A New Clone Is Introduced In Orphan Black Season 5 Clip
Orphan Black won't be pulling any punches in its fifth and final season. A new clip from The Final Trip finds Helena inadvertently killing one of her own sestras, showing that the final season will be toying with viewers' emotions from start to finish.
The clip begins with Helena looking at a knife, saying ominously, "I will cleanse them from this earth." She walks into a church with determination and stabs a woman from behind, but when she turns her over and sees her face, she realizes the woman is one of her clones– one it looks like we haven't met yet. Helena begins to murmur "no" as she watches her sister die in her arms.
Some believe that this may be a flashback, considering Helena's murderous ways in earlier seasons. Another clue leading to the idea that this clip doesn't take place in the present day is that Helena, while we only get a few full shots of her body, doesn't appear to be pregnant, as she is in the current timeline. (This could happen after she has her babies, though.)
Here is the synopsis for the premiere, titled "The Few Who Dare": Sarah is deeply wounded and struggling to stay alive on the Island. Driven deep into its forest by Neolutionists and worse, she strives to make it far enough to rescue Cosima. Meanwhile, a recovering Cosima reunites with Delphine, but there's way more going on this Island than Cosima imagined and Delphine can't give her all the answers she needs. What is clear is that Rachel is now in firmly in charge at the right-hand of the 170-year-old founder of Neolution, PT Westmorland. Back home, Neolution puts the screws to Alison and Donnie in their hunt for Helena. The sestras couldn't be further apart when they need most to be together.
We unfortunately won't know for sure what's going on in the dramatic clip until Orphan Black's final season premieres on June 10 at 10 p.m. on BBC America. Tatiana Maslany, Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kevin Hanchard, Ari Millen, Kristian Bruun, Skyler Wexler, and Evelyne Brochu star in the sci-fi series, which comes from Graeme Manson and John Fawcett.
