Alison (Tatiana Maslany) is so sure that her husband Donnie's (Kristian
Bruun) is actually her clone monitor that she knocks him out with a golf
club and ties him to a chair to question him ... but she has totally
forgotten she has invited over a bunch of neighbours and friends for an
afternoon get together - so she calls fellow clone Sarah (Tatiana Maslany
again) to do the questioning while she plays the host ... but gets totally
hammered and passes out, so basically now it's up to Sarah to chip in for
Alison the host, and she calls in her foster brother Felix (Jordan
Gavaris) to help her, and he soon thinks he has made out who Alison's
monitor is, and it's not Donnie but nosey neighbour Aynsley (Natalie
Lisinska). Problems really arise when both Sarah's monitor Paul (Dylan
Bruce) and her violent ex Vic (Michael Mando) show up at the scene. In
the meantime at university, fellow clone Cosima (yes, it's Tatiana Maslany
yet again) thinks she has found her monitor, French exchange student
Delphine (Evelyne Brochu), and she tries to become friends with her, and
also feels drawn to her. Delphine eventually takes her to a lecture of
science maverick Dr. Leekie (Matt Frewer), who has some interesting ideas
that also touch cloning. What Delphine fails to tell Cosima though is that
she and Leekie actually are in a relationship ... This episode
of Orphan Black is more on the lighter, almost comical side
of things, but still fits in with the overall tone of the series,
basically because it drives the series narrative arc forwards, puts more
pieces of the puzzle in place, and whets one's appetite for more - it's
just without being moronic this is a rather funny episode, tells a rather
funny story of its own, without breaking the broader context.
