Finished season four of Orange Is the New Black? Same here. It's painful to think it will be nearly a year until we get season five. There's so much we still need to know! Before you forget everything that happens on the fourth season, here's a refresher on what happens with the major couples. We'll remind you next year before season five starts, too.
