The next day, Proclone Rachel watches as Paul sets up a meet with Sarah.

But Sarah is too smart for Rachel’s bullshit, so she has a skater give Paul a burner phone so they can talk unmonitored. She finds out that Rachel will be getting on a plane with Kira tomorrow, but she’ll be at the big Dyad party that night. Also, her henchman Daniel is coming after her.

Said henchman Daniel goes to chase down Sarah in the skate park, but he’s fooled by a skater girl who tells him that Sarah says “up yours!”. Sarah is better at this spy shit than actual spies.

And by "yours" she means your butt hole, get it?

Sarah hops on a bus and borrows a child’s cell phone to call Cosima and Felix. The kid asks to touch her boob, which…get in line, kid.

No, I don't wanna buy weed from you, I was hoping you'd just give it to me.

Felix and Cosima are sharing a joint at his apartment, and Cosima wants to go to the Dyad party to find some answers.

What do you mean this is indica?! I have a research paper due!

Meanwhile, Allison hits up her connection Ramone, who is a young guy working at Economart. Turns out that Ramone sells all manner of drugs in addition to guns. What an enterprising youth.

Delphine goes to Dyad to see Dr. Leekie, who remains creepy as fuck. She brings him Cosima’s blood sample AND refers to her by her bar code number, which is way harsh Tai. She says she’s invested and wants to help Cosima.

Look, I know that scissoring wasn't in your job description, but...

Dr. Leekie wants Cosima working for them, and Delphine assures him she’s on it. He tells her to be careful playing for the other team, which is a pretty solid gay/double agent joke. He also seems upset that Cosima is scared of them. Here’s a thought: be less creepy and stalkery and maybe she won’t be so terrified!

I have to go, Cosima needs me to pick up 45 candles

We jump over to Allison’s community theatre rehearsal, which is a delight. Since Ainsley got viciously murdered by her own garbage disposal, Allison will be taking over in the lead role. She starts singing and dancing about dead bodies and plasma. What kind of fucking musical is this?! (It’s Blood Ties apparently).

Art goes out to his new partner Angela (aka Bo’s mom on Lost Girl), who spots Sarah walking to the theatre. They stop her and arrest her.

Allison sees Sarah getting arrested, and scuttles back inside with her contraband gun.
