Piper gets creative in order to grow her business; Crazy Eyes' sci-fi sex story for drama class is a hit; Alex doesn't trust new inmate Lolly.
This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
- A Day in the Limelight: Alex gets the spotlight again, showing what led to her fear that Kubra would eventually get her.
- Answer Cut: When one of the inmates asks "who bought all the Ramen Noodles?". Cut to Piper hiding all the Ramen Noodle flavors in her bunk for profit gain.
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends on Lolly recording every move that Alex makes throughout the day.
- Depraved Bisexual: Piper tells Stella she has a girlfriend while flirting with her and she is not above flirting with a male prison guard just to shuffle out dirty panties for her business.
- Oh, Crap!: The look on Alex's face when she learns one of her dealers got arrested in the flashback.
- The Paranoiac: This affects Alex both in the past flashbacks fearing Kubra will kill her for one mistake and in the present believing Lolly is the hitman sent by Kubra to kill her.
- Suspiciously Apropos Music: The song "Getting To Know You" playing out at the ending as Lolly stars at Alex and keeps track of her.
- Wham Shot: The ending shows Lolly is keeping track of Alex through her constant staring and writing it in her notebook.
