orange is the new black season 1 episode 3

We see in flashbacks the basis for this feeling: Suzanne was adopted by a white couple (who we saw briefly in season one) who later had a biological child of their own. While Piper has been on her prison cross-country trip, some of the other inmates, including Suzanne and dynamic duo Taystee and Poussey, have been amusing themselves playing intense rounds of Celebrity, aka the greatest party game ever invented. Suzanne is on clock duty, timing each round, but when she asks if she can give the game a try the other girls get all “Oh, but it’s really crucial that you watch the clock” on her, and though she accepts their answer it’s heartbreakingly clear that she’s very used to being excluded. Meanwhile, Larry is still trying to use Piper’s experience to launch his own career, and meets with a New York Post-type of reporter who turns out to want to be put in touch with Piper, since he’s doing an investigative piece on how the administration at Litchfield is spending their money (i.e. He extends an olive branch in the form of raw spinach under her pillow (all that folic acid!) but this is clearly not over. Daya wants to tell the administration that she’s pregnant so she can get some proper prenatal care, while Bennett would prefer that didn’t happen, for obvious reasons. Fischer’s backstory is one I would really like to see, now that I think of it. Speaking of guards, Daya and Bennett are having very ill-advised clandestine conversations about their baby in the library.

Kindly prison guard Susan Fischer also makes an appearance, looking on approvingly as Nichols comforts Morello.

The third episode of Orange Is The New Black season two gave us the backstory of one of the best characters in the ensemble - Suzanne, or as she’s unkindly known around the prison, “Crazy Eyes.” Piper, seemingly facing no consequences for her lies on the stand in the previous episode, apart from a serious case of envy and resentment toward Alex for getting out, is back in the general population, as is Pennsatucky, who would like you to say something about her teeth.In this episode we also get an update on poor Morello and “Christophuh” - he’s marrying someone else, and that B stole Morello’s wedding date! This has never been my favorite storyline, as Morello is just a bit too delusional about her obviously doomed wedding, but it allows for some sweet moments between her and Nichols, who she dumped in Season 1.
