She's adopted to a middle class white family, who, despite not exactly knowing how best to integrate her into their lives, fights and advocates for her. So episode three turns attention to Suzanne/Crazy Eyes, as both Piper and Vee arrive back at Litchfield.įlashback: The outcast narrative is a familiar one to Orange Is the New Black's flashbacks, and Suzanne's adheres somewhat to this formula, if perhaps in a more extreme way. Very Important Prisoner: The first episodes of season two seem purposely constructed to highlight the supporting characters the audience connected to in season one. Odds and ends: Pennsatucky is back and is getting new teeth (thank God) pregnancy is taking a toll on Daya's bowels and the one thing about this show you cannot bring us to care about is whether or not Larry gets laid. The tragedy lurking in the shadows is that we know how poorly that went over when she received parole last season. There are still holes in Taystee's story, but the show continually presents her as the Litchfield inmate who is best prepared to leave the prison. When it comes to the interview portion of the fair, Taystee absolutely nails it. For some of Litchfield's residents, the job fair is an opportunity for dress-up-Sophia's cocktail dress is in no way appropriate for a job interview, but she looks fabulous-but Taystee sees it as her way out. Overall impression: After the dire circumstances of the season opener, we're back at Litchfield with an overtly funny situation as the inmates participate in a job fair. Tasha/Taystee recognizes that she does not want to associate herself with Vee, but in a moment of desperation is drawn into Vee's world, where she proves herself with her business savvy and in return receives mothering and care. Vee gives her the name Taystee, after young Tasha describes the snow cone she's eating. It's there, however, where she runs across Vee, who offers to rope her into her drug business even though she's just a young girl. Young Tasha had been precocious as a child, but not reserved enough for the families at adoption day for black families. RELATED: Hurry Up and Renew 'Playing House' Already, USAįlashback: "Looks Blue, Tastes Red" delves into Taystee's backstory, revealing, among other things, how Taystee got her nickname. The episode also introduces us to Vee (Lorraine Toussaint), a character integral to Taystee's backstory, who will be important as the season goes forward. Very Important Prisoner: As the show returns to Litchfield, it checks right in with a fan favorite: Taystee.
Alex succeeds in convincing Piper to lie on the stand, but it turns out Alex tells the truth herself and gets out.

(She's chasing after roaches here, not chickens.) The motives behind this season opener become more clear when Piper encounters Alex, who explains that Piper didn't kill Pennsatucky the two of them have been transferred temporarily, for the federal trial of Kubra, Alex's former kingpin boss. This, however, is not the Piper we encountered at the beginning of season one, even though her hazing looks familiar. Is she getting sent away for murder? Did Pennsatucky die after that season-ending beatdown? Piper is terrified at what the answers to these questions might be. But this is an intentionally disorienting episode wherein we're supposed to be just as confused as Piper is. Overall impression: It almost feels odd that the first episode of the season is entirely Piper-focused because the show has made such a point of not simply being about Piper's struggles. RELATED: Stop Making Film Adaptations of Philip Roth Novels When she sees her father cheating on her mother at the movies, Mom's cold-shouldered avoidance teaches Piper to keep quiet. But this episode lets us see how her guarded, WASP-y upbringing made her the morally conflicted person she is today. ( Dazed and Confused, for the record.) We obviously know that latter-day Piper has done loads to get herself into trouble, she even apologizes to Larry in a voice-message about not not cute her behavior has been. Flashback: The premiere episode is all about Piper, so naturally, the flashbacks look at her childhood in suburbia, where she is a goody-two-shoes afraid to rebel with the rest of her classmates on the bus or sneak into an R-rated movie.
