Orange Is the New Black - Red's Diagnosis Scene (S7E10) | Rotten Tomatoes TV

[@louisewoodward9147]

The fact that the prison's mistreatment of Red caused this breaks me. They did this to her. Nicky is the best daughter.

[@tonyameredith7081]

This show proves family is not just the one you are born into but the one you make with others.

[@danielledeschamps3769]

You said it!

[@raularellano297]

Family isn’t who you’re born with, it’s who you’d die for

[@zataishasims9732]

Amen 🙏🏽

[@RisingTidesAC]

As a former homeless man I completely agree.

[@bigmoneyballer478]

it wasn’t even reds age, it was being kept in solitary confinement that entire time

[@natehatetrain9284]

Exactly

[@danielnemesio3388]

The concussion Vee gave her probably didn't help either, specially because it wasn't treated since Red wasn't willing to give her the satisfaction of acknowledgment

[@LegionIvory]

Man, I cried so hard in this scene. To see Red descend so far from where she was in season 1. It's heartbreaking.

[@iwasemotionallyslutty7854]

I lost my mother to dementia. I cried watching this. I didn't expect it to be Red's diagnosis.

i am so sorry for your loss honey. you are so incredibly strong.

[@danieladelcastillolocatell5839]

So sorry for your loss, my 91 year old grandma has senile dementia in october of last year 2022,she lives with me and my family, she is in bed all day and has a oxygen mask 24/7, me and my family don't when she will pass away but we do know that will happen so, we're still trying to make sure that she enjoys a happy and peaceful life for long she got and we're still preparing ourselves for inevitable passing to happen, thats why this scene between Red and Nicky hits home for me

[@golowz9286]

Nicky was like the daughter she never had 💔

and red was the mother nicky never had...

[@dannythomas417]

@@undeadbygordon Still is. I miss the old days in camp with Murphy and Romano.

[@danwajs6020]

i just love nicky. She is so loyal and caring to those who matter to her through the end! Red excommunicated her because of the letter thing but Nicky still sought to get her help when she needed it. Morello went down the rabbithole and despite playing games with Nickys feelings over and over again ... Nicky was there for her as well. Everyone needs someone like Nicky to care that much in their life. Best character on the show !

[@Eliot-demon]

I agree 100%

the little patch of red left in her hair… 🥺

[@officaltriple9edits]

@@MissBetsy131 there can’t always be happy endings for everyone in the show

[@deadshot1995]

​@@MissBetsy131 Unfortunately, a happy ending just isn't in the cards for many women (and men) who are abused by the US prison system. The show wanted to call attention to the endemic social issues which messed up these characters' lives, as well as the very real injustices perpetuated the US government, and I can respect that.

@@RipleysSanatorium idk what you're rolling your eyes at, it's literally a form of torture to lock people in isolation.

What are you rolling your eyes at? My grandmas’s dementia spiralled during Covid because of a lack of family contact. It is a proven thing. Pop your eyes back thank you.

[@Unknown69874]

But some people need to be locked away from others

[@jennifergrabinski8180]

But there is a difference between your innocent grandmother, and a serial killer/rapist. I am sorry your grandmother went through it, so did my mother. But some bad people do need to be locked away before they hurt more people.

[@ThatLadyDray]

I hate this disease bcuz it feels like you loose them twice. 🙏🏾 for any & all who have loved ones dealing with this illness and for those dealing with the beginning of it.

[@Isabella-nh5dm]

No. You lose them over and over again. Every step another piece goes...

[@kaicronin9336]

I’m a CNA and I work with people that have this disease and yes u do feel like your losing them over and over again

[@kennethguthrie180]

Because, technically, they are already dead. This happened with my grandmother, and no one cared for her except me. And, yeah, the saddest part is that the them that you knew isn’t really them anymore, it’s just a computer where some dumb teenager deleted the System32 file.

[@rampageclover9788]

When they do die, it’s considered a “release” which is in itself ugly…dementia is hands down the worst of all human diseases

[@seth_sesu]

Kate Mulgrew is the best thing that happened to Orange is the New Black

[@meghanhedge5540]

Seeing this scene after my great grandmother dying from dementia. It makes me wonder what she thought in the moment of hearing her diagnosis

[@lanac5793]

Probably about how lucky she was to have her family by her side :)

[@jeremiahmalsack4718]

Never seen a single episode of this show, but I was on a Mulgrew mission and this popped up in my search and I was blown away by the power of the scene, and though her lines were limited to "I'm sorry", she commanded a great presence in the shot and conveyed all the meaning necessary. It brought me to tears, so I can't begin to imagine what it would have done to me if I had all the context regular watchers of this show had.

[@rorythenerd]

Watch the whole show if you're on a Mulgrew Mission! Trust me she is sublime and incomparable!

[@ahmedzayed5587]

That was truly unfair ending for red . Season 7 was very very devastating to every one

[@deadinthebed963]

Strangely enough tasty didn't die but it wouldn't add more motion if she did

[@niceliuk]

One of the most intense and touching scenes in the whole show!

[@ElectricShark]

They should have released her early to her family and not kept her in prison. Or put her in a special group home.

[@kamiminana]

if i remember correctly, i think they did give her a “compassionate” release

[@rockoperajon]

@@kamiminana been a while since I’ve seen the finale, so I could be wrong, but I don’t think she gets a compassionate release. I think in the end, she’s still in prison, in “Florida” mostly lost in her own mind, with only brief flashes of lucidity.

[@ssd3904]

@@kamiminanashe wasn’t, she got moved to Florida with the elderly and mentally ill patients. One positive is that she and Lorna are together, since Lorna was also moved to Florida due to her own mental decline, so now they kinda take care of each other and Red is still mom’ing Lorna.

[@jaexiusnem1267]

They probably would give her compassionate release eventually

[@natashaamos3277]

They'd most likely give her compassionate release like they did with Jimmy who also suffered from dementia. The prison won't be able to care for Red in the long run.

[@laminage]

Dear God, poor Red. Kate Mulgrew was sensational in Flowers In The Attic the Origin. Such a fantastic Cast. I'm sure many of them will win Emmy Awards next year.

[@alexforagen5208]

[@mikeholtzclaw3995]

Most powerful scene in the entire run of OITNB.

[@lyndseyreed949]

1:15 So heartbreaking. 💔

[@withurshield931]

This whole scene…. The symbolism of the Red’s hair slowly changing to grey, showing how Red is slowly disappearing as dementia takes over. And her last bit of cognitive thinking was of Nicky being someone she trusts. And Nicky standing there listening intently like a daughter. Then Nicky realizing she is losing the only mother she ever had. This scene hurts so much.

[@JusticeFortheSilenced]

OITNB is one of the most brilliant shows in the sense that it makes you see things in a whole new way......It's one thing to hear about the detention and forced deportation of immigrants who have lived here their entire lives and the prison system and it's effect on mental health but when you put a name and a face with it it's a whole other issue. It's one thing to hear about police killing someone by asphyxiation but when it happened to Poussey it was like it happened to a friend. The hardest part was when two young children went up in front of the judge with no counsel or family it's hard to believe it actually happens..... We have to do better!

[@carliesacutieface]

This scene right here (plus a couple more) is why I can't finish the series. I understand it's all realistic, but it's so heavy and hits home for me personally. Dementia runs in my family and I can already see small hints of it in my mom, who really reminds me of Red. This is a scary reality for so many, including myself.

[@RealCaptainJaws]

[@devondonato4609]

nicky got pale asl lol

[@LittleRayofSunshine69750]

I lost both my grandmothers to dementia 😢

[@LadyMngwa]

So this is how the show ends. First they make the spectator bond with the characters and then they flush them all into the toilet. Okay. The show is actually brilliant in this. At the beginning it seems it is one of those dark comedies with occasional harsher moments. In real it is freaking traumatizing, especially when you consider that everything you saw is not unreal or unbelievable. And it is so inconspicuous in the way it hits you hard unexpectedly. One of the few movies where I struggled really hard to keep watching to the very end.

[@HoldenNY22]

Did they think about going to "The Doctro form Voyager- The EMH Doctor. Maybe they could have tried Dr. Crusher from the Enterprise for help as well.

[@Lusterburn]

My mom was diagnosed around three years ago and just passed on Mothers day. If you need a real world time reference for really bad Alz/Dm

[@bluecapic]

Belive me you are not better than basic criminal

[@gothicbodybuilder4939]

@bluecapic least I served in the military to protect my country. Had it worse then most of lesbians in a correctional facility. Least they got to see their family, had access to better food, and more control over what they look like. I had none of that and I came out ok. Like I said, no sympathy
