After last week's episode, I thought they were going to kill Kira as a catalyst between Helena and Sarah. It would have been a cheap move, and wouldn't have had the gut punch they would have been expecting. Luckily, they didn't go down that route. Also, they don't just save Kira's life in some unbelievable way, they set it up as a plot thread. I thought that it was overall a really great way to handle it.

After that, the episode just continues to get better and better. Alison is confronted about her recent behavior in an intervention style meeting, and she ends up having a rant that reminded me a lot of Tyrion's trial from Game Of Thrones. It was a great performance moment from Tatiana Maslany.

Speaking of which, the situation between Cosima and Delphine reaches a head. This was a painful scene, but I still think that this is the weakest story thread overall. The police finally put the pieces together. Tensions between Sarah, Helena, and the warring religious and scientific organizations continue to rise. It looks like everything is coming to a head next episode.

It's heartbreaking to see Sarah worrying about her daughter and luckily Alison is there to lighten the tone of the episode by cleaning up Felix's disgusting apartment and participating in a funny intervention. Cosima reacts strongly to Delphine's betrayal even though she knew she was her monitor I guess because she had little hope that she was wrong or that Delphine would not report information to Leekie. Throughout the series we are led to believe that Kira has powers, now physical and later almost prescient, that are never explained, which to me is one of the few weaknesses of the series. When Art watches Beth's suicide and realizes he's been dealing with Sarah Manning for a long time, it is one of my favorite scenes from the first season. The new character with the bay windows is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and mysterious of "Orphan Black". Finally, the revelation is announced: Helena and Sarah have a connection since they are even closer than clones; they are twins.

This episode begins with Sarah, she just saw that Kira has been hit by a car. Kira has been brought to the hospital, she is heavily wounded. Paul tells to Sarah that Dr. Leekie knows who she is. Delphine kissed Cosima. Sarah has a meeting with Aldous. Art discovered that Beth is Sarah Manning. Sarah let Helena free out of Tomas his hideout. Helena fights with Tomas. Sarah locked up Tomas in a cage. Sarah tied up Helena. Nice episode of Orphan Black Season 1, great story development. Sarah's mystery finally got revealed. How will this Season end?
