5/5

Forget the Castor-Leda binary. Susan Duncan and Kendall Malone are the yin and yang of Orphan Black. This epiphany struck me about halfway through "The Scandal of Altruism," a gorgeous monstrosity of an episode.

A+

This was the type of Orphan Black episode that fans have longed for since the second season, and it absolutely ups the game heading into the fourth season's final stretch.

We're now six episodes in, and especially after this game-changer of an hour, I really think this is the best Orphan Black has been since season 1.

8/10

This episode, like many others, makes a case for the human cost of all the experimentation, regardless of good or bad intent. That it achieves such a visceral effect is yet another example of how good Orphan Black is.

4.75/5

With the shocking twist at the end of Orphan Black Season 4 Episode 6, we're catapulted into the final four installments of the season with absolutely no idea where it can go from here.
