This episode felt like the polar opposite of the last one. That one was full of long separate story lines meeting. This one, on the other hand, felt somewhat disjointed. The police investigate the deaths, the blond clone (I finally learned her name; Helena) is sent to kill Sarah, Cosima continues to investigate the professor, Paul gets interrogated about Beth, and Felix investigates a techno genetic enhancement bar. If that sounds to you like a whole lot of disconnected things, then you'd be right. There were also some moments that felt very silly compared to what we've been given so far. The techno bar, the tail, and Helena's performance in particular felt strange in a disappointing way. The one part of the episode I really liked was the scene with Mrs. S. Her monologue about what she did to protect Sarah felt very real and emotional. This episode sets a lot of things up, and turns out weaker, but it looks like the next one is going to be REALLY neat.
