“Certain
Agony of the Battlefield”
(Spoilers)
Sarah
dreams that she is chasing Kira through the base and ends up in a room where
Rudy is giving her a blood transfusion. She wakes up to find a bandage on her throat.
Paul
has a meeting with his contact in DC to discuss what Virginia is doing. Paul gives the guy Parsons’ sex notebook as
evidence Virginia is conducting civilian trials. His contact says he needs more evidence to
move against Virginia.
Cosima
wakes up at Shay’s, and is getting calls from Scott. Apparently, Cosima is dreaming about Sarah,
and Shay asks who that is. When Cosima
does go in to work, she finds that Delphine – who has the photos of Cosima and
Shay – is back. Delphine wonders how
they got a Castor brain and who this Gracie woman they are checking on is. She knows because they ran their tests at Dyad.
Something they missed but Delphine found,
is that a protein from the brain also showed up in Gracie. Felix brings Gracie to Cosima for follow-up
tests, where they discover that her ovaries are atrophying.
While
at Dyad, Felix gets Scott to take him to see Rachel to see what she knows about
Castor. She’s in a wheelchair painting. Felix threatens and humiliates her and leaves
in disgust. Scott is cleaning up her
paintings, when he notices some symbols on them that match those in Ethan’s
book. He tells Cosima that Rachel may
know the code.
Alison
and Donnie are enjoying the drug life. After
paying off Jason, they want to take it “to the next level,” but Jason isn’t
sure they’re ready. Especially after
Donnie splurges and buys a new car. So
Alison has a plan to buy her mother’s store, Bubbles, to run as a front.
Helena
is in the desert running, being chased by Rudy. At one point, she “eats” Pupok.
Paul
returns to the base to discover that Sarah is have a bad reaction to the blood
transfusion. In a fevered dream, she
talks with Beth who tells her to start asking “Who?” instead of “Why?”
Paul
talks to a doctor who isn’t that bad. He
tells Paul about how, while Paul was out with Beth, Rudy came in with a girl
with the disease. This started a new
line of research. With Mark’s help, Paul
sneaks into Virginia’s office and sees that the ovaries of the affected women
have atrophied. With this evidence, he
calls his contact who has him arrest Virginia and take over the base. The contact says that a team will be there in
a few hours.
Sarah
feels better and goes to talk to Virginia. Unlike the other Leda clones, Sarah is
fertile, which Virginia figured would make her immune to the Castor STD, which
she apparently is. She and Paul ask what
the point of these tests are, and we learn that Virginia is trying to isolate
this Castor defect to use it as a weapon. If you make your enemy infertile, they
eventually go away.
Rudy
is still out looking for Helena, when he gets a call. He sneaks back into the base and kills most of
Paul’s men.
Mark
checks Rudy’s phone and finds out he got a call. He tells Paul who calls his contact, but Paul
knows he can’t trust him. Paul goes to
get Sarah out of the base. He comes
across Miller and kills him, but not before Miller stabs him in the stomach
several times. Paul gets Sarah to a vent
of a secret tunnel that will take her to a garage. He then closes the panel and tells her to go
on. He goes back to the data Virginia
had, including the baby bones. She and
Rudy find him there, and he asks her to just cure the boys and leave everything
else behind. She shoots him, but it
turns out he was holding a grenade.
The
explosion knocks Sarah down in the tunnel, but Helena finds her.

I
can’t say, don’t worry, Paul will be fine.
He’s dead. On one hand, there are
a lot of characters in this show and you need to trim that a bit to make sure
all of them are relevant. Like Art’s
barely in this season. But I was sad to
see Paul go. You were never entirely
sure where he stood, which made him an interesting character.
As
far as you can tell from the show, the only Castor clones left are Mark and
Rudy. But I guess they can always bring
out new clones, like they do with Leda, because I guess there’s a new Castor
clone in Season Four. We’ll have to see.
