History Recap / OrangeIsTheNewBlackS02E02LooksBlueTastesRed

* CoverVersion: Of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," which provides nice musical BookEnds. The episode opens with young Taystee singing the song and meeting Vee, and ends with Taystee encountering Vee at Litchfield while the CoverVersion plays.

* GagBoobs: Poor Polly is a milking machine. Larry points out that her breasts are uncovered and she waves it off.
-->'''Polly:''' They're always out. I'm the UPS guy's new favourite stop.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Taystee.

* FashionShow: The inmates participate in a "Dress for Success" type presentation. Each inmate chooses an outfit from a collection, and then the presenter critiques them during the show. A few of the less-fantastic CostumeTropes are discussed and shown. These include:
** AgeInappropriateDress: Morello wears a sailor suit that the presenter describes as "childish."
** BadassInANiceSuit: Nicky (who loses points for her hair) and Taystee (who loses points for a sheer blouse and too-tight skirt).
** BadJobWorseUniform: One inmate points out that they're more likely to be wearing fast food uniforms when they're released. (During a flashback, we also see Taystee in a [[BurgerFool fast food uniform]]).
** FashionDissonance: A "real world" (not futuristic sci-fi) example. Sophia chooses a short, sequined cocktail dress, which is completely inappropriate for a job interview (or work wear).

* KickTheDog: Fig to Taystee.

* UrbanLegend: The one about the dog and the peanut butter.
* WrittenInAbsence: Piper does not appear in this episode due to still being in Chicago.

* BestialityIsDepraved: One of the inmates doing "something weird" with the dog and the peanut butter.

* WrittenInAbsence: Piper does not appear in this episode due to still being in Chicago.

* GagBoobs : Poor Polly is a milking machine. Larry points out that her breasts are uncovered and she waves it off, saying "They're always out. I'm the UPS guy's favourite stop."
* HiddenDepths : Taystee's a math whiz. It makes her story all the more heartbreaking, because with better opportunities, she might have gone to college and not ended up in prison.
* KickTheDog : Fig to Taystee.
* LanguageBarrier : An ongoing issue with some of the characters. Daya doesn't speak Spanish, although the kitchen workers switch back and forth to English. We also see Healy listening to language recordings to try and learn Russian, so he can speak to his wife.
* MoodWhiplash : We go from Taystee's success and the somewhat funny cheers and support she gets from the other inmates to RJ's funeral.
* NobodyPoops : Discussed and subverted. A minor subplot involves Daya being constipated (a common problem during pregnancy). Aleida "cures" the problem with yogurt, resulting in an AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents moment as she talks to Daya while the latter is on the toilet. A good example of both CringeComedy and a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, since their relationship is mostly antagonistic.
