Orange Is the New Black Episode 2.12 It Was the Change

A thunderstorm power outage plunges Litchfield into darkness as Vee and Red's crews prepare for battle.

Vee's and Red's rivalry continues with several confrontations regarding their competing business ventures inside the jail. The inmates at Litchfield are forced to leave their bunks and sleep in the mess hall as the storm floods the plumbing system. Red and her gang are concerned about being attacked during the night; on the other side of the hall Vee also warns her posse about Red.

As the night continues, Lorna shares an intimate moment with a dying Rosa and Pennsatucky becomes close to Big Boo in an attempt to uncover details about their 'gay agenda' that Healy had described to her. Figueroa receives multiple angry calls from Caputo and discovers an uncomfortable truth about her husband. Back at Litchfield, Red attacks Vee while they are alone outside, attempting to strangle her with a piece of plastic wrap. Red can't find it in herself to murder Vee and spares her. The two agree that Litchfield has changed them and they shake hands on a truce. At the end of the night, Piper escapes the mess hall to find evidence of Figueroa's fraud in her office but is caught by Caputo when the power comes back on. The next morning, while Red is cleaning up the mess made by the storm, she is attacked from behind by Vee and viciously beaten.
