Orphan Black 4x04 From Instinct to Rational Control

Whoa, does Mika plan to blow up DYAD?

Hey, I know info on props isn't exactly canon (unless it's confirmed). Bet let me just:
Scott has a last name! And he was born in Detroit on October 7th '86.
And Delphine is from Lille, December 21st '84.
DYAD is so multiculti!
Huh, Scott & Danielle's employment was only suspended, while Cosima's was terminated. What does that mean? Oh, Cos was born in San Francisco? In 2015, apparently. XD
Whoa, Nealon was born in Austria! Huh, his record says he's dead, but Daniel Rosen's record doesn't.

Wait, is Mika offing Topside board members? There were a sir and a senator on the board!
Okay, she does it for Niki (Maybe she was killed in Helsinki?), another blonde clone. Can we please have one with her hair dyed a natural red? I'd also like to have at least one with a different body type.

"The head of DYAD". I LOL'd.

Ooh, Trina.
Well, I hope Alison's phone taking a picture wasn't actually audible.

I'm glad Siobhan is bringing the family together. I just wish it had the desired effect of Sarah and Felix getting along again.

That lower floor of the Hendrix house still doesn't make any sense to me with what we've seen from outside.

Hee, Alison has done some nice research on Lifespring Fertility.

Naturally the Donnie-and-Felix-as-a-couple thing was a bit cringeworthy. Until Felix imparts some knowledge.
OMG, Donnie and Alison getting sexy. XD

Mika doesn't trust Sarah anymore because she found out Sarah's contact is Ferdinand. Ooh, did he do Helsinki?

Sarah is so desperate now that she breaks the first rule of Clone Club!

Aw, Helena is burying her container of fertilized eggs.
She's leaving? Where is she going?

Is that text really from Sarah or did Mika send it, planning to blow up Ferdinand? I was already paranoid when Sarah went back to Beth's house - I couldn't help remembering when Helena pretended to be Sarah and killed their bio mom.

Whoa, the wormbots change the carrier's DNA?! But why would they do that with Sarah, when she's a success? I mean, she didn't turn out the way they wanted her, but at least she can't get that sickness the others can get!

Ha, that sounds like Mika, not Sarah - Ferdinand is so doomed.

Cool, due to the close relationship of German and Dutch I can totally guess what "Moeder en tweelingdochters door door auto-ongeluk op de snelweg bij Amsterdam" means, without having to put it through Google Translate. It doesn't say if they died or were just injured. So maybe Mika was one of the twins and the other one was Niki?
Had to translate "17-vuotias kadoksissa Helsingissä" though. Can't tell if the photo of the missing girl is of a clone. And there's no date to tell if it fits with the other clones' ages. If she's a clone, the article should be from 2001 or early 2002.
Anyway, ha! We're back to Helsinki!

Wait, so Mika isn't Dutch? Or is she both Dutch and Finnish? Ooh, she herself was supposed to be a Helsinki victim!

Where did Sarah read Mika's real name? It's not the name under the picture of the missing girl, who - now that I've seen the photo closer - does look like a clone.

"Neljän hengen perhe kuoli kartanon tulipalossa Tapiolassa" - I see in Finnish they count souls - in German we count heads. In English that would be "family of four", not "quadruple family", I should probably inform Google Translate of that. Unless that's not proper Finnish. I wonder if they got help from an actual Finnish speaker or used Google Translate themselves.
Okay, I'm slow. All these articles are about the Helsinki victims, so that means it should have happened in 2001! Though I'm not sure how an "accident" near Amsterdam makes these Helsinki. And where did Veera get that scar? Was she in the house with Niki? How could Ferdinand only have suspected that one clone escaped the purge?
