Cosima had left to go to her lab and work with Delphine, so Roisin and Felix were left alone in Felix's flat. There was an awkward silence between the two, but luckily for them it didn't last long as Sarah had walked in with Helena.
"Oh another clone." Roisin uttered
Sarah nodded, "Yeah. Rosie, this is my twin sister Helena." She looked at her twin, "Helena, this is my sister Rosie. She's a clone too. She's one of us."
Helena waved at Roisin, "Hello sestra."
"It's nice to meet you, Helena." Roisin replied
Roisin walked over to Sarah and took Helena over to the couch to lay down, while Sarah stepped aside to talk to Felix.
"You do realize I'm going to have to paint this to come to terms with it?" Felix asked with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Please don't." Sarah pleaded half-heartedly as she sighed
Felix nodded, "Yeah, you're right. I mean, you shot your evil twin sister dead only to have her arise and gut Rachel's henchman. Plus our older sister who is also a clone has returned after sixteen years. How could I capture the nuance?"
"Believe me, you couldn't." Sarah answered
Felix got closer to Sarah and whispered, "You are now pitted between two psychopaths. And we still have to find a way to save Rosie's children from Dyad. Cut her loose."
"If she hadn't shown up, I'd be dead." Sarah pointed out
"She can't stay here, Sarah! She's not…" Felix started as he uncrossed his arms.
Sarah interrupted, "Oi, just get her something to wear. Please?"
"Fine." Felix huffed as he turned and headed towards his closet, "I'm sure I've got a Ukrainian folk costume in here somewhere."
Helena picks up her head and hisses at Felix, who jumps a little bit away from her.
"Hey." Roisin called, "Hey, hey, hey. You treat him with respect. You got it?"
"Yeah. That's my brother, which means he's one of our sisters. Family. You get it, meathead?" Sarah added
Helena looked up over at Sarah, "Do not call me this."
"Do you understand, Helena?" Sarah inquired
Helena tilted her head at her twin sister and then looked over at Felix, "He is sestra?"
Felix just rolled his eyes, while Roisin replied, "Exactly. So pick some clothes, wash up, and do everything he tells you to."
"Thank you, Felix." Helena replied as she stood up and walked to the bathroom
"Just don't kill my rubber ducky." Felix told her.
After Felix watched Helena enter the bathroom, he turned to Sarah and Roisin. He shook his head unable to find the words to say.
"What happened to her?" Roisin wondered
Sarah shook her head, "I don't know."
"Yeah. She was with some weird fish cult freaks." Felix disclosed,"What did they do to her?"
"She wouldn't say." Sarah informed, "But I know somebody who could handle her, and maybe he could find out. I just need you two to chaperon her."
Felix sighed as he rolled his head, "Oh come on."
"If you would, while I get my shit together, please." Sarah said
"Anything for you, Sarah." Roisin assured
Felix picked up his computer and handed it to Sarah, "Take this. Go talk to your daughter."
Sarah smiled at both Felix and Roisin, "Thank you both." She kissed Felix's hand and then left the flat leaving Felix alone with their older sister once again.
Meanwhile at the Dyad institute, a nurse came into Lorcan's room to take him to do some tests as requested by Rachel.
"Lorcan, do you have any idea how special you are?" The nurse told him as she walked over to him.
"No, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me." Lorcan retorted. He didn't understand what Rachel wanted with him. He knew he was different, but he didn't think he was different enough to warrant being tested.
The nurse nodded, "Yeah. You are so, so special. Your mother and your Aunt Sarah are the only clones that are able to reproduce, which means you and your sister are literally a million to one chance."
"Yeah. Okay. My mother is not a clone and I don't have an aunt." Lorcan replied
"Would you like to meet one of your mother's genetic sisters?" The nurse asked, "I have to take you to have tests done at our lab, so it wouldn't be that much of an inconvenience to take you to meet a clone."
Lorcan shrugged, "Sure whatever. But I also want to see my sister."
"Not just yet." The nurse told him as she ushered him out of the room and into the lab where Delphine and Cosima were.
"Cosima." The nurse called, "This is your nephew Lorcan. His mother Roisin was one of the unmonitored clones like Sarah and Helena."
Lorcan saw Cosima and just stared at her. He didn't know what to say. Cosima looked just like his mother, except she had dark brown hair instead of the red hair that his mother had.
Cosima looked between the nurse and Delphine. She was appalled. 'What is he doing here?' She thought. She knew that Delphine was trying her best to make sure that no one went after Kira. Why wasn't Delphine protecting this boy too? 'Maybe I should give Delphine the benefit of the doubt?' Cosima thought, 'Maybe she didn't know about Lorcan. His mother is an unmonitored clone after all.'.
"It's nice to meet you, Lorcan. I'm Dr. Cormier, but you can call me Delphine." Delphine said as she walked over to the teen.
Lorcan blinked his eyes rapidly a few times, "Uh..It's nice to meet you too, Dr. Cormier." He then turned his attention back to Cosima. He still didn't know what to say to her. He was in shock about how much she looked like his mother.
Cosima finally smiled as she walked over to Lorcan and hugged him, "It's nice to meet you, Lorcan."
"Yeah. You too." Lorcan uttered. This was all too much for him. He really just wanted to go home to his mum, but what concerned him was the telepathic message that he got from his sister. The message that said 'I have a feeling we're all in danger'. And his sister was usually right about these feelings of hers. She was a very special and gifted little girl.
While Delphine took blood from Lorcan, Cosima held the teen's hand and she talked to him to distract him from the needle and the blood because he'd admitted beforehand that he hates nettles and the sight of blood.
Cosima talked to Lorcan about his aunts and his cousin and he told her about his sister, and that Rachel wouldn't let him see her. Delphine spoke up and assured him that she would arrange for him and his sister to see each other.
Lorcan felt grateful and he gave a smile, but he wasn't sure if he believed her. He couldn't feel Delphine like he could feel Cosima. He couldn't explain why he felt what he felt with Cosima. Especially since he'd just met her and it felt like he'd known her his entire life. All he knew was that he felt a connection to her, and he knew that he would be able to tell when she was lying just like he could with his mother.
Back with Roisin, she was walking down a long hallway in an apartment building with Helena to drop her off at Arthur Bell's flat. Felix had given her the directions on how to get there and had told Arthur to expect her, but he had stayed back at his own flat to get ready for his hot date after giving Roisin a green clone phone. That was the current colour.
"All right. Best behavior, little, sestra." Roisin told Helena as they were approaching the door, which opened before they knocked on it.
"Hello again, Detective Bell." Helena spoke almost robotically.
Arthur grabbed Helena by the arm, "Inside."
Helena wiggled her arm out of Arthur's grasp and then took off her hat. Roisin entered the apartment after her sister and the detective closing the door behind her.
"Hands on the table." Arthur instructed Helena as he pushed her hands onto the table.
Helena wiggled her shoulders as she objected, "I don't like to be touched."
"Yeah, well, that's too bad." Arthur retorted.
"Felix just gave her new clothes. She doesn't have any weapons or anything like..." Roisin explained to the detective, who was patting down Helena and then pulled out a pen from Helena's right boot. Roisin stopped talking mid sentence, stared at the pen, and then took it, "That's Felix's pen."
"I wanted to write letter." Helena uttered
"I haven't forgotten that you took a shot at me." Arthur reminded her. Helena just chuckles as he turns her around, "Give me your hands."
"Do as he says, meathead." Roisin stated firmly
Arthur handcuffed Helena's hands in front of her and explained that the windows were a thirty foot drop to concrete, all the sharp objects have been locked away, and that they only way in and out is through him. He tells her that she's safe there as he sits her down in a chair. Helena just glares up at him.
"Look, Helena, he wants to help you and Sarah." Roisin said, "He wants to help us."
"He lies down with pigs." Helena uttered and then she started snorting.
Roisin looked stunned, "And that's my cue to leave." She looked at Arthur, "Um, good luck." She opened the door to leave and then gave Arthur one last glance, "Oh, um, try food." Then she made a quick exit and Arthur closed the door behind her.
Later that night, Sarah stayed with Felix to babysit Helena while Roisin took the picture from Maggie Chen's locker to the meeting with Aldous Leekie. Roisin could have stayed to babysit Helena, but she and Felix needed a break from each other.
Aldous was sitting at the bar counter sipping on his glass of wine when Roisin walked over to him with a long hooded trench coat on.
"Dr. Leekie." Roisin called to get his attention
Aldous turned his head to see who was calling him, "You're not Sarah."
"No, I'm not. Sarah couldn't come, so I came in her place." Roisin replied, "I'm Roisin. I'm new to the clone club but I hear that Sarah and I aren't the only data that you lost."
"You have something for me?" Aldous inquired
Roisin pulled the picture out of her pocket, unfolded it, placed it on the table and slid it over to Aldous.
"Professor Ethan Duncan. Alive." Roisin stated
"Where?" Aldous asked
Roisin was looking at Aldous directly in the eyes, "It's vital my brother goes free. All charges dropped."
Aldous sighed, "Find him. I can pull the levers to counterman Rachel and guarantee Cosima will be able to continue the treatment."
"What...what treatment?" Roisin questioned, "Sarah didn't mention anything about Cosima needing any treatment?" She had only met her clone sister once, but she had already become quite fond of her.
"Ah. So they don't share everything." Aldous uttered
Roisin furrowed her eyebrows slightly, "What, is she sick?"
"Unfortunately, yes." Aldous informed
Roisin just looked at him as she blinked her eyes, "With what?"
"I'll let her explain." Aldous said, "But all the more reason to find Duncan. I can buy you three days."
"If anybody follows us, I'm gonna sick Helena on all of you." Roisin spoke fiercely
Aldous raised an eyebrow, "Not an idle threat."
Roisin shook her head, "No, it's not." Then she stood up and walked out of the bar leaving Aldous sitting alone once more.
On the way home, Roisin called Sarah to tell her about how the meeting went and to inform her that Cosima is sick.
After finding out from Roisin that Cosima is sick, Sarah makes a phone call to her sister who answers on the first ring.
"How did the meeting go?" Cosima wondered
"I stayed with Helena and had Roisin go." Sarah responded, "She told me that Dr. Leekie said you're sick."
Cosima sighed, "He shouldn't have said anything."
"You're right, Cos, you should have told me." Sarah sounded half-angry. She took a breath to calm herself and then spoke in a concerned tone, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to worry you. That and I wanted to wait until I had some good news to go with the crappy news. I wanted to have answers. Possibly a cure." Cosima explained
Sarah breathed and let out a sigh, "You still should have told me. Are you going to be alright?"
"The treatment is promising." Cosima replied
"Good. Because I can't do this without you, Cos." Sarah admitted
Sarah could hear a smile in Cosima's voice as she said, "Of course not. I'm the geek monkey."
"I love you, Cosima." Sarah added
"I know. I love you too." Cosima told Sarah
