Orphan Black go on a road trip this hebdomad and it catch inebriated , play with a cute guy , and throw a few punch . It also break a very morose secret about one of our familiar lineament . Is this our villain ? Or is there something even worse behind this revelation ?
If last week ’s episode was all about menage , this week ’s episode was all about throwing unlikely pairs of characters together to see what happens . However , it was cast anchor by our main twosome : Helena and Sarah . Last season , Sarah could barely sit across the table from Helena , but now they are sharing a tent and giggle like the sisters they never got to be . One matter that has been missing from Sarah ’s living up until now is a sensory faculty of fun . She might enjoy bemock people with Felix or having sex activity with Paul , but those thing make out with Sarah ’s hard edge , her alertness . Helena , on the other hand , has a extremely developed appreciation for pleasance , perhaps because small pleasures were always so precious to her . She has always been the holy terror , the freak , and she has no cause to be anything but her goofy , wide-eyed self — and that self is able to crack Sarah decently up , to make her relax in a way we have n’t seen before .
And it figures that sweet - toothed Helena ’s favourite song is “ Candy Girl . ”
Also , the show wants to pip home that these two are yin and yang :
Helena require to milk every pleasure she can out of this road stumble , so when Sarah head into the church where Ethan Duncan was last spotted and takes the key fruit ( and thus the music ) with her , Helena sneaks off into a nearby saloon . In true Helena fashion , she orders one of everything , puts on airs ( “ I ’m on vacation ” ) , and turn a dude ’s finger when he gets wee-wee at her for being unmannered ( “ Next one I break . ” ) . But something unexpected happens : Helena forgather a guy .
Helena ’s abbreviated flirtation with Trucker Hat highlight a twosome of things about Helena ’s current state : One is how much she has long for lifetime like those the other clones have had . When she secernate her life story to Trucker Hat , she pulls bits from Beth , Cosima , and Alison ’s lives , but she happily end on the part where she ’s having risky venture with her sister . The other is that the proper person can bestow out the best in Helena . She arm grapple , tease , does shot , and clothes . It all comes with Helena ’s particular brand of intensity , but it ’s pretty fun , normal daytime for her .
But it does n’t go unnoticed . Mark and Paul both show up at the bar and make a quite a little to stay out of each others ’ whisker . They figure Mark will take Helena , Paul will think Sarah , and they ’ll go their freestanding style . Again , I encounter myself wondering about Paul ’s motive in all this . What would really chance if he got Sarah alone ? Does he even hump ? In the lag , he seems somewhat amuse when Helena gets into a bar fight . She nearly gave that one lad the “ dark ” she gave that nun back in Ukraine .
While this is all rifle on , Sarah is determine about the Cold River Institute and its creepy-crawly pre - cloning experiments . Sarah realizes something very important : the cloning experiment did n’t take a hop up out of nowhere ; it was built on the spine of some in truth dreadful scientific experiment stretching back decades . But the Cold River information is incomplete ; good onetime Maggie Chen , who has drive so much of the series ’ action despite dying before it ever begin , walked off with some of the archives .
as luck would have it , Sarah has a crack team deciphering the info from Maggie Chen ’s storage storage locker : Art and Felix , our next unbelievable pair . artistry is a cop through and through , needing to figure out the total mystery — and he likes having a partner to do it , even one as unwilling as Felix . Little does he know that Angie has made some progress in her own investigation .
Alison ’s doing a pathetic job going through the pace of rehab . She does n’t think she has much in common with people who bumble their drug dealers in the parking lot , and she ’s not about to fess up about her pill habit in chemical group therapy . But then she sees a face she was n’t expecting to see : Vic ’s . Yes , Sarah ’s X is still following the program and he tells Alison that he thinks the godhead has put her in his path . Alison does n’t even suppress an eye rolling over his evident conversion to Buddhism .
Poor Alison . She ’s spend so much of the series concerned over who is monitoring her for Dyad , and she does n’t even regard that Vic might be more than just a loser addict . In fact , he ’s just her belated admonisher — but for Angie alternatively of Dyad .
Cosima also run into someone unexpected : Scott , who has been accepted into the Dyad and has figured out that Delphine and Cosima have been examine clones — although he has n’t visualize out that Cosima is one . Dude looks like a Thomas Kid on Christmas morning when he ask if he can see a knockoff .
Scott has also figured out something important : those stem cells that are supposed to treat Cosima ’s respiratory complaint ? They did n’t come from a alien or a ringer . Instead , they came from a distaff congeneric , which means Dyad likely has Kira ’s sister teeth — teeth that Mrs. S likely supplied . I wonder what she got from the Dyad tooth fairy in exchange . Delphine want to keep this detail from Cosima , at least for the time being .
mouth of secrets , we ultimately learn for certain why Cosima obscure her unwellness from Sarah and Alison . She did n’t require to worry them , and she did n’t want to give Sarah another reason to worry over Kira . Now , though , she let in that it ’s sentence for Clone Club to reunite . “ We ’re strong together , ” she tells Sarah . “ Go figure . ”
When a cop tells Helena that her babe has come to foot her up , she is n’t expect Grace . But it seems an appropriate word form as Grace ’s life has certain echoes of Helena ’s . They were both parent by religious extremists — one who holds skill above all and the other who believes it is the devil ’s body of work — and both seriously abused for their disobedience . They might have a quite a little to alliance over if they were n’t trying to wipe out one another .
Grace knows how to bring Helena back to the Prolethian chemical compound , however . She promises that Henrik will give Helena back her “ children , ” her fertilized eggs . With a sudden biological imperative mood beyond Kira , Helena gibe to return to the Prolethians . The next prison term they forgather , Sarah may have to deliver Helena .
or else of bail Helena out of jail , Sarah continues on to find Ethan Duncan , who is now living under the name Andrew Peckham . And this is the lady who answers the room access :
Man , Mrs. S arrest around .
Siobhan is typically shadowy , but she does occupy in a few details about her organization . They got involved with this whole mess when they learned about experiments being performed on fetuses and they ’ve oppose the owners of Project Leda ever since . That include hiding Mr. Andrew Peckham , who defect after the death of his married woman , Susan . The former Ethan Duncan is a bit muddled ; he ab initio mistakes Sarah for Rachel and he ’s vague on the origins of Project Leda . He break that the military was the original owner of Project Leda , but that Dyad took over before the clone fetuses — the “ validation of concept”—came to terminus . When asked what the point of it all was , he simply tells Sarah , “ Babies . Little female child . ”
He ’s most limpid when he explain what happen with Susan and Rachel . He and Susan want to go public , to disclose the cloning program to the mankind . But the Neolutionists inside Dyad would n’t have it . It was n’t Siobhan ’s group that obliterate Susan : it was Dr. Leekie , the same man who raise Rachel after Susan ’s destruction .
Dun - dun - DUUUUUUUUUN .
Okay , so this parent a server of questions . Did Leekie want Rachel to be this ultimate incarnate executive ? Is he ultimately more potent than Sarah inside Dyad ? How much can we trust his medical discussion of Cosima ? Did he deliberately lead Paul to Sarah ?
Oh yes , Paul is still out there . Siobhan spots him sitting in his elevator car and does what Siobhan does — bring him Camellia sinensis . She gets kind of fiercely enate on Paul , offer him cooky while remind him that she ’s the mom in all of this . ( Siobhan says that this is a conflict she did n’t necessitate for , but I still imagine it ’s possible that she ’s proprietor of the original genome . ) And like a sound mom , she ’s got eyes in the back of her headspring . She knows about everything , even Afghanistan . She assure Paul that he could probably use a new acquaintance at this point in time .
Paul , would you say no to that facial expression ? I would n’t propose it .
