Orange Is The New Black: 10 Best Moments From Season 3

3. Daya Has Her Baby

Dayanara Diaz fell pregnant back in season 1, meaning she has had - at around two years - what must be one of the longest pregnancies in TV history. Finally, towards the end of the third season, she gave birth. A lot has happened in the time since she became pregnant. She blamed it on Pornstache, and he was taken away to prison; her and Bennett continued their relationship in secret, and eventually got engaged; he then left her high-and-dry; she decided to sell the baby to Pornstache€™s mother; and now, at last, she has a child. It plays out like she may initially lose the child, and that€™s possibly confirmed when Aleida calls to tell Mendez€™s mother that is what happened. However, shortly after we see a perfectly healthy baby girl, and Aleida was lying so that Daya could keep her child. It may not work out too well in the short-term, as the baby joins the rest of the non-imprisoned family with Cesar, who€™s arrested by the DEA and the children taken into custody, but at least when Daya does get out she won€™t have to live with the fact she sold her child.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
