Orphan Black - History Yet to Be Written (Season Finale) - Advance Preview
20 Jun 2015
Orphan Black Reviews ROOye, Oye, Clone Club, (I can’t believe I’m writing it but) Orphan Black season 3 finale is airing this Saturday on BBC America ! It felt like the season flew in a minute and yet it was such a rich and intense season, without a doubt the best season.
Orphan Black season 3 was a tough challenge for the writers, as they introduced the Castor bomb in the S2 finale, there were great expectations and fears about what was coming. The introduction of the Castor project and the male clones has been one of the best thing in Orphan Black in my opinion. It really gave a new dynamic to the show, everything was changed and yet it still felt the same. It was the perfect way to shake up things while keeping it close to the show mythology and core.
Last week shocking twist, Kendall Malone being the Castor and the Leda original and also Mrs S mother was breathtaking. I didn’t see it coming at all, it totally blew me away.
Since the first season, the identity of the original has been a huge mystery, I never guessed it could be so close to the clone club. That revelation will change Mrs S relationships with the clones, especially Sarah. It’s going to have so much consequences, and “History Yet to Be Written” will mainly deal with them.
Sarah, and her club will work against the clock to get samples from Kendall Malone, without Topside and Castor knowing about it, because they all want it. Here’s a list of what to expect from the season finale :
- Sarah will form an unlikely alliance in order to protect her Leda sisters. It’ll be surprising, especially coming from her, but Sarah will do everything to protect her family. Plus, she will make such a great deal, I forgot she had some real good leverage to play.
- After learning Kendall was Leda original, we all wondered how come she didn’t look like Sarah. Well, it will be explained in “History Yet to Be Written”.
- Rachel will be back for the season finale ! I really missed her last week so I was thrilled to see her back. But as seen in the promo, Rachel will be seen in that large room, who is hiding her there there ?
- There will be a surprising and totally unexpected return ! We haven’t seen that character in a while, and I’ve never thought this character would be back. It’ll be a great surprise.
- One character will demonstrate how great and useful duct tape can be.
- Felix will get into some action. I love it so much when Felix has more to do than say funny and snarky lines (even those lines are the best part of his character). Badass Felix all the way !
- Last time we saw Rudy, he started to show symptoms of his Castor brain sickness. In the season finale, obviously, things won’t get better for him, and that will force Coady and him to take matter into their own hands to get the Castor original back from Sarah and S.
- We will find out what Mark and Gracie had been doing since they were reunited last week and what was their deal with Castor for giving them the book.
- It will be Allison’s big day in “History Yet to Be Written”. The school trustee election will take place and by the end of the day, we will know if Allison beat Marci !
- Detective Art will come back. As always, he’ll there when the sestras need him. Such a great guy Art.
- Ferdinand will visit Delphine at Dyad and he won’t be happy about what happened, all the secrets and lies she kept. Delphine might be in trouble, but as we’ve seen it this season, she has proven to be quite resourceful.
- There will be a very emotional and powerful scene between Sarah, Mrs S and Kendall Malone. There are so many things they need to talk about.
- Beth will be mentioned again.
- There will be a new threat against the sisters. It will be a very serious and dangerous threat, something bigger than they’ve ever fought against. It scares me.
- One character’s life will hang in the balance by the end of the episode. God, I’m already waiting for the S4 premieres !
“History Yet to Be Written” is going to be Orphan Black best season finale. I’m pretty sure you will love it, because it will have everything that we all love about that show. It’s not only a sci-fi show about clones, it’s a story about sisterhood and motherhood, about what family means, and what you are willing to do and how far you can go to protect your family and your loved ones.
You can not miss “History Yet to Be Written”, you will regret it. It will air this Saturday on BBC America. How excited are you about “History Yet to Be Written” ? What do you think is going to happen in the season finale ? Hit the comments !
And finally, some quotes from “History Yet to Be Written”. Guess who will say them :
1- “Get your arse in the tent”
2- “That’s not how it’s going to work”
3- “I can feel Castor coming after us”
4- “I’m nervous now, I’m having like hot flashes”
5- “My family needs me”
6- “Touch me and I’ll gut you”
7- “How thoughtful of her”
8- “We have a lot of reasons to be paranoid”
9- “Why do weird things keep happening to me ?”
10- “Just trust us, we know what we are doing”

Thanks for the preview Romain!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited about the season finale !!!
Kira and Cal aren't in the episode, right?
ReplyDeleteNo, those cliffanghes are the ugliest ever. I don't want to wait one, long year to know. I really don't, show!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your preview, Romain. It's been a pleasure reading you ;)
p.s.: I'll keep myself busy and relaxed with Daredevil, then.
Thank you for the preview , it hardly says anything about Cosima ! Should we b worried and does cophine have much scope in this episode ?
ReplyDeleteYou lucky sod you got to watch 2 days in afvance for us in the UK . 😉
Thank you, Romain! Great preview, as usual...how good is the episode for Cophine shippers? on a scale from 1 to 10? lol
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the preview! What can you tell us about Cophine? You can resort to smiley/frowny faces if necessary. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Well, at least, the cliffhanger gives hope. And I enjoy the suspense and the questioning (even if I might drive me crazy)
ReplyDeleteDaredevil is amazing, enjoy :)
Im so lucky I know. Im so grateful to get to review Orphan Black :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I wanted to keep more surprises as it's the finale. Cosima and Delphine will be busy but I can't say much about their scenes :)
Thanks... Well, I don't know but there will be the kiss, as seen in the promo, so it's a high note obviously :)
ReplyDeleteDelphine. Delphine. Delphine. How awesome is she in here?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I want to know is.. how is Delphine in this episode? Not Cophine related though, like we know she will have some action and all and I assume it won't end well for her. What do you think about it?
ReplyDeleteAs always, pretty awesome !!! Evelyn Brochu is just amazing :)
ReplyDeletedo we get to know anything about shay this episode?
ReplyDeleteNo answer? Mysterious.
ReplyDeleteWell I was supposed to read all night... Guess I'll be watching Orphan Black!! See ya in 44 minutes :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy :)
ReplyDeleteNothing really new about her
ReplyDeleteDelphine is amazing, as usual. She will be dealing with Topside and Ferdinand ;)
ReplyDeletethat's the important thing :) thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat preview ...so many interesting plots developing ..And it sounds pretty action packed too ...
ReplyDelete....This I Like!
My Wish list/crazy theories for this EP:
Kendall/Sarah/Ms S having THE TALK ..I mean "We make a family,Yes?" just got a whole new meaning after last week reveal.
Delphine going full FRENCH FATALE !! (duh) ... Probably getting rid of Ferdinand or Nealon (that sneaky little doctor lol)
Shay just being an innocent (ex?)military/candle lover/healthy juice drinker/holistic/hipster ... I mean .. its the boldest thing they could do ..considering EVERYONE already thinks she's a spy/killer/mole/ship-destroyer xD)
Cosima going FULL SCIENCE GEEK MONKEY ...Love when OB get into the science, and its time for her to get to what she does best (also her NOT DYING ...that would also be nice xD)
HELENA ..She can do ANYTHING ...i bet it will be crazy and hilarious (or both) ... preferably with Donnie
Now for Alison ... I want her to win and be successful and show the haters she could do it ! ...also i got a crazy theory ...So far Cosima has been the "sick clone" everyone worries about ...what if ....while everyone is distracted with al the craziness Alison is actually the one getting sick now !? ( T__T)
Rachel ...Well she's still Bloody Rachel in my book ..so whatever ..don't care about her xD
Romain thanks for the preview!! and now sneaky question time !! now that u have seen the whole season ...if u had to choose ...which one is the best ep ?
Ok your not giving much away lol .
ReplyDeleteIs the Kiss more emotional than the last 1 as that would be hard to beat !
Thanks for the last (!!!!!!!!!!!) preview Romain!
ReplyDelete"There will be a surprising and totally unexpected return !"
My guess is either Vic or Angela deAngelis. Maybe even Art because we haven't seen anything from in a long while.
" One character will demonstrate how great and useful duct tape can be."
As someone who is camoing at many festival I know exactly how useful it can be. Cant't wait to see how that turns out.
And now to the most important question: What does the kiss between Cosima and Delphine mean????
The kiss will have a special meaning.
ReplyDeleteIS IT TONY OMG I STG I HOPE ITS TONY I'LL SCREAM
ReplyDeleteThanks !
ReplyDeleteArt is in the episode, it's in the article ;) The return is really surprising.
Oh I'm sure you'll be surprise what one can do with duct tape, especially that one
Great pick, it'd be so surprising ! Saturday can't come fast enough
ReplyDeleteSo it is either a reconciliation kiss or a goodbye forever kiss?
ReplyDeleteIt'll be probably the best season finale yet.
ReplyDeleteFrench Fatale, I love, totally suits her :)
Helena and Donnie will share a special moment, as said in the synopsis, he'll offer her a gift...
Bloody Rachel is amazing, she's so bad and for once, she's in unknown place.
It'd be hard to pick one favorite episode... I'll say Certain Agony of a Battlefield, Paul's death, Sarah and Beth dream, Allie and Donnie twerking... :D
Basically yes :/
ReplyDeleteOOpsie overread the Art part.
ReplyDeleteDuct Tape FTW!!!!!
Duct tape is the sh*t ! lol
ReplyDeleteAwesome Job!! Just don't tell me that Delphine is next to die!! Hate to see that Happen!! Love Delphine to much to say goodbye to her..
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a goodbye forever kiss as it looks like a short kiss.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get back with someone it is intense and lasts long .
Thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, a life will hang in the balance, it doesn't mean the character will die... It could Delphine but it could be any other character, there's so much danger, especially with the Original being identified :)
God I hope not. I want to see Cosima happy for a while.
ReplyDeleteMe too. She deserves to be happy. This season has been harsh on her
ReplyDeleteTo be fair we only saw a glimpse of it in the promo. We don't really know how long it lasts.
ReplyDeleteBest Finale Yet!? ... Wow i bet they'll bring it for this EP then! ..S2 finale's BIG "OMG-moment" was the male clone reveal, is S3's "OMG-WTF-HOLYFISHSTICKS-Moment" related to a whole new plot ? or is it related to something we already know ?
ReplyDeleteAbout French Fatale.. Yep .. I does suit her doesn't it? xD .. her badass level was over 9000 this season. I do hope whatever she does in the finale doesn't force her character out of S4 that much tho. Are there any interactions between her and Clone Club ? I think she should become an honorary member after all the times she's saved them ..(and they still treat her like shit ..not cool Clone Club ....NOT COOL xD)
I think i know what the Helena/Donnie scene is about ...it may o may not involve someone with a thing for trucker hats ...am i right ? ;)
Nope ...i still can't get myself to like Rachel ... (I've tried! lol) and did felt bad for her when she was in pretty bad shape and the beginning of the season ....buth then she went back to her soul-less ruthless self and i was like ...NOPE ..again xD
My Fave would have to be 3x08 i think ..loved the whole Cloneception sequence and how everyone was playing everyone out (Typical OB) ..and BLOODY RACHEL getting away with it ! also i found it amazing how Krystal was introduced and went from naive manicurist ...to clone-swapped Rachel substitute at the end ...Great EP ...but then again all this season has been pretty great ...specially from 3x05 on , Can't wait for the finale !
Great article as always, Romain. I'm guessing the returning character is either Tony Sawicki or Marion Bowles.
ReplyDeleteYou say there is nothing new about Shay in the season finale so basically since the beginning the purpose of her character was... nothing?
ReplyDeleteso i saw something big before you deleted it. but i won't tell anybody. everybody's safe until the finale. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I echo the comments of the others - great article as always Romain. Yep, I reckon it could be Tony who comes back. I would like to see that character again just to see if he's grown on me :). I also agree with Anwhiz about it possibly being Alison who will be in danger. Cosima seems too obvious. Hope it's not Delphine. Although, Evelyne will probably have to miss lots of episodes for season 4 if she comes back because of the other show she is in. So, that would be a way of keeping her in the show but not having her play a big role in the beginning. Can you tell us where in the episode that the kiss happens? Beginning, middle, or end?
ReplyDeleteOh no... WHY the only person I didn't want to get hurt gets hurt... ugh :(
ReplyDeleteLoved the end though :)
Ah, just read something from another site and I reckon it has to be Jesse.
ReplyDeleteSo basically Shay's purpose this season was to get Ksenia Solo half naked on my television screen?
ReplyDelete...I'm actually pretty okay with that.
Any clues you can give us about the life that will hang in the balance? Is it a clone or non-clone?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll just try my hand at the ones I can:
1- “Get your arse in the tent” - Mrs. S
3- “I can feel Castor coming after us” - Sarah
4- “I’m nervous now, I’m having like hot flashes” - Alison
5- “My family needs me” - Helena
6- “Touch me and I’ll gut you” - Kendall
10- “Just trust us, we know what we are doing”- Cosima
I don't know if it was the same thing that I saw.
ReplyDeleteBasically the purpose of her character was to distract Cosima.
ReplyDeletehmm... just in case, for everyone's safety, write here after the finale.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not Helena?! xD Tho I bet she'll be M.I.A. once again. That's just tradition.
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed for Marion to return. God, do I love Michelle Forbes.
ReplyDeleteI guess the reveal near the end of the episode has to do with this new fraction, right? You've already said that there'll be a new threat. ARE THEY SCARIER THAN CASTOR WAS AT THE TIME BEING?!
Ha lol, this made me smile so wide.
ReplyDelete6 is a no-brainer for me as well!
ReplyDeleteis the unexpected return Jesse?
ReplyDeleteas the only person who loves Rudy apparently, I hope he'll live! XD
ReplyDeletewhat other shows is Evelyne in??
ReplyDeleteX Company
ReplyDeleteIs there any thing good for us Shaysima shippers?
ReplyDeleteJust tell me something about Cosima please, this whole thing it's driving me crazy ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteTwo obvious candidates for why Sarah doesn't look that much like Kendall: 1) the original has two cell lines whereas each clone group descends from only one, 2) Duncan's synthetic sequences. As for the surprise return, there are several characters I've been missing this season, of whom I can only narrow down to Kira, Charlotte, and Angie. As for who's holding Rachel (whose storyline, incidentally, I've found the best this season)? "That would be telling", to quote a certain possibility ,)
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling us what to expect Romain! Greatly apprecited
ReplyDeleteThis is too much fun :) Thanks again for the great preview Romain. This has been a great season I agree, but I recently watched season 2 again, and it was so good as well.
ReplyDeleteThe only minor thing I would complaint about this season is it had too much Gracie.
I hope the surprise character is Jesse, Helena can use a little love now that she is trying to be on the path. Don't want her to go MIA again, and alone.
Don't care much about Tony.
About Cophine, I am sorry to say, I think it is a goodbye kiss, "how unfortunate" because these 2 characters have pure love for each other and this season was heartbreaking for both of them, not to mention for all the Cophine shippers. I so hope I am wrong! And that Delphine does not have to go away.
However, Shaysima had a lot of fun and sexy time, ok, it was not Cophine but it was very sweet and super hot. Cosima so deserved it. I think shady Shay will end up being like Paul, working for the government.
Romain can you tell me if they will finally use the Helena's embryos for Cosima? Or will we have a whole new S4 carrying the canister again?
Will we see Cal and Kira in the finale? :)
We are surely pressuring you for a lot of info., ooopsy, but this finale came too quick, only 10 eps! Wish we had 15, or at least 13 ...
Thanks so much!
I am in the middle of my baccalauréat right now so I hope I'll be able to see the episode sunday, otherwise it'll be next week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this last advance preview, I am looking forward to this episode which seems awesome according to you.
Oh you can take a 45minutes break from the bac ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's the season finale, of course it's awesome ! :)
Thanks. Well, good for you if you rewatched S2, and it's still fresh in your head, you'll see ;)
ReplyDeleteFor Gracie, I enjoyed her character this season, she finally understood clones weren't abomination and her relationship with Mark is particularly touching IMO
As for Helena's canister, it won't be used in the SF so maybe next season :)
I also wished OB would have 13 episode per season but I'm grateful there will be a S4 ! :)
My pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteRachel's storyline has ben exceptional this season, I really thought at first she was done, weak in the Dyad room but Bloody Rachel is always full of surprises and I'm sure you'll love the resolution of her storyline :)
ReplyDeletelol well Cosima will be quite busy; she'll deal with two different situations in the finale
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm guessing there will be one line that will make you particularly happy :)
ReplyDeleteRudy is my least favorite Castor, I wish we could have known Miller & Seth better.
ReplyDeleteAnd for Rudy to live, Coady has to get the original, it means go against Sarah and Mrs S :O
It could be a great choice but I can't say :)
ReplyDeleteMe too, I adore Michelle Forbes, she's just so great (and as The Returned has been cancelled, she might be free)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, the new threat is definitely scarier than Castor.
I can't say !! Maybe later I'll reveal you the gender of the characer
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't her only purpose,even though it was enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see Tony back again but can Tatiana play 6 characters in the same ep ... of course she can :)
I didn't know about Evelyn Brochu new show but as OB is only 10 episode, I think she could still do both. We'll see.
The kiss will happen towards the end of the episode.
I didn't reveal anything about Shay but she'll appear in the finale... I just wanted to leave it as a surprise :) It's the finale !
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteIt could be one of them... And there could be more than one return :)
Yeah I know. It was sad :(
ReplyDeleteThe ending was very good... I wish S4 would start next week lol
I'm feeling nervous I thought the kiss would have been in the middle before delphine goes to Frankfurt .
ReplyDeleteUnless there are more intimate moments between them.
Arghh is there any hope ?!
Imagine if it had been cancelled.... lol Fans would've gone hella mad.
ReplyDeleteI hope the promos for season 4 won't spoil that person's fate.
"The kiss will happen towards the end of the episode."
ReplyDeleteokay now I'm nervous :/
Maybe it's cal that comes back with Kira.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be that surprising even tho they were gone a long time, I bet it's someone else, someone we haven't seen this season :3 So Jesse, Marion or Angie.
ReplyDeleteRomain: Please tell me that delphine will be safe!! I don't care if she leaves for a bit, and comes back later to kick some serious ass
ReplyDeleteI left my office work and at this moment I am getting paid Eighty-Five Dollars every hour. ...How? I'm working online! My previous job was making me miserable ,so I made a decision to try something completly different… Two yrs have passed since And I can say in great confidence my life is changed completly for the better! Here’s what I do< www.Pay-Review.com >
ReplyDeleteThat gives me hope!! I'm just happy if Evelyne decides to stay on Orphan Black!! Rather have her miss a few episodes than not having her at all!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to Delphine happy for a change!! That would be good for her!! if that is with Cosima, awesome! If it's with someone else, fine by me!! I like to see Delphine smile more, if she comes back!! Cloneclub is going nuts!!
ReplyDeletecan you reveal the gender yet?
ReplyDeleteIt's a female character whose life will hang in the balance
ReplyDeleteoh bloody hell, now i feel nervous! thanks for replying and writing the preview, i look forward to your review :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ! My review is almost done I'll try to publish it in 12hours.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read ur thoughts on the finale ;)
can't believe it's the last OB review for a while! will you be reviewing OB next year too?
ReplyDeleteoh don't you worry, i'll be straight on here once i've seen the finale! :P
it was the "goodbye kiss". now i'm in ball pit of denial.
ReplyDeleteRachel SilverEye is where I predicted she would be a year ago, please excuse me while I pin on a The Prisoner badge and gloat like a Doctor Who villain ,)
ReplyDelete
