Since no one has posted I thought I would start Ep 1

Possibly one of the most contrived eps around. Kaz has to be the worst top dog ever. Ally is just as bad as last year. Ferguson is the worst. If Bea was written out because the writers/ producers supposedly couldn't come up with any more stories than how can they come up with what they are doing with her? She's become Teflon Freak the untouchable and it's hurting the show. If she doesn't die mid season or at the end you know the writers/producers reason for removing Bea was bogus to string the audience to watch.

As for Franky I figured it was her victim last season watching her though they did throw a red herring with Vera. Still she had it coming with her living so openly with the psychiatrist but again if Beas story flatlined, how can Frankys keep going as well?

I think the writers panicked when the Bea actress I assume wanted off the show and this is the result. Ill conceived plot contrivances to fit a story. It's a prison show, people do come and go but not lighting fast. Focus more on the prison aspects which it did in the first season.
