Are you really suggesting that these women are receiving just treatment? That, having come to the US to make a better life (often for their children), they deserve to be helplessly separated from them, often without a fair shot at defending themselves? A lot of them barely had a choice- women like Shani, who came from a background of homophobia and FGM. If you’re someone that genuinely likes this show, you need to get your head around the fact that the author’s ‘commentary’ doesn’t differ at all from the points the writers of OITNB are trying to make. Children cannot represent themselves, and to be split from their parents for these types of decisions is disgraceful. When the judge asks why they are there, and if they know what a lawyer is, it becomes a shameful reflection of the American system today. Is it over for Alex and Piper?īut putting the story aside, the most hard-hitting scene of Orange Is the New Black Season 7, Episode 11, “God Bless America” is when the judge holds a court session with just immigrant children only. At the end of the chapter, Piper runs to Zelda’s hotel room, and they finally sleep together. Piper refuses romantic advance from Zelda - but then Artesian approaches her and kicks off, claiming that Alex deserves better. But it’s clear Piper has feelings for Zelda attending her fundraiser and getting the time off with her probation officer. Piper is hugely positive in “God Bless America”, and with Alex breaking it off with Artesian, the couple may be on the road to making it. But it goes from bad to worse for Nicky, who receives a loving letter from Shani - she’s been deported back home, to a family that does not accept homosexuality. Nicky is desperate to help Lorna, feeling like she has failed as a friend and requests that they share bunk beds. Nicky takes it upon herself to speak to Lorna’s husband and learns that their baby is dead. In a random corridor encounter, the pair square up to each other - it’s war, but for how long? I genuinely believe Aleida wants her daughter off drugs. She pretends she wants an abortion to her own doctor and takes the pills to the Detention Centre.Īs for drugs in prison, a random sweep is conducted in “God Bless America” wiping out Daya’s supply, but Aleida’s business is untouched. She learns that one of the immigrants is pregnant and is desperate for an abortion.
Natalie is trying to make the right choices for ICE rather than the cut-throat approach.
“God Bless America” takes the entire message further - Natalie, now labeled the infamous “ICE Queen”, is not happy with her role in this and tries to make sure that the wellbeing of her Detention Centre is met. As for Blanca, she manages to buy more time, claiming she would like her original conviction revisited that landed her in jail in the first place. The judge shows a terrifying lack of empathy. When Karla reaches her appeal, she is tragically dismissed and ordered to be delivered back to her homeland, where people are murdered daily if they do not follow the rule. We get a Karla flashback in “God Bless America” - she has children, and now they are adopted in America, leaving her in limbo in an ICE Detention Centre. Blanca and Karla have their appeal dates, so understandably they are nervous.
