Our characters weren't fighting each other as much as they were fighting the world and its many, many injustices.

Reality in Litchfield can get pretty dark sometimes.īut despite all that, this season was significantly lighter than last, free of the heaviness that Vee's presence gave. Sophia is still in the SHU, Caputo has marched up corporate ladder, the guards are walking off the job, Alex has probably been murdered (and it's Piper's fault), Cesar is in custody and the kids are heading to foster care, Big Boo helped Pennsatucky escape a rapist only to put Maritza in his path, Morello married a man who clearly didn't know about the conjugal visit rule, Healy is in love with Red and it's gross, Norma isn't magical and Piper saved her business by throwing Stella under the bus. The image of the inmates frolicking in the pond - of Cindy's mikvah, of Crazy Eyes' new love, of Soso's acceptance, of Gloria and Marisol's reconciliation, of Norma and Red's - all of this is just ever so slightly tarnished by the bunk-beds being installed and the lines of women in orange uniforms waiting to enter Litchfield. Because - as the season has hammered home time and time again - no matter what any of these women do to change or better their own lives, they are ultimate pawns of the system, trapped by the corporate machine.īecause as fun as it is to frolic in a pond when maintenance just takes down part of the fence, it doesn't change the harsh realities of life. Orange is the New Black finished its third season exactly the way it started: On a joyous note that is stained by a little bit of reality creeping in. Spoiler alert!
