Season finales of television shows always have a tendency to throw everything in to up the stakes. History Yet to Be Written is no different. Now that Sarah and Siobhan have Kendall Malone, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to get them. This included Castor, Dyad and even the Neolutionists.
Since their debut in Series 1, the Neolutionists have faded into the background while other powers have emerged. Dr Nealon proves to be a particularly vicious member as he attacks Delphine. The reveal of the Neolutionists also brings in some unlikely allies when Ferdinand kills off a Neolutionist spy. It's a somewhat amusing if gory scene.
While Coady searches for Malone, Rudy goes after Alison and has an encounter with Helena. This is a fight worth waiting for. Helena is unsurprisingly the victor, but it is a punishment to Rudy that was well worth coming.
Kendall Malone's capture also allows for some poignant moments, when she and her daughter, Siobhan get to find out more about each other, and understand more details of John Sadler's death.
The episode ends with everyone getting together to dine at Bubbles. It's not quite as memorable as the clone dance of Series 2, but it is fun to see all of the cast, including Donnie and Art, together.
Just as Series 2 ended with a big revelation that male clones existed, Series 3 ends with the revelation that Susan Duncan has survived. Professor Duncan said that she had been killed by neolutionists but it appears that she may have defected to work with them.
Series 3 has the happiest endings. Sarah being reunited with Kira is touching while Helena appears to be getting a better life. However it is tinged with sadness as Delphine tries to set things right before her death. We also know of the looming danger that Susan Duncan may pose. Series Three has generally been quite good and I look forward to seeing what direction it goes in next time, assuming that BBC3 actually put the next series on soon.
