“Transitory
Sacrifices of Crisis”
(Spoilers)
Rudy
picks up a girl – Patty – and takes her back to his hotel room. They start having sex, when Seth joins
them. Rudy explains that they were
taught to share.
The
next day Paul shows up at Rudy and Seth’s room to administer a test of word
associations and videos of their eyes.
Rudy passes, but Seth has problems.
Paul them gives them their orders on getting back to base. Rudy wonders if the orders came from
“Mother,” Virginia.
Art
is back on the job and has taken Patty’s case.
He calls Sarah who shows up when Art is taking her home. She pretends to be Beth, and gets Patty to
talk a bit. She explains that they copied
down the details from her license in a book and took a hair sample. Art really doesn’t like that Sarah did that,
but he does tell her that Rudy and Seth have the same tattoo of a two headed
horse.
Nealon
sets up a meeting with Cosima. She’s
doing better, but she needs to get back in the lab. At the meeting, she and Scott ask if the
original sample was truly lost. Nealon
explains that the Duncans brought the female and male genomes to Dyad from the
military, but never revealed the original sources.
At a
soccer game, Ramon – Alison’s old drug and arms dealer – shows up. He says that he’s closing his business and
going to college. Alison figures she and
Donnie could take over his business. Alison
cashes out their retirement plan, and they make a deal and buy all of Ramon’s
product as well as his client list. Most
of whom, will be voters in the election.
Helena
is being waterboarded by Castor clone Miller and a bunch of other military
guys. They take blood samples to see how
it changes under stress. But they’re
stopped by Virginia who comes in saying Helena is pregnant.
Mrs.
S. feels she’s failed. Felix talks her
back into her game of mysterious contacts.
While
waiting to be picked up, Seth starts glitching; there’s pain in his head and he
starts punching a car. He gets a call
from Rudy who says he’s not going back to base, but finishing their mission,
which was to find the original genome from Ethan. Rudy breaks into Felix’s and starts searching
for clues.
Cosima
and Cal, separately, start looking up two headed horses and Castor. Apparently the tattoo is for a black ops
unit. Cosima suggests Sarah talk to Mrs.
S. to get in touch with Paul, but Sarah doesn’t like that idea. But she eventually visits with Mrs. S. who
tells her that Paul has gone dark. She
also tells Sarah that she needs to take Kira away for safety. Sarah doesn’t want to hear that.
One
of the soldiers runs the same kinds of tests on Helena, although she is more
interested in getting food, pissing off Miller, and talking to Pupok than
taking a test. Virginia comes in and
takes Helena for a talk. Virginia
explains the Castors came to her when they were very young. She also tells Helena that it was Sarah who
sold her out.
Cal
is still unpacking his new house he bought to be closer to Sarah and Kira when
Paul breaks in and they have a talk about Sarah and Dyad. Paul reveals that he knows some dark secret
of Cal’s. He also tells him that Sarah
needs to stop digging, or things will go bad and that Cal needs to take her
away.
Cal
tries to call Sarah – who has Kira at Felix’s – but she doesn’t hear her
phone. Rudy captures Kira. He asks if Ethan gave Sarah tissue samples of
the Castor original, but isn’t happy when she doesn’t know anything. Cal shows up, only to be stopped by
Seth. They start to fight, but Seth
starts glitching and screaming. Rudy
runs downstairs to see what’s happening to him, leaving Kira behind. Rudy sees Seth, and shoots him to end his
suffering. He then takes Seth’s
notebook, and leaves.
Cal
– with the help of Mrs. S’s contacts – takes Kira to Iceland to hide her from
all of this.
The
only one they know who might lead them to Castor is Mark, so Sarah starts
looking for him. He and Gracie are in a
motel, and he’s – literally – burning off his tattoo.
