<P> As she rebounds from her unrequited love for Chapman, Suzanne is befriended by veteran inmate Yvonne "Vee" Parker (Lorraine Toussaint) as Vee develops her powerbase in the prison .

Suzanne serves Vee as muscle, even beating up her friend Poussey Washington (Samira Wiley) on Vee's orders . When Vee attacks prison matriarch Galina "Red" Reznikov (Kate Mulgrew) and puts her in the hospital ward, she manipulates Suzanne into believing that she committed the crime . Suzanne gives a statement to prison officials confessing to the attack, but inmate counselor Sam Healy (Michael J. Harney) produces evidence that exonerates her . When she realizes that Vee used her, she breaks into tears . </P> <P> In episode 3, "Hugs Can Be Deceiving", Suzanne's backstory is revealed via a flashback . She was adopted by white parents and raised in the suburbs, but her mental instability alienated her classmates and their parents alike . Her adoptive mother pushed her to excel at everything she did to prove that she was as good as everyone else; ironically, the constant pressure only made Suzanne's psychological problems worse .

Eventually, she turns to new prison counsellor Berdie Rogers's drama class . There, she begins writing a surrealistic science - fiction erotica series called "The Time Hump Chronicles" which, although considered obscene and strange by both Rogers and Taystee, becomes an instant hit amongst the inmates . Although they prove to be therapeutic for her mental health, Suzanne becomes stressed and irritated with the constant harassment by the other inmates for more material, the persistent ideas that are being floated past her and the fan - fiction that is left at her bunk or lying around . Soon, some of the extracts find their way into the hands of the COs, resulting in Officer Donaldson being mocked by both his colleagues and the inmates alike upon the realization that he is the inspiration for one of the characters . This leads to Rogers' suspension . Meanwhile, Suzanne is taken by surprise when she discovers that one of her more prolific fans, Maureen Kukudio, is actually interested in her romantically . Suzanne seeks advice from Lorna about how to respond; she admits she finds Maureen attractive, but she has never had a girlfriend before and subsequently feels she must back away from a sexual liaison . In the season finale, Suzanne assists Poussey and Taystee in caring for Brook Soso, whom they discover unconscious from a drug overdose, and develops a closer bond with Maureen in the final scene, owing to a misunderstanding over a turtle that bites Maureen's foot . </P> <P> In season 4 it is revealed that Suzanne's crime was kidnapping and involuntary manslaughter of a child she grew friendly with while working as a store greeter . Believing that she and the boy were simply being friends, she did not realize the implications of her actions when she came across him playing in the park and invited him to her apartment for ice cream and video games . The boy went willingly, but soon became frightened and wanted to call his dad . While Suzanne is out of the room preparing for what she plans as more fun, he calls 911 .

It is mentioned that she took a plea deal . When the inmates take advantage of a temporary lack of security and enjoy the nearby lake and woods, Kukudio insists that she and Suzanne run away together . Suzanne refuses and their relationship becomes rocky . In "People Persons", CO Humphrey commands the two of them to fight . Suzanne rejects this but Maureen, who wants to fight, provokes her by launching into a stream of insults . Suzanne fully retaliates by throwing Maureen to the ground and beating her repeatedly, until the Dominicans pull her off . This fight leads her to extreme guilt and a wish to punish herself . She demonstrates this especially when a peaceful protest in the jail cafeteria turns into a chaotic scene and Poussey Washington dies by suffocation . Whilst the inmates grieve over her death, Suzanne believes that Poussey is alive and tries numerous times to suffocate herself . Finally, she is sent to Medical and is placed in a bed next to Kukudio . </P>
