Complete story — includes the ending

Piper is awakened in solitary and, without being given any information, is forced to board a bus and a plane to Chicago. Though Piper assumes she has been transferred for killing Pennsatucky, Piper reunites with Alex and discovers she is temporarily in Chicago to testify in the trial of Alex's drug boss, Kubra Balik. Alex suggests to Piper they lie in court about knowing Kubra, fearing he will exact revenge if they tell the truth. Piper meets with Larry's father, her lawyer, who strongly advises her to tell the truth. On the way to the trial, Alex pushes one last time for Piper to lie; Piper gives in and perjures herself at the trial. After the trial, Alex informs Piper that she ultimately told the truth. This complicates matters for Piper, who now faces perjury charges and additional time, while Alex is led out of the prison to be released. Flashback: Several flashbacks from Piper's childhood reveal her complicated past.
