Orphan Black recap: 'Clutch of Greed' 

Mrs. S tells that to an unconscious Sarah as she drifts in Rachel/tranquilizer-dart-induced slumber. She’s referring to Kira — who is now showing interest in finding out why she’s so “special,” which hopefully means we’ll

get some answers on that front — but it’s also symbolic of Sarah accepting M.K.’s decision to stay behind, to stop running after all these years, and to accept the (awful, painful) consequences that came her way.

And, if all that wasn’t enough, we also got to meet the man at the top of the Neolution food chain: P.T. Westmorland, in the flesh. Was he what you expected? I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ve seen of him, so there will be plenty of time to analyze his methods and motives.

With all that in mind, let’s fire up the ol’ Orphan Black Clone Status Hyper-Sequence Generator Calcutron again and lay out where everyone stands at the end of this week’s episode.

When Sarah comes round, she’s holed up in some sort of cell at Dyad HQ and

not happy to be Rachel’s captive. Ferdinard, class act that he is, is amused by her fury, but it’s nice to see he’s still sporting a nasty cut on his hand from where Siobhan came after him and that (much to his dismay) he couldn’t retaliate — because, as we heard last week, Rachel’s orders are for the Clone Club to remain unharmed.

He does queue up a video feed from Alison, still under watch at home courtesy of Team Neolution. Art appears on camera too, and tells Sarah there’s nowhere to run. “You can call it a truce or whatever, but they want you all to come in.” Cosima comes up on screen too, and tells Sarah they want her to stay put at Revival — Rachel administered the treatment so her trial is underway, and if it works on her she can expand the treatment to the other Leda sisters. Ferdinand cuts the feed before she can ask more questions and directs it to someone else close to Sarah’s heart: Kira, in a nearby room coloring. Rachel’s offering her the chance to go home – if she’s ready, in his words, to “behave.”

With Kira and S’s encouragement, Sarah agrees to Rachel’s deal and they’re taken home to reunite with Felix — but Ferdinand adds that when Kira’s done with school for the day, Auntie Rachel will pick her up for her first day of Dyad testing. When he leaves, though, all pretenses of agreeability drop and Sarah demands to know how they’re going to get out of this. The house is being watched, and so are S’s people, but Felix says he’s working on a plan (plus, naturally, he’s already a pro at sneaking in and out of Chez S). Without an escape method in place, Sarah dutifully takes Kira to school – being trailed by Rachel’s lackeys, of course. Not one to follow Dyad orders, Sarah orchestrates an escape plan with the help of M.K. (more on that later), but when everyone gets to the meeting point, Kira objects: “I want to know why I’m like this!”

Sarah, understandably, isn’t happy to hear her daughter choosing Rachel over her, but Mrs. S supports her wanting to learn more of her identity: “We can’t run from it any longer.” I understand that, and want Kira intel as much as the next

fan does, but I don’t really get why they’re letting a kid dictate whether they hide from an evil clone heading up a massive biotech corporation. Anyway!

M.K. has been laying low at Felix’s loft — but she’s in bad shape, apparently suffering from the same mysterious respiratory disease that’s affected Cosima and the other Leda clones. She’s been sick for a while now but is less concerned with that than she is with the fact that Rachel is trying to restart human cloning at Dyad. Via video chat, she tells Sarah that her network can help with an escape plan, so long as she can get Kira out from under Rachel’s surveillance.

Things start off according to plan when Sarah, dressed as Rachel, picks up Kira at school, but things go off the rails when the real Rachel shows up shortly after. To make things worse, M.K. never went to Scott and the lab, as had been part of the plan. Determined to help her fellow sestra, Sarah heads towards Felix’s loft while S takes off with Kira and they agree to meet later at the designated rendezvous point. Unfortunately for everyone, Ferdinand spots Sarah and follows her.

If you didn’t realize M.K. and Sarah’s goodbye in the loft was a single take, go back and watch it again. I’ve watched it no less than five times, and it’s mind blowing even considering the usual multiple-Maslanys-in-one-scene level of technical difficulty fans are accustomed to. M.K. knows she’s dying and is tired of hiding — she’s been on the run and off the grid for so long, and she’s finally ready to let go. She urges Sarah to leave her behind, they switch clothes so M.K. can buy her some time, and Sarah escapes down a side staircase with just moments to spare before Ferdinand busts down the door. You’ll remember, of course, that Ferdinand and M.K. have prior history (à la Helsinki), and he’s practically gleeful that he’s found her again. Sneering and yelling about Rachel (with the blonde wig on, he seems to confuse them and directs his rage for Rachel towards M.K.), he jumps on her chest repeatedly, forcefully, until she dies. Damn. I’ll miss M.K. and her sheep mask.
