Oh my word this episode was good! A major reveal, Helena's (not so) different path, and Gracie nooooo! ⚠ I didn't write this review while watching so its from memory. Hopefully , whenever Shelly gets around to watching, she will fix my errors and add the stuff I forget. Instead of going in order of show I'll go by character (although I'm saving the big reveal for the end).
In Londontown...
Sarah, Felix and Mrs. S go to London. Her old neighborhood, not theirs. They go to a bar, where Mrs. S seems like she used to be a rock star? What? They meet Terry, an old flame of hers, who also helped them get and hide Sarah back in the day. They are trying to figure out who/where the OG Castor is and after seeing the poem realizes the number is an old prisoner number. That's handy. So he is going to go see a guy about a thing. Mrs. S decides to sing a jam while she waits. Fun fact you learn if you accidentally forget to fast forward the commercials, that is the actress and her husbands real life band!
You see Terry making a call to Mrs. S telling her to meet him, but uh-oh Ferdinand is there waiting. After much torture Mrs. S decides to check her messages and they get to his place and he looks rough! He whispers something to Mrs. S and she gets her lying secretive face on and sends Sarah and Felix to the bar to wait like good children and forget the (mostly?) dead man they just saw. So of course the leave and do nothing she said because they know her lying face by now. Sarah took Terrys phone, which Ferdinand wasn't smart enough to get apparently, and she calls the last number and says she is Mrs. S and this ruse works. A cab comes to get her and whisks her away...the driver the hip though and demands answers, he remembers Sarah because he also was a part of the whisking her away as a child. He takes her to the address of Kendal Malone, the parole name Terry acquired. Meanwhile....

They all fell down...
Helena is helping Gemma train for karate by teaching the valuable lesson of eyeball gouging. Helena may not be the person who should train the kids to right.....or maybe she is! Gracie gives her a disapproving scold and Helena says she doesn't do that anymore now that she's a mom she is walking a new path! Gracie gives her a doubtful look, I had the same look.
So Donny's face has seen better days. He looks rough and Allison calls wondering where he is. He lies, not sure what his plan is or how he will explain how face, but whatevs. Knock knock. Thug at the door says Jason (I really want to call him JimmySteve because of his character on Shameless) is no longer vouching for them so he came to get the pills. No pills there so he took Helena's canister she had hidden there. I instantly knew this wasn't going to go well for him, I actually thought you poor man. Side note: how the hell can you remove and vouching for?!? At this point that crimelord or whatever knows Donnie/Allison, removing Jason seems beneficial to both of them.
Helena is rocking out and making soap. Gracie is all I'm going to the Dr and says goodbye. Now Helena is side eyeing Gracie, she is probably just thinking people are weird wanting to hug all the time and crap (or maybe that's me). Donnie comes home. His face is broken. He says he hit a post. "A post of fists" Helena opines, I love her. Shel note: I loved this so very much.
She makes a healing paste she learned to make at the convent when the nuns beat her, don't let Allison know about this, she'll have Helena making it to sell at the shop! She wants the truth about his face, he tells her about Jason and the drug lord, Helena is slightly turned on he does this for his family. Shel note: Donnie tells her it's a Daddy decision for the family and that Helena is part of the family now. The look on her face was just so sweet. Helena has a family! It's what she's always wanted. He tells her he needs to give the drugs back and they took a tank.....They took my babies?!? Shel note: Donnie says I guess I don't know that story. Hahahahha Oh yeah Helena is going with him.
He tells her to stay in the car. He does know this is a CLONE of his wife right? One that may or may not be slightly more emotionally unhinged. Sure she will just wait in the car. He goes in, gives back pills, asks for the tank and a refund. They laugh at him. Helena comes in, they think she is Alison. What's wrong with your voice? ::cough cough:: I have a cold. "A really bad cold that messes with your...syntax." Says Donny (this is a brilliantly funny line that I loved!) They give the tank back, but sorry no refunds, boss owns you. They are going to be the money people, to no benefit to them. Donny is pulling Helena out, guess he was asking for a refund as a negotiation tactic and is simply happy to get the tank and ya know...be alive. Helena seems irritated, but she's leaving. Then girl thug opens her mouth, she reminds Donny they know where Gemma and Oscar go to school. Helena hands the tank to Donny and pushes him out the door and locks it. She turns around and while looks crazy mad, at the same time there is a happy sparkle in her eye, like yay I have a good reason now! "You should not threaten babies" Donny is waiting by the car, maybe this is how it should have happened at the beginning. Helena walks out, with a newly acquired machete, a bag and covered in blood. Shel note: I think it was the blade from that irritating paper cutter! That makes me wonder what the hell did she do?!? "I got refund, we should go." Now Donny looks slightly turned on. At home he is putting the money in a cooler when Allison comes home saying he wouldn't believe her day. She wonders about his face...he says they came into a lot of money.

Delphine has caused Cosima to doubt her girlfriend. She is looking through a file while Shay showers. She leaves quickly and goes to Scott and convinces herself further. She goes to Delphine and says she thinks her gf is a spy. Delphine goes to Shay and psychologically tortures her a bit. She not so vaguely threatens to kill her while running a bath. Cosima gets a call from Gracie saying how nice they all are and she is so very sorry, but the promised her and Mark could be happy. It was Gracie that sold then out!! What a cunt, after the helped her. Sisters before Misters Gracie!!! Shel note: Gracie, Helena is NOT going to like this- especially when she helped you escape the first time!!!
Cosima calls Delphine and says oops my bad not Shay. Delphine strokes her razor blade and looks super sad about not getting to murder her ex lovers new lover (you only know she doesn't because Shay is still alive in previews). I still don't trust Shay btws. I like her way better than Delphine, but I don't trust her at all. shel note: They're both crazy, Cosima knows how to pick 'me

And Castor Woke From Slumber.
Back in London...Ferdinand calls Delphine all cocky like "Guess who is here in London and not locked up like you said?" She tells him to come there and talk. He thinks he has leverage.
I forgot at the beginning of the episode you saw the crazy doctor chick doing the critical thinking tests with Rudy. He is cracking up! She assures him their best cryptographers were analyzing the book.
Back to Sarah, who goes into the address looking for Kendal, Felix plays look out. The apartment is seemingly empty, but then a woman jumps out with a knife. Sarah is all I'm just broke in to find Kendal! The woman is like, you got her. Wha?! Sarah looks as confused as me. Mrs. S. Comes in and calls the knife wielding OG Castor woman mom?!? What?????? She was in prision for killing S's boyfriend. In prison Duncan did "cancer testing" on inmates. So how the hell is this woman the OG Castor?!? Oh she absorbed her male twin in the womb! Mrs. S is all well this is awesome came to kill OG Castor and get to kill mom too...but Sarah is quick like me....if Castor+Leda are siblings and Kendal is OG Castor she is also OG Leda!!! So they need her for their cure!

Such a good episode! I have some questions though....
Will Mrs. S kill her mom? Doesn't this mean Sarah and the other clone clubettes are genetically like Mrs. S mom? If they are her clones wouldn't Mrs. S think they look like her mom looked when she was young?!? I obviously have no idea how cloning works (in theory).
Why did Jason get them kicked off the team if he is trying to get close to Allison? Seems dumb. Also I hope he is scared now. :D
I have always loved Donnie + Allison, but I am LOVING Donnie + Helena, but they are my two favorite character's so that might be why.

Shel note: next weeks episode is the finale. I'm sure there will be a cliff hanger and a death. They did green light season 4 so yeah!!!
Burning question: WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO CRYSTAL?!?
And ZOMG WITH S BEING A FEMALE RELATIVE THEY CAN HARVEST HER DNA AND SAVE COSIMA!!!!
