Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Red is finally allowed back into the prison kitchen, but Gloria does not hand her power back.

[00:00:05]She still does not trust Red, so she keeps her on basic work like sweeping, washing dishes, and helping Norma.

[00:00:13]Gloria also makes it clear that Red is staying away from knives and staying away from any tricks.

[00:00:18]But the kitchen starts falling apart fast.

[00:00:21]After someone slices a finger, Red snaps at Gloria for losing control, and the argument brings out everything Gloria has been holding in.

[00:00:29]She is exhausted, worried about her son, tired of the pressure, and desperate to escape the responsibility.

[00:00:36]Then Gloria finally breaks and says she quits.

[00:00:40]Red reminds her that this is prison, so quitting does not really work that way.

[00:00:45]But Gloria is done.

[00:00:47]She throws the kitchen back at Red and walks away.

[00:00:50]In the end, Red returns as a suspect, then regains control because Gloria can no longer carry the job.
