Orphan Black - Season 3, Episode 04: Newer Elements of Our Defense
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.
"Newer Elements of Our Defense" was a necessary episode... but if I never have to watch Helena create a key out of a chicken bone and then stab someone in the brain with a scalpel, it'll be too soon.
This week's Orphan Black turned out to be one of the more entertaining of the season so far, as Sarah and Mark reluctantly teamed up to discover a potential key to curing the Castor clone defect.
Perhaps surprising to no one, but if this were a contest, Helena's corner of the world would once again take the lead this week, for more than one reason.
Until proven otherwise, each new twist must be treated as a cheap cliffhanger, rather than a concerted effort to push the plot toward a satisfying conclusion.
