Spoiler alert!

If you’re all caught up on Orange Is The New Black, then you know that fan favorite Poussey (Samira Wiley) is dead.

But, in an skit shared by BuzzFeed, Poussey and Litchfield bestie Taystee (Danielle Brooks), reunite for a night of fun.

Based on Black Mirror’s “San Junipero” — in the episode, San Junipero is a simulated world where the dead can live for eternity and the living can visit for brief periods of time — the duo laugh, dance, and sport spectacular wigs. 

The OITNB skit skips “San Junipero’s” sadder moments, giving viewers a chance to see Taystee and Poussey happy and carefree.

As you know — you must if you’ve read this far or you just like spoilers — Poussey’s death is the catalyst for season five, sparking a revolt as the inmates face off against the officers of Litchfield. 

Orange Is The New Black returns for its fifth season June 9 on Netflix
