Brandy shows minimal remorse after the death of black inmate Poussey Washington and actively mocks it with her friends. Poussey's grieving friends confront them and almost start a fight.

Brandy later participates in the café which is set up, using her skills as a barista to serve coffee. When CERT officers storm the building, she sets booby traps to delay their progress and is eventually restrained in straight-blankets. Brandy is eventually transferred to FDC Cleveland alongside Sankey and Helen.
