Zone 500
Alan’s cellmate, Pancho has made a shank. This has Alan super nervous, what if he loses his mind and decides to shank him? It looks like production has informed Colonel Adger and he is sending in a team to do a shakedown. First they did a very though body search on all of the inmates. Then they took them all out of the zone while they did their search. They don’t find anything. Eventually, Pancho passes the shank to another inmate who didn’t want it so he flushed it down the toilet. Problem solved.
Alan makes Andrew as another participant. Nate is watching the conversation very closely so he is in on it too. Nate doesn’t approach them and basically seems to be almost gleeful at their discomfort.
Someone has gotten Andrew’s PIN and used it to buy $27 worth of commissary. He’s asking around the zone and in the process made an enemy with one of the guys who now wants to beat his ass. Nate sees it happening and gives him some advice. Basically, he tells him to guard his PIN and change up his habits and keep his mouth shut.
South Annex
Angele enters I-Pod for the first time. People are already talking about how pretty Angele is. Angele seems genuinely shocked by all the attention. I’m not. She is hot.
Jaclin forgets her alias and doesn’t respond to it when she is called immediately. Stephanie seems almost gleeful about this. It doesn’t seem like they are friends. Jaclin covers by smart mouthing the officer and losing her rec time. She’s also saying things like “if you only knew” when the officer implies she is a drug addict.
Two girls drag another girl off the top bunk and beat her up in Jaclin’s pod. Jaclin starts screaming at the top of her lungs for them to quit fighting. She has a top bunk and Lyric is in the bunk below her. Lyric is threatening to beat her ass if she falls off the bed on to her. The next day, Stephanie sits on Jaclin’s bed and they chat. Clearly, Stephanie doesn’t like Jaclin and she thinks she is putting on a show for the cameras. Stephanie starts stirring some shit with the other girls about Jaclin acting out when there is an audience. Stephanie has the crazy eyes in her confessional. She says she can throw Jaclin under the bus at any second because she likes winning. Why is every damn thing a competition for so many women?
Zone 600
Matt is not happy with his cellmate, Lawrence who seems to be a big fan of violence. Matt says he is scary. Lawrence is hoping to get back on the Indiana’s Most Wanted List when he gets out. Matt can’t stand Lawrence and his farts. I think Matt might be the first to bail. He gives a three-minute speech about the stench. At night, Matt decides that rather than peeing in the metal toilet, he would pee in a cup rather than risk waking up the fart monster. The next morning, Lawrence rats him out for that to the officers. The officer embarrasses Matt in front of the entire zone. Matt is prepared to fight him, thus the title of this episode, “Pissed Off.”
Johnny is also struggling for different reasons. He has no cellmate at all. He’s in solitary for hours and doesn’t know if it is day or night. I am claustrophobic just watching this. I may lock myself up in the ghetto shack for hours, but this place has great windows. I keep looking at other places to live and a lack of windows ruled out a place need the beach. I could not do it. He’s been in there less than a week and he is already thinking of tapping out.
Next week, Alan gets pissed off at an officer for being disrespectful. Emmanuel seems to think he is on a talk show. He is showboating like some kind of fool. The drugs and booze comes out in the South Annex. Jaclin declines to participate, but ole crazy eyes is the first in line. Nate has a birthday that may cause a beat down, and Matt continues to whine about Lawrence.
I laughed so hard during the scenes were Lawrence kept farting ? Matt’s commentary had me weak. Jaclin is acting bizarre now and it’s not even funny, she needs to rethink her actions before things get out of hand. I honestly forgot Johnny was in the program, Andrew seems to be barking up the wrong tree and I’m glad Nate stepped in when he did. Great episode
I was eating dinner while watching Matt describe the smell for MINUTES. We get it Matt JESUS. Jaclin is CRAZY. I think we will find out a lot more before the season ends
It was so disgusting, and the greasy hair. I wanted to FF but I figured it would stop before I reached for my remote. I may have to FF Matt until he gets a new cellie. And takes a shower. He doesn’t look like he smells so fresh himself.
It seems as if Jaclin has forgotten why she’s there. Shes becoming an active part of the drama and not in a good way. She’s trying too hard to look and act tough.
Don’t why but I like Stephanie even though she’s a sneak.
Matt knew his bunkie was a clean freak. Why did he think peeing in cups was okay? Dumb move IMO
Very interesting watching all the girls fawn over Angele. Best part of the show.
I want to learn more about Johnny. Hope he doesn’t tap out .
I look forward to next weeks craziness..
Thanx for the great recaps!
Stephanie is a ugly punk. She’s an evil little insecure snake and not remotely half as smart as she would like us to think. God she’s awful.
With all the crazy out in the world I just can’t with this at night. I watch it in the morning on DVR. But it is my favorite reality show.
Matt made an awful decision bringing his son, I can see him going off. After peeing in that cup what did he think his Jesus self was going to receive, a standing O? At least Nate is in there with the missionary.
Alan is so out of his element and Johnny is much more anxious than I expected seeing as he is the only one to have led the gang life.
The girls are so immature and far out of their element, I see crazy coming.
Thanks Tamara for recapping this show. I watch and wonder what you will say when you write it up.
I still want to know how much they get paid to be in there.
I hate this girl Stephanie. She was doing the most and all she did was talk smack on the girl Jaclin, like she was really an inmate. She shouldve got her ass beat and maybe it wouldve helped her lil funky ass attitude. For a lil black girl from the suburbs wit the nerdiest white boyfriend she sure thought she was hard as hell. I hope she gets her ass beat!!!
She the biggest cunt ever!
She deserves something… To not only betray someone on the side your “supposed” to be with but then “friend” her as though they were sister and throw her under the bus?! She not only did drugs, lied, disobeyed the orders she was given, she took someone’s nieveness and used up every ounce she could to just leave her dried up with no fight. Thank God her other cellmates who are actual prisoners were there for her.. Stephanie there is a special place in HELL for you NO matter what you do at this point.. I can’t even express in worda what the world thinks about you… shameful, scared, insecure, ugly, intermittent knowledge, just plaid IGNORANT.
That Stephanie chick is an idiot. She’s clearly jealous of Jacline. Jacline is a leader where as Stephanie is a follower. Jacline stands up for herself and what she believes in. She’s clearly focused on her true purpose in the program. Stephanie is focused on fitting in and will do whatever it takes to be accepted by the real inmates… including doing drugs. She has totally lost sight of the real reason she’s in the program. To her it’s some kind of a game. She needs to be sent back home. She’s lucky she’s not being charged with any crimes for the things she’s done.
I just watched Season 4 for the first time, and I cant help but bring up how when Alan got a new roommate and he was acting weird, he said in the middle of the night if Alana sees the girl with the red hair.
And in the next scene his wife showed up who had red hair. I think that was really strange.
