Orphan Black S3 E9 Recap

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!!!!

Orphan Black s3 ep8 recap.

BDelphine is getting a manicure from a blonde Leda clone. The manicurist it's telling Delphine a story about how she was with a guy named Hector and an identical twin showed up. "Twins are so creepy" this was hilarious! 

Back in Mexico we see Dr Virgina in the cafe that Helena, Sarah, and Mrs S. Were at. She asks the waitress (the same on that helped them) if she saw twins. The waitress said that she doesn't rememeber seeing sisters. Dr. V toasts the congressman. She tells him that without the original genome the few boys she has left will be dead within the year. The congressman says that he has a source inside Leda. Dr. V has a revelation that Castor and Leda are an expire meant together. She asks who's in charge. He responds to keep the boys alive we can all get what we want. 

Delphine meets with dr Neal? I can't remember his name. They discuss the new clone, Krystal. They are setting her up with a monitor. The doc mentions Rachel's mobility is getting better. Delphine says they can't keep her around forever, she's a liability. 

Cosima and Sarah are skyping. They talk about cosimas illness. Sarah mentions that she keeps thinking about Beth and finishing what she started. 

Felix brings Helena to Donnie and Allison Donnie is not thrilled with the idea of Helena staying with them; Felix tells them it's their turn and if they don't he's going to tell everyone their awash with pills and the Portuguese mob. Meanwhile Helena is with Allison's daughter and shows her the container she took from the fish house. She tells the girl that it is her babies and she hid them at Felix's to keep them safe. 

Back at shae's Cosima is getting some spiritual healing. 

Sarah is skyping with Scott. He tells her about Rachel and the book. Later he and Rachel are playing the farm game and Delphine comes in. She tells Rachel that she is improving. Rachel tells Scott that she is a threat to her. Delphine responds- how did you deal with threats? And walks out. They then pull out a computer and Skype with Sarah. Rachel says she will translate the book if Sarah gets her out of Dyad. She wants Sarah to take Krystal's identity so she can leave the country and go to Taiwain. She's translated a page of the book Scott has given her. It is a nursery rhyme. "In London Town we all fell down and Casto woke from slumber" they all argue about what to do. Sarah and Felix are off. 

Cosima is showing Shae their lab. Delphine walks in. She tells Cosima she has the results back from the European samples. Shae leaves with Scott and Delphine tells Cosima it's not good news

Over at Bubbles, Donnie is showing Helena how to make soap. Helena tells Donnie Allison has good taste in men, you have meat on your bones, strong like baby ox. He looks at Helena and stirs the pot and says maybe they need two baby ox. She cracks up and he goes to talk to Allison. He confronts her about Jason kissing her. Gracie walks in. She's working at bubbles.  Helena hides the babies under the sink in bubbles. Gracie walks in. Gracie tells her she is sorry she lost the baby. Helena tells her it is not her fault. You will be auntie to my baby yes? Gracie said she would like that and Helena hugs her and kisses her on the cheek. 

Sarah and Felix are on a mission to steal Krystal's identity. Felix goes in, acts straight and does an American accent. He flirts with her and goes gets his nails did. 

Scott goes home and puts his stuff down. He turn and Rudy is there sitting in  his chair. I actually said out loud oh F*ck Rudy asks Scott if he knows who he is. Scott says, you're castor. He asks for a special book, the island of doctor Moreau 

Felix is working his magic on Krystal. He starts feeling sorry for her, but Sarah talks him out of telling her anything. He goes in the staff room and goes through her purse. She has a notepad in there about castor; she's investigating. He takes her wallet, gives her advice and leaves. He tells Sarah he feels bloody alwful. They leave befor they make it worse. 

Delphine and Cosima are going over the research. Delphine tells Cosima in another month she'll need another stem cell treatment from Kira. Cosima doesn't want to keep harvesting her. Delphine grabs her hand- Cosima is not immune. Delphine's phone rings and its Scott. She looks at Cosima and says, what book?

Back at bubbles Jason is talking to Allison. She wants to talk about the campaign mixer and the kiss. And boom. He kisses her again, and she kisses him back! She tells him no, that she is married. She asks him to leave. He said that he know she felt something. And the reality is they are all in bed together. Ally, did you get yourself into a pickle? 

Back at Scott's Delphine is asking Scott about the book she wants to know who else knows about it because castor knew exactly what they were looking for. Scott tells her Rachel knows. 

Donnie is counting pills and Allison comes home. She tells him that her and Jason are in the same page. She goes upstairs to get some sheets for Gracie and Helena and Donnie checks her phone. 

Back at the salon Krystal is getting her wallet. She is the last to leave. She looks up and Dr Neal? Is there. 

Back at S's they talk about Scott's run in with Rudy. There's a know on the door, and it's one of Scott's game buddies. He hands Felix a package, it is a copy of the book. Cosima said if they can decode it it will hold the key. 

Delphine is questioning Rachel she thinks she tipped castor off. She tells Rachel that she should have let her die. Delphine's phone rings and it is Cosima. She goes to leave and Rachel asks if she can play the game with Scott. Delphine tells him 1 hour. He is helping her escape. He texts Cosima that they are on the move. She meets Delphine up stairs and hands her a paper. Delphine reads it, your resigning? Cosima tells her yeah effective immediately. 

Jason goes to bubbles and calls out for Allison the light turns on and it's Donnie. He tells him that Allison texted him to meet her there. Donnie says, that was me. Jason says he gets it and Donnie says no you don't because you thought my wife would meet you in the stock room. Donnie punches him, Jason asks if it's a slap and throughly slaps him and calls him a bitch. Donnie says he may be a bitch but he is Allison's bitch and you're just a drop out. Jason knocks him out and leaves him in the stockroom. 

Delphine is trying to talk Cosima out of quitting. Delphine brings up shay. Cosima tells Delphine if she's not going to switch sides the let her go. 

Rachel makes it to mrs s. Sarah tells Rachel that Krystal was a nice girl and she better make it worth it. She better translate it cover to cover. Rachel looks at the pencil and gets to work. 

Cosima tells Delphine about her near death experience. She tells Delphine that she came back for her. Delphine kisses her. Delphine pushes her away and says she's sorry you should have trusted me. 

Rachel is translating. The orginal has the number. She's writing it when dr Neal? Bust in with guns. He takes the book and tells her that Delphine knew she had a copy. Rachel says my book, my father and falls out the chair in a seizure. The doc says to call a medical team. They take Rachel back to Dyad. Neal? Hands Delphine the book, she tells Neal that she thought she could handle being moved. She said the book is no good without her she's the only one who can read it. Neal said "I'm sorry I have to take her into surgery" he walks in the same room Rachel is in. She's lying on a gurney in coincides. When the door close, she opens her eye and he looks at her and smirks. Oooooo they're in it together. Rachel has outsmarted them all. Boom!

Scott and Cosima are on the couch in Delphine's office. Cosima says they should have made 2 copies. Delphine was on to them the whole time. Neal tells Delphine that the stress was too much for Rachel and she may never recover. She tells him to get back to his patient. He looks over at Scott and Cosima and leaves. Cosima tells Delphine the reason they could not tell her was because they couldn't risk topside getting it. Delphine tells Cosima that the reason castor has it is because someone close to them tipped them off; that it would have been safer with her. Cosima asks about the copy and Delphine tells her it is safe and completely useless. She tells her that her resignation is accepted and so is Scott's. She hands Cosima a file on shay. 

Back at s's house they are pondering over the castor translation part that Rachel did. A says that London is their only lead. They need to get to the Castor orginal first. Bloody hell, are we going home?- Felix. 

A Mobile rings in Rachel's room. Dr Nealand answers (look what you learn when you turn on the closed captions) its Rachel on the other line. It's Krystal on the table! Rachel is getting a perfectly matched prosthetic eye. Another lady gets on the phone (you can only see her silhouette) and says, thank you Alan" he tells her, she's in Your hands now ma'am. 

So who was the mystery woman? Is it helenas mom who's not dead either? Is it the boss lady from topside? And next week- what did Helena do?!?!?

Orphan Black. S3 ep7 recap

We open in a bar in Mexico. Helena is winning at gambling. Helena tells Sarah that Paul was a good man I. The end, but Sarah doesn't want to talk about it. They are waiting for Benjamin, who is never late. Sarah tells Helena that S's people are the one bringing papers so she should be thankful. Helena says she will kill S for betraying her. The waitress hands Sarah a beer and Helena a water. She tells Helena, you're pregnant. Helena looks at Sarah, "you tell her I have baby?" The door opens and S walks in.

S tells Helena that she had to give her up in order to get Sarah and Kira out of Dyad. S says they need to talk it out; it is the only way. Helena tells her that talking it out for her is (hilarious gesture of knife across throat) the waitress gives Helena food, but takes the knife and fork away, leaving her with a spoon. Helena says first I eat then we fight.  The waitress tells Sarah that it's best to leave them alone to work it out. She gives her a towel and tells her to use her shower. 

Allison is working on her speech for the election. They monitor her vitals and head on to bubbles. Her mom looks over the paperwork and Allison and Donnie head to the muxer. On the way out Allison notices her mom has a Vote For Marci poster up. They leave. 

Cosima and her new girlfriend are in bed. They are at her gf's place.  There is a knock on the door and its Delphine. This isn't crazy at all! Cosima asks what she is doing here and asks if she is stalking her. Meanwhile Shae goes in the bathroom and turns the shower on, and stands at the door to listen.  Delphine tells Cosima that she's been checking the samples of the proteins. Her numbers are worrying. Delphine wants another urine sample and hands her a cup. Cosima tells her not to come here again. Cosima then calls Scott and asks him to cover for her. He tells her that they need the urinalysis. She tells him not to show Delphine the book. 

Allison and Donnie are meeting Jason. He asks if she got the store and she said not yet. Donnie struts his stuff and kisses Allison in front of Jason. I like this jealous assertive Donnie! Hilarious! Allison goes in to the candidate mixer. She meets Felix who has a pink booth set up for her. She gets a text from Cosima and says that Cosima needs her pee. She texts her back and tells her she can come and get it. Marci comes by the booth and tells her that her booth looks like she is selling bubble gum. Felix introduced himself, and Marci could barely stand to shake his hand. Said that Felix was an interesting choice considering how conservative they are. Allison asks if that was an intolerant remark. Marci says your mother is very conservative, and she is supporting me. Marci smiles and walks away.  Felix looks at Allison and says, "we are going to dismayed that bitch " Allison's phone rings and its her mother. She says her heart is exploding. Allison says she will be right there. Donnie is with Jason and he is telling him about the supplier. At one point Jason says he should have brought Allison. Donnie tells him that he has made his presence clear. Jason asks if there is a problem and Donnie says not unless you come between me and my family. Jason says, consider your territory pissed on. The do some man hand clasp thing and go inside. I'd like to point out that both Allison and Donnie have identical mania folders with paper clips on them. Until now I didn't mention it because I didn't catch it. My money is that Allison and Donnie have switched by mistake.  Donnie meets the dude and he doesn't speak to him. In walks this sexy lady. They speak Italian? Idk and Donnie hands her the envelope and she puts drugs on the table. Oh yep. The envelope had school buttons. The boss man won't let Donnie leave so he gives Jason the envelope to switch out will Allison. 

Back at the Mexican bar, S tells Helena that she is so sorry. Helena says now we fight. S tells her she's not going to fight her because she is pregnant. Helena asks why is everyone so concerned about her baby. S asks her how is she going to raise the baby, and Helena says she will find her boyfriend Jesse remember that dude from the bar? Ha! And together they will raise it. S says that he sounds like an honest man. Helena gets up and tells her to go outside. S says no. Helena hits S and tells her to hit her. S tells her she can't have Sarah without the rest of her family. Helena hits her again. S tells her, join us helena, you're kin. Helena hits her again and S hits her back. S says "shit Helena I hit you" and grabs her. Helena struggles and S holds her close and says please forgive me for what I did, I'm so sorry. Helena stops struggling. S tells her it's ok, you're with family now. 

Allison's mom is leaning on a wall. Allison walks in. She says it was terrifying she was dizzy and light headed. Allison gets her some water and tells her mom she has to go back. Her mom tells her she can't sell her the store. Felix is holding down the fort at the mixer and trying to stall the photo op. He texts Allison. Allison's mom is telling her she can't sell the store. She calls Donnie Mr. Chubbs. "That's his name isn't it, Donald Francis Chubbs. I lost all respect for that man when he took your name. ". Allison tells her that he did because her mom insisted. Allison tells her mom not to make this about Donnie that no one is ever good enough. She leaves and tears down Marcis poster. "I'm recycling this!"  Cosima shows up at the mixer at the back door. Oh no! She's mistaken for Allison. Luckily Felix intercepts. She says she needs her pee because she doesn't trust Delphine. Felix is telling her to put on an Allison shirt and hide her dreds. She says she's not posing as Allison. Felix says if she wants the piss she better play along. He makes her bangs. Hahahahah

Scott's playing D&D with tot her lab nerds. Delphine walks in and says she needs the lab. It is Rachel's turn for processing. Rachel says "hello Scott" he shows her the Dr Moreau book. She looks at Scott. She points to the board game and says "teach. I'm so bored" Delphine asks if he wants to, and he says yeah. Rachel looks at him. 

Cosima/Allison is posing for pictures. They're all gonna be squinty because girlfriend can't see shit. Allison walks in and tried to hide, then Jason catches up with her and says Donnie switched the envelopes. The money is on a counter with someone else. She asks if Donnie is in danger. Jason says, "short answer, yeah". She says that she's going to switch the envelopes and for him to wait outside. She texts Felix that she needs him 911 downstairs. Then Allison's mother walks in. Allison's mom tells her she needs to tell her something very inportant and it cannot wait. She tells her that her father wasn't good enough so she asked the fertility clinic for an upgrade. Now Allison knows she's a clone right? So did she think her parents were her parents??? Allison tells her mom she needs to wait there and she walks off. She tells Jason to entertain her mom. Felix tells Cosima to hide in the loo. 

Scott is teaching Rachel to play the game.  She tells him not seriously. He tells her oh yes. This is how we do it. If anyone comes in we're farm building. I thought it was D&D. Apparently it is much dorkier than that; it's like FarmVille tabletop! 

Felix finds Allison's and tells her Cosima is in the loo. She tells Felix that they acvidently have Sarah Stubbs an envelope with 30,000$ in it. He asks what is going on. He says he quits. She says that they're drug dealers and that Donnie is being held captive by some guy named Pouchy. Felix says, like Pouchy the crime lord that cut off Vicks finger? Allison says, maybe? Felix says, there are not two Poucys, darling. I love his sass!

Meanwhile back at Pouchy's Chinese Restraunt aka drug front totally aside, there was a Chinese Restraunt drug front in this area. I guess it's a real thing. Donnie is talking and not shutting up. They put him next to a paper cutter. She tells him she's going herself, and if they don't get the money in 30 min he's losing his nose. 

Felix is distracting Sarah Stubbs. Allison switched the envelope. Marci comes up and asks if she was slipping some in. Allison says no, then Marci asks how she is at speeches. She hears that Allison choked at her valedictorian speech, and she walks off. Allison says I had the flu. 

Jason is walking with her mom, and he asks her about Bubbles. She said the offer wasn't up to snuff with Mr. Chubbs on the line. Jason asks her about Donnie, and charms her. Donnie calls Allison and tells her to get to the parking lot, and meet the niece. Oh no it's time to start the speeches. Allison goes to the parking lot and hands her the money. She tells her to get in the car now. Allison gets in. 

Felix sees Marci giving the speech add gets Cosima. In the car the niece is counting the money. Allison says she doesn't have time for her to count all the way to 30,  the girl looks at her and starts over. 

Cosima/Allison walks in. She gets up to make a speech. 

Donnie is let go. He talks them and asks to use the bathroom. 

Cosima/Allison is making the most hilarious speech about kids not coloring in the lines and being a lesbian.... Supporter. Cosima coughs and excuses herself to get water and Allison takes her place. Cosima goes to the bathroom and Jason mistakes her for Allison and kisses her. 

Sarah sees S all beat up she says that she's going to be a granny to her baby. Sarah tells her Paul is gone. She says that she has dreams about Beth. S tells her Gracie is living with her. 

Allison gives a great speech and gets a standing ovation. Back in the bathroom Cosima tells Allison Jason kissed her. Allison won't pee. She wants to know more about the protein. Her mom walks in and tells her she made a great speech. She gives her bubbles and then gives her a pep talk about leaving Donnie. Allison then introduces her to Cosima and tell her mom that Cosima is her clone. She tells her that she was implanted with a clone. Her mom is truly deluded and says that Cosima is clearly mullato and must be her half sister. Allison walks out. 

Shea and Cosima are talking and Cosima is in the bath. and she tells her that she has a serious health issue. She starts bleeding suddenly in the tub. 

Rachel and Scott are decoding the the book. Scott asks her what it says, Rachel says she will only tell Sarah. 

That's it for this week! The clones are all together again! I hope Cosima gets better and allows herself to get help. A blonde clone next week, whose the newbie!!!! 

Orphan Black S3 Ep 6 RECAP

Why hasn't she received an Emmy yet? GIVE THEM TO HER!  GIVE HER ALL THE THINGS!

Sarah is sleeping. Her cell door opens; she hesitates, but leaves. She's outside and the place is deserted. Hearing laughter she follows, it's Kira. Kira goes into a pillow fort, and in it, she sees herself on the table, receiving a blood transfusion from Creepy Scar clone, Rudy. He looks at her, while he licks the Sarah on the table's hand. EWWWWW Sarah wake up from the nightmare and pukes. That too is my reaction to that bit of nasty. She lays back down and feels a bandage. Dream not really a dream but a subconscious memory?

Paul is meeting with a G-man.  He hands him the rape diary. Paul says its unauthorized research on American Civilians.  The G-man instructs him to find more evidence on Dr. Virginia, to find out what she is up to.

Kira is Skyping with Ms. S and Felix. She asks if her mommy is mad at her, and they tell her no, of course not. They sign off. Ms. S tells Felix that they will find Sarah. She says that they have tracked down Castor's HQ. It's in Mexico-maybe. Sarah has been missing for 5 days. Gracie brings them tea. S tells her that she doesn't need to serve them. Gracie says that it gives her something to do. S says that Cosima is working on Gracie's illness, and that they need to keep living,

Cosima is in bed obviously naked. She is awakened by her phone ringing and oh la la, is that her sapphire date in matching bra and panties? To say the date went well, is an understatement.  Get it Girl! She made her a juice with licorice root to help her with that cough she has. oh is she not as well as she seems? Date girl asks her about Sarah.  Cosima asks her how does she know that name, and date responds, you were dreaming and you said it. IDK is date girl a plant? Trust no one C! You may have to just smash and go. She says Sarah is a friend, like her sister.

OMG  Allison and Donnie are dancing in their skivvies and are making it rain in their bedroom and tweerking. bwa ha ha ha. Please gif this. PLEASE.  I NEED THIS. They are interrupted by the girl child. Donnie sends her on the way, and Allison mentions she has to meet Jason today. He says he wants to be in on it, and she tells him they were high school sweet hearts and nothing else. She asks if he is jealous, and of course he is.  She asks him if his underwear are breakaways, and he says, no, but the elastic is wearing out. OMG this is fabulous. She gives him a kiss and turns away with eyes full of promise for later.

Scott is waiting for Cosima, he is mad. He says he tried to call her all morning. She opens the door, and he tells her to wait. Too late, the door opens, and Delphine is there. She says she came as soon as she heard Sarah was missing.  C says, 5 days too late.  D says, well that's on you, were you going to tell us she was missing? C asks, who's us?  D says Topside. She wants to know how they got their hands on a Castor brain.  Scott asks, how do you know that. D says, because you ran the tissue through this lab and Dr. Neeland is not an idiot.  D asks why is she studying the fish girl, Gracie. Cosima doesn't answer.  Delphine asks, how she missed this, and shows them the screen.  The same protein in the Castor brain is in Gracie.  They studied them separately, had not reason to compare.

Back at Castor HQ.  Paul walks in and sees Sarah missing.  She's in the infirmary sick sick.   Paul asks if she is hurt.  She tells him, they did something to her.  She begs him to get her out of here.  Dr. Virginia walks in.  Paul tells her that she is unwell. Dr. V says that she gave her an anti inflammatory last night and is having a reaction. Sarah calls bull shit and says that she did something to her and Rudy was there. Dr. V says Sarah is feverish. She then asks Paul how was Arlington.  He tells her riveting. She smiles. Sarah asks about Helena. Dr. V says she won't last out there, if the desert doesn't get her, Rudy will. I am beginning to hate this old Dr V.  

Desert an Helena. She's running.  A Jeep with Rudy in it is looking for her.  She falls down.  Here comes Pupok. Read that means bellybutton in Ukraine.  How cute! She tells her to get up.  She says it is not exhaustion but regret. She says she is not tired, but hungry and eats Pupok.  WOW. Just WOW

Castor base.  Paul sits by Dr. Silver. Paul asks him what happened to Sarah last night. Dr. says he needs to ask Dr. Coady (Dr. Virginia). Paul says since when does she leave him out of the medicine, and Dr. S says, she's the boss. He tells Paul that he was gone for months and things changed.  Paul asks how, that they were trying to cure soldiers. Rudy came back with a girl, blood shot eyes.  Dr. Coady treated her on base, but after that, the science took a turn. Things got more secretive. The boys were told to keep a record and samples, to look for precursors. He sets up a baseline, but another team follows up, he doesn't have the access.  He tells Paul she keeps that information in her quarters.

Delphine and Cosima are waiting for the elevator.  Delphine says, I understand you have been missing work, coming in late. Are you not feeling well? Cosima says she feels great and there is nothing she should know.  The elevator opens and Felix sashays out.  Gracie is there.  Cosima takes her to the lab and wants to run more tests.  Felix stops Scott from following and tells the ladies he is going to give them some privacy.  He asks Scott to take him to see Rachel.  Scott says he is not authorized, that is is not even supposed to know that she is here. Felix says, but you do.  My sister is missing. Rachel would know anything about Castor. He says he is really really desperate.  "Nut up, and lead me to the cyclops." BWA HA HA HA  I love your sass!

Marc is walking and Paul stops to talk to him. Paul tells him good work on bringing in the Castor DNA.  Marc says he had help. Paul says, you brought Sarah Manning in. Marc tells him he was with Rudy. It was either take her with them or terminate. Marc says he fell in love with the  Johansson girl.  Paul asks him to do something for him, unofficially. I think Marc, out of all the Castors, has a heart. 

Allison has given Jason a card.  She has paid him back in full.  He says it's the "Continued Prosperity" part that has him concerned. He tells her she can walk away. She says she wants to take this to the next level.  All of a sudden a Subaru pulls up. Jason gets a bat, ready to fight.  It's Donnie. He is an idiot sometimes. She asks who's car is this? He says, ours, I paid cash.  Allison closes her eyes in exasperation. Jason tells them he doesn't think they are ready for the next level. Donnie asks why, and Allison tells him that conspicuous spending is a surefire way to attract the attention of the authorities. Donnie says Cars aren't conspicuous, they are everywhere.  Jason says there is only one surefire way to launder money, and that is to pay taxes on it.  He says that they need a front, and that her garage made soap isn't gonna cut it.  Allison says she has a plan.

Paul is looking at the solders at the Castor base. Marc walks up. Hands him keys and tells him that they have 5 minutes.  He opens a door and goes in.

Gracie is asking about the protein. It is in her blood.  Cosima says that it is similar to what they found in Marc's brothers.  Gracie says, she knows what Marc is.  Cosima says that then you know what is in Marc's brothers is in Marc too.  We think that's how it got transferred to you. CASTOR STD WRAP YOUR WILLIES!

Paul is looking through files.  He's reading things such as rapid deterioration, ovaries atrophied,  Marc walks in. He looks through the files, and he says what does this mean?  Tell me.  There is a file on Gracie.

Cosima tells Gracie that the protein can affect different people in different ways. She calls Delphine.

Paul tells Marc that the defect is contagious and it is sexually transmitted. So the woman will catch it.  Paul loads his gun.

Sarah is sick. Her fever is 103. Dr. Silver is attending her with Dr. Coady. Paul walks in and says she is placing her under arrest.  She asks on what grounds.  He says you are sterilizing women.  He says that she is unfit to lead, he is taking charge.  Castor goon is sliding his hand down, ready to draw his gun.  Paul turns his gun toward him; has him put in the stockade.  Dr. Coady puts her finger to her lips and tells Castor Goon to shhh. Sarah is hallucinating a little girl. Dr. Coady tells him that Sarah received 2 units of Rudy's blood. The little girl tells Sarah to come with her.  She says she cant' get up,. The little girl says just hold her hand. Dr. Silver receives a gun from Paul. He tells him not to let anyone near her. . The little girl leads her to a tunnel.  (Its a younger sister clone). The little girl tales her to a cave with a hole. She sees movies of Beth.  Then she sees Beth making tea. She says she is thinking of the day Paul moved in. Says he only had 2 suitcases to his name, should have been a red flag.  She said that she was so gaga for him,convinced herself he was some kind of Zen master. Materially unattached. She said that Sarah and Paul were a good match, liars, drifters. Beth takes pills. Sarah tells her she didn't know her when she took her life, but she misses her.  Beth tells her she doesn't get to miss her.  Sarah tells her that she's trying to finish what she started. She's trying to help the sisters, but she keeps failing. Helena has left her, Cosima is still sick, and I let you jump. Beth said I jumped. I let myself be consumed by this thing.  I killed myself because I couldn't understand it.  Sarah says, Neither do I.  I started too, but I don't understand the why.  Beth asks why did you take over my life? Sarah says, for Kira.  Beth tells her to stop asking why, and to start asking who.. sister.  Beth disappears. and Sarah wakes up. She asks Dr. Silver, "Where's Paul"

Paul is on the phone, he is holding the baby Johanssen castor DNA sample. He is on the phone with the G-man. Says he has records going back 2 years some sort of human trial. G-man says bag it. He asks where Dr. Coady is.  Paul says camp is on lock down the only ones out are the ones he trusts. G-man is sending an extraction team. Tells him to keep them contained for 6 hours, and to leave Rudy out in the desert.

Rachel is painting. Scott comes in with Felix. He asks what she knows about Castor. She says, rumors.  He says that they have taken Sarah. She smiles.  He asks if it is funny to her. He then paints an eye on her patch and tells her, now you look pretty.  She says she's not going to help him if he humiliates her. He says he hasn't even gotten started. She tells Scott to get Dr. Neeland.  Felix tells her no one is coming because no one cares.  He grabs her and yells, tell me where my sister is! she says, get me out of this place. He leaves,  and she cries.  This was truly heartbreaking.  You can see the desperation in both of them. Scott looks at one of her paintings- it has strange symbols on it.

Allison and Donnie are looking at a shop, Bubbles. Donnie asks if she is sure about this, that she hates Bubbles.  She says that she hates the way her mother runs it, but when its theirs they can do it differently. He says, as a drug front. She says yes,.  Jason drives up and the go into the store. Apparently, its a bath soap store. And now we know how Allison got her soap making mad skillz.
Selling soap, Jason deems it perfect.

Meanwhile back at the lab, Gracie says, I was supposed to have children, it was expected of me.  Cosima says that she has been through a lot, she doesn't have to process it all now. Gracie says that part of her is relieved, does that make her a monster?  Cosima, says, no honey, so far from that. Felix goes to take her home.  Delphine tells Cosima that she misses her.  Cosima leaves.

Rudy is in the jeep. He is on the phone. When?  Says he is on it.  Tells the driver that there is a situation on base and he is needed.

Delphine is watching a video of Cosima on her date. Stalker much? She's looking at photos of the date and Cosima and drinking. Man, this is taking FB stalking to the next level. Also, you dumped her, Delphine, you don't get to feel bad. 

Date is washing the dishes, and Cosima knocks on the door. Cosima tells her that maybe they should slow things down. But now that she sees her, she just wants to make out. Her phone rings. It's Scott. He said that he thinks Rachel knows the code for Duncan's book.

Sarah is up. She says, human sterilization trials. Paul says that she hasn't shown any of the same symptoms as the other women.  Sarah asks him if he loved Beth.  He says, What happened to Beth, he will carry that with him forever. They were looking for a cure, and they thought Dyad had answers.  She says she wants to talk to Coady.  Paul brings her to Dr. Coady, she is looking at a picture of 4 little boys.  Sarah asks why did she give her Rudy's blood? Coady looks at her and says, Temperatures down, no hemorrhaging, remarkable.  Sarah says, you knew I beat it, how?  She says because Castor and Leda have the same disorder. It attacks the boys brains, and the women's epithelial tissue. As her fertility proves, she is somehow able to fight it off.  Sarah tells her she is infecting innocent women with it. "To understand it!", Dr. Coady says, she didn't put it in the boys, she just found it. Sarah says, so it was engineered.  Who engineered it, was it Duncan? Paul says, it's a weapon. You're field testing it. Dr. Coady says, it could end war. In a single generation, without spilling a drop of blood.  Sarah says, so who wants it? Who is it for?

Rudys' co-rider brings the Jeep in. The guard asks where Rudy is.  He says that he took off on foot, that he lost contact. It's a trap! He asks what's going on. The guard tells him that the camp is on lock down, and he is confined to quarters. They are taking him away, and Rudy is lowering himself from the bottom of the Jeep. He goes in and cut's a gaurds throat. and lets out another Castor. Sarah and Paul are leaving the Dr.'s quarters.  She tells him that they need to go, he tells her that help is coming. She asks if he is still trying to save them. He tells her that none of this is their fault.  "Major" is whispered from the background. It's Marc, hiding in the shadows.  He tells him that patrol came back without Rudy. He checked the Sat phone, and they got a call from Arlington. Paul grabs his phone and calls the G-man. He asks what the status was, and Paul says that depends on you. G-man says that the extraction team is on route. Paul tells him that Rudy's patrol is still out, and they can't reach their sat phone. G-man hesitates and says, well, good, that's what we want. He asks if there is a problem. Paul says, no sir, we'll be waiting.  He hangs up and tells Sarah, that they have to go. He tells Marc, Go back to your quarters, you never spoke to me, do you understand.  Marc tells him, sir, make this right. Paul and Sarah walk off.  They see a Castor.  Paul dispatches him, but he has been stabbed. Sarah helps him up.  She helps him walk. They come through a little tunnel.  He opens the door and tells her to go through.  He closes it behind her and locks it.   Tells her that the tunnel leads to the garage, and to take a jeep, go northwest.  She tells him that she's not leaving with out him, but he walks off. He turns around and tells her, it was never Beth I loved. He then leaves.  She sits and thinks about the movies of him and Beth.  Dr. Coady and Rudy are walking.  They go to the infirmry, and Paul is there, bleeding. Rudy cocks a gun and points.  Paul asks the Dr. "Does he know what he's done to those women?" Rudy says, "I know exactly what I do, Sir." Dr. tells him Rudy, and he looks at her an puts the gun down. She says my devotion to my boys was pure, Paul. He tells her to cure them and drop the rest.  Sarah is still sitting by where Paul left her. She moves. Dr. Coady tells Paul that the science in this room can rewrite the very nature of mankind. Paul cries. Dr. Coady continues, you ask me to turn my back on it?  She shoots Paul. Flashbacks of beth. Sarah is walking through the tunnel.  Dr. Coady tells Paul, "I'm sorry, Paul, I can't" He, somehow still alive, looks at her and drops his towel. In it is a grenade.  Rudy and the Dr. run. Sarah is still in the tunnel. She hears an explaion and is knocked down. She sees Kira, and Beth, and then... there's Helena. Sarah says, You came back. Helena says, come Sister, people miss us.  She helps her up.

Rachel is painting and looking at a picture of her dad, she is crying.


I was crying at the end of the episode. Rachel's pain is so palpable. So, apparently Paul is dead, having sacrificed himself for Sarah. The government is in on this Castor bio weapon to sterilize women. So what? a bio-engineered STD? How is that going to work? My GOD please practice safe sex! Shit just got weird.  Good episode! Very emotional. Glad the twins are back.

She sticks her finger in his leg and can wiggle the bullet. He wants her to get the bullet with pliers. He says they had Intel that johanssen had the samples, but they couldn't find anything. Sarah is able to get the bullet out. This was so gross. I could barely watch. Gross gross gross.

He says their drugs ahem"relaxation materials" belong to his boss and that it was not Ramon's to sell. Apparently Ramon worked on consignment.

(Full disclosed I had to watch this multiple times to figure out what the hell was happening) she turns around and its soilder boy again.  The are getting it on. The. Moustache man joins in. (Oh look. He has a name. It's Seth)  She of course is like- wait, this isn't what I signed up for. Soilder boy "we're brothers. Taught to share".  (Ewwww)

Cal, Kira, and Sarah are walking. Cal shows them something, he had bought a house. Awww has art stuff for Kira. 

Gross castor clone spits water at other castor clone. Who is at the door? It's Paul. Soilder cone tells Paul he met Sarah Manning. Paul- inside? Clone- strolled in like the queen of Manchester making demands. Does that seem right to you? Her and Dyad working together?

Paul tells the clone to sit down that he's forst. Next thing you know he's hooked up to the computer and Paul's asking logic questions.  Now it's the other clones turn. Moustache clone had a hard time with the questions. Paul hands them their extraction orders. 

Scott shows up Felix's apartment. He's here to check on Cosima. Says that Dr. Neal wants a meeting with her this afternoon. Fe hands her a new clone phone. It's blue. 

Soccer time! Allison looks over at the campaign woman. Allison know she can beat her.  "Have you seen the playgrounds? There's no rubber mulch, just gravel. It's like the seventies!" (Hahahahaha) Donnie says they can't afford a campaign right now. Says they might have to sell the house.  Ramon shows up. He's selling pills at the soccer tourney. He says he's going to college. Donnie asks who it is, and she says "that is an opportunity" (wonder what she's gonna do here? Make Donnie run drugs? Bad idea.)

Happy family time! Sarah, Kira, and cal are all playing hockey in the house. (Is this a thing?) clone phone rings. It's Art. He's back on the job.  Says a woman came in to complain and he took the case. Says they both look like fish Clone (his name is Mark.  2 names!)  

Cal come up to Sarah and she tells him that the castor clone in Mariam's basement is gone. Escaped or released. 

Cal wants her to stay. She wants to find Helena.  Smootchie time.  Go save your sister. 

Helena is being strapped to a bed. And water boarded. They swan her and take her blood.  They were going do it again, a woman comes in and says stop the stress test.  Dude says, we have 2 more cycles. Lady- she's pregnant. Introduces herself as Dr Virginia Cody. 

Fe is making tea for Ms S. She's looking at pics. Fe tells her chin up Sarah will come around. Hands her a Clone Phone.  He says she doesn't get to sit it out. None of them do. 

Dyad. Cosima and Scott are spinning in chairs. In comes Dr. Neal. Says her results looks good. She asks when he was going to tell them about the castor dude who escaped. He said it was the first item of business. Scott asks about the original genome. Dr. Says thanks to the Duncan's it's lost. Says they falsified the records and kept the donors for both Castor and Leda secret. When it died it died with them.

Art is walking with the hook up girl. Says if they find them they'll charge them. Sarah shows up. Says she's Beth Childs and wants to ask follow up questions.  Hook up girl says Rudy (name!) got mad for Seth. Said she thought he was going kill her. They took her ID wrote her info down, and took her hair. Seth and Rudy have the same tattoo on the left forearm- two headed horse. 

Allison and Donnie are waiting for Ramon. They would like to buy his business. 

Seth is waiting for a car, being crazy punching a car. He gets a call. It's Rudy, says he's not going back to base; he knows Seth is glitching. (Is he a robot? Is this Wreck It Ralph?) Rudy is breaking in to fe's apartment! Says they are going to finish the job. 

Sarah and Cosima is on the phone. Talking about the tattoos. Cosima tells Sarah to go to Ms. S. Says she's the best lead.  

Helena is hooked up to the machine getting local questions. The talking scorpion distracts Helena. The male dr is not pleased. There is a castor there. Helena says, I met your brother. He was ugly. He gets mad and Dr V walks in. She takes her for a walk. They are in a compound with shoulders everywhere. She gives her food. Dr. V says Sarah sold her out.  

Rudy is in fe's apartment snooping. Totally is by Dr Duncan's book. He's looking at the painting of Sarah. 

Knock on the door at Ms. S house. It's Sarah. Fe tells her to go easy on her. She wants to get in touch with Paul. He's gone dark. S. Tells her that she needs to take Kira and go. Says she doesn't know anything about Castor. Says you don't fight in these conditions. 

Allison and Donnie are meeting with Ramon. Allison bargains while Donnie freaks. She says they are going to take it out of the retirement, and that she just found her voter base. They will be very loyal don't you think? (She's brilliant!)

Cal is unpacking. He hears something. He goes out to investigate. It's Paul with a gun. Tells him to turn around and put his hands on his head. Asks why Sarah was at the basement yesterday. Cal says to ask her. Cal says you infiltrated Dyad did you find what you were looking for? No that's why the tactics changed. Helena deal, Castor boys. Paul says Cal had a reputation since he designed weapons. Says he got rich, then he got out.  Does Sarah kno that? He'd keep that a secret too.  Cal asks about Helena. The deal that was cut was to buy Sarah time and space, why isn't she taking it. If she doesn't it is going to end badly.  Says cal needs to get her out before it ends badly. 

Kira and Sarah are at Fe's. Kira asks if she is going to live with cal. She says maybe. Would Kira like that? She puts her clone phone down and gets Kira's bath ready. Phone is ringing. Cal is trying out to call. Kira's in the fort. She moves the curtain aside and Rudy is there. (I jumped!) creepy as scar clone has his eyes Xed like the painting of Sarah. Sarah  goes to get Kira. She sees Rudy holding Sarah. Rudy asks about tissue samples. Cal shows up. He tried to go upstairs but Seth stops him.  Cal punches him (hell yes!) but he pulls a knife. Rudy says he can't leave empty handed, people are counting on him. Sarah- you mean Seth? He pauses. Seth has a knife pouted at Cal. Rudy asks Sarah how she knows about Seth? Seth is glitching. Sarah asks  Rudy if this is about his brother. Seth is glitching so bad he passes smooth out and Cal just looks on. Seth is screaming, Rudy lets Kira go and comes down to see. He sees Cal.  Rudy shoots Seth.  And watches as he dies. Still pointing the gun at cal he leaves. 

Cal, Kira, Sarah are all at Ms S.  Kira is going on an adventure with Cal. Sarah is sending her off to keep her safe. They're going out of the country. Sarah is going to find Mark. 

Fish girl in bed. They're in a hotel room. She goes to the closed bathroom door. Mark is in there. Says he's almost done and tells her to go to bed. She goes back to bed. Mark rolls up a towel, puts it in his mouth and holds up a small torch (like the one you use in the kitchen to make crime brûlée) up to his arm. His left arm, where there is a horse tattoo. Burn. 

Wow. That was intense. Cant wait for next episode!!!

Orphan Black s3 ep1 recap

This whole article is a spoiler alert. If you are not watching Orphan Black on BBCA then you are totally missing out. Go watch it now. Go now!

Ok. So the episode opens up with a 1950's-esque baby shower for Helena. She's sitting in a chair and Sarah is there, calling her meat head. Allison has made the cupcakes, and Felix is grilling, wearing a sweater a la Freddy from Scooby Doo. Kira is there, and Cosima shows up wearing a traditional Ukraine outfit. Everything seems perfect till a scorpion comes out from underneath Helena's ginormous belly. She wakes up- it was a dream! And now she's in a box. She moves to see out of the holes. The scorpion is there, and it talks to her, and sounds like Cosima.  Is this her subconscious? Or is she just crazy? Or both?

Next we see a very gross pencil being removed from Rachel's eye. Gross gross gross 

Beach scene, (lake?) Felix and Sarah are enjoying the outside with Kira and Delphine is there. She's showing Sarah the project Castor. Sarah says it's not her problem. Delphine shows her footage of an unknown sister clone and the Creepy boy clone making out in the elevator.  Creepy boy clone was captured and will only talk to Sarah of course. These boy clones are all mental. Give them all the Emmys! Basically creepy the clone says to only trust the sisters. Sarah uses the clone phones to check in.  Allison is at soccer practice with her children, Cosima is living with Felix and watching Kira. Delphine tells Sarah that there is a man coming, and he's A CLEANER. She tells Sarah she has to play her part and be Rachel. That the cleaner cannot know what they did to her.  Sarah pulls a screw you guys I'm going home. 

Allison is loading the soccer kids onto the soccer star bus. She is approached by a woman (Marci). She's a school trustee and is running for reelection. She tells Allison that she is inspired by her recovery and maybe for some campaigning she would provide the monthly potluck. Is this what people do? Seriously? Is this a thing? Allison asked if Marci plans on redrawing the district lines and says that would mean her kids would have to change schools. So instead of supporting her she is thinking about running against her. Donnie shows up carrying a box of obvious work stuff. He says he finally Susan what he thought of her. Her proudly says "I called her a bitch! To her FACE!" And they took his work car so he gets on the school bus with all the kids. Marci is watching the whole exchange. Looks like we can expect some small town political tension this season!!

Mrs. S arrives home carrying a bag of groceries. She notices something is amiss. She grabs a kitchen knife and out of the closet busts hoody the clone. And he has a creepy porn 'stache. All he needs is a windowless van and he'd be pedobear approved. He asks Mrs. S if she knows his face. She said she has never had the pleasure. That's not what he asks and he hits her. He reveals that he's a Castor and asks about prof Duncan.  He has a weird twitch and asks about his research. S says she thinks it's at the institute. 

We find out that Rachel completely lost the eye, and there may be frontal lobe damage. Delphine tells him Ferdinand the cleaner is coming asks the doctor if she can count on his support. He mentions that this happened before - Helsinki. She said Marian briefed her. 

Sarah and Felix find Mrs. S on the floor. She tells Sarah that she made a war time decision and gave the castors Helena. Sarah storms out. 

Kira and Cosima are playing and Cosima talks to Kira. Said she was having a dream and could see her body and came back to Kira. She asked if Kira felt it. Kira said I don't know then very grown up says "you had to come back so Delphine could make you better with my stem cells" that's not creepy at all, clone kid. There's a knock on the door, it's Delphine. Cosima is happy to see her, but knows something is wrong. Delphine says she is looking for Sarah. She says she is the new Rachel. She says she can't be with Cosima anymore. Cosima, hurt. Delphine says Cosima part is to cute her and her sisters.  Kira inside holds the tank that Helena stole from the fish people. Pretty sure it has embryos in there. Babies for everyone! Are they Helena's eggs? Does she have eggs? Are they fertilized by creepy fish dad? 

Allison and Donnie are working on finances. She says she wants to run for trustee. Clone phone rings- it's Delphine

Sarah and Felix are back at the shore. She's worried about Helena. Delphine calls. 

Delphine, Sarah and Felix are working on making Sarah Rachel ready for the Ferdinand inquisition. In exchange Delphine will help her with recovering Helena. 

Scott is taking Cosima's blood pressure. It's good. Why can't I have her blood pressure?!?  He says he doesn't want to work on super secret shit any more. Cosima shows him Prof. Duncan's super secret code book. Tells him that until they decipher it then no one will know about it- not even the sisters. I hope he's not secretly on the enemy side. 

Sarah is Rachel ready and they meet Ferdinand. She tries to make a quick get away but he says they need them both. Rhu rho! Says that Paul was a castor mole. Questions her choice of monitor. Sarah/Rachel says she submitted to dr leaked choice. Says that castor stole Helena. (Delphine looks at her like wtf are you telling him this for) he's like is this true? Says he needs to see Sarah which they are holding. In the elevator he is looking at Sarah/Rachel intently.  Delphine watches. The go to the cell, to see "Sarah". It's Allison as Sarah. All the awards. Just hand them to her now. He asks her if she has ever met a male clone.  He feels her up and asks her about her surgery. Allison freaks out and starts to break character. Sarah/Rachel slaps her and tells her to shut up. Perfect recovery way to go Sarah! Delphine said her surgery was proposed said you cannot remove the ovary of a woman who is ovulating. Said Sarah is contained and no risk to Topside. Sarah/rachel says that Helena is a priority and what are they going to do about it. He mentions Helsinki.  Ferdinand wants see  Sarah/Rachel tonight. She said she will look forward to it. 

Naked Creepy Clone doing a pull up. Hellur butt shot! Goes and sits on the bed naked to meditate.  Guards call him a naked Buddha. One leaves to do the rounds. Do you think they have telepathic ability? I mean he's meditating, Porn 'stache had that funny twitch? 

Clones three way calls. Reassurances. Ferdinand shows up to Sarah/Rachel's. 

Delphine is at Rachel's side and asks a series of questions Rachel tries to talk. Delphine pushes on her eye socket. Gross gross gross cringe cringe cringe. Delphine wants to know what she is planning with Ferdinand. Rachel mentions Helsinki. More gross eye torture. 

Sarah/Rachel and Ferdinand. F asks if she slept with Paul. Says he thinks Paul was her bitch. You can see the lightbulb go off. Seriously the awards. Shoe to the crotch. Ferdinand is digging this. Helena is the cock block. F, frustrated, ha! Says that Helena has nothing to do with this that Rachel wanted Helsinki and that Marian was too soft. The sisters are too much of a risk and will expose Topside. Says the Helsinki girls were eradicated in 24 hours. Once they have Sarah's overies then put her down. Cosima will be induced tomorrow. Allison's end is on the way. They will be ended by house fire.  Cut to shady man outside Allison's house. Sarah/Rachel excused herself. Says she needs a moment and goes to the loo to call Allison. Allison's working out and doesn't answer. Sarah/rachel leaves a message. Ferdinand comes in the bathroom and asks who she is talking too. Sarah/rachel hides the clone phone in a towel and picks up a metal nail file. He asks what she is up to. Says if she is not careful Helsinki will swallow her too. Asks her what she wants. She says she wants her sisters back. He says no, you want a child. And in true Sarah style she seduces her way out of the situation. Luckily Rachel is in to being a dominatrix so she gets Ferdinand face down on the bed with a belt around his neck and pulls tight. Delphine busts in before he passes out and tells them to stop. He says he is sanctioned by Topside. Sarah/Rachel says that Helsinki is happening. Delphine said conspiring with one clone to kill the others? who will pay for this? Rachel or Ferdinand. Said that topside will kill him and not her.  He says what do you want. 

Allison sees a security light go off so she investigates. She doesn't see goon hiding behind door. His phone says "cancel Helsinki"

Delphine tells Ferdinand to report back to Topside. He leaves. Sarah confronts Delphine. She says that she is trying to find Helena and Sarah needs to stand down for now. 

Helena is in The box with her scorpion imaginary friend. She's been in the box for almost 48 hours. Military clone lets her out. Scorpion friend says congratulations, you escaped the first box. It sounds like Cosima. I picture it with little glasses on and kick ass eyeliner. 

Naked creepy clone is still mediating. Gaurd is watching him. Boom head explodes. It's 'stachey the clone! He frees him and says "hello, brother"

Oh this is going to be an awesome season. I hope the boy clones get names tho, it's getting hard to keep people straight. So, what does Castor want with the Leda clones? What is Topside? Will the Ledas be cured? And what is Kira is she some super powered clone kid? Can't wait for next week!!!!
