Post-sex, Daya thanks Bennett for the Valentine's Day card and shows it to him. Bennett says that Pornstache sent it to her, not him. At the VD party, we learn that Pipes is the one who has been interviewing some of the inmates about what love means to them. When Healy looks away, she asks about the plumbing. We follow Healy, who calls his wife, Katya, and wishes her a happy Valentine's Day via voice mail. Back at the party, Pennsatucky wants to know why the crew is ignoring her, and they say they're done with her. Whoa!

Across the prison, some of the Latina crew go up to Bennett and try and blackmail him. Um, yeah, this is not going to end well. Meanwhile, Boo and Nicky agree to call it a truce after they both slept with 36 people each. 36 people?!?! I can't list 36 of my Facebook friends from memory, and these ladies have seen that many vajayjays in the matter of what? A few days? I'm impressed.

Susan shows up to Caputo's show along with some more of the COs, which is a bummer for Caputo because he thought it was going to be a date.

We then catch up with Larry. He's carrying a bunch of items—I'm guessing to drop them off at Polly's like Piper suggested during their fight. Polly steps out of the elevator and he kisses her:

I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS GARBAGE. And that's all I'm going to say about this.

Just then, we hear Polly's husband come down the hallway and they pull away. Polly's husband suggests they all go to dinner once Larry tells him that he's getting rid of Piper's stuff.

Back at the prison, Crazy Eyes befriends Morello after finding the wedding invitation to Christopher's wedding that Morello stole and threw out. Aww, the two cuckoo birds found each other.

Flaca and Moretza are drinking hooch and hanging out in the kitchen. They make out but stop and realize it's not for them. Next, Taystee wants Poussey to hang out, but Poussey blows her off. Then we head to another flashback. Poussey confronts German Boo's dad and says she knows he got her and her dad kicked off the base. She says she loves GB, but right before she pulls a gun out, Poussey's dad comes over and stops her.

Back in the present, Caputo sings while Susan flirts with CO Luschek. Red comes over to Vee and says whatever the two of them have brewing will not end well. Pennsatucky runs outside crying, and Healy is sitting on the bench. She sits next to him, and he gives her half of his heart cookie. She hugs him. Aww.
