Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) is arrested by her (or rather deceased Beth's)
former partner Art (Kevin Hanchard), who's desparately trying to get
behind things, and when he interrogates her, she slowly comes to the
conclusion she can trust him and is almost ready to talk - when the
interview's cut short by her lawyer, or rather the lawyer provided by
Leekie's (Matt Frewer) organisation that's probably behind everything. And
Leekie offers Sarah and her fellow clones Cosima and Alison (both also
played by Tatiana Maslany) protection and no more supervision, if only
they agree to do medical checks twice a year. Cosima and Alison agree, but
Sarah's not so sure, especially when she finds that the woman behind the
scenes, Rachel (again Tatiana Maslany) is actually another version of
herself. Sarah receives a call from her birth mother, Amelia (Melanie
Nicholls-King), who offers to tell her the truth about her foster mother
Siobhan (Maria Doyle Kennedy), but before she can meet up, Sarah's twin
clone Helena (of course it's Tatiana Maslany again) kills Amelia. Finding
that out, Sarah gets into such a rage that she shoots Helena dead, twin
sister or not. But Amelia had a photo with her that shows that Siobhan
might actually be connected to Leekie's organisation in a not entirely
positive manner. In the meantime, Alison meets up with Aynsley (Natalie
Lisinska), whom she believes to be her monitor, and the two get into a
grave argument - that results in Aynsley having an accident and Alison
refusing to save her life, prefering to be rid of her monitor for good -
too bad then that Aynsley was indeed only a nosey neighbour while her own
husband (Kristian Bruun) is revealed (to the audience, not to Alison) to
be her monitor. Cosima makes up with her girlfriend/monitor Delphine
(Evelyne Brochu), and the two of them somehow get their hands on the
clones' DNA sequences - and somehow find out that all the clones plus
Sarah's daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler) are intellectual property of
Leekie's organisation. Upon learning that, Sarah rushes to Siobhan's
place, only to find it trashed, and both Siobhan and Kira gone ... A
fitting season finale for sure that does answer some questions, leaves
others open, ends on a cliffhanger and certainly whets one's appetite for
more. And it's again an episode that also has a story arc of its own while
contributing to the bigger picture, making this one (as most of the
season) a pretty cool watch.
