“Variable
and Full of Perturbation”
(Spoilers)
We’re
introduced to two criminals who have just been shot up by guys in suits. One named Sammy is hit and dies, but not
before sending the other – Tony – to find Beth (who had contacted him) with a
message. Tony – who used to be
Antoinette Zwicky – is a transgender clone. He calls Beth’s phone and gets Art who sets up
a meeting. Art takes him to Felix to
watch over while he checks out his story, but Tony won’t give the message until
he knows what’s going on. Felix
eventually calls in Sarah, and they tell him about the clones and he tells them
the message, which is that Beth should put her faith in Paul because he’s like
Sammy, a “ghost.” Sarah, Felix, and Art then give Tony a clone phone and send
him away on a bus to keep him out of danger.
During
all of this, Paul has disappeared. This
has Rachel somewhat concerned, possibly even upset. She tells Delphine that Leekie is dead, a
heart attack on a jet.
At
Dyad, Cosima – still angry at Delphine – gets Kira’s tooth and has Scott
extract the stem cells. He tells her
that a better solution may be a bone marrow transplant, but Cosima doesn’t want
to think about that.
Alison
returns home from rehab to find Donnie drunk. He later tries to leave, and she confesses
about Aynsley and Donnie confesses about Leekie, who he still has in the trunk
of his car. Alison starts cleaning
everything up.
Cosima
walks in on Scott and some other techs playing a game, and she joins in kicking
butt. Then Delphine comes in and they
kick Scott and his gang out to make up.
Rachel,
Mrs. S. and Ethan come to an arrangement where he will start working on the
clone illness. When he goes to Dyad he explains
to Rachel that the clones were designed to be sterile, which Rachel doesn’t
care for.
Cosima
tells Scott that she is the clone they have been studying. He’s honored to meet her. When Ethan comes into the lab, she starts
coughing up blood and goes into convulsions.
Before
leaving Mrs. S’s, Ethan gave Kira his copy of The Island of Dr. Moreau, which he had been reading to her. Later when Kira looks through it, we see that
it has a bunch of genetic and chemical stuff scrawled in the margins.

I
wasn’t expecting Tony. In fact, when he
first took off his ski mask and I saw the thin beard, I thought it was part of
a disguise. Since the Fourth Season has
to do with Beth, I wonder if they might find a way to bring him back. We’ll see.
When
I first saw this, I was worried that Cosima might die, which concerns me since
she is my favorite clone. But – spoilers
– she’s in the Fourth Season, still fighting.
I hope they do figure something out to save her. Again, we’ll see.
