Orphan Black: Season 2, Episode 3 “Mingling Its Own Nature with It” (B+)
It continues to astound me how many layers there are to this show, with Daniel spying on Henrik’s operation while chasing after Sarah while Angela approached Alison, who promptly distrusted her because she thought she was a new monitor. This episode didn’t feature much of Sarah interacting with either the Neolutionists or the Proletheans, but she did have the chance to see someone much more unexpected: Kira’s father. Michiel Huisman, the bad boy philadendarer from “Nashville” and “Treme,” is a great choice to play Cal, among the more apparently trustworthy and kindhearted people to appear on this show. Though Sarah clearly took advantage of him, he was quick to forgive her and even to jump back into bed with her. With Felix back at home to support his other clone friend Alison, Cal is now going to have to play father right away to his daughter since Sarah has been taken by Daniel, who made himself seem like a real bad guy by killing a cop. It’s hard to know who is the latest person to interfere and smash their car into Daniel’s, but I’m sure it will prove worthwhile to find out. Seeing the video of new clone Jennifer was haunting, and it puts Cosima’s fate in grim perspective. The Prolethean ritual had a very creepy vibe to it, and there’s something to be said for making Helena seem like the most normal one in the room. “We are your instruments in the war for creation” was definitely the choice quote of the episode.
