When Charlie is kidnapped, Lucy tries to turn herself over to Tom but he demands she return Jules instead. Kira and Eleanor uncover the identities of the twelve people that Darros wants to print, but it may be too late to stop his plans, despite Xander's new desire to help them after learning more about Darros through his memory drug trip.
With help from Jules's mom Neva and a surprise visitor, Kira makes progress on discovering what Darros's plan might be for the print outs. Jules begrudgingly helps Xander who takes all of her memory drug to learn all he can about Darros. What he sees with the drug's assistance seems to change his mind about wanting to fill Darros's shoes. Lucy calls in assistance from Jack to help nurse Craig's gunshot wound, and Craig reveals some personal things about his past.
Lucy seeks help from an ex to determine the significance of the device that Jules stole from Darros. Jules takes Eleanor to visit her mother to convince her not to give up on finding a cure for early on-set Alzheimer's. Lucas confronts Kira about her deception as she tries to protect him from the fallout of her encounter with Emily. Links and shownotes at http://askgenretv.com/OBE108

As a farmhand in the country, Lucy had found safety and comfort from her tumultuous past. But when people from her past catch up with her, she decides to confront where she came from in order to protect her found family and her new life.
Vivi teams up with Jay to free Cosima from being detained by the Department of Defense. Kira confesses quite a bit about herself and her family to Em when she realizes the seriousness of what may be happening in Nasgwine'g. Delphine decodes the information Sturgis stored in the DNA sequence of some hair, which leads them to a locker at a local social club.
Clone Club tries to deal with the stress of being publicly outed as clones as they try to track down Cosima. Jay recruits Art's help following up on Strugis's clue about the TAG project. After overhearing Dr. Bai talking about GeneKeep's data breach, Kira and Em follow him to the Nasgwine'g community where strange things seem to be happening around its mayor Gilles Sauveterre.
Suspected of murder and terrorism, Cosima endures detainment and questioning from the RCMP. Vivi finally comes face to face with a member of Clone Club. Charlotte's condition worsens, and she makes a decision that affects all the clones.

Charlotte discovers they aren't dealing with the clone disease when she tries to inoculate the sick clone in the US. Art does his best to handle Jay's questions about Katja, Cosima, and Beth so that he can pass on a warning to Clone Club. Kira notices something strange happening on GeneKeep's servers.

The investigation into the bombing at GRIT resurrects some old problems for Art, who receives a visit from a determined RCMP officer asking about the Katja Obinger case. Cosima learns more about what was going on at GRIT, while Charlotte and Alison head to the United States to inoculate a sick Leda clone.
Kris and Stephanie discuss episode 1x03 of Orphan Black: The Next Chapter, “Dogged in Denial.”
Project LEDA ended eight years ago, and Cosima has spent that time playing it safe professionally. But when she interviews for a job at the Genetic Research Institute of Toronto, Cosima is confronted with her DYAD past and insinuations that DYAD's work has been continued. When GRIT is bombed soon after Cosima's interview, Delphine tries to use her contacts in national security to find out more information. Charlotte finds evidence on the internet that an unknown Leda clone in Boston is suffering from the clone disease, which reignites tensions concerning whether the clones should go public about their identities.
Kris and Stephanie are reunited along with the sestras to talk about Orphan Black: The Next Chapter, an audiobook/podcast hybrid produced by Realm and narrated by Tatiana Maslany.
Orphan Black: Deviations is a six-issue comic book miniseries with a “what if” setup asking what the plot of Orphan Black would have been like if Beth hadn’t died. The series touches on a lot of events from the entire five seasons of the show. Kris and Stephanie share their thoughts about the comic miniseries and discuss the differences in the timeline, such as the very different body count and changes in character arcs.
The authors of The Science of Orphan Black: The Official Companion, Casey Griffin and Nina Nesseth, answer questions about their book. Topics discussed include the Castor Project, Rachel's brain injury, and the clone ID sequences. Casey and Nina also share how Clone Club brought them together and which clones they both love to think about and love to love.

We'd love to hear your thoughts about this topic. Call us at 972-514-7223.

A lot of people who haven't watched Orphan Black say that the premise reminds them of Dollhouse. Kris and Stephanie give a spoiler-free (general themes and premise only) rundown on the similarities and differences between the two shows and explain why you might want to watch Orphan Black if you gave up on Dollhouse.

A new clone, Tony Sawicki, was introduced in the second season of Orphan Black. Kris and Stephanie are joined by guest contributor Dawson, geekdawson, to talk about Tony and how meaningful it is to have a trans character on television.
Share your thoughts about Tony by sending us a voice message or calling us at 972-514-7223.
- Trans stories are important, Tony’s especially -- “Tony was a character I didn’t know I needed” (Tony’s special place in the hearts of trans men)
- The question of a cis woman playing a trans man -- should they have hired a trans actor?
- Tony’s hair, a question of passing, and Tatiana’s performance
- Tony’s sexuality is a pretty interesting question. We don’t know how he identifies, but he’s clearly not straight.
- Do we think Sammy was romantically involved with Tony?
- “Male clones” vs. “Castor clones”
Kris and Stephanie catch up on feedback from the end of season 2 -- including further questions, favorite moments, and some additional bits of information. We also have a report from someone who went to some Orphan Black events at San Diego Comic Con!

Orphan Black had quite a presence at San Diego Comic Con and its surrounding events in 2014, including the first official Clone Club meetup! Kris and Stephanie didn't get to attend, but talk about what we were able to experience through the internet.
Josh Vokey's character Scott, Cosima's lab monkey turned close friend, really came into his own during the second season and has become quite a fan favorite. We were excited to get to talk to Josh about Scott's relationship with Cosima and Scott's endearing awkwardness.
Send us a voice message or call us at 972-514-7223.
Questions Discussed Include:
- How did you get involved in Orphan Black? What was your audition process like? Did you know when you got the part that Scott would be a recurring character?
- We don’t know much about Scott’s background yet. What do you imagine his background to be like?
- When season 2 started, did you know your role would expand the way it did? Were you excited to come to Dyad?
- Do you share any of Scott's interest in science? How has playing Scott shaped your opinion about the ethics of scientific research?
- In the Season 2 finale, you got to be in a scene with Sarah and Rachel. Were you excited to get to work with different clones besides Cosima?
Now that Season 2 of Orphan Black has concluded, certain moments really stick out as funny, significant, or poignant as we reflect on the season. We discuss some of our favorite moments from Season 2. These lists are in no way exhaustive nor ranked. (We had to limit ourselves somehow otherwise we’d be talking for hours!)
Share your favorite Season 2 moments by sending us a voice message or calling us at 972-514-7223.

- Cosima and Delphine fight about the treatment from Kira’s stem cells
- Tony kisses Felix
- Sarah worrying about Kira during the bone marrow procedure
- Sarah is quizzed by Dyad doctors
- Sarah and Cosima talk about sacred geometry
Kris’s Favorite Moments

- Sarah convinces Helena not to shoot Rachel
- Helena and Sarah in the tent
- Mrs. S taking tea to Paul
- Felix and Alison try to hide Vic
- Sarah: “So, I’m Alison pretending to be Donnie?”
- Helena’s sweet, sweet vengeance on the farming Proletheans
- Scott finding out that Cosima is 324B21
- Helena meets her sisters and reunites with Kira
Listeners’ Favorite Moments
- Val: Alison using her whistle and mace!
- Marie: Rachel getting stabbed with a pencil. Literal cheers. And Helena meeting the other clones.
- Bob: Not very original, but Alison and Donnie in the garage w/ Leekie’s body and Helena at the bar and singing “Sugar, Sugar.”
- Jessalyn: So many great moments to choose from but one moment that really stood out for me was Sarah and Cosima talking in bed in the season finale. It's such a beautifully quiet moment, it doesn't need any of the bells and whistles of the dance scene it's just two sisters talking, possibly saying their goodbyes, and it really drives home the bond/connection that these women share. And on a technical level it was amazing, I've watched it a number of times just to try and wrap my head around how they did it.
- Mike: Kira agreeing to donate bone marrow for Auntie Cosima!

Our friend Sally gives us a crash course in the science behind cloning, while we consider how it ties into Orphan Black and probably make awkward science metaphors.
Archetypes are typical examples of certain people or things. In this episode, Kris & Stephanie talk about some of the character archetypes used in Orphan Black.
From Trevor Yuile's atmospheric score to Alison's party playlist of '90s pop hits, Orphan Blackuses music to highlight character and tone. Kris and Stephanie discuss the music used in the show as well as the playlists the writers and Tatiana Maslany used to create the characters.
Kris & Stephanie discuss the GoldenClones, the Tatianapocalypse, fandom, and Orphan Black's use of social media. For the uninitiated, we also try to explain what those things are and why they're amazing.
Kris and Stephanie are joined by our first guest contributors, Heather and McKenzie, to talk about the moments and aspects of Orphan Black that got us hooked on the show, including cliffhangers and Tatiana Maslany(s).
In the first season of Orphan Black, the Neolutionists and the Proletheans are introduced as adversaries to the clones and to each other. Kris and Stephanie talk about what we know (and what we don't know) about the organizations and the characters who are a part of them.
The folks at the police station play an important part in Sarah's life while she is posing as Beth. Kris and Stephanie chat about Art, Angie, Janis, and Raj.
One could argue that Orphan Black is about identity more than anything else, and a large component of one's identity is sexuality. To that end, Orphan Black features several queer characters, including one who is a clone. In this episode, Kris and Stephanie talk about the significance of the show's representations of its queer characters.
Visual cues, such as color, are often used in film and television to help the audience. Kris and Stephanie discuss the ways Orphan Black uses color to provide clues about the clones and help differentiate between them.
Tell us your thoughts about how colors are used to distinguish the clones. Call us at 972-514-7223 or send us a voice message.
Orphan Black presents several forms of mothers -- none of which is particularly stereotypical. Kris and Stephanie talk about these depictions of motherhood and why it's the narrative (hot) glue that holds the first season together.
Donnie, Paul, and Delphine have been tasked with keeping tabs on the clone club. Kris and Stephanie talk about the monitors' ambiguity, their possible motivations, and why Donnie is a much better employee than either Paul or Delphine.
Simultaneously terrifying villain and tragic victim, Helena is the wild card of Orphan Black's first season. Kris and Stephanie discuss what sets her apart from the other clones, as well as her well-executed story arc and interactions with other characters.
Arguably the most attractive clone (according to Felix and Sarah), Cosima is Clone Club's resident scientist. Her interest in their origins is both personal and intellectual. Kris and Stephanie talk about all these things as well as how her character is revealed through her relationship with Delphine.
A fan favorite, Alison Hendrix has had her world turned upside-down by the discovery that she’s a clone (but don't use the c-word!). Kris and Stephanie discuss Alison's status as a suburban soccer mom, her paranoia and impulsiveness (and why they're a bad combination), and her relationships.
Even though he's her younger brother, Felix is perhaps the most reliable person in Sarah's life as her confidant, safety net, and partner in crime, and that relationship becomes even more important when Sarah finds out she’s a clone. Kris and Stephanie talk about Felix's importance to Sarah, the other clones, and pop culture.
Throughout the first season, Sarah changes from a transient con artist looking out only for herself, her daughter, and Felix to the lynchpin of Clone Club. Kris and Stephanie discuss Sarah as an antihero as well as her story arc and relationships with family.
Welcome to Tatiana Is Everyone, an Orphan Black podcast! In this introductory episode, Kris and Stephanie talk about how they became Orphan Black fans and what they have planned for the podcast.
Tatiana Is Everyone, an Orphan Black podcast, combines fandom and analysis as we discuss individual episodes, as well as the characters and themes of Orphan Black.
