Caputo is challenged; workers make an unsettling discovery that leads to a long night of lockdown for the inmates.
This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
- Accidental Murder: Suzanne's crime was she not only kidnapped a boy, but was responsible for him falling to his death from the fire escape.
- A Day in the Limelight: Suzanne gets a turn for the first time since season 1.
- Interrupted Suicide: Healy tries to kill himself by walking into a lake. He's stopped when he goes back to answer his phone.
- Mushroom Samba: Luschek, Judy and Yoga Jones get high on Molly during the lockdown. This results in a threesome
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Suzanne gives one to Maureen after not only being pressured by the guards, but also for being pushed around by Maureen. The girls have to pull her off before Suzanne kills Maureen.
- Shout-Out: Healy says he needs to get something out of his car, before promptly driving away. Leonard Nimoy once did this on The Simpsons.
