Orphan Black proved once again that nobody messes around with the sisters. No matter how many people try to divide them, they will stick together.
MK is back
Our newest clone MK is back, and she manages to connect our group hiding out in the comic book shop with the Susan Duncan group that’s off on the Island of Doctor Moreau. MK has also been able to dig up a lot of dirt on Detective Duco. Lastly, she lets the sisters know that Evie Cho wants the “self aware” clones eliminated.
Why is MK back? She may not be entirely lying when she says she wants to be a part of the sisters, but the truth is that she is displaying the same symptoms as Cosima.
NOOOOOO. #OrphanBlack pic.twitter.com/SEeWQIt4g8

Seeing things
Is Rachel really seeing swans? Is it her imagination? Is she glitching? Is she being programmed and invaded? We have no idea, but with Team Cosima inbound, maybe they’ll get to the bottom of it.

Freaky science partners
After much negotiation and back and forth, the two camps of clones decide to unite their scientific approaches and resources. They may not entirely trust each other, but they need each other to fight Evie Cho. Cosima will fly out to Duncan’s remote Iceland location with donated eggs from Sarah. By combining them with sperm donated by Ira, they will essentially have perfect Leda and Castor stem cells in the making. These stem cells might provide the only cure that can help Cosima and the other clones who will eventually fall sick or “glitch.”
Donnie in the big house
Donnie does just about as well in jail as you’d imagine. Never mind that Donnie tries to fit in by spewing cliched jailhouse talk right out of bad movies, he’s got bigger problems. Neolutionists are in the jail with him, and they are watching his every move. In fact, they are plants who work for Duco. It’s all a ploy to get Alison to rat on her sisters. If Allison reveals where Sarah is hiding, then Donnie goes free. If she doesn’t cooperate, Donnie loses an eye and a few brain cells.
Revenge most sweet
Mrs. S. goes to hunt down Duco, but she realizes that he’s meeting with Alison, and she decides not to kill him. She correctly surmises that Alison is being blackmailed by Duco, and that an intervention is in order. After a brilliant double-cross in the comic book shop, S. has her revenge and kills Duco. S. shows Duco no mercy, as it seems his reasons for working with Neolution and killing Kendall Malone were mostly selfish. He wasn’t so much looking to protect his family as he was to line his pockets.
Felix to the rescue
Felix is once again Alison’s knight in shining armor. Not only does he get his biological sister to give Alison and Donnie free legal advice, but he also helps Alison stay focused during her musical rehearsals for a Jesus Christ Superstar review.
Felix is back in the good graces of the family. He and Sarah have mostly made up, but it’s an uneasy peace.

Musical Alison
Oh, singing Alison, how we have missed you! Is there anything better than singing Broadway numbers complete with jazz hands? In a great, ironic twist, Alison must decide if she betrays her sisters to save Donnie just as she is cast to sing the role of Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar.
As Alison warbles away and fumbles dance moves, we discover that she didn’t betray her sisters like we were led to believe. Alison gives the performance of a lifetime and convinces Duco (and let’s face it — us, too) that she is a traitor who cracks under pressure and is willing to sell out her sister when in fact the opposite is true. Thanks to Sarah’s cunning mind and Alison’s brilliant acting, Donnie is saved. At the moment, the clones have the upper hand.
