Orange Is the New Black: A Relationship Update on the Main Couples
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.

Poussey and Soso
Heavy sigh. Poussey and Soso's romance is blossomming in a real way in season four, but it's cut short when Poussey is killed by CO Bayley.
Stella and Piper
We only see Stella briefly in season four, and she's all the way down in maximum security. Suffice to say, Piper and Stella are over.
Red and Healy
While Red and Healy grow closer during season three, they're at odds during season four. Healy gives special treatment to Judy King, making Red pretty angry.
Lorna and Vince
Lorna and Vince get married at the end of season three, but Lorna's jealousy gets out of control in season four. She accuses her sister of stealing him from her, even though it's Lorna who suggests she visit him. There's a revealing moment during the season when it becomes apparent that Lorna knows her jealousy is crazy, but she just can't help it.
Bennett and Daya
Bennett never returns after abandoning his and Daya's future baby, and it breaks our hearts. RIP, Benya.
Suzanne and Maureen
Suzanne and Maureen have a weird on-again-off-again thing in season four, beginning with the premiere when Suzanne realizes Maureen might actually be crazier than she is.
Fig and Caputo
Fig and Caputo's icky relationship continues into season four, though it's not as prevalent as it is during season three. They have one rendezvous, but for the most part, Caputo is in a full-fledged relationship with his MCC co-worker, Linda Ferguson.
Alex and Piper
These two can't seem to stay away from each other. Despite all the trauma of season four, the events seem to bring them closer together. Piper has finally been brought down a peg, and she's come to rely on Alex for emotional support.
