“Governed
as It Were by Chance”
(Spoilers)
It
was Cal who crashed into Sarah and Daniel.
Sarah is banged up, but okay.
They think Daniel is dead. Sarah
grabs his phone and gun, but Cal points out it was used to kill a cop, so she
tosses the gun back into the car. They
cover the car with some branches and flee.
Cal had hidden Kira near his camper that isn’t in his name. And they take off. At first Sarah says he shouldn’t be involved,
but he points out that Tom was his friend.
Alison
wakes up in a strange place with her arm in a sling. At first she thinks she’s been taken by
Leekie, but then a nurse comes in and tells her she’s in rehab. Felix shows up and says that it may be the
best thing for her. Later, Donnie shows
up and tells her that according to their lawyer, if she leaves before the
program finishes, she could lose custody of their kids.
Art
is still taking photos of the farm, which bother’s Bonnie a bit. Gracie smothers Helena, but Helena fakes
being dead so she leaves. Helena then
knocks out Gracie. She goes around the
barn and finds Henrik’s lab. She has
flashes of what happened to her there.
She then runs away, still in her wedding dress, right past Art. He manages to slow down Mark and the guys
chasing her by asking if they have permits for their guns on public property.
Sarah
texts Rachel as Daniel saying that they are returning. So there should be a few hours before Rachel
starts looking for them. Sarah calls
Cosima and tells her everything and shows her the Project Leda photo. Cosima tells her the legend of Zeus
disguising himself as a swan to seduce Queen Leda.
Cosima figures this all must have started as a military project.
Mrs.
S. pays a visit to Benjamin, who swears he had nothing to do with the
Birdwatchers turning on her. She wants
new papers to go to London to meet Carlton, a former lover and the man who
brought her Sarah, but Benjamin knows that he was already in town. Mrs. S. gets together with him, and she asks
to meet with someone because she knows what Sarah is and if Sarah keeps
digging, a “world of shit” will come out.
Knowing
that Mrs. S. is hiding something, Sarah decides to go back to the city. She leaves Kira with Cal in the camper and
goes to search Mrs. S’s house with Felix.
They find a newspaper clipping of a lab accident that killed some
scientists. Two of them are Ethan and
Susan Duncan, who match the scientists in the photo and are likely Rachel’s adoptive
parents. Felix takes all of this to
Cosima, while Sarah – who using Daniel’s phone knew that Rachel would be gone
until the morning – decides to break into Rachel’s hotel suite. Unknown to them is that Helena had been hiding
in the closet.
Sarah
pretends to be Rachel on the phone to have the concierge go into her suite to
set the temperature and all that. Sarah
sneaks in behind him. Cosima calls
saying she’s looked up the Duncan’s and goes on this theory that Rachel was
probably raised to be a dispassionate business being. But Sarah finds old family tapes showing a
young Rachel playing with her parents.
Daniel
– who wasn’t dead – then shows up. He is
Rachel’s monitor/boyfriend. He calls
Leekie telling him he’ll get Sarah. He
finds Sarah and captures her. He starts
torturing her to find out what she knows about Project Leda and because he
wants to. But then Helena comes in and
kills him. Sarah is ... terrified,
confused, shocked, and a few other emotions by Helena in her bloody wedding
dress.
The
episode ends with Henrik showing that one of Helena’s eggs has divided.

When
I rewatched this episode I realized that Helena is most interesting when she is
covered in blood. In the first season
there’s when Sarah stabs her with the rebar, this season she’s in a bloody
wedding dress, and there’s a great scene in the Third Season.
When
I first reviewed this, I was curious who would be having Helena’s baby. I wondered if it would be Gracie and if she
would be given a choice, or would they just drug her and impregnate her. It is a crazy cult, after all. I thought it would be interesting to see how
Gracie felt about all this given how much she disliked Helena. Silly me thinking this show would do
something that simple.
