The third season of “Orange Is the New Black” is about to hit us like Miss Rosa behind the wheel of a prison van – hard and fast. With 13 brand-new episodes set to arrive on Netflix all at once this Friday, viewers need to be caught up and on their game before we reunite with the lethal (well, just some of them) ladies of Litchfield Penitentiary. Since most of us probably haven’t thought about Season 2 since we binge-watched it a year ago, here’s a refresher on what went down – and where things stand – with our favorite inmates and prison employees.

Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling)

Much like Andy Dufresne in “The Shawshank Redemption” (“I had to come to prison to be a crook”), Piper has grown more devious the longer she’s remained behind bars. She spent all of Season 2 incarcerated while her ex-girlfriend, Alex, who got Piper mixed up in the drug game, is granted an early release after she reneged on their deal to lie on the stand. Piper’s duplicity reached its pinnacle at the end of the season when, in a twisted combination of vengeance and lust, she had her best friend, Polly (Maria Dizzia) – who conveniently had begun dating Piper’s ex-fiancé, Larry (Jason Biggs, who will not appear in Season 3) – call Alex’s probation officer and tell him Alex was about to skip town.

Alex Vause (Laura Prepon)

The best thing to ever happen to a pair of librarian glasses, Piper’s former drug-smuggling girlfriend Alex Vause didn’t appear much in Season 2. But now, thanks to Piper’s sneaky machinations, Prepon’s return to series-regular status and this trailer, rest assured that there will be plenty of sexual drama between these onetime lovers in Season 3.
