Lucy and Jules examine the details from their shared dream, which leads them to new clues about the original copy. Kira is concerned that Mr. Darros might hurt Lucy, and she gets more help from Emily to locate her.

Boston

• The setting has changed from Toronto (in the original series) to Boston.
• The Jamaica Plain neighborhood where the sorority house was located is a real neighborhood. WBUR's Field Guide to Boston describes Jamaica Plain as “Known for its iconic green spaces, vibrant LGBTQ scene and Latin Quarter, Jamaica Plain is a diverse neighborhood with a history of progressive activism that now sees its inclusive identity imperiled by gentrification.”
• Eleanor graduated from Thomas M. Menino High School. Thomas Menino was Boston's longest serving mayor, from 1993-2014. 

Lucy and Jules

• Jack and Charlie are weirdly accepting of Lucy’s assertion that she’s a printout.
• Their shared trip was less “trippy” than Stephanie expected it to be. 
• The initials(?) SRM on the knife
• Why does Jules remember a pile of clothes that Lucy doesn’t?
• There was an emphasis in this episode on Jules and Lucy's differences. Jules suggests that what makes Lucy happy may not make her happy. 
• “Do printouts have souls? What happens when we die?” They're asking the same questions that have been asked about children conceived via IVF treatments. 
• It was fun to see our main characters work toward a goal together, rather than being siloed in their own storylines.
• They eventually track down Melissa (guest star Kathy Baker) at a nursing home that calls Kira. It seems pretty obvious who Eleanor is now…

Wes and Neva

• Wes is terrible at being sneaky. He told Neva everything!
• We want to trust Neva, but it's still so hard to tell if she's genuine in her concern for Jules.

Kira

• That's DOCTOR Kira Manning, Mr. Darros. Darros's willingness to be “flexible,” to make sacrifices for the greater good does not sit well with her.
• When looking through Lucy's trailer, Kira regards her jar of candy fondly. The “original” likely had a sweet tooth as well.
• She finds a copy of the book The Philosophy of Identity written by A. Redecop and edited by T. Smale and TEARS A PAGE OUT OF IT. This book does not appear to be a real book.
• Kira gets her “come with me if you want to live” moment when she whisks Lucy away at the end of the episode.

The Suits

• The comic relief in this episode
• Stephanie said Reed Diamond has a slappable face but pepper spray works too.
• Emily continues to be a mole for Kira and now helps Lucy. She tells Kira that she relates to her because she knows what it's like being the only one looking out for someone.

Theme of Motherhood

• Like the original series, we're seeing lots of different types of mothers in Orphan Black: Echoes, especially nontraditional mothers.
• Lucy talks about loving being Charlie's mom. Their relationship is a stepmother-stepdaughter type of relationship.
• Jules says to Melissa “So you're my mom? Like my real mom?” She is Eleanor's mother, and Lucy and Jules are printouts of Eleanor, so her “motherly” connection may be one of genetics. But she also is a connection to “their past” that they cannot remember.
• Neva says to Jules that “it might not always feel like it, but she is [Jules's] mother,” specifically her adoptive mother. 
• As well as being a mother to Lucas, Kira is Lucy (and Jules's?) “mother” in a way. She says to Emily, “You know, I made [Lucy]. I put her into the world.”
