Orphan Black - Newer Elements of Our Defense - Advance Preview

   Orphan Black will continue its exciting and thrilling third season next Saturday on BBC America, with an all new episode titled "Newer Elements of Our Defense".
   After last week big revelation that Castor and Leda are related, I must admit I’m even more excited and happy about the Castor’s introduction to the show. Having male clones was already great, but now them being siblings will get everyone closer, it can have many implications. They all have the same goal (for now), they both want the original samples to understand and cure their sickness. I’m so thrilled about the idea of Sarah, Cosima, Helena and Allison working along with Rudy and Miller. It’d be a really great new dynamic for the show.
   But that happy clone family reunion isn’t for now, and won’t happen in "Newer Elements of Our Defense" instead we will learn more about the castor clones. Miller will be more present and we’ll start to get to know him. He’s still very mysterious, because he’s not that talkative but actually, he’s the male clone I’m the most looking forward to know. There’s something about him that makes me very interested in, some kind of darkness and trauma. Can’t wait to find out his backstory.

   Also, in "Newer Elements of Our Defense", there will be a very surprising twist about the Castor clones and their relationship with each other. I really didn’t see it coming and it will be interesting to see how it’ll play in the future episodes.
   Last week episode ended on Mark’s death… We assumed and then there was the promo for this week episode with Mark in it. Is it really him ? Is Mark really dead or not ? Why Gracie’s mother would shoot him but not kill him ? Well, you will have your answer in the first minutes of the episode.
   And here’s a lit of what you can expect from "Newer Elements of Our Defense":

- The scorpion will be back ! I’ve missed it so much last week,. Plus, this week, it’ll have plenty more to say, and it'll give very good advises to Helena. Tatiana Maslany’s voice is just extraordinary for that part and her lines are always exquisite.
- Sarah will pursue her plan to get Helena back. The Protheleans might have the original Castor samples, if Sarah can get it before Rudy, she can trade it for Helena. Her plan is solid on paper but it will be quite difficult to put in action. Sarah will receive help from a surprising ally in her quest.
- Helena will make a great mess in the beginning of the episode. It’ll really hilarious.
- We will meet Parsons.

- As seen in the promo, Allison and Donnie will have a meeting with a drug lord. It will be nothing as you can expect. Allison is always full of surprises and very resourceful. Donnie will be particularly hilarious during the whole episode. Allison and Donnie have such a great and fun dynamic this year, I’m loving it. 

- Delphine will still be very busy in Germany or wherever… She won’t show up in "Newer Elements of Our Defense". I miss you Delphine...
-  Cosima and Scott will try to decipher Duncan’s secret code in the book, but something is actually missing.
- The drug lord will be related to someone's past.
- There will be a very disgusting and gross scene, quite bloody. Someone will put his fingers somewhere he/she just shouldn't
- Gracie has found back her mother and she will be back to her family, in their new location. There will be a new man in charge there. Let’s just say Gracie won’t feel much at her place there. And about her wedding, well, she will try to keep it a secret.
- Helena won’t spend the entire episode in her cell this week. Do you think Coady is back testing her or whatever she’s planning with Helena or can Helena sneak out and actually escape by herself from the Castor base ?
- Someone will mention “Breaking Bad”
- There will be a big, shocking and surprising revelation about what Johanssen did.
- Someone will shh Allison… Oh yeah. Who can dare to do that ?
- Felix and Cosima will spend a lot time together in "Newer Elements of Our Defense". Felix will be funny as usual, he'll do his best to make Cosima better, so he'll take her out to drinks. I'm really loving their new closer relationship. Felix feels like their real brother, always there for them, all of them.
- There will be a death, again ! Do you think it'll be a clone, again ? Can they do that ?

   "Newer Elements of Our Defense" will be another spectacular and exciting episode of Orphan Black. The season keeps getting better and better, I really feel like each episodes is getting stronger and the pace is always so thrilling.
   Don’t miss "Newer Elements of Our Defense" next Saturday on BBC America ! Are you excited about it ? Do you think Mark is alive ? Do you think there’s still a chance to get the original samples ? Hit the comments

And finally some quotes from "Newer Elements of Our Defense" :

-"Mothers to be need to eat"
-"Then you gotta give me some answers"
-"God, you must one hell of a first date"
-"Kill me"
