Rachel has kidnapped Kira and Mrs. S. While trying to elude Rachel's thugs herself, Sarah has to decide whether to trust Paul as the person who has the best access to Rachel of those she knows in order to get Kira back. All Paul does tell Sarah is that there is a black tie event at Dyad at which Rachel will be in attendance. Sarah decides that she needs to attend the event - Cosima who already is an invitee - but has no plan beyond knowing that she will need to get in there with concealed gun in hand. With this scant outline of a plan, Sarah enlists the help of Felix and the other clones, although Sarah does end up enlisting their help also without their knowledge.

Mrs. S is blunt that she has no hesitation in killing her mother if Castor even gets close to finding out their hideout, both Castor and Topside who they know will soon find out where they are hiding. Coady's approach in finding the Castor original is to go after the one sister who is out in the open, namely Alison who, along with Donnie, is in the midst of the school trustee election. As Helena can't be included in the public aspects of election day, Donnie has what he believes is the ultimate gift for Helena to keep her preoccupied. With Topside, Delphine believes she has a deal that will satisfy Ferdinand and Topside's needs in the Leda project. With all these pieces, Rachel becomes an increasingly important player. And Shay may not be able to forgive Cosima for what Delphine did, both ...

It is a difficult enough situation made all the more difficult when they discover upon arrival that Evie Cho will be at the orientation. It becomes even more confusing with the arrival of another unexpected person, who is unaware of Leda but has her own suspicions of something nefarious going on in her world, which almost got her killed.

6The Scandal of Altruism

She also discovers that there is someone, or something else out in the forest that may provide an added threat. Cosima learns from others around her where she is being held, it a "camp" called Revival where Charlotte is also being held. With Delphine also there providing clandestine support, Cosima may have other thoughts as to her situation than Sarah.

They feel somewhat like open targets as they know the Neolutionists are after them while they have no idea as to what is being done ...
2Clutch of Greed

To Sarah's amazement, they all encourage her to join Rachel under her lead of the project. Regardless of what she may tell her loved ones, Sarah is determined to escape Rachel's clutches and run off with Kira for good, she having to decide who she can and cannot trust under the circumstances. Her task may be more difficult as she learns that one of Rachel's most valued subjects would be Kira, who she has placed under tight surveillance to ensure that Sarah cannot run off with her. Ferdinand and Kira in particular may affect Sarah's plans. Meanwhile, Scott and Hell Wizard are able to flush MK out, she who may prove useful in her cyber-abilities beyond she getting to know and trust her sisters. Alison and Donnie/Helena have no idea where the other(s) is/are. ...
3Beneath Her Heart

Meanwhile, Alison and Donnie are being pressured to give up Helena's hiding place, it unsure if Donnie has told Alison Helena's whereabouts, leaving Donnie the weaker link. With Enger determined to use whatever mechanisms are at her disposal to make Donnie break, Donnie hopes that Art can steer her away from the bodies that are buried underneath the garage floor. Within this situation, Alison is facing a crisis of purpose. Neolutionists widely regard her as the unnecessary one among the surviving sisters - Cosima's scientific knowledge and Sarah and Helena's fertility being beneficial to the project - she is feeling shunned by her neighbors in Bailey Downs, they who were once her entire life, and she is feeling guilt in her role in Aynsley's death, Aynsley who was once her best ...
4Let the Children and Childbearers Toil
Sarah is feeling even more detached from Kira, especially after she learns what Kira has done to herself partly as a result of her time with Rachel. Regardless, Mrs. S has a mission for herself and Sarah, which requires Kira going off with Uncle Felix in the meantime. That mission has several parts, with a somewhat confused Sarah being in a need to know only position as S asks her to do things that may make no sense at the time. She does know that they are following the trail of P.T. Westmorland, most specifically trying to find out his activities since his presumed death in 1898, and trying to meet with a Neolutionist defector. However, Sarah also feels the need to connect with a still in hiding Helena as Sarah begins to understand more fully the emotional connection between the sisters, especially between her and Helena, the two who are biologically most alike. Mrs. S's plan also includes bringing into the fold someone from Felix's immediate past, that person who S believes would be...
5Ease for Idle Millionaires
As Mrs. S continues to find out more about Westmorland and Neolutionists with Scott and Hell Wizard doing most of the academic research, Sarah reaches a new agreement with Kira not only as mother and daughter, but concerning the tie to their heritage within Leda. Meanwhile, Cosima continues her leads trying to get information from Aisha as to what she is going through at Camp Revival, and trying to discover who the being in the forest is, she, with its tooth in hand, knowing that it is human despite what Mud or anyone else on the island may say. Cosima may have to work fast with the latter as the creature has killed yet again and the islanders want the matter dealt with before it kills again. And Delphine returns to the island. Cosima and Delphine's relationship continues its emotional course, where Cosima has to decide if she can trust Delphine in her keeping Cosima in the dark about certain issues. One of the issues about which Delphine is a bit more forthcoming is Kira and the fact that Rachel is doing research on her at Dyad, which may in turn affect what Cosima decides to do concerning that trust.
6Manacled Slim Wrists
Sarah and Mrs. S., now knowing what Rachel and her associates at Dyad are planning with Kira, are trying whatever they can for Kira not to return to the institute beyond coming out and saying to Rachel and her associates that they know the goings-on. Their attempts at keeping Kira from Dyad happen in conjunction with news from Art and Scott, who are visited by Krystal and her cosmetologist friend Brie, they believing that the cosmetics industry has poisoned Brie, whose hair is falling out. Beyond the superficial issues that Brie is facing which Scott discovers are rather benign beyond the temporary hair loss, Art and Scott believe Krystal's concerns do have some merit in relation to the Neolutionists, especially when they learn that Krystal's new friend, Leonard Sipp, the owner of the cosmetics company BluZone, has sold it to a subsidiary of Dyad. While Art and Sarah want to take the lead in dealing with Sipp, Krystal has her own thoughts and sensibilities on the issue. Meanwhile, Cosima is still being held captive on the island in Westmorland's basement laboratory. The one person with who she routinely has contact is Mud, who she hopes will help her not only escape but with dealing with what she knows about what Westmorland is doing with the children at Camp Revival, and in the cure for the Leda and Castor clones. In the process, Cosima learns of why Mud is so loyal to Westmorland, that information which Cosima may use to her advantage. Cosima is unaware that there are a few others in the house who are on her side. And Susan is reunited with someone from her past, that meeting which is bittersweet for Ira.
7Gag or Throttle
Beyond Mrs. S's dismay in she allowing Rachel's operatives to take Kira back to Dyad, Sarah and Mrs. S have to figure out what their next step is in regard to getting Kira back, especially in light of what they know. Cosima, who was able to escape off the island with Charlotte, provides them with more distressing news about what she knows regarding the Neolutionists' plans for Kira. But being back at Dyad headquarters, Kira may have the best idea of what they want to do to/with her. Even if she is ultimately allowed to call home, Kira knows that any such call will be closely monitored and scrutinized. What happens with Kira may also be affected by Rachel, and what role she will play within the project overall now that Coady is back as lead scientist. Sarah and Mrs. S also hear from Felix and Adele, who are following the money trail in Switzerland. Their new information may take Sarah and Mrs. S in another direction. But they know that one of their most important missions, on Scott and Hell Wizard's lead, remains discovering Westmorland's true identity. Meanwhile, Coady is reunited with someone from her past, that person who she hopes will remain on her side. And Alison returns home from her California retreat, in many ways unrecognizable to Donnie.
8Guillotines Decide
Now that Sarah and Mrs. S have Kira back, they need to get her into a safe place. The activity around their house is remarkably quiet which Sarah believes is not a good sign. However, Mrs. S would like them now to focus on other things in their lives, namely Felix's first art exhibit in two years, he and Adele who have come back from their sleuthing in Switzerland. This exhibit is important for Felix as major art dealers and critics will be in attendance. All the sisters who are around - Sarah, Alison and Cosima - know the role they are to play in Felix's big day. However, Sarah can't help but believe that Mrs. S is up to something. Cosima can't ask Delphine, Mrs. S's recent partner in crime, in their new "don't ask, don't tell" relationship. If Sarah were to discover what Mrs. S and Delphine are up to, she may not agree with what they hope will be their final attempts to bring Neolution down for good. Meanwhile, Gracie is still at the convent with Helena, the latter unaware of Gracie's true purpose for being there, which is not a need for sanctuary following Mark's death.
9One Fettered Slave
Sarah, Felix and Kira mourning the death of S coincides with they and the other sisters learning from Sister Irina that Helena has been kidnapped. The sisters' first thought is that she has been taken to the island, but they figure that the one person who they now may seemingly be able to trust to some extent that would know for sure is Rachel. Rachel is only able to fill in some of the pieces. However, with news of Dyad's involvement in the genetics project hitting the media, Interpol has been called in to take over from the police the investigation of the deaths of some Dyad board members. While this may pose some problems for Art, he knows that Enger too is someone who probably knows Helena's whereabouts. The sisters also believe that Al-Khatib may be useful under the current circumstances, where he is trying to protect himself from what is going on with the Board. Meanwhile, Westmorland is becoming more desperate for a cure as he knows he is close to death without it, he ordering action be taken on Helena earlier than she may be ready. Under this circumstance, Coady, as the lead scientist, has to decide where her priorities lie: still with Westmorland; to Mark as the remaining Castor; or to the actual science. And as action is taken upon Helena, she may her own thoughts about what is best for herself and her unborn children, taking into account her entire existence, where she long believed she was the original and now knows she is only one of the clones.
10To Right the Wrongs of Many
Helena and Sarah were able to escape from Coady, but not before Helena's water broke. Still in the Dyad facility, they have to remain elusive from Coady, Westmorland and their operatives including Enger. Westmorland is becoming increasingly desperate as his health quickly deteriorates, meaning he needs Helena's babies now for a cure. While staying hidden from their adversaries, Sarah still has to help Helena deliver the babies, which means finding a safe, clean place for her to deliver, and the necessary equipment which would be located somewhere in the facility. What Sarah and Helena are unaware of is that Art is also at Dyad trying to help them. Whoever is able to get the babies will be able to use them as the cure, which if that is Helena and her sisters means that their next step will be to find and help as many other Ledas as they can. If Sarah is able to make it out of this situation alive, she will have to decide how best to move on with her life with Kira, which also means doing it without S.
