Orphan Black 3x09: Insolvent Phantom of Tomorrow



It's always fun to watch how London is portrayed in American tv shows. When Siobhan, Sarah and Felix return to London the usual beer egg and chips and south londoners are all present and correct. After the 'interesting' Irish accent of last year it's not too bad. The return home affords an opportunity to discover the background of Siobhan. Not only do we see her sing but it transpires that her mother, Kendall Malone, is the original Castor and Leda.

Events are also heating up back at Dyad with the revelation that Shay might be a spy. This leads to the brilliant moment when Delphine attempts to kill Shay and then changes her mind when Cosima calls after discovering that Gracie was the traitor. It's good that the writers chose not to go down the predictable route with Shay. Quite how badly this will impact on their relationship remains to be seen. 

The relatively tame sub plot of the Hendrix Family starts to escalate as Pouchy attempts to procure the drugs and ends up taking Helena's frozen eggs. This leads to the hilarious team up of Donnie and Helena. The scene of Helena pretending to be Alison is funny. Ultimately Helena reverts back to her killing ways. 

It's good to see that everyone's sub plot is escalating. Let's hope that everything is tied up nice and neatly in the final episode. 

9/10
