Ferdinand promptly smashes his subordinate’s head in, and makes a huge fuss about getting him into the acid bath prepared for Kendall Malone. When Delphine calls Sarah to tell her that there are internal connections to Neolution within Dyad she surprisingly tells Ferdinand, no questions asked. It’s simple, and sad, but at least she killed him in a fair fight, she has grown a lot this season. In a search for a weak link in the Clone Club, Rudy encounters Helena, and she kills him. We don’t learn what he does with her, so maybe she will turn up next season. Using Mark, they convince Victoria that they have Helena in a secure location and lure her to an area where Ferdinand meets up with her. Meanwhile, Sarah and S make a deal with Ferdinand to get rid of Castor. Delphine shoots him, and he promises she will die within twenty-four hours. Delphine and the doctor struggle, and we even see a grub of some sort come out of his mouth. After Delphine learns that Rachel in the hospital bed in Dyad is actually Crystal, the doctor reveals that he has worked for Neolution all along. We first see Rachel alone in a room with a new prosthetic eye/camera. Ferdinand also made a prominent appearance and we lost a major character in this episode. We got a significant callback to the earliest season with Neolution and Leekie in this episode, something that hasn’t come up at all this season. We spent a lot of time focused on Castor and the threat it posed to the Clone Club, but once Sarah and S had their hands on Kendall Malone, the original genome, Castor didn’t seem to matter.

However, as the episode made a lot of big moves for the show as a whole, it seemed disconnected from the season overall. This episode left me with so many questions that only makes me want the fourth season immediately. What a thrilling end to the third season of Orphan Black.
