The season finale of the BBC’s clone-tastic series Orphan Black begins! What will the season finale answer? That’s the wrong question. What new mysteries will be left dangling in our faces? That’s the right one. Through one episode after another, Orphan Black has kept us guessing, and this one is no exception.

So many questions, so very little time. “Unconscious Selection” beautifully describes the actions of all these clones, how their very personhood is differentiated, not just from birth, but from their life experiences, and how it’s all led them here, to this point.

The Television Critics Association announced on Monday its 2013 award nominations. FX’s smash hit The Americans leads the pack with four nominations and AMC’s Breaking Bad is hot on their tail with three.

Sarah has given her personal deets to Helena in exchange for her and Paul’s safety. Helena has trimmed Olivier’s tail. Art has discovered Sarah Manning in connection to Katja and Beth, though he doesn’t know the whys or hows…. And that’s where we are as we plummet into “Entangled Bank,” two episodes away from the season’s finale.

Three genetic identicals are working together: Alison, Cosima, and Sarah. Alison and Cosima have monitors, but no one is really sure who they are. The dead identical, Beth, had a monitor, Paul, who unknowingly was monitoring Sarah. Now Sarah and Paul have a somewhat honest truce, even with Olivier playing puppeteer…

“Variations Under Domestication” is the Venn Diagram of Beth, Alison, and Sarah’s life intersecting at suburban crisis point. Vic [the Dick] has met Alison who he thinks is Sarah. Paul knows Beth is dead and who he thought was Beth is really Sarah. Alison and Cosima are, well, in trouble.

This week, Orphan Black proved itself as excellent mystery and suspense television that can knot up the mystery twice as fast as it can unravel it. Further explored are the notions of nature versus nature, and how “Effects of External Conditioning” can mold a person. Or clones, in this instance. Same people, different influences.

Sarah comes face to face with two other copies: high strung Alison who gets the full on clone-slap for pointing a gun at Felix, and the more relaxed but brainiac version, Cosima. Sarah gets the 411 on the Clone Club, first rule being “Don’t talk about Clone Club.”
