Orphan Black: Season 2, Episode 9 “Things Which Have Never Yet Been Done” (B+)
With just one episode left this season, it’s appropriate that this installment sets things in a frightening new direction while tying up a few loose ends that have been unfolding throughout the past eight episodes. Most crucially, Angie tries to use Vic again to detrimental effect, and, in the process of burying a body together, Alison and Donnie actually managed to be closer to each together than ever before, with Donnie displaying some bad boy courage and Alison loosening up a lot thanks to this new side of her husband. Helena’s stay at the religious colony didn’t last long, and as she’s demonstrated before, wronging her is a sin punishable by something worse than death, namely injecting things that are not supposed to be injected in the most painful of ways. I’m not sure what comes next for year, but I like that she got to play the role of protector to those who couldn’t stand up for themselves in this hour. Rachel, unsurprisingly, has some issues of her own, and playing the part of Sarah to steal Kira and bring her to her childhood home was dirty but enormously effective. Delphine is clearly on the right side, but that doesn’t help too much if Sarah is without Kira. I imagine there will be a major showdown in the finale, and though the show hasn’t officially been renewed, I have little doubt that it will be soon, and hopefully the creative people behind it will decide that this show should go on for more than just the three seasons they initially planned.
