She didn't look very happy about [[spoiler:Evie]] telling her she wasn't needed. Rachel may have been [[BreakTheHaughty severely broken]] over the past couple of seasons, but she's still proud enough to be unlikely to let an insult like that stand. She also isn't likely to ignore the fact that, if Neolution is targeting [[spoiler:the other self-aware Leda clones as Evie claims they will]], that can't bode well for her own security. Neither side is likely to trust the other at first, but her interests seem increasingly to be aligning with those of Clone Club, and she's presumably too shrewd to ignore that.

* [[spoiler:The show doesn’t officially bring the nature versus nurture debate into the clones’ personalities, but season 3 does indeed reveal that the CASTOR clones are mostly quite similar to one each other. Mark is the clear outlier, and that appears to be due in no small part to [[LoveRedeems falling in love with Gracie]].]]

more theories about who shot Delphine ... or did anyone?



to:

* Makes sense, since Delphine's "What will happen to her?" remark suggests the shooter is someone else who knows Cosima well.




to:

* But see above. There's no evidence Marion has seen Cosima, much less cares for her enough for Delphine to ask her about it.

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Scott]] shot Delphine]]
* He'd be the last character you'd imagine doing ''anything'' like that.
* The echoing footsteps after the shooting sound hard and loud, not like what you'd expect Shay's to sound like
* But he cares very much about Cosima (And see next)

[[WMG: Delphine is faking her death]]
* Delphine had to know that taking Rachel's position makes it more likely that she will be killed, especially now that she knows the truth about Neolution. So why not stage her death before it happens for real, and go into hiding like so many other characters in the series did at one point?
* She's shot in the abdomen, not the chest. It would produce a lot of blood, enough to make it look as if she were murdered if her body weren't also there. But with prompt care she could survive the wound and recover.
* The sound of the gunshot also seems unusually weak for a firearm in an empty parking garage, even one with a silencer. Maybe it's not really a firearm she was shot with?
* And why go to a parking garage, [[GenreSavvy such an obvious place for an attempt to be made on your life]], if you expect someone to try to kill you? Unless you've already planned it with someone else to make it look like you ''were'' killed.
* And yes, she could fool the Neoloutionists, who seem not to know exactly what happened to Leekie (who, in fairness, they were probably going to kill off themselves pretty soon anyway).
