THE DEADLY ATTRACTION | Nicky Nichols & Brook Soso — ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK (2013–2019)
WHEN YOU WALK INTO A PRISON CHAPEL LOOKING FOR COMFORT AND MEET A WOMAN WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION OF BEHAVING LIKE A SAINT. 🫦
Let’s talk about Nicky Nichols and Brook Soso.
Darling, there are bad days.
And then there are days when someone tries to trade your dignity for a prison blanket.
Welcome to Litchfield, where friendship is complicated and even the chapel isn’t safe from extracurricular activities.
Enter Brook Soso, played by Kimiko Glenn.
Sweet, idealistic, hopelessly talkative, and still convinced prison might resemble a dysfunctional feminist summer camp.
Oh, honey.
Meanwhile, Nicky Nichols, brought to gloriously inappropriate life by Natasha Lyonne, has other ideas.
You see, Nicky and Big Boo have embarked on a competition.
A competition involving women.
Lots of women.
And a scoring system that would make the Olympic Committee request legal representation.
Because apparently incarceration isn’t entertaining enough without turning your love life into a competitive sport.
And Brook?
Well, Brook has caught their attention.
Unfortunately, her introduction to Litchfield’s romantic possibilities has already gone spectacularly wrong.
After Piper Chapman’s disastrous blanket arrangement, she’s upset, humiliated, and desperately in need of someone who’ll listen.
And who should appear?
Nicky Nichols.
Darling.
Of all the women in Litchfield.
OF ALL THE WOMEN.
There she is, approaching with the reassuring manner of someone who has just spotted a VERY promising opportunity.
A sympathetic question.
A little attention.
Just enough tenderness to make poor Brook believe somebody finally understands her.
Well.
Nicky understands something.
And it isn’t necessarily Brook’s emotional needs.
Because Nicky is many things.
Funny. Shameless. Charismatic. Dangerously persuasive.
But a woman motivated exclusively by charitable intentions?
PLEASE.
The chapel becomes the setting for one of Litchfield’s most gloriously chaotic encounters.
Brook, bless her innocent heart, approaches the experience as another fascinating chapter in her personal development.
She has questions.
She has observations.
She has feelings.
SO MANY FEELINGS.
And naturally, she intends to discuss every single one.
Because if there’s one thing Brook Soso can do, it’s talk.
Before a conversation.
During a conversation.
After a conversation.
Even when the conversation has become considerably less conversational.
Darling, this woman could provide live commentary on her own honeymoon.
Nicky, meanwhile, has a very different understanding of the evening’s objectives.
And Natasha Lyonne’s expressions?
PRICELESS.
Amusement. Impatience. Disbelief. And the sudden realization that seducing Litchfield’s most talkative woman might have been a spectacular tactical error.
Because the opportunity may be irresistible.
But the running commentary?
ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTING.
Eventually, Nicky makes her desire for silence unmistakably clear in a moment so unsubtle that the comedy writes itself.
Romantic?
Not particularly.
Tender?
Hardly.
A masterclass in healthy communication?
Darling, we’re talking about Nicky Nichols.
And that’s precisely the deliciously messy comedy that makes Orange Is the New Black unforgettable.
Everybody has an ulterior motive.
Nobody is behaving quite as admirably as they imagine.
Somehow, between terrible decisions, chaos, and a complete absence of discretion, these women remain impossible to forget.
And Nicky?
Give Natasha Lyonne a crooked smile, a wicked sense of humor, and one unsuspecting woman, and she’ll manufacture a disaster before dinner.
And Brook?
Poor Brook.
She came looking for reassurance.
She found Nicky Nichols.
DARLING, SOMETIMES THE DEVIL DOESN’T TEMPT YOU OUTSIDE THE CHURCH. SOMETIMES SHE’S ALREADY WAITING INSIDE.
