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.
Kris and Stephanie discuss episode 1×06 of Orphan Black: The Next Chapter, “Every Child Is Cast from Paradise.”
Episode Title Reference
The Book of the Living, Verse 49: Paradise
The child in each of us
Knows paradise.
Paradise is home.
Home as it was
Or home as it should have been.Paradise is one's own place,
One's own people,
One's own world,
Knowing and known,
Perhaps even
Loving and loved.Yet every child
– Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
Is cast from paradise—
Into growth and destruction,
Into solitude and new community,
Into vast, ongoing
Change.
Delphine
- Microdrones that collect ambient DNA left around the city on gum, to-go cups, etc. — what is the purpose of that DNA collection?
- Collecting DNA without collecting truly informed consent
- Raccoon-proof trash cans in Toronto
- Reminders of some of the great ethical failures in the history of science
- Josef Mengele's twin children "experiments"
- Werhner von Braun – designed rockets that killed more people who worked on the rockets but eventually led to rockets for the space program
- Tuskegee Syphilis Study
- "Ends justify the means"
Cosima, Jay & Art
- Jay suggesting that Cosima's handlers told her to date Delphine??? Oh, how the turn tables…
- How did Jay get so much info on Delphine's dating past?? I still like you, Jay, but RUDE.
- How did the Department of Defense know so much about Cosima's past?
- Greg Kurzmann was probably taking Cosima out of RCMP’s custody because of Eloise Thibault, right? Did Delphine ask Eloise to do that?
- Why did Cosima decide to trust Jay enough to tell her to check with Art?
- Poor Art
Vivi & Sarah
- Actual clone swap — Vivi stuffed a mop in a hat
- "In the mirror, she practiced looking somehow curious at everything, and smiled at herself."
- Cosima and Delphine have a FANCY house
- OF COURSE Sarah knew Vivi wasn't Cosima!!! Sarah's back, threatening people with bottles and getting into conflict with Delphine. It's like old times!
- Delphine, your house is so fancy, and you don't have a doorbell camera??? Or just a peephole???
Charlotte & Dana
- "Davis" — who does not like clones and seems to have given Vivi's name to Jay, nod to the Cigarette-Smoking Man from The X-Files
- Arun seems more and more like he's OK, though!
- Alison came into the hospital room with the other sick clones. Is she going to be infected too?
- Charlotte and Vivi seem similarly lonely
- Kira and Charlotte's code phrases are from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein:
“I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”
- Not the first Frankenstein reference in Orphan Black! Henrik Johanssen is telling an altered version of the story to his children in episode 2×09 "Things Which Have Never Yet Been Done."
- What do we think about Charlotte's decision to out the clones?
