Fingers crossed for everyone that she's no longer in whack-a-clone mode. Helena's a very good listener and we saw her pick up on what Amelia said last season. When she was hiding in Mrs S's house last episode, she heard everyone's names and could quite well work out how to find the others now if she wanted.

Interesting how even though Rachel calls Helena (and presumably Sarah) "Animals!" under her breath when picking through the wreckage of her apartment, she doesn't blink an eye about the fact Daniel murdered a police officer and she wants Paul to frame Felix for it. Quite the cognitive dissonance up and running there.

Well, it was the following morning so a few hours could have passed since Sarah and Helena left Rachel's apartment. I'd buy that she could recover from at least the worst of the shock by then.

I don't think I've ever seen a show quite like this, where every single character is so clearly out of their depth. Sarah, not for the first time nearly met her end in particularly messy fashion last week and once again was lucky to be extricated from it. In fact, since she stumbled into this whole situation, she's

She'll totally levitate it to her level by being on it, I think.

To be fair to Paul, he hasn't passed the Agent Ward Moral Event Horizon just yet.

Wow, that's kind of ironic especially given your user name.

That'll teach Neil Patrick Harris to steal their truck.

Which Clone Are You Quiz.

Next Week on Orphan Black.

I'm hoping someone suitably deserving gets Zerg Rushed by the clones. At the moment, my vote is on Donnie. Barring extremely good mitigating circumstances, he's earned an even more rude awakening than the last one he had.

Full marks to whomever called that Alison and Vic could end up colliding in rehab by the way. Recommendations on stock tips and horse races also welcome.

In fairness to her, she's had a wacko upbringing like Helena. I think they need to get her away from that environment. On a more pragmatic level, if they can turn her, she could be quite a valuable asset. Zealots make the best converts after all.

I would recommend avoiding a film called "Ichi the Killer" then as they go about ten thousand miles beyond that. Actually, it might be advisable to approach any Takashi Miike film with caution.

Another so far missed opportunity for further hilarity is that the Ukrainian and Russian word for brother is брат (pronounced more or less like 'brat').

Amazing how the show can keep changing our opinion on people, especially in turning people you want to die in a fire become sympathetic and you want to see more of.

I saw that Yahoo interview with the excellent makeup artists a few days ago and I especially loved this quote comparing Helena and Alison.

I can't believe no-one's brought up that the real name of the actress who plays Gracie is Zoé De Grand Maison, which is quite possibly the greatest name in the history of television.

I'm liking Helena more each week. Full marks for despite her upbringing, her manners seem impeccable. They just need to work on the table manners and the urge to spit on people after stabbing them and they're set.

Looks like I got part of my wish. Clone road trip! Added bonus, Helena is joining them for the ride.
