Oh Nicky Nichols, we hardly knew ye.

(SPOILERS)

Well, at least we hardly knew ye in the third season of Orange is the New Black, when she was whisked away to maximum security on drug charges three episodes in never to be seen again. This was perhaps the biggest disappointment of the season, as the glorious Nichols - played to perfection by Natasha Lyonne - is maybe our favorite character on the show and a dependable beacon of love, wisdom, and lesbian sex. We desperately hope she returns to Litchfield in season 4, especially because OITNB just isn't the same without her. And so in Nicky's honor - and just to make ourselves feel better - we've compiled ten times Nicky Nichols has educated and enlightened not only her fellow prison mates, but us viewers as well. We miss you Nicky! Come back to Litchfield!
