Orphan Black‘s penultimate episode of the second season just finished airing and left us in major anticipation for the season finale. Check out our recap and let us know what you thought!
Cover ups
Alison and Donnie are having one hell of a time taping up Leekie’s body and throwing it in the freezer. As they discuss what to do with the body, they agree to bury him under the garage and start jack hammering the concrete. Alison manages to get through it way better than Donnie!
As they’re digging, Alison’s kids comes to the garage to let them know that Vic is there. He wants to air things out and talk about her relation to Sarah and the thing she told him earlier about Ainsley, but she kicks him out.
Vic then goes back to their house to try and sneak a glimpse of what they’re doing in the garage, but Donnie finds him, and almost shoots him with Alison in the garage. Then, in a turn of brilliance, Donnie shows us he’s learned from his mistakes and goes to the van where Angela the cop is hiding out in and tells her that Art was suspended for doing way less than what she’s doing now, and if she keeps harassing his family he will bury her. He then takes a photo of her and leaves.
That night they finally manage to get Leekie in the grave under the garage, and get the cement over it. In that moment, Alison has never been more attracted to Donnie and they start having sex right next to the new grave.
Everyone gets fertilized
Helena is with Alexis and Henrik, who are injecting the embryos they fertilized into Helena’s womb. After, Alexis shows Helena the Prolethean nursery, and Helena starts feeling a lot of feels. She loves the kids.
After, Mark and Henrik have a meeting to discuss whether or not Mark is ready to stand by Gracie as her husband, because Henrik thinks Gracie needs to have kids.
Henrik is telling the kids a story and after it’s over, one of the girls straggles and touches Helena’s air when Alexis forces the girl out and gets really rough and disciplinary. Helena then knocks Alexis against a wall and tells her if she ever touches a kid like that again, she will gut her. Yikes.
Later, Henrik does the same procedure to Gracie that he did with Helena – and puts her in the same room as Helena, where she explains that she’s also impregnated with Helena’s eggs. When Mark comes in, he explains that Henrik impregnates all of the women because to multiply is divine.
That night, Helena decides to leave. Gracie wakes up, and she decides she wants to go with her, but as they try to leave Henrik finds them, and he has a shotgun. He knocks Helena out and traps Gracie in a cell. Mark finds Gracie, and he doesn’t like that she’s in a cell. So he distracts Henrik as Helena gets behind him and strangles him while Mark and Gracie leave.
Henrik wakes up later on the same table he used to impregnate Helena and Gracie, and Helena starts playing with all his tools. She then uses the tool to stab him in the butt with a syringe filled with cow semen, and blazes up the entire house before leaving.

At the lab, Scott manages to decrypt the infertility sequence in the genome, and Ethan says that he has the key in his head, and he’ll start decoding it.
