Interesting. I'm not surprised and I don't think the show will miss her. I thought Alex was the least compelling of all the characters (once again, other than Larry).
The whole season, I was wondering how they were going to make Chapman's sentence longer. I knew she had to stay in prison for the show to continue, but I would not have predicted what happened at the end. I think that makes Chapman a much more interesting character. I'm guessing she will have to be moved to a maximum security prison and that's the direction the show will go. I think we'l see a completely different character next season.
