Season 2 also brings the villainous and manipulative Vee Parker (Lorraine Toussaint), who turns the prison dynamics upside down upon arrival. When we first meet Suzanne/Crazy Eyes (played with zeal by Uzo Aduba), she’s an unpredictable inmate who is infatuated with Piper, but as the show progresses, we see Suzanne as the loveable young girl who's been rejected by people like Piper her whole life. Oh, and everyone’s having sex in the chapel.īest Character to Follow: It would be easy to say Piper, but she quickly turns out to be one of the least interesting characters at Litchfield. Each character chooses to cope with prison life differently, and their relationships with other inmates might have nothing to do with their lives as citizens. In prison, several inmates have a job, even a sex life, both of which affords them some agency they may not have had at home. But while each character's flashback sequence is purposeful (this isn’t Lost), you’ll quickly find that what goes on inside the prison walls is way more interesting. In OITNB, it’s not just Piper’s life that was disrupted as a result of her arrest her fiancé, Larry (Jason Biggs), and her friends and family must carry on with their lives as well. (Sure, the mainstream media has declared that we're at a "transgender tipping point," but casting a trans actress to portray a trans character is a big deal and happens too rarely.) And those women are a refreshingly subversive set that includes characters rarely seen on television: elderly women, people of color, the overweight, and notably, a black transgender woman played by the trailblazing actress Laverne Cox. By showing Piper, whom Kohan once described as her " Trojan Horse" to get more diverse stories on TV, as a tone deaf character grossly unaware of her own privilege, OITNB makes her the window into the lives of much more fascinating women. Over time, the dramedy slowly rebels against that conventional, fish-out-of-water narrative to depict the absurdity and horror of prison life. She was on the lookout for some, after all.The show's protagonist is a bourgeois, white New Yorker, which-for the most part-is not representative of women in the criminal justice system. She might have tried to sneak out, spotted Daya, and took the opportunity to get herself some protection. After Soso left her alone in the library, Judy disappeared. This guess could be kind of out of left field, but I think it's possible that Judy King could have attacked Daya. Someone who is terrified of what's going on in the prison and is looking to find a way out - which they could do if they had a gun to prevent people from stopping them. It's possible that the gun was taken by someone who hasn't been seen for a while. It looks like Red really could be too obvious a choice when it comes to who attacked Daya, unless the show is holding back for a major reveal that she is in possession of it. She was happily wallpapering the halls of Litchfield with embarrassing pictures of Piscatella and not planning her next move with the gun, which one might expect of Red if she was really in possession of it. The next time Red appeared on screen in Episode 2, she didn't give any indication that she might have the gun. She was in the area, she had motive, and she wouldn't hesitate to take action. She was the last person to leave the room (after Daya threatened to shoot her) and stealing the gun did seem like something Red would do if she saw something that could increase her power, she would jump at the chance to take it. It was the very same statuette Red had threatened Ginsberg with, which could point to Red as the attacker. But there could be one more hint, too: the weapon used to knock Daya out. There was only one clue when it happened: a boot that looked like it belonged to an inmate stepping on top of the gun. It wasn't clear, at least not in the first few episodes. But who attacked Daya on Orange is the New Black?

But while she was picking up the phone, someone clocked Daya on the back of the head and took her gun. By the end of the first episode, Daya was making her way to Piscatella's office to call her mother after freaking out about what she'd done. She ended up shooting him in the leg, but her resolve wavered throughout the premiere. Warning: Episode 2 spoilers ahead! The fifth season of Orange is the New Black began where Season 4 ended: with Daya pointing a gun at Humps, a guard who had been particularly vile to the inmates.
