(Side note: How did we get here so quickly?!)
Helena
So much of this episode was dedicated to Helena, both her past and her present.
“You don’t know how special you are,” he tells her.

When Mark asks about Gracie, Coady lies that after the twins are born, she’ll join them.
Helena is taken into a makeshift operating room in what looks like an empty warehouse.
He’s completely bald underneath.
While they wait for Helena to go into labor, P.T.
tells Coady it’s time to cut ties with old liabilities, a.k.a.
get rid of Mark.
When Coady argues that he’s the sole remaining Castor, P.T.
is less than sympathetic to the fate of her male clone progeny.
“The future is female!”
Once she does it and sees the woman’s face, she’s shaken.
Thus begins Helena carving wings into her back.
Present-day Helena begs Coady to spare her and her babies, knowing P.T.
took Coady’s away.
But Coady replies by noting that Helena was abandoned at birth and murdered her fellow clones.
“What kind of mother could you possibly be?”
she asks her, quietly and cruelly.
First, she uses them to have a go at cut through her restraints.
With that, she takes the pilfered scissors and jams them into her wrist.
(I once again revive my battle cry: SAVE HELENA/SAVE HER BABIES.)
Oh look, another clone is here!
That makes things easy.
“You are s mother,” she tells her.
But just as they go to make their escape, Helena’s water breaks.
“Babies coming.”
Great timing, kiddos!
“Just remember my loves, death is nothing at all,” she wrote.
I promise we will laugh at this difficult parting when we meet again.
How the mighty have fallen.
Sarah calls and warns Art that Kira senses Helena is in trouble and the babies are coming.
Sarah will then have to keep P.T.
busy (and keep him from killing her) while the others storm in and stage a rescue.
If Sarah can keep him ranting, she adds, they might have a chance to get in.
He flips off the eyepatch and the blond wig.
Like I said before, convenient!
Cosima argues that she’s trying to be strong for Kira.
“She always has to be strong,” says Alison.
“It’s not right, it’s not right.”
Additional genetic material
Does anyone else want Art’s turkey chili recipe?
Sarah walking through the house in a daze and finding memories of S throughout just gutted me.
Kira lost her grandmother and is understandably devastated, but Sarah lost her mum, too.
“You’re sitting in my chair” Sarah-as-Rachel, to P.T.
“Goodnight, mom” Mark’s last words, to Coady.
He wasn’t my favorite character, but he deserved better than this.
Another casualty of Coady and P.T.
