Let’s all go to CorrectiCon

The overcrowding problems at Litchfield just keep getting worse.

It was really fun because it was like, Ooh, I wonder what this will be?

Ah, a brontosaurus rex!

At least Angie knows how to keep things light.

This episode juggles two main storylines: For one, we finally learn Maritzas backstory, a.k.a.

Maritzas ambitions started small, dating back to when she was working as a waitress in a Miami club.

Be careful, a fellow waitress tells her.

One of Maritzas easy marks, however, is an ACTUAL con-man, and hes impressed by her skills.

So, he comes to her with a business opportunity.

(Um, Im not a prostitute, Maritza tells him.

Not even if the guys kind of hot in a mean dad way.)

The customer thinks shes an employee.

The employee thinks shes a customers wife.

Easy peasy at least until the guards catch him.

Our second main storyline of the episode takes us outside the walls of Litchfield.

Specifically, Caputo heads to a prison conference in Baltimore named I kid you not CorrectiCon.

Taystee continues to be the most relatable character on the entire show.

Danny crashes Lindas presentation with accusations of cost-cutting and human rights violations.

Im finished with a company that refuses to acknowledge what happens when we monetize human beings, Danny yells.

Do you even see yourselves?

Magic lasers and prison ice cream!

This whole thing is a disgusting display of how industry dollars are spent.

Tell em, Danny.

Which is why they both end up hooking up in a CorrectiCon supply closet.

Id watch them solving mysteries together in a CBS procedural any day.

Piper is also trying to maintain her hold on power by wiping out her burgeoning panty competition.

she thinks some of the Latina prisoners are starting a gang.

Hes grateful for the info, but he also informs her that her feminine wiles wont work on him.

Ive had a beard since 10th grade, he tells her.

Two beards, actually: the one on my face and the one I took to junior prom.

Way to go, Piper.

As always, you make things so much better.
