Their encounter bore fruit twins, the immortal demigod Pollux, the son of Zeus, and the mortal Castor, the son of her husband, King Tyndareus of Sparta. Cosima figures that the choice of the name sounds military and the presence of a soldier in the picture adds validation to her assumption.

She speaks to Kira of leaving her to Cal while she searches for Mrs. S. Cal, at last, manages to extract a bit of information about the people after Sarah.

Alison is surprised to learn that rehab requires consent from the patient, and that her stay at the New Path Wellness Center was her idea. Alison becomes aware that her memory lapse is the consequence of her heavy inebriation. Felix talks her into the benefits of staying in rehab, and she agrees to participate in the program. She returns to her room and finds the last person she wants to see, her husband, Donnie.

Sarah Manning sneaks inside the house of Mrs. S only to find Felix already there; she gets an update regarding her fellow clones. Together they scour through Mrs. S’ documents hoping to find information about her old network. Felix comes across a picture of Carlton Redding, the man who brought Sarah to Mrs. S. The man spent fifteen years in prison for smuggling humans when he, in reality, was helping them to go in hiding. Sarah comes across an old newspaper clipping in Mrs. S’ files that reported the death of six scientists in a lab explosion. The scientists were working on a project spearheaded by Professors Susan and Ethan Duncan, the adoptive parents of Rachel Duncan. Sarah recognized the pictures of the professors as those on the Project LEDA photograph she received from her surrogate mother, Amelia. The discovery reveals that Mrs. S knew of their identities the entire time. Sarah receives a text message from Rachel informing Daniel of the arrival of her flight in the morning. She decides to visit the woman’s apartment at the Cameron Arms before returning to Cal and Kira. Fee volunteers to go with Sarah, but she asks him to bring the news clippings they uncovered to Cosima instead. They leave the house of Mrs. S unaware that someone else has been hiding in there and listening in to their conversation. Sarah arrives at the Cameron Arms and calls the concierge on the phone with instructions of preparing the suite to her requirements in order to determine the location and allow her entry to Rachel’s suite. Sarah sneaks inside Rachel’s urbane suite at Cameron Arms and soon receives a phone call from Felix. Cosima is with him and she updates her with information she unearthed about the deceased professors. She learned that they are British geneticists with a molecular biology degree from Cambridge receiving acclaim for the paper they wrote on recombinant DNA and several others until the year 1976 when they disappeared given their highly confidential work on Project LEDA. Their names only resurfaced after the fatal lab explosion. Cosima confirms that they were the adoptive parents of Rachel. Moreover, she learns that it was the professors who had asked Amelia to carry her for them. In other words, they were supposed to be Sarah’s adoptive parents. She adds that Rachel was raised self-aware of her nature. The knowledge of being the only self-aware clone must have given her a profound sense of narcissism. She supposes that Rachel was raised without any emotional attachments as part of their plan to groom her into the perfect, corporate leader of the Dyad Group, conjecture Sarah rejects after seeing the home video she has of Rachel and her affectionate adoptive parents.
Sarah surveys the apartment and finds men’s clothing in Rachel’s closet, and soon becomes aware of its owner after a bloody, Daniel Rosen, arrives at the apartment. Daniel calls Dr. Leekie on the phone and informs him that their secret is safe. He vows to find Sarah and extract from her what she knows. Sarah makes her way out of the apartment, but Daniel is one-step ahead of her. He confronts her with his gun aimed at her, but Sarah is aware of her value to the Dyad preventing Daniel from shooting her. Sarah makes her way to the door without restraint from Daniel when he suddenly knocks her out unconscious. Cal and Kira wait at the camper for Sarah and resigns to the fact that she will not be coming back that night. Cal appeases the child only to learn that Kira is not worried about her mother, because she believes that a guardian angel is watching over her. They are unaware that Daniel has tied her to the shower with plans of torturing her for information. Though conscious of Daniel’s plan, Sarah continues to antagonize him with her actions and declaration of her knowledge of his status of monitor to Rachel Duncan and his allegiance with Dr. Leekie. Daniel remains unperturbed causing Sarah to lose courage and to resort to begging, but Daniel is now acting of his own accord spiteful for the pain she caused him. Daniel cuts through Sarah’s ear causing her to scream in pain when music suddenly plays; he leaves to check what had caused it. Sarah soon hears struggling in the living room and sees Daniel choking on his own blood with a bloody Helena standing over him. Helena approaches her slowly and shushes her frightened twin sister whom she followed from Mrs. S’ house. Sarah’s terror comes from the existence of Helena despite the knowledge of having shot her dead. Helena, however, has not come to harm Sarah. In fact, she has come to save her and to seek her help. She informs Sarah of her marriage and her belief that the Proletheans had taken something inside of her. Helena is right for Henrik Johanssen shows his wife and Mark Rollins the beginning of the mitotic cell division of Helena’s fertilized egg.
