3Watson is released from the SHU, where she was sent in "[[Recap/OrangeIsTheNewBlackS01E04ImaginaryEnemies Imaginary Enemies]]", and Piper later confesses to misplacing the screwdriver. Through flashbacks, we see Watson's story as a promising track star. Chapman, for her part, attempts to take her WAC duties seriously, petitioning for the track to be re-opened. Healy agrees to do so only if she tracks down the source of the poon pictures currently giving the [=COs=] nightmares. Chapman does, but ultimately decides not to snitch on the phone's owner, causing Healy to rescind his offer. Instead, she convinces Susan Fischer, the new C.O., to take on the duty, and Watson gets her freedom to run again.

5!!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
6
7* AirVentPassageway: Piper and Watson have to crawl around in the vents to fix the wiring.
8* ADayInTheLimelight: Watson's back story. She was a champion runner with a shot at the Olympics, until she became involved in a robbery.
9* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Watson to Jones. "Did you kill a kid?"
10* {{Foreshadowing}}: Pennsatucky asks Chapman to help her get new teeth.
11* IJustWantToBeLoved: Watson in her youth. From her childhood PrecociousCrush to her inability to gain male attention as a track star, culminating in her boyfriend being a robber and a gangster and who landed her in prison.
12* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Watson's fate.
13* NotSoDifferentRemark: Non-villainous example in Fischer and Chapman. Susan acknowledges that while she's been luckier than Piper (in that she was never caught), they are not fundamentally different, and doesn't think of Piper as inferior somehow.
14* ShoutOut: To ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'', Creator/ReginaKing, and ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''.
