Orange Is The New Black Season 5: 14 Biggest WTF Moments
2. Piscatella's Past
The flashback to Piscatella's past shows him as a quite nice, easy-going guy, as opposed to the monster he has become. Once again the show successfully humanizes through flashbacks the characters for whom we shouldn't have any sympathy for. While it's hard to actually feel sympathetic towards Piscatella, the flashback somewhat explains the change within the man.
After his lover - who's also a convict - is attacked in prison, Piscatella takes revenge on the main attacker. By handcuffing him to the shower and pouring hot water over him, the guard makes the man pay for his actions.
One question still needs answering: is this the inmate Piscatella killed? Or was that a different case?
