This review ofOrange is the New Blackseason 2 contains spoilers.

The characters are pushed to their limits, and forced to either evolve or get left behind.

Rumor has it thatOrange is the New BlackSeason 3 will be Correction Officer-centric.

If that is the case, I implore the fans to rabidly petition for more Pornstache.

The overall theme ofOrange is the New BlackSeason 2?

I know it sounds wonky, but bear with me here.

People believe they are entitled to compassion.

This is why we are always so butt hurt when we feel wronged.

That expectation does not mean shit at Litchfield.

Caputo believes it is their responsibility to, at the very least, keep the women safe and clean.

Who knew the urethra could be such a revelation?

Below,Den of Geekchecks in with the characters ofOitNBas they fly blind through Season 2.

Despite this reality check, Piper lies under oath, at Alexs insistence, claiming not to know Kubra.

A short time later, Kubra walks thanks to a mistrial.

Piper is the only one left in prison; the consequences of perjuring herself yet to be seen.

She is learning the hard way that life is not like a chapter out ofThe Secret.

Shit happens, and more often than not, life is unfair.

Despite these realizations, Piper still benefits from a certain level of privilege.

Feeling betrayed on all sides, Piper takes a cue from Red and plots her revenge.

Surprisingly, Piper manages to hang on to her compassion even while she jettisons her martyred sense of entitlement.

For Piper Chapman, the time has come to give as good as you get.

Although the elderly inmates prove more than capable of shiving someone.

The two OGs may act like friends, but they are rivals.

When Big Boo snitches about the tunnel to Vee, history repeats itself.

She cant help but wonder if Vee has also softened.

Short answer: oh hell no.

In the end, Red relents, only to get another vicious beat down for her efforts.

A master manipulator devoid of compassion; she doesnt just trigger the system, she invented the game.

Yes, you read that right (bleh).

She adopts Crazy Eyes as her surrogate daughter and muscle and enlists her to antagonize anyone who resists them.

Up to and including Miss Rosa.

Who bullies an old lady on chemo?

Vee had a busy season.

Everything comes crashing down when Reds girls steal Vees heroin and Watson and Black Cindy revolt.

Dont antagonize ALL the people.

Taystee feels indebted to Vee and quickly falls back into their codependent relationship.

Both women come from fucked up pasts; especially when it comes to love and family.

Then he tries to compensate by parroting what she says at his own job.

At least hes trying, right?

If only he hadnt spent all those years being disingenuous and abusing his power over the inmates.

Healy sees himself as a much maligned good guy; no one else does.

Especially since Figueroa, despite everything she has done, is allowed to quietly resign with a commendation.

Sure, Bennett is an insensitive dick at times who is terminally naive.

But forcing a resolution wont improve the situation.

Chew on that, Daya, and start using your brain.

She is a grade-A psycho stalker.

Her fiance Christopher is actually some poor shmuck she met once, and then became obsessed with.

Then proceeds to take a bath while wearing his fiances wedding veil.

She doesnt get caught, but Christopher shows up to Litchfield during visitation and exposes her as a fraud.

Humiliated, Morello finally comes to terms with the fact that she is seriously fucked up.

The final episode ends with her speeding through Litchfield, nearly mowing down Caputo and a gaggle of nuns.

What will Season 3 bring?

I have no idea.
