SEE 2020 Emmy nominations complete list: All the nominees for the 72nd Emmy Awards Sophia says she does not look back and dwell on her prison experience. At the salon, she goes back and forth with Piper about the latter still maintaining a relationship to a prisoner, telling her she should move on. We discover that Sophia now owns a hair salon, achieving her greatest dream. She agrees to help Piper for a gala event, as we see in Cox’s second scene. Sophia humorously shades Piper, who she hasn’t seen since leaving prison, for having the same basic hairstyle as she remembered. In the first scene, Sophia is visiting her parole officer, who also happens to be the same officer as Piper ( Taylor Schilling). In “God Bless America,” Cox has two scenes as Sophia.
