When the jury comes back, it’s charades for us as well: just as the foreman is about to read the verdict, the audio drops out.ĭanielle Brooks is so good that even before we see the reaction of the outraged observers in the gallery, we know for sure she was right not to have trusted the system.Ĭaputo, who did trust the system, chases down Detective Herrmann to confront him about framing Taystee, basically, but when Caputo tries to press his point by taking a poke at him, Herrmann lays him out with one punch and goes on his way. “What have we been doing this whole time?” She shakes her head and shrugs: “Charades.” “Then what am I doing here, Taystee?” he asks. Taystee sobs that there is no justice, for her or for Poussey. He insists it doesn’t matter that the jury won’t see any article about the case because they saw, on the stand, the Taystee he knows, who inspired him because she wouldn’t stop fighting for justice.
To buck her up, Caputo tells her two of the other plaintiffs filing suit against MCC - excuse me, POLYCON - said they were doing it because of Taystee. Watching the prosecutor, Taystee says, it seemed like she was playing Guess That Shit - nothing was coming out of her mouth, but the jurors were nodding like they knew what she was communicating anyway. When Caputo visits Taystee afterward in her holding cell, she tells him about a game she played as a kid called “Guess That Shit,” where players act things out without speaking later she found out white people call it Charades. It’s time for closing arguments in Taystee’s trial, and after Fig yells at Caputo for acting like attending it is his job - with Caputo, in turn, accusing her of picking a fight about something she doesn’t actually care about because she can’t accept that their formerly meaningless affair has turned into a real relationship - Caputo is present in the courtroom when the prosecutor ends by showing crime-scene photos of Piscatella’s corpse, to counteract the effect of Taystee’s moving testimony. But since the money’s too good for her to give up, Aleida decides she’ll be the first, cashing in to get her other children out of foster care and giving up on her firstborn. “A Latin mother would never sell drugs to her own kids!” Aleida yells. Back at Hopper’s that night, Aleida lays into him for not having told her Daya was using Hopper was sure she knew. Daya, however, apparently forgot Aleida was coming and snorted heroin right before she came to the window, and Aleida can tell she’s high even before Daya nods out in the middle of their conversation.
Hopper having, in the last episode, insured himself against discovery by rigging Piper’s early release and thus keeping her from investigating his part in the Diazes’ heroin smuggling, Aleida now comes to visit Daya and excitedly updates her on how much better things are about to get for them.
#Orange is the new black season 1 episode 6 update#
The season-six finale uses most of its supersized runtime to close up its two main arcs - Taystee’s trial and the Denning sisters’ feud - but we also get a brief update on Aleida’s, uh, Nutri-Health sales.
