The event came in for considerable criticism, with many claiming that it mocked and belittled the lifestyles of those who are actually incarcerated, with Piper Kerman saying: “This is repulsive”. Netflix notified a premiere date for the original series however they have not notified the exact time all the new episodes will be out. The restaurant also hired actors to play the parts of correctional officers walking around the prison space and maintaining order.
As Piper seems to be losing her sanity, Crazy Eyes finds herself the surprisingly saner one after the escape leaves her and her new love interest, Maureen Cucudio, alone in the forest together. Lolly showed up just in time to kill the guy who was killing Alex. And by the looks of things, she may be way over her head with her employees. Maureen and Suzanne are so sweet and timid and gentle with each other at first, but by the time they’ve really gone on the lam and discovered an abandoned house on the edge of Litchfield’s property, it’s pretty clear Suzanne is the only one operating in the real world.

Throughout the season, the budding relationship between Poussey (Samira Wiley) and Solo (Kimiko Glenn) intersects with other storylines, such as the arrival of the Martha Stewart proxy Judy King (Blair Brown), who unintentionally reveals to Poussey that Solo has racist presumptions about her girlfriend’s upbringing. That she is, essentially, the only inmate immune to the rest of the prison’s new, uncomfortable adjustments will be one of the many factors in a culture war breaks out in Litchfield.
