“Orphan Black” recap (4.04): Control

Across town, Sarah goes back to Dizzy to ask for help, but he’s not sure what exactly in it for him. Besides being mesmerized by that Leda face. He decides that he’ll help out in exchange for answers to his many questions, so she breaks the first rule of Clone Club and tells Dizzy that they’re genetic identicals.

He cracks some beers for them as she breaks down that there are 22 clones that they know of, nine still living (Sarah, Cosima, Alison, Helena, Rachel, MK, Krystal, Tony, Charlotte. Took me a minute to count all nine since Charlotte’s from a different batch.) In exchange for blowing his mind, Dizzy helps Sarah track MK to a scrap yard.

In the backyard of the Hendrix House, Helena mourns her science babies (they didn’t get enough liquid nitrogen) and buries them. She tells them that she will tell the twins about them, and then says goodbye to the Hendrix family (figuratively, since no one else is there) before packing up and heading out. Hopefully to find Sarah because she shouldn’t be alone ever again.

Go find the ying to your yang, sestra.

Sarah and Dizzy find MK’s trailer, and Sarah calls out for her sestra, calling her Mika, but when she opens the door to break in, Dizzy stops her just before she steps on a pressure plate bomb. They carefully step over it and start looking for information.

Over in Professor Duncan’s bird-lined hell, Rachel is told her eye is almost fully pigmented, and while the Professor is distracted, Rachel slips Charlotte another message to send out.

I think Charlotte needs some Mrs. S in her life. Rachel too, for that matter.

After Charlotte skips off, Susan tells Rachel that she’ll consider a therapy for Charlotte’s illness, but that her dataset as an untreated subject might be useful. Susan asks her daughter what she would do, and Rachel feels like it’s a test. She hates this all so much. She is totally out of control of every aspect of her life and everything she thought she knew was wrong and she’s just so broken about it all. I never thought I’d ever feel this bad for Rachel “ProClone” Duncan.

Sarah pokes around MK’s trailer and finds out that MK isn’t really her name, but part of her ID code like 324B21 is Cosima’s. And it looks like lately MK wasn’t tracking any of the Duncans, but Sarah.

Back in the lab, Cosima pulls the maggot out of the tumor, and they once again see its synthetic core, but wonder if maybe it’s not alive. They still have questions though, like what does it do and why does Leekie have one? Scott starts flicking the lights and they see that there are glow-in-the-dark bits on the tumor, which means the maggotbot is introducing foreign dna. It’s a gene therapy delivery system. Which means the tech in Sarah’s cheek could be changing her DNA.
