This modern Sarah, though, has a moral compass and teaches Kira a bit of right and wrong, and that cons are immoral unless one is on the run from either super secret religious killers or science cults. On the road with Kira, Sarah appears to be happy for the first time. It’s as if these moments are a reward for what Sarah endured in the first season. On the road, Sarah is discovering it’s hard to be a mom, but super mom clone Alison must vacuum while fending off the clumsy sexual advances of her just about estranged husband Donnie. He’s about at competent at romance as he is at espionage. From Alison avoiding romance to Cosima embracing it, the sexiest science clone in creation is still trying to find a cure to whatever disease is killing her. Girlfriend Delphine gifts Cosima with a video diary and through this diary, a new clone enters the fray, Jennifer, a teacher, who is documenting her battle with lung polyps. Cosima is trying to build a family unit with Delphine while Sarah searches for a dwelling of her own. The house Sarah and her fam are crashing in belongs to one of Sarah’s former marks. Sarah’s past is a constant story engine, a place for writers like Mr. Stargate Alex Levine to visit and find story elements for Sarah’s present drama. Well, this week Levine pulls out a doozy as we meet Cal, a man who had been caught up in Sarah’s drama once and does not want to be conned again. Sarah is willing to leave the justifiably angry Cal, but Kira shows her innate perception by figuring out that Cal is, wait for it now, her father. Familial drama too intense? Well (say it with us) it’s community theatre time! After her (ahem) rather brilliant performance, Alison runs into Art’s partner. Angie disguised herself as a fellow pony tailed ‘burb bubblehead who tricks Alison into letting her use her phone. The always cunning Alison sees through the ruse, but now thinks Angie is a new watcher. Angie did have the suburban bubble head thing down, we’ll give her that, but our little brilliant thespian Alison saw right through it. Armed with her new erroneous knowledge, Alison reports there are new monitors about to Cosima and that Cosima shouldn’t trust Delphine. Cosima is almost drowning in the drama, clone cancer and her lover may be totally false, but Alison has a play, dammit, and that takes precedence! Cosima must absorb all this while searching for answers to her own health dilemma in the video diary. Somehow, Tatiana Maslany finds fresh nuances to play yet another clone, In the few glimpses of Jennifer, we see a woman rapidly dying, and the scenes, brief as they are, have a powerful impact as Maslany allows Jennifer a vulnerability that the other clones haven’t displayed thus far. The whole thing is heartbreaking and really well done as somehow the episode makes us care about Jennifer in just two small scenes. The diary isn’t the only part of poor Jennifer that Delphine possesses, she also has the dead teacher’s cadaver and, this can’t be good for the mental health, Cosima must essentially autopsy herself. Sarah is nominated for the Laurie Grimes memorial negligent mom of the year award as she allows Kira to wander the grounds by herself. Yeah, half the world is hunting you, a religious cult and a crazed research company is dogging your every step, so yeah, honey, go feed the chickens. Not a very Sarah moment, maybe she was mesmerized by Cal’s beard, it is pretty epic, but this moment does not ring true for the pragmatic Sarah…she pays for it, as Kira and Sarah are forcibely taken by the Dyad security head. Things end all freaky as the as head Promethean zealot Henry marries a drugged and bed ridden Helena with his congregation watching. With Helena drugged, in a wedding gown, Henry carries her over the threshold, into a laboratory to engage in ushering the next evolution of Prometheans into the world through…Helena’s enhanced and now violated womb? Excuse me, I need to shower. Sarah sought comfort in the arms of a would-be father to her offspring while poor Helena is being forced to procreated in a twisted wedding ceremony that will result in a laboratory consummation while Cosima is literally tearing herself apart and Alison has laid a musical egg. The episode ends with Sara and her kidnapper being plowed by a speeding car, so things don’t seem to be getting better for anyone. The good: – Felix’s loyalty to Alison – The surprising introduction of Cal. The bad: The ugly: – Drunken musicals.
