"Orange Is The New Black" has introduced a new character and it is Annie Golden's mute inmate Norma. Season 3 Episode 7 called "Tongue-Tied" focused on the backstory of Normal and the new business venture of Piper and Alex.
"Orange Is The New Black" Season 3 has been following the backstories of the different Litchfield inmates who were seen in the past seasons but are being introduced wholly only now. Norma is reportedly the sweetest person in the prison as a lot of ladies think that she is a healer and has special powers, Melty reported. She has done a lot of Santeria ritual and blessed the inmates inside the prison but fans cannot decide whether she is a good character or a bad one.
In the episode 6 of "Orange Is the New Black" Season 3, Gloria asked Norma to stop messing with the spirits and took away her rosary beads, eggs, and candles as she believes that the mute character is using evil magic. In the flashback scene of "Orange Is the New Black" Season 3 Episode 7, Norma was seen as a young woman and she joined a cult-like meditation group in the '70s, Cosmopolitan reported.
Norma was not mute before but in the flashback of "Tongue-Tied," it was revealed that she refuses to talk a lot because she has a bad stutter. Norma married the leader of the cult group she was in but the leader also married eight more women. However, the man was left by the other women and Norma was seen later in their life pushing him off the side of a mountain after she got yelled at by him when he called her useless.
As for Piper and Alex's business venture, the former came up with the idea that making extra underwear from the fabric scraps would be a huge business since they will be selling it to some guys who have fetish for sniffing the panties of the inmates inside the prison, Arts.Mic reported.
