Biography[]

Bell is seen in a relationship with CO Scott O'Neill. They are initially off and on as seen not together at Caputo's band's gig ("You Also Have a Pizza"), but shortly reunite afterwards when O'Neil tells her he has learned quite a bit about the female anatomy from Sophia Burset ("Comic Sans").

A few of the guards once played a trick on her when practicing gun targeting, thinking they have shot her dead, but she remains alive.

Season Four[]

When Bayley expresses his desire to want to die, Bell tells him to be careful, saying his mom can't hear him use the "D" word.
