Reeling from the bullying of Maritza and Flaca, Suzanne walks out into the prison yard, right when Piper is pounding on Pennsatucky. When she sees Piper, she screams, "No, Mommy!" and sprints right at her. Then, BOOM! Right in Piper's face comes a fist, with blood gushing out of Piper's nose immediately. Stunned, Piper just stares at the blood pouring from her nose and at Suzanne in confusion, as Suzanne continues yelling, "I don't want to! You're always pushing me to do these things! Pushing me! No more, Mommy!" As she roars out that last sentence, she lands a finishing blow to innocent-bystander Piper, knocking her out cold. Fortunately, she falls right next to the unconscious Pennsatucky, and they look like they're taking a couples' nap. Well, a very bloody one. And that's how the Chapman-Tucky brawl ended? Wow!

No, thank you. Good day to you, ma'am

No one's ever said "No" to my swirl proposal...

Following this flashback, in the present, Suzanne seeks out Piper and asks to speak with her privately. Outside Piper's room, she tells Piper, "I'm really sorry for what I did. Please don't be mad at me." Wanting to correct the misunderstanding, Piper says, "No, no, Suzanne...Suzanne, you saved me." Suzanne: "No, I hit you. In your face. Like wham, bam, slam!" Piper: "Yes, I...but you...you made it look like it was a fair fight. You are the whole reason I am back here. I am so grateful to you." Piper gently cups the sides of her head and tries to get Suzanne to see her sincerity. Aww. When Suzanne doesn't respond, Piper offers with a big smile, "Do you wanna go see the movie tonight together?"

Before she answers, Suzanne tilts her head to the side and sees Vee watching her from the doorway. She looks back at Piper and calmly replies, "No. I don't think so, Dandelion. I'm a garden rose." With that, she gives her a curt nod of her head and walks
away, leaving a surprised Piper to wonder where it all went wrong. Well done, Suzanne! Fight the power!

In the suburbs, loud wails interrupt Nichols as she adds notes to her log of sexual conquests. The source of these distraught howls: Lorna Morello. Clutching the newspaper announcement of Christopher's upcoming nuptials and with used tissues scattered around her, Morello is inconsolable on her bed. Nichols sits down next to her, as Morello chokes out, "That whore is stealing my date!" Apparently, Christopher is set to wed fiancée number two on the same day he and Morello had planned to marry. Yikes, that does sound unreasonably heartless on his part. Nichols cradles Morello's head in her lap and consoles, "I'm sorry." Awww.

Morello adds to her criticisms, "And she's fat!" Oh Lorna, no. Let's not do this. She shows Nichols the announcement, and Nichols sarcastically comments, "Yeah, that's a slut." She leans down and sweetly kisses Morello on the cheek,

comforting, "Fuck Christopher. I bet he sucks dicks." Oh Nichols, you should write Hallmark cards. From outside the bunk, Guard Fischer sneaks a look inside, and when she sees Nichols holding Morello, she gives a secret smile, happy to see Morello being cared for. Aww, Fischer, you little shipper you.

After getting denied by Suzanne, Piper walks back into her room to find Soso lying on her bed. Uh oh. "What are you doing?" demands Piper. Soso: "I'm really good, Chapman." She goes on to report, "Just setting my intention for the day." Piper, looking pissed, sasses, "Well, set your intention on your own bed." Not taking this seriously at all, Soso says in amusement, "You are so much like Meadow, it kills me. You know, traditionally, women are much more communal than men. That's why most women are less violent. I read that in a book about matriarchy in Papua New Guinea. Anyway, I think that if you shared a bit more easily, maybe you wouldn't have beat that girl up, you know?" Oh, well, it was nice knowing you, Brook.

U mad, bro?
Sneering at her with open contempt, Piper shoots back, "No, Soso. I don't know. No one has a fucking clue what you are talking about, ever. (*SNORT) And I definitely do not need your advice. Ever. We are not friends. I am not your new safety blanket, and I am definitely not going to be your new Meadow. I am a lone wolf, Brook, and a vicious one. Don't make me rip your throat out with my teeth." Oh my word! Piper, you wouldn't do that! Your teeth are too nice and pretty to use for such acts!

Over in the cafeteria, it's Pleasantville compared to the environment in Piper's room. Poussey, Taystee, Black Cindy, and Watson are again playing charades, and once again, Suzanne is on clock duty. Across the room, Vee sits quietly, reading a book, drawing the attention of Taystee. Poussey asks, "Yo, what's the deal with that bitch, anyway?" Black Cindy: "I don't like her. Asking favors already, like she own the damn place." Taystee, without emotion, tells them, "That's Vee." Poussey looks at Taystee in shock: "Hold up, like...like Vee Vee?" Taystee confirms this, but before she can explain, Flaca comes into the room, holding a sheet cake. She puts it down before Vee, who offers a "Gracias."

Shut the front door, is that funfetti?!
Vee immediately calls out, "Suzanne! Come get you some cake." Is there any better come-on than that? I don't think so. A proud smile on her face, Suzanne walks over to do just as directed, while the other girls watch in jealousy and surprise. While Vee is cutting up slices, Taystee approaches her and Vee invites, "Hey Taystee girl, peace offering." Succumbing to the temptations of cake, Taystee takes a big swallow and says in a trance, "Funfetti with chocolate icing." I mean, come on! Who can say no to Funfetti? (I can, but I recognize that I am a freak of nature in this regard). It's a game changer! Vee says with sincerity, "Forgive

Okay, the goal here is to make sure your hair does not look like it belongs on a troll doll
me. I promise I will never let you down again." 

After a long moment, Taysteee eventually gives up the fight and accepts the piece of cake being offered. Vee then instructs, "Why don't you, uh...invite your friends to join us?" This is what Black Cindy has been waiting to hear. When Taystee gives the go-ahead, the other ladies approach Vee and make introductions. Vee asks them what game they were just playing, and Poussey tells her that the game needs an even number to play. Vee responds, "Well, I count six of us." Yes, indeedy. Vee easily dismisses the claim that someone needs to watch the clock, and it looks like Suzanne is going to get her chance to participate. Yay!

When Suzanne starts to fiddle with her hair, Vee tells her, "Here, let me help you with that, baby. You know, I think it's time we found you a new look, Suzy." Suzanne explains that her hair is how it's always been, but Vee suggests, "Maybe it's time to just, you know, air it out a little bit." Across the room, Red suspiciously watches as Vee establishes herself within a new group. Vee looks up and confidently meets Red's glare. One thing is for sure: Change, it is a comin'.
