"Where is Alex?" is one of season six's biggest initial mysterious. Piper is on a mission to find her after being separated during the raid of the prison riots. Alex later makes her grand appearance in max with her arm in a sling following a stunt in the medical ward.
Determined to keep her record clean, Alex spends her time studying and focusing on her relationship with Piper — that is until trouble comes knocking on her door in the form of C Block drug associate Madison (aka Badison).
After making it clear to Badison and her crew leader, Carol, that she wants no part of their drug business, Alex's love for Piper draws her back in. Only five months before Piper's release, Badison threatens to give Piper more time by dirtying up her record. In an attempt to save her, Alex agrees to work for Carol and finds herself reluctantly participating in a planned brawl amongst the blocks on the kickball field.
In the season's finale, she elicits the help of Lorna and Nicky for a secret wedding to Piper, vowing to keep their love alive, if after Piper leaves Litchfield.
