With the inmates seemingly being shipped off to two new prisons, what type of warden and guards are they facing now? Selenis Leyva's biggest fear is that they will look back at Litchfield as the "good old days" when "there were only two bad COs or one or two bad seeds" and that even the likes of Pornstache and Piscatella will be no match for what's ahead.

Departing Brad William Henke shared a few ideas for who could fill his shoes. "I so wish Bayley (Alan Aisenberg) could come back because he has such a sweet heart and wants to make amends," he says of the guard, whose ending was left open-ended. "There is Bennett (Matt McGorry), but maybe Caputo (Nick Sandow, above, left) could go back to being more on the ground. He does have their best interest at heart and the new head of the guards is going to have to be confident and have extra care."

Alan Aisenberg would love to return to the prison — "I missed the girls, some of them are my best friends," he says — but admits the situation with Bayley is tricky. "He's at this position where he doesn't know what he wants. He wants justice and no one seems to want to give it to him." He said his final scene of leaving town is open to interpretation and his future is up to the writers: "I think the story of a 21-year-old who accidentally kills someone can't be mapped out to a lot of other examples. He's a wild card."

Nick Sandow, who also directed an episode this season, knows Caputo will be back, but he has no idea if that will be in the form of a promotion or a demotion. "It's easy for him to just get by, he's kind of a screwup," Sandow said. "But it's all in his face and he's really sad. He's realized how much he's failed and especially with Taystee. There was something there with her and that makes his failure really obvious."

He adds of the season, "What the writers did is they shook the Etch A Sketch so hard that they can go anywhere. There is no box anymore. Last season, they had real stuff to deal with and they were amazingly brave. They dealt with it head on and said, 'We're not going to look away for three days and 13 episodes.' Now I think they wrote themselves out of that and can do anything and go anywhere."
