'''Chapman:''' [[NotSoDifferent I'm like you, Dina.]] I'm weak too. I can't get through this without somebody to touch, without somebody to love. Is that because sex numbs the pain, or is it because I'm some evil fuck monster? I don't know. But I do know that I was somebody before I came in here. I was somebody with a life that I chose for myself, and now... now it's just about getting through the day without crying. And I'm scared. I'm still scared. [[WhatYouAreInTheDark I'm scared that I'm not myself in here and I'm scared that I am.]] Other people aren't the scariest part of prison, Dina. It's coming face-to-face with who you really are. because once you're behind these walls there's nowhere to run, even if you could run. The truth catches up with you in here, Dina... and it's the ''truth'' that's going to make you her bitch.

* LongCon: Vause convinces people to act as though Pennsatucky's HealingHands are real. Piper then suggests she give a shot at Dina, the wheelchair-bound kid in the ScareEmStraight program. [[GoneHorriblyRight This lands Pennsatucky in the psych ward.]]

* CallingYourOrgasms: Piper tells Alex "she's coming" over and over during a flashback of their sexual encounter.

* AnArmAndALeg: The back story of how Bennett lost his leg is discussed. A subversion of the trope, however, because he didn't lose it in the service or in any heroic, plot-leaping way. He lost it to an infection from a hot tub in the States.
* BreakingSpeech: Piper gives one to one of the delinquents in the ScareEmStraight program. It's delivered with genuine compassion, which makes it all the more effective.

* DebtDetester: Tricia keeps a log of everything she's stolen, intending to pay it all back when she has the means.
