'Orange Is the New Black' Episodes 7-9 Recaps: Growing Pains

Orange Is the New Black is among the best at portraying flawed, nuanced characters that viewers just can't pin down as good or evil, and the Netflix comedy continues that tradition in episodes 7 through 9.

Picking up where the first half of season 2 started, we see Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) slowly come to terms with the dark side of her personality, corrections guard John Bennett (Matt McGorry) evolve from passive to volatile and Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson's (Danielle Brooks) fall down the ethical rabbit hole, thanks to Vee Parker's (Lorraine Toussaint) manipulation.
