mendez, and he vents over drinks with Bennett. Aleida, Daya, and Red scheme to cover-up Daya's pregnancy. Daya will have sex with Mendez, which will then deflect any suspicions once Daya's pregnancy becomes apparent. During their encounter, Mendez uses a condom, so there's no evidence to use against him. Pennsatucky is held in the psych unit.

After Piper learns that psych is worse than SHU, she successfully petitions Caputo to have Pennsatucky returned to the general population over Alex's objections. However, Piper's bravery brings Alex closer to her. Flashbacks depict the fight and breakup between Piper and Alex following the death of Alex's mother. Larry is interviewed on public radio, and his comments are particularly hurtful toward Suzanne and Miss Claudette, though he is kinder to other inmates, including Red. Larry's comments regarding fidelity convince Piper that he knows about her relationship with Alex.

Chapman calls Larry and confesses her infidelity. Larry reveals that during Thanksgiving, Healy told him that she was put in SHU for "lesbian activity." Piper admits to Larry that she loves Alex, which Larry sees as a deep betrayal. Larry then tells Piper that Alex did name her, thereby admitting that he lied earlier. He asks Piper, "How does it feel to be in love with the woman who ruined our lives?", and says that he needs time away from Piper.
