central park
nicky nichols (played by natasha lyonne) – a former drug addict, now red's most trusted assistant, nicky is witty and acerbic, with a loud mouth. she swiftly befriends both piper and alex, expressing curiosity about what happened between the two of them outside of prison. she is estranged from her mother, a wealthy but extraordinarily selfish socialite who now lives in brazil. when she was a child, nicky was raised by a nanny and lived in a separate house from her mother. her father was always cheating on her mother when she was growing up, leading to a deep resentment between her parents and causing her father to almost never look after her. this estrangement from her parents was what initially led to nicky's drug addiction. upon arriving in prison, red had helped her through her worst bouts of cold turkey. for this reason, nicky has disowned her mother, and now looks up to red as a mother figure, to the point where she openly calls her "mom" in the presence of other inmates, and red in turn openly treats her as if she were her daughter. nicky was involved in a friends-with-benefits relationship with lorna until lorna broke it off, which nicky is bitter about for some time, but she later develops a brief interest in alex. nevertheless, nicky continues to make numerous attempts to get back together with lorna throughout the series, suggesting that her feelings for her may be romantic. nicky has a scar on her chest from having heart surgery as a complication of a bacterial infection in her heart, which came from using a dirty needle. having been clean for two years, nicky uses sex with the other inmates as a coping mechanism, becoming something of a nymphomaniac in the process. during the second season, nicky stages a sex-based point scoring competition with big boo, during which nicky even makes advances on officer fischer. she gets revenge on vee for red's slocking by stealing her stash of heroin, causing her to again face her addiction. in the third season, she attempts to get the stolen heroin out of the prison. she decides to work with luschek so he could sell it on the outside and split the profits with her. during a surprise inspection, drugs are discovered under luschek's desk and he blames her for it, causing her to get sent to max. on her way out, she exchanges brief goodbyes with lorna and red, and as the prison van pulls up at the facility, nicky expresses her satisfaction to tiffany that she will never be able to hurt them or anyone she cares about again, lamenting that, even after kicking her drug addiction, she may never lose her self-destructive tendencies. in the fourth season, nicky is surviving in max, and celebrates three years sobriety. she is initially shown ending a fling with stella carlin after discovering that she is using drugs again, but shortly after, falls off the wagon and starts using them herself. she has also been sending luschek hate mail, and angrily castigates him when he comes to visit her, attempting to apologize. eventually, with the help of judy king, luschek secures her return to the regular prison, and she has an emotional reunion with red and lorna. however, as a result of her relapse, she begins to steal from red to purchase drugs from the various dealers across the prison, and at the same time makes numerous failed attempts to convince lorna to restart their relationship. when red confronts her and breaks down in tears at watching her adoptive daughter destroy herself, as happened with tricia, nicky reluctantly agrees to clean herself up again. unbeknownst to her, red uses her influence to get all of the prison drug dealers to cut nicky off, while pennsatucky provides her with emotional support. she concludes the season clean, but admits to lorna that she is unhappy and a 'junkie addict liar'. in season 5 nicky hides out in the pharmacy with lorna during the riot and acts as a doctor/therapist to the inmates, helped by her knowledge of drugs. she gives up trying to get back together with lorna (claiming that she is hopelessly in love with her and knows that lorna will never love her back), but is later convinced by lorna into having sex. later, when lorna claims that she is pregnant with her husband’s baby, nicky ends their relationship after realizing that she can not give lorna the mental help she needs. she and alex decide to get makeovers from flaca and maritza, resulting in her getting bangs and her hair straightened. she is later seen having sex with an unknown blonde inmate while lorna looks on sadly. nicky is then kidnapped by piscatella while caring for red, and is held hostage with other members of red’s family. after piscatella is tied up in frieda’s bunker, nicky returns to lorna and finds out that lorna is actually pregnant. she then calls lorna’s husband vince and tells him that lorna is really pregnant, a very loyal person who cares about him, and that he needs to take lorna back. the season ends with her telling lorna to surrender to law enforcement for her safety before leading taystee, cindy, and suzanne down to the bunker, where the fate of everyone in the bunker remains unknown. in season 6 nicky is threatened with 70 extra years of drug charges and is forced to say that red had a part in organizing the riot and kidnapping piscatella. she and red remain on good terms however, as she talked to red first and warned her. she is placed in d block in maximum security, where she is reunited with lorna. she becomes friends with the leader of d block, barbara dennings, and helps her get sober. however, when the war between c block and d block starts to threaten red’s life, nicky begins to try and separate herself and lorna from the problems. she marries piper and alex in the season finale in a surprise wedding that she and alex planned. nicky then convinces lorna to hide from the kickball game and stay out of the cell block war. when barbara and carol don’t show up, she convinces the rest of d block that the fighting is pointless, and the kickball game continues with nobody harmed.
