In an effort to go straight, they adopt new names and get jobs at a hotel. But with both the Mexican drug cartel and the FBI hot on their trail, Nancy realizes there’s only one place she can go — home.

The three-DVD set was priced at $39.98 and two-disc Blu-ray set at $39.99. Both include all 13 episodes of the season as well as these special features:

  • featurette with Kirk and Nealon
  • gag reel, interviews with the cast

  • and audio commentary on select episodes with creator Jenji Kohan and cast and crew members.
