Orange Is The New Black Season 4: 9 Reasons To Be Excited

3. Resolution To The Alex Cliffhanger

Although Orange is the New Black saw most of the inmates getting to experience a brief moment of joy in the lake, for Alex it was a rather more drastic turn of events. The last we saw of her she was confronted by Kubra in the greenhouse, and there's been a lot of speculation about whether or not she was killed.

However, it seems rather unlikely that we've seen the last of Laura Prepon's character, and indeed she's appeared in promo images for Season 4 as an inmate - so, unless we're getting some very recent flashbacks, Alex is alive but not necessarily well.

Prepon told EW that the new season picks up right where Season 3 left off, which means we're going to find out exactly what happened in the greenhouse, plus we can expect some more developments in the ongoing Alex-Piper love/hate story.
