Sarah was watching her sister just give up, and it was breaking her heart. She had wanted her to rage. When DYAD announced that Dr. Delphine Cormier was killed in a plane crash, they all knew Delphine was murdered. She hoped the anger would help Cosima fight, but instead the clone just fell into a depression, her sickness ravaging her. Sarah's bedside vigil for Cosima was frustrating her. Just sitting there watching and talking to a mostly unconscious girl. She loved Cosima she felt so close to the science nerd, and the fact that her love was not enough to get Cosima through this fight was devastating her. She gently kissed Cosima's forehead before getting up and walking out of the room, into the living room of Cal's cabin. She flung her body on the couch leaning into a supportive Alison. "Any Change?" Alison hopefully asked. "No, she just has given up, I think. Delphine dying was the last blow." Felix looked up sadly from styling Kira's hair. As if the Gods had heard Sarah's frustration Cosima's phone buzzed on the table. Felix grabbing it, the name Shay popped up. Cosima had told them that she had been falling for Shay, cared deeply for her and then the entropy of clone life and secrets destroyed them right as they were beginning.
Felix let the phone go to voicemail, but succumbed to curiosity and he quickly listened to the flashing message.
An airy voice broke the silence. "Cosima, its Shay, I miss you. I am sorry I told you to go. Delphine came to my house after you, she told me she was sorry, she gave me a DYAD card and wrote 324b21 on it, she said we fit and you could tell me everything, if you wanted. So, if you want. I am in, I am all in. I will show up for you. If it's not too late, call me. I am around"
Felix let the information settle in. "Sarah, I have an idea. Listen to this!" he tossed his sister the phone. Sarah's eyes widened as she listened. Delphine had visited Shay? She could have information. After Sarah had listened to the message. Felix chimed in. "I have an idea. What do we know about our little sickly geek monkey? We know, that she does best when she is in love. I think we should bring Shay here. It will give Cosima some hope. And we can see if she knows anything else." Sarah looked to her family getting a nod from Alison and a happy yes from Kira. That was all it took and she hit redial.
Shay was still trying to get used to the punk rock version of Cosima sitting across from her at the table. Shay shook her head and shifted in her seat. "I am sorry, it's so weird. Cosima told me you were a friend, not an identical twin."
"Ugh, yeah, we will get to that. I came here to see how much you care about Cosima. What does she mean to you?"
Shay smiled and looked down. "Well the month we spent together was amazing. Until Delphine broke in and accused me of being a corporate spy and threatened my life. Cosima couldn't tell me why, and I can't have lies like that in my life. But if I am honest, I was starting to fall for her. I care about her, I kind of can't get her out of my mind." Shay took a sip of tea and exhaled a sad sigh.
Sarah nodded "She feels the same, we have talked about you." Sarah smiled at the bohemian girl. "She told me, what you had was good." The sensitive and protective side of Sarah showing. Shay smiled "Sarah, no offense but why are you here then, and not her?"
Sarah gave the blonde a coy smile "I'm sizing you up Blondie. Had to make sure you were a good idea. Cos does not need any extra bullshit right now. So I am going to give you a choice, you can pick Cosima and the truth, or not and we will leave you alone. But, if I tell you the truth your life is going to change. You will get Cosima and all her love, and you will get all of our problems. Let me tell you, that part is bloody awful. So Shay." The punk stared down the blonde. "What do you choose?"
