Orphan Black - Season 3, Episode 09: Insolvent Phantom of Tomorrow
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.
Welp, instead of getting right back into the crazy Rachel/Krystal swap from last episode's cliffhanger, we travel to London with Sarah, Felix and Mrs. S. But, I wasn't too disappointed, because we got lots more answers to the original Castor questions.
That the episode contains a few bright spots, namely Helena's imitation of Alison... is scarce comfort, for the bones of the series have already been whittled down almost to nothing.
This week, Orphan Black Season 3 Episode 9 finally delivered on the question raised at the beginning of the season. Who are the original DNA donors for Project Leda and Castor? The answer was something you probably never saw coming!
Tonight's fast-paced "Insolvent Phantom of Tomorrow" gave viewers a lot of reveals, all while doing what the show does best - pulling us farther down the rabbit hole.
Although there were fun moments (Mrs. S taking the stage, good times with Helena and Donnie), this week was a rather dark installment that happened to take a strange turn heading into next week.
