** Season 6 ends this way. [[spoiler: Piper is released early, but this is itself bittersweet for her because she's got less time with Alex. The massacre planned by Barbara and Carol is averted, and all signs point to the war between C and D blocks coming to an end without their influence. However, Flores is facing deportation by ICE and has failed to get pregnant, Taystee faces life imprisonment for a crime she didn't commit while the real perpetrator gets off scot-free, and Red has 10 years added to her sentence for a crime she didn't commit while also becoming further alienated from her family]].
** Season 7 as well. [[spoiler: Alex is transferred to Ohio, but meets up with the other former Litchfield inmates who appear to be doing well. Taystee is still in prison for life, but decides not to commit suicide and starts a fund providing microloans to former inmates. Gloria is released, Cindy reconciles with her family, and Blanca is freed and reunites with Diablo. Piper finds peace and visits Alex in Ohio. However, Pennsatucky is dead, Red has developed dementia, and Morello has lost her grip on reality following her infant son's death. Maritza, Shani and Karla are all deported, and Karla is injured and left behind in the desert trying to make it back to the US. Aleida tries to strangle Daya after learning she recruited her younger sister into her drug ring. And of course, there are no big changes made to the prison industrial complex or to ICE. On the contrary, Ward is fired and Hellman replaces her as warden.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: Used regularly, not as a character development (though that happens as well) but as we get to know characters from different perspectives. Red is introduced as a vindictive petty tyrant who starves Piper for an unintentional insult. Later episodes flesh her out as a stern but caring matriarch who is adamant that "her girls" stay away from drugs. Big Boo first appears to be a terrifying PsychoLesbian intent on shanking someone, but much of that is just an image she's trying to project.
