Orphan Black: Season 2, Episode 7 “Knowledge of Causes, and Secret Motion of Things” (B+)
We didn’t even see Helena or the Proletheans in this episode, but it was still firing on all cylinders. Alison got to be the central focus, providing the opportunity for some comedy and for Sarah to have to pretend to be Alison, ambushed into role playing with Donnie about their relationship in front of a room full of people. Donnie opening the door on Sarah and Alison standing in the room together revealed just how little he knew, and his subsequent actions indicated that he really didn’t think he was doing anything wrong. Obviously Dr. Leekie didn’t think much of him, however, and the way he spoke to him made the accidental firing of the gun less of a freak accident and more like karma with Donnie caught as the unfortunate perpetrator. Hopefully he’ll turn to Alison for help since I don’t suspect that he’d have an easy time covering up a murder. Dr. Leekie really was dead anyway, because the head start Rachel gave him wouldn’t have gotten him far. Michelle Forbes’ Marion is likely to be a major player now, though we know that she has even less sympathy for Sarah than Rachel does. That doesn’t bode well for Cosima, though Kira’s noble offering up of her tooth may help guide things in the right direction. The threat that was Vic was effectively neutralized, though it seems to me that Felix could have simply called up his new best friend Art and asked him to talk to Angie and tell her to back off.
