Orphan Black Review: “Insolvent Phantom of Tomorrow”
Orphan Black holds its plot threads together with coagulated blood, wracking up a body count that would be the envy of a Sopranos ep, and ending with a twist that indicates the writers, apparently, didn’t think the show was already bat-shi# crazy enough. Tetragametic chimerism, anyone?

Orphan Black Review: “Formalized, Complex, and Costly”
You’re the ugliest Mark yet.

Meanwhile, Grace learns the truth about her husband, and Cosmina discovers a shocking fact about the Castors.
Just another week with Clone Club.

Ferdinand: Do you remember our safe word?
Sarah as Rachel: No.
Black is back, with Helena’s captivity, Rachel’s surgery, Dyad’s duplicity, and clone multiplicity. Can the show bear the weight of this combination?
Orphan Black: “By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried”
Helena, did you burn down the Fish People’s ranch?–Felix
