Belt Buckle visits Gracie in preggo prison, and tries to sell her on the whole “divine maternity” deal. Helena calls him out for claiming to love her but allowing her to be a brood mare. BB says the women of the compound don’t see it that way, because obvs he can speak for all women all the time. Gracie turns away from him and refuses to talk.
Rachel and Marion meet in Leekie’s old office and do that awkward air kiss hello thing. They talk about Delphine’s appointment as Brand New Leekie, and Rachel tells her that Delphine has all the qualities they need: she’s smart, she’s telegenic, and she’s banging a clone.
Marion wants to know how Rachel is holding up with all the daddy drama, but Rachel assures her that she’s on her game. Marion wants to acquire Sarah, and Rachel tells her she’s in hand.
After their meeting, Rachel goes into a private room, has a martini, and watches her home videos on a wall-size TV screen. She laughs, she cries, she seems to have a breakdown.
She then changes the image to a large photo of Sarah and Kira. This cannot be good.
Delphine meets with Rachel and tells her that the bone marrow is processing for the transplant. Rachel gives her the keys to Leekie’s office, and leaves to take a phone call. While she’s on the phone, Delphine peeks at Rachel’s laptop and sees a photo of Ben the Watcher in a confidential file. He’s a Dyad mole!
Back at the baby farm, Helena starts getting dressed. Gracie wakes up, and Helena tells her that she’s running away. Helena tells Gracie that she’s a good girl, but if she doesn’t want to have her babies then she shouldn’t have to.
Gracie is over this misogynistic bullshit and wants to run away with Helena.
Hank shows up to stop them with a shotgun, but Helena tells him she’s not afraid and neither is Gracie. Hank tells Gracie that her mother went out west to round up some more brood mares (gross) and he knocks Helena out with the shotgun.
Hank then drags Gracie into a cell and locks her in. Belt Buckle shows up and is appalled that Hank would treat his daughter this way. He is also pissed that he didn’t get to father Gracie’s miracle babies.
Before Hank can respond, Helena jumps on his back and starts attacking him. Belt Buckle frees Gracie and Helena tells them to run away while she chokes out Hank. Those two crazy kids make a run for it while Helena wrestles Hank to the ground.
Back at Casa Hendrix, Donnie and Alison bury Leekie’s body in the garage and fill in the hole with cement. Donnie draws a heart in the wet cement, because romance.
Alison is crazy turned on and they start making out, culminating in them fucking on the freezer. Alison wants to do it “nasty”, which is unfortunate for us because we are exposed to Donnie’s bare butt. These two weirdos are starting to make sense as a couple for me.
Hank wakes up to find himself tied to an examining table, his legs in stirrups. Dr. Helena has an enormous inseminator in hand and a pipe in her mouth. She shoves the inseminator up Hank’s ass and he screams. Helena’s warped sense of justice prevails yet again.
Helena runs away and watches the farm burn to the ground. Goodbye Prolethians and goodbye Hank!
Sarah is in recovery with Kira when Mrs. S tells her that Delphine is outside. Sarah gets into a car with Delphine who tells her that Ben is a mole. She tells Sarah to keep calm, but instead Sarah runs back into the hospital.
Sarah tells Mrs. S that Rachel is making some kind of move and they have to leave. Sarah wakes up Felix and Kira and tells them they aren’t safe. Just then, Felix gets a phone call from Sarah… and gets a needle in the throat!
It’s not Sarah… it’s Rachel in disguise! Holy Shyamalan twist, you guys! The real Sarah runs back upstairs, but Kira and Rachel are already gone. They’ve been had.
Delphine returns to Dyad and cries to Cosima that she’s made a terrible mistake. Looks like everyone got played by Rachel. Kira wakes up in an all-pink girl’s room watched over by Rachel. Kira asks for Sarah and Mrs. S, but Rachel tells her that this is her new home.
She says that Kira will get used to it and maybe grow to like it there, just like she did. Has Rachel gone off the deep end? Is she going to make Kira her daughter? What the actual fuck is going on?!
Tune in next week for the season finale, where all/none of these questions will be answered!

I for one am quite troubled by the sudden (re)appearance of Admiral Cain into the Orphanverse.
If Kira can derail assassin Helena’s kidnapping plans in season 1, why can she melt Rachel’s ice heart and derail this kidnapping plan in season 2? She is magical after all.
The pig noises get me every time.
The midwife was Kathryn Alexandre AKA the other half of the clone magic on this show! She’s who Tatiana acts against and has been in every episode. This is the first time her face has been on screen though. :)
Bob Corbitt >>>> Hank The Inseminator
That scene with Helena inseminating him was fucking horrifying, omigod who comes up with this shit
Nice to see Tatiana’s double Kathryn Alexandre getting some actual screen time where her face is on a character :)
Is anyone else suddenly really rooting for Alison and Donnie? It looks like their shared tendency for accidentally killing people is bringing them together again.
In other news, Prolethian Science Cowboy is the worst but I found Helena’s revenge scene very disturbing.
Helena is gonna fuck shit up when she finds out Rachel took Kira
Hey Chelsea… I think you owe me a new tablet. I completely spit all over mine with a mouth full of apple juice when I read the “CTRL ATL DELETE” caption. I’m rewatching it just so that I can get to that part and visualize clicking restart. Can you at least write a disclaimer at the beginning stating liquids should not be placed in close proximity of electronics when reading these recaps?!?
BTW… This episode made me love Helena and Donnie even more!
Chelsea FTW! I’m usually not a “joiner.” I mostly bask in the clever/wittiness of all AS contributors. I’ve commented probably less than a handful of times however, I can no longer keep in just how on par your recaps are with my own feels/reactions. Keep up the amazing work! *just, please don’t make me wait for two episodes in a row to pass before getting to read recaps because they have become like crack to me. Thanks!
“…the show where dead body disposal is the ultimate aphrodisiac for suburban parents!”
I believe Desperate Housewives might have pioneered this.
I, too, came here to process my feelings about possibly liking Donnie now. WHAT IS GOING ON.
I have been an avid reader of Autostraddle TV recaps for a couple of years and have never been compelled to sign up for an account and comment, but this post sent me over the edge. Pure comedic genius. I laughed out loud and scared my dog half a dozen times during my reading of this recap. I love this show, but your recaps have pushed my clone love into the arena of obsession. I now need to go back and rewatch all episodes so I can read your recaps. Great stuff.
