A Brief Recap for the Uninitiated
If you're still trying to figure out who Alex is, let's get you up to speed. Alex Vause is Piper Chapman's ex-flame turned prison bestie. Think of them as Bonnie and Clyde but with less crime and more orange jumpsuits. Now, onto Chicago.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
The Windy City Woes
Piper gets shipped off to Chicago for a totally unrelated reason (Pennsatucky, anyone?). Little does she know, it's actually a setup to reunite her with Alex. Why? Because drama, that’s why. Turns out Alex is in witness protection, or something like that. It’s a long story involving a drug lord named Kubra Balik, who sounds like a bad 90s rapper.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The Real Question: Why Chicago?
Now, this is where things get interesting. Chicago? Really? Couldn't they have picked a place with better pizza? Or at least a warmer climate? We can only assume the showrunners had a deep-seated love for deep-dish or were simply trying to confuse us all.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.

QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
