  1. Mrs. S probably feels entitled to Kira because she's been doing the actual work of raising Kira and being a mother to Kira while Sarah ran around conning people as well as doing and dealing drugs with Vic. At this point, who even knows what the legal status of the relationships are (if there is a legal status!). Also, Sarah hasn't demonstrated much ability to protect Kira whereas Mrs. S has successfully kept both Sarah and Kira off the Dyad radar for a long time. The Birdwatchers betrayed them, but Mrs. S. figured that out whereas Sarah had no clue that she was tracked to Cal's and to the church and to Swan Man's.
  2. Art hasn't exactly been a trustworthy partner to her either, though, and that's in part because he's been covering up the fact that both he and Beth did something wrong in the Maggie Chen shooting. Art also orders Angie to do and not do things even though he's not her superior, so of course there's no reason for her to listen to him. Maybe if he actually requested favors politely, she might listen. Or maybe not. Art seems to be a popular character, but he's a dirty cop. It's implied that he was covering for Beth while she was unfit for duty due to her drug problem, and we know that he helped her cover up that she shot Maggie Chen completely unprovoked (although he doesn't seem to know that she shot Maggie Chen intentionally). He actively coaches her to lie during her testimony. Angie's a much better cop, so if he doesn't trust her, it seems more that it's because he doesn't trust Angie to get dirty. That's not a bad thing in terms of Angie. At least based on what we know of her so far, Angie's probably the most morally clean character on the show right now (not counting Kira).
  3. I'm trying to remember what exactly Angie and Art know. I think Angie may still think that Sarah pushed Beth into the train. They know that an unidentified woman whose fingerprints matched Sarah's was murdered... and do I remember right that they know the murderer's DNA is a match? I think Angie believes Beth was killed and thus also thinks Sarah may have killed both Beth and the unidentified woman. Or did they identify Katja? Either way, it's not surprising that she believes Allison is important since it strains belief that there are at least four lookalikes with no connection to each other. This is all part of why I don't understand why Art doesn't just bring Angie in. She knows enough that she's obviously not going to drop the case given Beth's connection to it. She also knows enough of the weird parts that she's likely to come on board for the clone aspect. Two cop allies are more useful than one, and certainly more useful when the alternative is one cop ally and one cop antagonist. All of the complications with Vic would have been avoided (and while I know Vic is supposed to be an unsavory type who's done many bad things in the past, all I've seen on screen is Vic pine for Sarah and get beat-up, so I feel bad for him having Felix mess up his recovery just so Allison doesn't have to face consequences that I believe Allison deserves to face)
  4. To be fair to Delphine, she only briefly pretended to be someone she wasn't and Cosima knew the salient fact (that Delphine was her monitor) right away. So Cosima's getting screwed by Delphine is really Cosima's own trusting nature getting to her. It's like Allison got Cosima's dose of paranoia, so now Allison is leaping-to-conclusions insanely paranoid but Cosima is all continuous multiple chances. I think whichever poster suggested that Helena's embryo is going to end up the real stem cell cure is probably onto something. I don't see the show choosing to have Helena successfully gestate a baby, so either Gracie ends up impregnated with the embryos after all or I think the embryo(s) end up saving Kira's baby teeth. I like Cal, but I agree that the show needed to do more to justify his acceptance of Sarah given their past. Instead of falling into bed with her, he could have stayed cold and suspicious but tolerated her for Kira's sake. Instead of being all la di da about running away with Kira and accepting whatever crumbs of info Sarah tells him, he could have been angrier about the mess she brought into his life. I like him much better than Paul as a romance interest, but he is a little too unnaturally accepting. At the very least, he could have fought harder to take Kira into safekeeping with him.
  5. Paul and Rachel know about Cal and that Cal's probably Kira's father. We saw that in one of the previous episodes (I binge watched a bunch, so not sure which one) This may mean that Marian and general Dyad knows as well. That's one of my main problems with Sarah--she assumes she knows who knows what even though she should know that she doesn't. Daniel and Art both tracked her to Cal's, so she should know she has no clue who all may know about him. She may think she's protecting Cal by keeping the truth from him, but she's wrong. She's just leaving him at greater risk by giving him incomplete information. However, I did think the "you're a... Pisces" was a subtle exchange letting us know that Cal does suspect the truth, but was saving Sarah from having to talk about it. Why he's so nice to her, however, I'll never know. On a different subject, I hate Allison so much at this point that it's starting to take me out of the show. I get that her scenes are supposed to be black comedy to lighten things up from Cosima/Helena/Sarah emotionally heavy scenes, but it just doesn't work for me. The way she complained about Aynsley seeming to think of herself as better than Allison and her chirpy "I do feel better" after admitting to letting Aynsley die while Aynsley clawed at the counter and begged for her life came across as sociopathic to me. I had thought the show was going for a storyline of Allison repressing her guilt that was eventually going to culminate in character growth, but now I'm just not sure. At this point, I want all the bad things for Allison. She is a hideous, self-centered person, who does not deserve Donnie, custody of her kids, or support from Clone Club. I do still hope character growth actually happens, and she admits that she's caused almost all of her own problems by leaping to conclusions and making rash, life changing choices based on them. I also want her to admit that Aynsley was a good person and a good friend, whose only "crime" was daring to see that Allison was falling apart and trying to help as best she could. I want Allison to recognize that she's responsible for kids losing their mother and people losing a friend. I also want her to admit that she kept significant, important secrets from Donnie and that she is as, or more, responsible for the problems in her marriage. I need her to make some kind of sacrifice to atone for what she's done and the problems she's caused. Also, just once, I want Sarah and Felix to stop enabling Allison's paranoia. I wish they had pointed out that she had no idea whether Dyad's ever even probed her, much less whether Donnie was involved with it. For all we and Allison know, what happened with Sarah was a unique occurrence because Dyad was wondering whether she was a clone impostor rather than being Beth.
