“Clutch
of Greed”
(This
is late because of day job.)
(Spoilers)
Sarah
wakes up at Dyad from a vision of Kira.
Ferdinand is there saying Rachel wants to talk. He then shows her video calls from Alison and
Cosima who tell Sarah that things are … okay.
Sarah
meets with Rachel who wants her help with taking Kira in for occasional
testing. Sarah isn’t happy with
that. Rachel says that she and
Westmoreland want an end to the “war.” Mrs. S. and Kira are brought in, who
tell Sarah that, basically, they don’t have a choice.
Alison
is at home, but Maddy won’t let her go until they find Helena. Art is stuck with her.
Helena
is in the hospital and doing fine. They
took out the branch, which injured one of her babies. But when they do an ultrasound to see how
things are before proceeding, the injury is gone.
In
Revival, Cosima and Charlotte are eating when they see Aisha, the girl from
Afghanistan that Delphine told Cosima about.
So she introduces herself and examines her. She finds out the girl has some type of
cancer. Then the Messenger comes in and
tells her that Westmoreland wants to see her.
Sarah,
Kira, and Mrs. S. go home to Mrs. S’s, and Felix is there. They then tell Sarah that they’re working on
a plan to get away from Rachel. But
first, Kira has to go to school, with the understanding that Rachel will pick
her up for her first Dyad visit. The
house is being watched, but Felix sneaks out to set things up.
Felix
goes to the comic shop to try to get Ira on their side against Rachel. Since Rachel stabbed Susan, he’s fine with
that. Scott has new phones, and he tells
Felix that they found MK. She’s at
Felix’s. He goes home and then webcams
with Sarah. MK tells her that she’s been
sick. She also tells her that she’s been
watching Dyad, who is recruiting subjects so they can restart cloning. Since Rachel’s people are watching Mrs. S’s,
people, MK – who’s been hiding for a long time – offers to help get Sarah and
Kira away.
Mud
walks Cosima to Westmoreland’s, saying that she talks with him all the
time. Cosima asks who she is, but Mud
doesn’t answer. Cosima goes into
Westmoreland’s study, which has a lot of old specimens and antiques. There’s a picture of him with Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle from 1894. Westmoreland
comes in and he looks like a seventy year old.
Westmoreland
tells Cosima that her test results are good, and it appears that her cure is
underway. Westmoreland offers to let her
continue working, after she cures the Leda sisters. Cosima asks what the point of it all is. He tells her she’ll have full access to the
lab, and maybe someday she’ll figure it all out.
Helena
– worried that the doctors will take her babies because they healed, like Kira
did after getting hit by a car – assaults the doctor and escapes. Before that, she told Donnie where she was
going, but that he was to only tell Sarah.
Rachel
– because of her meeting with Westmoreland – is now, a little neo-hippie, which
doesn’t suit Ferdinand. But they leave
to pick up Kira. Sarah and gang also set
out to pick up Kira. But if they go through
MK’s plan, they can never come back.
Sarah
– dressed as Rachel – goes to the school and gets Kira out of class. She then lets Rachel’s men follow her, while
she passes Kira off to Mrs. S. They get
away, but then Felix tells Sarah that MK is still at his place. She goes to get her, and Ferdinand – who had
split off from Rachel – sees and follows her.
Sarah
finds MK, who is tired of running. MK
changes clothes with Sarah, and stays while Sarah goes to be with Kira. Before she goes, MK tells Sarah that
Westmoreland’s story doesn’t add up. She
tried tracking him online, but he’s hard to trace. Ferdinand breaks in, and since MK is the last
Leda clone from Helsinki, she stole his money, and is now dressed like Rachel,
he almost gleefully kills her.
Sarah
is trying to get Kira into a van to go away, but Kira can no longer feel MK,
and knows that she’s dead. She doesn’t
want to go away, and instead wants to stay to work with Rachel to figure out
what she is.
Rachel
asks Simon (Mr. Frontenac) to see to MK’s body and to show Ferdinand out. Kira
goes off with Rachel for her first Dyad visit, and Ira is sent to the island.
That
night, Mrs. S. hears a knock on the door.
It’s Delphine. Sarah can’t know
that she’s there, but she needs to tell Mrs. S. something.

I
think the last Leda clone to die was Jennifer, the one Delphine and Cosima autopsied
in Season 2. Which makes me angry to
think that MK was killed off just to raise the level of tension for the last
season. I mean, if they wanted to do
that, why not just kill Krystal? My
favorite clones are Cosima, Helena, MK, Rachel (you need a good villain), all
the rest, then Krystal. As far as I’m
concerned, killing MK is the worst point in the series.
Given
how Ferdinand felt about Neos at the end of Season Three, and how we never got
a definitive answer on how he felt about Rachel signing on with the Neos at the
end of Season Four, I did wonder if maybe he was going to side with Sarah. He was a fun and interesting character, but
after killing MK, he needs to die. I
mean, yes, Helena killed a bunch of he sisters, but now everything’s cool, but
Ferdinand isn’t blood, so I don’t see any reconciliation coming.
I
wonder if Mud is Westmoreland’s daughter.
Maybe she’s fifty, or something.
We’ll see.
I
wasn’t entirely sure about this 170 year old character, but after seeing him I’m
cautiously optimistic.
Something
to keep in mind about Westmoreland are the beheaded swan visions he gave to
Rachel. What exactly was the point? And why didn’t he just meet and talk things
over with her? I wonder if that will be
addressed.
