“The
Stigmata of Progress”
(Spoilers)
We
start with Rachel, who is still in some secret facility. She has visits from Charlotte who takes
online courses. There is also Ira,
Rachel’s physical therapist, who is a Castor Clone raised by Susan in Neolution. He is working on making Rachel’s bionic eye
look normal.
After
months away, Susan returns, which Rachel figures means that they lost Kendall
again. They argue and snipe, and Ira
takes Susan’s side.
We
learn that Charlotte has a deformed leg, which is why she had a leg brace when
we first saw her. Susan also says that
Charlotte has had “an unfortunate series of guardians.” We also learn that she
was cloned from Rachel. While the two of
them are painting, Rachel uses the paint to ask if Charlotte got her message
out, since she doesn’t have access to any computers, and Charlotte says
yes. She then coughs up some blood, but
says it just happens sometimes.
Susan
later says that the point of Neolution is to direct human evolution to make
“more perfect” humans.
Cosima
and Scott ultrasound Sarah’s cheek, but don’t really have a clue as to what the
implant does, or is for. Sarah figures
that if she can’t find MK, she’ll have to find Dizzy.
Kira
was left upstairs at the comic shop, and says that she always knows when
something bad is happening. Hell Wizard
was teaching her a game, but she grows distant and sweeps it to the floor.
Sarah
shows up at Felix’s to tell him everything, and finds Adele, his
half-sister. She’s a druggy lawyer being
disbarred. Sarah thinks she has to be a
Neolution plant, but Felix thinks she’s overreacting, and they split on a bit
of a tiff.
Felix’s
history is that his dad was an American who had an affair with a London dancer
who died. Felix has the faintest
memories of her. Adele’s mom knew of the
affair, but not about a child until her dad was on his deathbed.
Donnie
check’s Alison’s cheek, but can’t find anything. Cosima is on the phone and mentions that they
need one of these maggotbots to see how to get it out of Sarah. So Alison proposes to Donnie that they dig up
Leekie’s body to see if he had one.
While
they are digging it up, some cops show up to ask about how Alison’s campaign
stuff ended up in a warehouse where some drug people were killed a few weeks
ago. But instead of Alison, they find
Helena. But she manages to pull things
off, even naming some of the people on Alison’s staff.
Alison
and Donnie find a thing in Leekie’s cheek – like a cocoon or something – so
they call Cosima and tell her that Donnie killed Leekie and they buried him in
their garage. Cosima is … surprised by
that. But a doctor or someone needs to
come and get the bot.
Sarah
tracks down Dizzy, and returns his phone.
He doesn’t want to talk to her, until she has him feel her cheek. She wants to know how to get in touch with MK
– even though they’re “sisters” it’s complicated – and he says that you don’t
find MK, she finds you. But he does have
a name for the guy in the video: Alonso Martinez.
Art
is watching the Beth videos, and sees Duko’s visit. Sarah shows up and she shows him the Martinez
video. He goes to the station to look
things up, and tells her to rest. She
does talk to Helena about the twins.
Helena says she doesn’t want them to grow up like her.
Mrs.
S. goes out to meet Benjamin who may have found a doctor to help Sarah. Cosima watches Kira, who is in some kind of
daze. When she comes out, she says she
was dreaming of all her aunties burning Sarah because she was changing.
Art
talks to Duko, just wondering why he visited Beth after the shooting.
Art
calls Sarah and tells her that Martinez flew into town for one day and got a
cab to go to a dentist. Sarah goes to
check it out and sneaks into the back.
One of the assistants sees her and thinks she’s Beth. Apparently Beth had visited before and
watched them implant someone. Sarah
tells the assistant that she was implanted, and needs someone to take it
out. The assistant reluctantly agrees to
help.
Mrs.
S. is waiting for Benjamin, but Ferdinand shows up. She isn’t all that happy with it. But then Art calls asking if she knows where
Sarah is because she isn’t answering. He
tells her about the dentist.
After
all the patients leave, the dental assistant takes Sarah back and gets her
mouth open. She then says she pierced
the bot and if Sarah moves it will kill her.
The assistant then says that when Beth first showed up, she was just to
misdirect her. But now that she’s come
back, she had to call in her bosses.
Then Ferdinand shows up. He kills
the assistant and tells Sarah that if the bot had been pierced, she’d be dead
already. He tells her he got a message
from Rachel saying Susan was alive.

Some
questions. What happened to Marion? What is up with Kira? Is Adele who she says she is?
I’ve
heard some theories that Alison telepathically sent Helena the names of her
workers, but that’s too far-fetched.
Maggotbots are one thing, telepathy is another. I think Helena was just bored and read all
she could about Alison.
