Orphan Black - Season 3, Episode 05: Scarred by Many Past Frustrations
Trailer
An orphan gets caught up in a deadly conspiracy after learning that she is a clone. Just as Sarah and her clone sisters were beginning to piece together the complex conspiracy behind the shadowy Dyad Institute, the discovery of Project Castor – a top-secret military project producing highly-trained male clones – throws their lives back into turmoil.
As a whole, the episode works to streamline its various stories... but the result still ends up feeling oddly listless and meandering, with a string of new developments that appear only to set the show up for further disappointment.
The final act of "Scarred by Many Past Frustrations," which, as it happens, is an appropriate description for viewers who've struggled to connect with Orphan Black this season, is nothing less than a salve.
The highlight of this episode was the breakout itself, as the girls worked together to escape -- that is until Helena betrayed Sarah, declaring them "even" -- although it remains to be seen if she'll actually leave her there.
