“Orphan Black” recap (4.06): Worth the Salt

Has this been the most intense week of television ever or is it just me?

Okay, so my heart fell to the ground and shattered when Evie said Delphine was dead HOWEVER then I started frantically thinking about it, and I’m still not convinced she’s dead. Maybe I’m in the denial stage of grief, but hear me out.

Reasons I Don’t Think Delphine is Dead

  1. Evie is a lying liar who will say anything to get the Leda clones to stay out of her business. She told Beth that the only way to save her family was to kill herself. Not exactly a stellar human being over here.
  2. Krystal said, AND I WILL QUOTE AGAIN, “I saw her get shot. I saw everything.” Why wouldn’t she have just been like, “Sorry guys she’s dead.” What’s “everything” if not perhaps one person shooting her and then someone else coming in and taking her away, still alive? Or even just the person who shot her taking her in alive? Why would they even have Krystal say that if what Evie said was true?
  3. Right before that, Krystal also said “Do you know her? Is she involved in this?” Present tense. Most people automatically switch to past tense when talking about someone they believe to be dead, especially if that person wasn’t close to them.
  4. As Evie got back in her car, leaving Cosima alone in the field with Kendall’s body burning in the background, she flashed back to the time Beth beat the snot out of her and she smiled this smug smile, like maybe torturing Cosima by saying Delphine is dead was her way of punishing Beth (as if getting her to kill herself wasn’t enough). I think she hates the clones on more than just a scientific level, and she’s obviously not above lying and manipulating people.

I just don’t think they’d drag this out like this if she’s been dead this whole time, you know? But who knows, on this show. Who knows? I just hope they scoop some of that blood off the sidewalk to use for Cosima’s cure because she’s spitting up blood in the preview for next week and if Cosima dies, I will be so far from okay.

What did you think of “The Scandal of Altruism”?
