Piper and Blanca? New photos from season four of "Orange Is the New Black" show the two Litchfield inmates taking a stand for something. They also show Blanca torturing Piper over a stove, so the line between friend and enemy is a little gray.
Another photo reveals Alex (Laura Prepon) escaped the greenhouse alive, but is she safe? The two undercover guards sent by her old drug boss Kubra (Eyas Younis) are hot on her heels as she runs up against a fence. She did make an appearance in a recent sneak peek video, so her survival chances look pretty good.
Someone who is not surviving well is Sophia (Laverne Cox), who got locked in the SHU at the end of season three to "keep her safe" after a few inmates attack her. Gloria (Selenis Leyva) better hope she stays there, because the look Sophia gave her on the way to the cell practically screamed, "I'm coming for you."
Back in the kitchen, Gloria and Red (Kate Mulgrew) are working side by side, but the two have a new culinary competitor. Blair Brown enters the prison as the Martha Stewart-type, Judy King, who is adored by Poussey (Samira Wiley). The two women look to be having a good time while whipping up a healthy meal.
The surprising friendship between Boo (Lea DeLaria) and Pennsatucky (Taryn Manning) still looks strong, sitting together in the cafeteria. Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba) can't keep her mouth shut, but Taystee (Danielle Brooks) has that covered. They also have a few new roommates with the recently bunked beds.
To recap, season three ended with the women of Litchfield sneaking off the prison grounds after the guards forgot to finish the fence around the prison. Instead of running away, the ladies flock to the nearby lake for a swim and a baptism for Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore). Unbeknownst to them back inside the prison, the guards are installing more beds and more prisoners are arriving.
Norma (Annie Golden) and Red reunited. Piper got Stella (Ruby Rose) sent to max. Morello (Yael Stone) got married and Caputo (Nick Sandow) is still a jerk.
"Orange Is the New Black" returns for season four on Friday, June 17 on Netflix.
