2
3	----
4	!!This episode contains examples of:
5
6	* BlatantLies: Sarah and Felix both try to reassure Helena that everything's fine, they're not in trouble, and there's no need for Helena to stick around and help them. Neither of them are very convincing.
7	* BloodSplatteredInnocents: Alison gets splattered with Frank's blood when Helena shoots him in the neck, and is appropriately horrified.
8	* ChekhovMIA: Sarah notices Frank is not with his partner when she shows up to snatch Kendra. Frank later turns up at the Hendrix's.
9	* ChekhovsSkill: Helena has taken up archery. It comes in handy at the end of the episode.
10	* TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch: Tabitha committed suicide. Pay no attention to the obvious defensive wounds on her hands.
11	* CrisisOfFaith: Alison spends a lot of the episode struggling to pray, and feeling that she "hasn't been a very good Christian."
12	* DyingTown: Evie Cho's home town Tisdale. The economy is bad enough there that she's been using it as a convenient source of surrogate mothers for her experiments.
13	* DynamicEntry: Helena shows up at the Hendrixes' house just in time to stop Frank from implanting a glitchy cheek-bot in Alison.
14	* EnemyMine: Clone Club spends most of the episode working with the Duncans to find a cure and bring down Evie.
15	* EngineeredPublicConfession: Rachel gets Evie to say on camera that she's been giving infants birth defects and then euthanizing them.
16	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Donnie notices the cops are gone from the front of the house and an ambulance has pulled up instead. Within seconds he's being held by Frank, still in an EMT outfit.
17	* MediaScrum: Evie's press conference devolves into one of these after Ira sends Evie's confession to all the reporters in the room.
18	* TheReveal: Delphine is definitely alive, and is on the island.
19	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Adele has had enough of Felix's significant omissions, and Helena freaks her out, so she leaves him to his "real family."
20	* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Rachel doesn't tell Sarah and Art (or the audience) about her plan to record Evie, so we're left believing that she's about to betray them until Ira shows them the laptop with the video feed.
