5 Most Shocking Moments From Season 4 Of 'OITNB'

There are many things one looks forward to when summer rolls around. The beach, the sun, vacations, etc. For "Orange Is the New Black" fans, summer means a new season of one of Netflix's most popular shows. For those who are unfamiliar with OITNB, it is a fictional TV show only available on Netflix that follows the lives of inmates at Linchfield Woman's Prison. After having completed season four, it's time to reflect and review the most shocking parts of this awesome show.

5. Alex and Lolly kill a prison guard

At the end of season three, Alex was being attacked by a prison guard, a hit man in disguise sent to kill her from one of her former drug lord bosses. At the beginning of season four, Lolly comes along and saves Alex from her attacker. At the time it looked as if Lolly had killed the hit man, but he is only unconscious and later on, Alex ends up killing him. What follows, along with help from a fellow inmate, they cut the body up and bury the remains in the prison garden. Nothing says drama like a murder.

4. Sofia's attempted suicide

Sophia, the show's only transgender woman, was transferred from Linchfield to maximum security and sentenced to isolation. As an attempt to get out of Max, she tried a number of different tactics. Not eating, flooding her room, setting her bed on fire and then finally taking on drastic turns of trying to end her life by slitting her wrists.

3. Lolly gets sent to Psych

For most of this season Alex, Lolly and a few other inmates try and keep the murder of Alex's attacker a secret. But when the body parts are eventually found, an investigation in the prison begins. Lolly, who suffers from hearing voices in her head, had confessed earlier in the show to killing the attacker to one of the prison's counselors. However, because she showed signs of having schizophrenia or paranoia, she was just seen as someone who made this up because she's crazy. But after finding the body parts and remembering Lolly's confession, she is sent off to the psychiatric ward and is not seen for the rest of the season.

2. Piper gets branded

In season three, Piper Chapman had begun a secret business to make more money. The business being she and fellow inmates would wear sexy underwear and then sell them, unwashed, to customers around the world. When a fellow business rival threatens her, Piper rats her out to the guards and gets the inmate three to five more years in jail. This action also reveals the racial profiling that happens following this incident. As an act of revenge, Piper is captured and branded with a swastika on her arm by the rival inmate.

1. Poussey's death

Poussey was one of the nicest, caring and wonderful human beings you could possibly meet in a prison. She was accidentally killed when a peaceful protest turned violent. A guard, who had her pinned by his knee on the floor, was attacked from behind and accidentally suffocated her. Although the viewers at home could see it was an accident, the final episode of this season revolves around the issue of her death and the actions that should be taken forward. I won't reveal what happens. You're going to have to watch this season to find out what happens.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
