Cosima (Tatiana Maslany) has become somehow become fascinated with Dr.
Leekie's (Matt Frewer) theories about neolution, and starts dropping all
guard, despite the fact that fellow clone Sarah (also Tatiana Maslany)
suspects him to be behind it all - and he might as well be, as he asks his
girlfriend Delphine (Evelyne Brochu) to become very friendly with
Cosima to find out the names of the other clones from her. And nerdy
Cosima really falls for Delphine, but refrains from giving up any
information as of now because she suspects her (correctly as it seems) to
be her monitor. Fellow clone Alison (yet again Tatiana Maslany) in the
meantime suspects an old friend of hers, Aynsley (Natalie Lisinska) to be
her monitor, not a minute figuring she might just be an annoyingly nosey
neighbour, and that somehow ends up with her having sex with Aynsley's
husband (Eric Johnson) in his car - and they're caught. And eventually,
when she has nowhere else to go she turns to Sarah. In the meantime, Sarah
impersonates Beth one more time to find out more about what's happening,
but at the police station, she has to find out that her former partner Art
(Kevin Hanchard) and his new partner Angela (Inga Cadranel) are slowly
moving in on her and her clones - which is why she, with Alison eventually
makes off to her foster mother Siobhan (Maria Doyle Kennedy) - about which
Siobhan is less than happy as she knows Sarah usually means trouble, not
only to her but also to Sarah's daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler), who is in
her care - and indeed, clone-killing clone Helena (yup, again Tatiana
Maslany) has picked up Sarah's trail already, and when she stumbles upon
little Kira, she kidnaps her - but later lets her go again, as she starts
to have feelings for her. Unfortunately, on her way back, Kira, right
before Sarah's very eyes, is run over by a car ...
Tension's definitely mounting in this episode that ties
several narrative threads together in a rather inspired way, and that
again manages to tell a story of its own and whet one's appetite for more
episodes, bringing closure and asking more questions at the same time.
