    Storyline

    Edit
    Sarah and Mrs. S are helping Ethan Duncan gather together his necessary materials to bring into Dyad as a bargaining chip. Despite this action, Sarah still does not fully trust Mrs. S. Mrs. S, however, learns some information, which she and Sarah decide to use as a means to orchestrate a showdown between Leekie and Rachel, one of the two who they cannot see but go down in the process. Cal discovers that he is being watched, and thus has to relocate himself and Kira. Through the process, he still tries to find out what Sarah is hiding while contemplating a future for his new family. At rehab, Alison decides to confide in Vic, which she quickly learns is a bad move as she overhears him speaking to Detective DeAngelis on the telephone. She will require some help from both Felix and Sarah to help her get out of this predicament, which could be a problem with the masses descending on the facility for family day. Through the mêlée, Alison learns the truth behind Donnie as her monitor. And Cosima learns a secret behind her current therapy, that revelation which places a wedge between her and Delphine. —Huggo

    • Quotes

      Donnie Hendrix: Alison? Wha... ?

      Alison Hendrix: Yes, relax, Donnie. It's Sarah Manning, the runaway clone. So, I guess you'll be running off to call Dr. Leekie, hmm?

      Donnie Hendrix: C... Clone?

      Sarah Manning: I don't think he knows, Alison.

      Alison Hendrix: Of course he knows. He's a monitor.

      Felix Dawkins: No, darling, I think Sarah's right. This kind of cluelessness can't be faked.

    Great fun.
    The pace of this second season doesn't slow. There's great humour, tension and a dramatic surprise in store for the viewer in this episode.

    The stunning Michelle Forbes makes her debut appearance in the show.

    9 out of 10.
