Uh - oh , Rachel is laughing maniacally . That ca n’t be a proficient augury for Clone Club on this week ’s episode . It ’s believably not a just sign for her , either .
You know what I omit ? Seeing the principal Clone Club trio together . Having them jaw over telecasting just is n’t the same , and I ’m disturbed that Cosima might decease before they ’re all reunite .
But lease ’s kick things off with the Murder Hendrixes . Donnie and Alison ask to do something with Leekie ’s body , and at first , Alison is the one in control . She address the swathe and hiding of the corpse like any other household job . She comes up with the architectural plan to hide the eubstance ( Alison bugger off her crime tips from Dexter , but it ’s too unfit she ca n’t watch out Orphan Black herself ; then she ’d fuck that the writers sleep together to torture her ) and she execute the air hammer while Donnie sputters and cry .
But once Vic look on the view , everything change . When it was just Alison with him , Donnie let himself wallow , but once a scourge to his sept egress , old Donnie found his spine . He ’s cast off his tears over committing manslaughter , but now it ’s his superpower . His hand are already dirty , so why not employ them to play the badass ?
He overplays his paw a little bit , though , when he confront Angie about spying on Alison . He could have just pointed out that artistic production was suspend for investigating the connection between Sarah and Beth and left it at that , but no , Donnie is too gallant of being immersed in the confederacy and freshly enlightened . “ All these women , and you just ca n’t put it together , ” he says to Angie . And Angie ? She ’s listening .
This new Donnie turns Alison on something fierce , but she ’s not so caught up in the moment that she does n’t postulate to choreograph their post - corpse concealment coitus . Then BBC America gives us Donnie butt . Thanks , I guess ?
Plus , the forever unlucky Hendrixes sign their work with a Murder Heart . No way that comes back to bite them . Nope , not at all .
Finally we get to see what ’s going on with Helena . Henrik knocks her up the new fashioned way , with an embryo carry-over equipment . Despite the whole forced marriage and theft of her eggs business , Helena initial seems down with hang around the Prolethean compound . After all , they made her pregnant , the provender her , and there are loads of Thomas Kyd around . Helena does be intimate kids . By the elbow room , should we assume that most , if not all , of those kids are Henrik ’s ? We acknowledge that Grace is his first have a bun in the oven , which implies that other children came after her .
It ’s interesting to compare Henrik ’s revisionist retelling of Frankenstein to Ethan ’s reading of The Island of Doctor Moreau last instalment . Henrik employ Frankenstein as something of a child ’s sermon , imposing his worldview on the Prolethean children . Ethan used The Island of Doctor Moreau as a means of secretly run on his scientific knowledge to Kira . Father has been a major base of this time of year , and for Henrik fatherhood means being fruitful in kick the bucket down his factor and his philosophy . For Ethan , it may mean empowering the next generation .
But the Proletheans have a fleck too much in common with the nuns who raised Helena . When Helena imperil to kill a woman who shakes and scolds a child for being the tiniest bit unruly , it ’s the first sign that she wo n’t be contented on the compound for long .
The second sign is much , much more worrisome . Even though Grace help fetch Helena back to the Proletheans , her father still forces her to carry Helena embryos ( and , disturbingly , his own ) . kudos , Henrik , you maintain your championship of the tough person on this show . I guess it ’s wise not to put all your orchis in one uterus , but all of the Prolethean women who can are carrying the Helena - Henrik embryos . It ’s basically Project Leda ’s defective nightmare .
It also means that Grace and Helena are now associate not just by similar fosterage , but also by biota . And when Helena is the first person to declare oneself Grace a alternative in the matter — telling her not to have Helena ’s babe if she does n’t want to — Grace decides to cast her lot in with Helena . Henrik cut off their effort to get off , but he makes two mistakes . First , he underestimates Mark ’s affection for Grace — not to name how disgusting even his loyal follower finds the whole put - my - embryos - in - my - own - daughter matter . Second , he turns his back on Helena .
2nd rule of Clone Club : NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON HELENA .
You commend a few episodes back when Henrik drugged Helena and carried her off to his lab ? We did n’t be intimate exactly what was going on , but we knew that finally , Helena would get her revenge . Henrik wants to put his medical equipment in Helena ? She ’s going to do it right back .
Then she combust down the Prolethean compound . So long , Proletheans . I ’m sure we have n’t heard the last of you .
The liberal electric discharge this instalment , though , is the one that links Sarah , Cosima , and Rachel . Rachel promotes Delphine to theatre director of the Dyad Institute , which Sarah ominously points out make her the new Leekie . Delphine ’s occupation is to convert Sarah to pass over Kira ’s bone marrow so that the Dyad scientists can reboot Cosima ’s resistant system — while Rachel tries to win over Delphine that her pastime in Kira is strictly medical .
Meanwhile , Ethan , Cosima , and Scott are working on a long - term answer for the clones ’ respiratory problems . Ethan has the encrypted sequence that rendered the clones barren — which is also ostensibly responsible for Cosima ’s illness . ( Really ? You did n’t suspect that measuredly giving people an autoimmune consideration might have unintended aftermath ? ) Ethan is spooky that Dyad is going to use the additional contrived sequence to produce more clon , but Scott is just happy to be here .
Somehow , Siobhan just happens to get it on someone who go a individual pediatric clinic ( because Siobhan cognise everyone ) , and Kira agrees to donate her osseous tissue marrow to potentially save Cosima . Sarah has a great mess of ambivalency about subjecting her daughter to an invading medical process after Dyad has done so much to the clones , but Cosima is family now , and Sarah is n’t go to lose her sister if she can help it .
But Sarah is n’t ready for Rachel . Marion pay another sojourn to the Dyad Institute and rattle Rachel with her public lecture of how interesting Sarah is .
On the surface , Rachel is so put together . She ’s stoic and poised . But underneath she ’s full of longing , and the treason of her Padre — Leekie , who wipe out her mother , and Ethan , who deliberately rendered her barren — put some cracks in her staring facade . The small vilification from Marion , a cleaning woman she has visibly emulated , crush Rachel but does n’t collapse her . If Sarah views Rachel as the path not taken — the girl with parents and self - knowingness — then Rachel sees Sarah the same way — the female parent with a child . But while Sarah can only visit Rachel ’s life in videotape , Rachel reckon she can just take what Sarah has .
Sarah is an adept con and improviser , but Rachel is a schemer . She uses Delphine ’s distrust of her to trick Delphine into guess Benjamin , Siobhan ’s friend , is a Dyad plant . Delphine dash the right way to the clinic to warn Sarah , giving Rachel an hatchway to pose as Sarah . She accomplishes her deception partially by not letting anyone look at her too closely , but I ca n’t assist but Rachel ’s a little too respectable at playing Sarah . Has she impersonate clones before ?
So Rachel get what she thinks she want : Kira . She does n’t just require to study Kira ; she wants to put up her within Dyad the way she herself was raised . I can only conceive of what Rachel will do once she learns that there are Helena embryo out in the creation .
