Orphan Black Season 3 Epi 9 Review: You Should Not Threaten Babies

"Insolvent Phantom of Tomorrow" finds Mrs S, Sarah and Felix back in London searching for the original Castor. They contact Siobhan's old flame Terry who says the number from the book is actually a prisoner ID number. Terry uncovers the name but Ferdinand (remember him?) shows up first. Uh oh. That cant be good. James Frain you're one scary dude. Meanwhile Virginia gives Rudy the usual logic test which he fails. It's a race against time to crack the code before Rudy glitches.

Donnie is recovering from Kellerman's beat down. Now Pouchy wants the pills back since Jason will no longer vouch for the Hendricks. When a goon ransacks their house, he discovers Helena's nitrogen baby tank (and takes it). Helena is not going to be happy.

Mrs S sings at the bar. The lyrics are "Are we gonna get up or are we gonna stay on the floor" which is appropriate since Terry is getting the crap beat out of him. That was a very effective use of editing. They find Terry but its too late. He whispers something in S's ear but we dont know what. Sarah takes Terry's cell phone and calls the last number.

Stateside Gracie is off to her doctor's appointment. She hugs Helena before leaving. That seemed final. Yep that's because Gracie was in fact the mole. She sold out the clones to be with Mark. I'm hoping Gracie can redeem herself at a later date.

Helena Doing Her Best Alison Impersonation. Freaking Hilarious!

Helena asks for Donnie's help to get her babies back. He takes all the pills back to Pouchy (in exchange for their money and the tank). Helena arrives too. She's disguised as Alison. That was absolutely hilarious. Everything is going as planned until the mobsters threaten Alison's kids. Helena pushing Donnie outside and locks the door. She says "You should not threaten babies". The next time we see Helena she's carrying a machete and is covered in blood. She says "I got refund. I do not think they will be coming back for change." Who doesnt love Helena? She is quickly becoming my favorite clone.

Thanksgiving Dinner Is Going To Be Uncomfortable This Year

Sarah and Felix catch a cab and end up at a house. Sarah goes inside while Felix stands guard. An older woman pulls a knife on her. The mystery prisoner is Kendall Malone. It turns out Kendall is... wait for it... Kendall is a woman AND she is Mrs S's mother. Wow. I didnt see that coming. She was in jail for killing Mrs S's husband John. Kendall is the castor original because she absorbed a male twin at birth. So Kendall is both Leda and Castor. And I guess that makes Mrs S and Sarah sisters? My mind is blown. Mrs S had originally planned to kill the Castor original. Now I guess she cant since that would also seal the Leda clones fate. That and it's her mother.

Drats! I Was So Looking Forward To Murdering You.

Meanwhile Delphine pays a visit to Shay. She plans to have her kill herself and make it look like a suicide. She even brought the razor blade-- how considerate. Shay swears she's not guilty of betraying Cosima but Delphine doesnt believe her. Just then Cosima calls saying it was Gracie all along. Now Delphine cant kill Shay. I'm seriously loving this side of Delphine.

Favorite Quotes:

"You should not threaten babies"- Helena to Pouchy's crew.
"I got refund. I do not think they will be coming back for change."- Helena to Donnie.
"Hello Mother!"- Mrs S to Kendall. Holidays at their house are going to be WAY uncomfortable.
Baddie: "Whats up with your voice?" Helena as Alison: "I have a cold". Donnie: Its one of those really bad ones that messes with your...syntax."

Grade: 4 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). Kudos on the big reveals. Finally we have some answers. Next week is the season finale. With only 10 episodes per year, it gets here way too quickly. What are you predictions? I assume there will be a Castor/Leda smackdown. My only hope is that they dont kill Cosima or Delphine. And I still dont trust Shay.
