That's edging into spoiler territory. I think her reaction shows that she at least thought she had nothing to go back to. In any case, both characters are essentially opportunistic hedonists. They don't seem to plan anywhere beyond their next high.

Poussay's father seemed more upset that his food hadn't arrived than at finding his daughter's killer on his doorstep.

Firstly, the flashbacks didn't work. In the hum-drum world of regular prison, they felt like a breath of fresh air and a chance to see the characters behaving in less controlling environments, as well as giving a peek into their background.

She's pretty meth-ed out at this point, and the community she grew up in soundly rejected her.

But that wasn't all the inmates in the prison. When someone kills a guard it pretty much flushes the legitimacy of a riot down the toilet, which is exactly what we see. I just find it odd that Daya got zero heat for her actions.

I find it odd that nobody would be annoyed with her for shooting a guard. It's a decision that could have had wide-reaching ramifications for all of them, but Daya doesn't even seem remotely bothered.

Yes, montages are the laziest kind of writing, but there are deeper problems at this point. The characters seem to have become a little too skewed.

Daya shot Humps and started kicking the wound. Then she seemed completely unconcerned with either his possible death or how her actions would affect the rest of the prison. I feel like the writers never quite nailed down Daya's character because they keep making her do messed up things and then having the rest of the

I think they're perfectly suited to this season because they're probably the two characters with the least to go back to. No skills, low intelligence, no money, not attractive, (presumably) no close family, and addicted to any kind of drug.

Piscatella is not Predator. There has been some character mismanagement this season, but this takes the cake. You can't just keep making little meta 'we're doing a slasher film' jokes and think that excuses bad writing.

I really enjoyed the snippets of Aleida outside the prison. Obviously one of the issues with this show is that at some point a few of the main cast are going to be released. I hope that Aleida's story is a foretaste of what's to come. As the series moves towards its conclusion, we see what happens after jail instead

OITNB balances comedy and drama so well, but this episode is one of the few times it feels out of whack. Poussey's death already lost most of its impact since it occurred last season and before the Daya/Humphrey standoff, but it's a step too far seeing the subject veer towards comedy with the seance.
