In what episode did Karin meet Orochimaru?


I'm not having any luck finding the specific episode that you're talking about
(if it even exists). What I did find is [a reference to the Third Databook
(pages 66 and 67)](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Karin#cite_note-d3-0) where
it explains how the two met,

> After the village was burned down and everyone was killed, Karin was
> approached by Orochimaru, who asked her how she survived, leading him to
> bring her back to Otogakure.

I'm guessing at this point that there was maybe a small flashback in one
episode somewhere, but if there is, I can't find a clip anywhere.

It's from Naruto Shippuuden [Episode 431: To See That Smile, Just One More
Time](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/To_See_That_Smile,_Just_One_More_Time).

This one is from the run of Infinite Tsukuyomi fillers that aired during the
Fourth Shinobi World War arc. Notably, unlike the previous episodes in this
set of fillers (mainly just fairly lighthearted happenings inside the Infinite
Tsukuyomi dream of various characters), Karin's episode here is basically a
rather sombre flashback to her past.

(This was a sad episode. Poor Karin...)

It's from Naruto Shippuden [Episode 408: The Cursed
Puppet](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cursed_Puppet).

Sakura is having chakra issues, then it has a segue about before Team Taka
formed, then that segues again at 15:28 about some scum that found Karin as a
child and was going to sell her as a remnant of a clan from the Hidden Eddy.
