Several stories and characters get attention here. And for the first two-thirds the episode is enjoyable but nothing remarkable, because we don’t really linger on anyone for very long.
Some terrific performances. Yael Stone has an astonishing episode-stealing scene, but Uzo Aduba has never been better. Taylor Schilling isn’t given much to do, but her final scene is magnificent. And Lorraine Toussaint is superb as Vee.
The episode went from good to great in the final third. First, we had a clever twist concerning Crazy Eyes and the Chapman/Pennsatucky fight. Then we got to see Vee beginning to make changes to the status quo. While Red watched. A powerful scene that bodes well for the season ahead. 10/10
