Sarah asks her foster brother Felix Dawkins (Jordan Gavaris) to identify Beth's body as Sarah's to buy time for her scheme, and throw her drug-dealer boyfriend Victor Schmidt (Michael Mando) off her trail.

31 | 1 | "The Collapse of Nature" | John Fawcett | Graeme Manson | April 14, 2016 | 0.229[29] |
Through flashbacks set prior to the beginning of the series, a woman wearing a sheep mask (later revealed to be a Leda clone known as M.K.) witnesses two paramedics, Frank and Roxie, burying a man in the forest. The woman calls Beth Childs. Beth and Art visit the crime scene and discover the dead man's cheek chopped out and identify him as a Neolution follower. Beth visits Club Neolution in hope of acquiring information on his identity, meeting Trina, a body-mod, who informs her of the directed-evolutionary nature of Neolution. Beth visits Aldous Leekie hoping to gain more information and connecting the murder with the group; he is seen with Evie Cho, his right-hand woman, who takes a fascination with the Leda clone. Beth's relationship with Cosima and Alison is purely business; she trains Alison in gun defense and aids in Cosima's studies. Disillusioned by her relationship with Paul, Beth goes to Art's house and the two have sex. In the middle of the night, Trina contacts Beth as she is concerned for her boyfriend. Directed by her, Beth discovers Roxie and Frank killing Trina's boyfriend, under the guise of operating on his cheek, overseen by Detective Duko. Beth inadvertently attracts their attention in her attempts to flee, and mistakenly shoots a seemingly innocent bystander—later revealed to be Prolethian Maggie Chen. She calls Art, who helps cover for her, placing a mobile phone in her hand to justify Beth firing. Detective Duko is positioned to help Beth through the investigation, unaware that Beth knows his real role. Realizing her doom, she visits M.K. and falls asleep in her trailer. In the present, Sarah's Icelandic retreat is interrupted by a phone call from M.K., who warns that "Neolution knows where you are. They're coming for Kendall Malone. You need to run, right now!" | ||||||

Following M.K.'s warning, Sarah decides to flee Iceland with Kira, Mrs. S and Kendall and return home. Helena learns that she is having identical twins which causes Alison to yearn for her own children. Cosima remains upset about Delphine's disappearance. Sarah decides that to learn about Neolution they must make contact with M.K., a recluse, and with Art's help, begins to investigate Beth's final days, knowing she was in contact with M.K. Sarah and Art discover that Beth was spying on Paul with surveillance equipment borrowed from Raj, with the tapes also revealing Beth was contacted by Trina. Sarah and Felix go to the Neolution club, where the two argue when Felix reveals he has been searching for his birth family. They split and Sarah encounters Dizzy who believes that she is M.K.; he shows her a video of an operation on a Neolution follower which kills him when the bot implanted in his cheek is ruptured. She quickly leaves and tries to meet M.K. who, via phone, reveals she is feared 'it' would kill Sarah like it killed Beth, before fleeing the scene when she is spotted by Sarah. Through flashbacks, on the night Beth kills herself, she tells M.K. to "watch the others". Sarah is attacked by Neolution paramedics believing her to be M.K. When they discover it is actually Sarah, they retreat. Sarah runs home and discovers she already has a bot implanted in her cheek. Kendall reveals to Scott that she has leukemia but has not told the others. | ||||||
33 | 3 | "The Stigmata of Progress" | Ken Girotti | Aubrey Nealon | April 28, 2016 | 0.242[31] |
Ira, a new Castor clone raised outside of the military by Susan, examines Rachel’s new eye. Susan, Charlotte’s new guardian, returns to the Island after unsuccessfully attempting to track down Kendall. Cosima examines Sarah’s bot but they are unsure of its purpose. Alison and Donnie begin to dig up Dr. Leekie’s body in the hope that he possesses an implanted bot for Cosima to study (as most high level Neolutionists do). As they begin to excavate, the police arrive to investigate the murder of Pouchy’s drug ring, who were in possession of Vote Alison Hendrix campaign material, forcing Helena to play Alison while detectives interrogate her. Sarah meets Felix’s biological sister, Adele, and immediately doubts her intentions, causing Sarah and Felix to split on bad terms. Alison and Donnie inform Cosima that they killed Leekie and have his bot for her to examine. With Art’s intel, Sarah visits a dental clinic where one of the employees recognizes her as Beth, who previously investigated there. She promises to remove the bot but seemingly pierces it instead, telling Sarah that she cannot move as the toxins will kill her and that she has contacted her superiors, calling her lucky to be implanted with the technology. Ferdinand arrives instead, killing the dentist and freeing Sarah as she would already be dead had the bot actually been pierced. Susan, after telling Rachel that she does not love her, apologizes for her detachment and informs her that their purpose is for the greater good; to control human evolution and create a more perfect human being. | ||||||
34 | 4 | "From Instinct to Rational Control" | Peter Stebbings | Alex Levine | May 5, 2016 | 0.218[32] |
Ferdinand, having saved Sarah, convinces them to decrypt Rachel's message, as he has contacts that will allow Sarah's bot removal. After Leekie's head containing the bot is delivered to Cosima, she and Scott begin investigating its true purpose. Trina, mistaking Alison for Beth, confronts her in a diner for investigating Lifespring Fertility Clinic, having been a carrier and trusting Beth in confidence. Sarah blames Alison for not carrying her weight which causes Felix to step in and help; under the guise of a gay couple looking to adopt, he and Donnie visit the clinic looking for information on Brightborn conception technologies. With Alison becoming more emotional about her fertility issues, Helena buries her expired nitrogen eggs and leaves the Hendrixes behind. Sarah goes to M.K. for help decrypting the files, who later realizes that Sarah is acting on behalf of Ferdinand. M.K. lures him to Beth's house and tricks him into sitting on a pressure bomb. She confronts him on the Helsinki event, which wiped out multiple clones and their friends and family, including M.K.'s best friend Niki, another Leda clone. She reveals that she is actually Veera Suominen, a clone that escaped the purge and now plans on avenging those responsible for the deaths. Sarah turns up to stop her, needing Ferdinand alive to help remove the bot in her cheek, which Cosima has discovered is performing gene editing to change her DNA. M.K. then leaves with Ferdinand's money and Mrs. S defuses the bomb. Elsewhere, knowing Charlotte is sick, Rachel makes the case that Charlotte should be left to die, refusing to intervene with her illness as the data would be invaluable. In both ensuring her own survival and spiting her mother, Rachel's decision sees Susan then reveal that she is aware of Rachel's contact with Ferdinand. Cosima and Scott watch the Brightborn Fertility package, presented by Evie Cho. | ||||||
35 | 5 | "Human Raw Material" | David Wellington | Kate Melville | May 12, 2016 | 0.223[33] |
Sarah discovers that Brightborn owns GeneConnexion, the company that united Felix and Adele and sends their DNA to Scott to run a familial match. Cosima goes undercover at Brightborn with Donnie, posing as a surrogate mother. There, the two discover Evie Cho is present, fearing that the high-level Neo would recognize a clone. At the same time, Krystal Goderitch continues investigating and poses as a prospective parent. Evie spots her and informs Susan (who visits alongside Ira) but has mistaken her for Sarah. Susan meets Cosima, who is unaware of her identity, and discuss Brightborn’s technicalities; Cosima also steals her swipe card that gives her access to secure areas. Elsewhere, an uninvited Adele turns up to a family meal and after an argument with Felix, Sarah discovers that the two are indeed related and apologizes. Donnie runs into Krystal, who reveals her findings – Dyad and Brightborn are putting stem cells in cosmetics – that prove to be misguided with slight grounding. Krystal is then locked in a room, thought to be Cosima, by Roxie and when released, spots Ira and begins to scream. Cosima is pulled into a pregnancy where the baby is delivered with severe deformities. When Susan walks in, Cosima finally realizes who she is and the two dispute the moralities of the pregnancies. Susan offers Cosima the opportunity to collaborate with them and to create a cure using the original’s genome. | ||||||
36 | 6 | "The Scandal of Altruism" | Grant Harvey | Chris Roberts | May 19, 2016 | 0.248[34] |
Through a flashback, Beth enters a private Brightborn event, with Susan and Evie in attendance. When Susan leaves the room, Beth follows and holds a gun to her head, threatening to kill her. Susan argues that as the leader of Neolution, she is also protecting them and that she genuinely loves the clones. Beth leaves without shooting. In the present, Sarah and Cosima, running out of time, decide to take up Susan’s offer to share Kendall’s genome, without consulting Mrs. S. Evie confirms that Sarah’s bot is attempting to isolate the gene making them sick by activating specific genes in Sarah. Refusing to give the Castor pathogen by sharing Kendall’s genome, Cosima suggests isolating the Leda cell line, using Kendall’s cancer cells which have multiplied from a single Leda gene and thus have not impacted the Castor gene line. After Evie and Cosima remove Sarah’s bot, she returns home to find Kendall’s cigarettes in a pool of blood and that Kendall cannot be contacted. Sarah destroys the samples and they take Susan hostage, believing she orchestrated the abduction; in turn, Cosima is taken hostage at Brightborn. Elsewhere, Krystal turns up at the police station and Art arranges for her to meet with Felix. Krystal later reveals that she saw Delphine get shot. Sarah believes Ira is behind the attack after denying him a cure but he is found unconscious after attempting suicide. Brightborn wipes Scott and Cosima’s research and they realize that Evie is behind the attack, wanting Leda destroyed. Duko prepares to burn Kendall to death and destroy Leda’s hope of a cure, as instructed by Evie. Evie grants Cosima permission to say goodbye before Kendall is murdered. Evie tells Cosima that Delphine was shot dead before instructing her to tell Susan that the original is dead and to tell Sarah that it is over or Beth died for nothing. It is then revealed that Evie misled Beth to kill Susan and, having not followed through, threatens Beth by saying that she knows too much and should use the gun on herself to save her sisters. Beth, after physically attacking Evie, is shown walking to the train platform after saying goodbye to M.K. | ||||||
37 | 7 | "The Antisocialism of Sex" | David Frazee | Nikolijne Troubetzkoy and Graeme Manson | May 26, 2016 | 0.258[35] |
With their hope of a cure gone, Sarah and Cosima both attempt to come to terms with their input in the deal that led to Kendall’s death. Alison pushes forward with Gemma’s birthday party to maintain a sense of normality. Susan returns to the Island and informs Rachel of the creator of Neolutionism, Dr. P.T. Westmoreland, noting that he built the facilities they live in over a century ago. Mrs. S disowns Sarah who begins to spin off the rails, drinking, partying and taking drugs. Sarah’s story starts to parallel Beth’s and she begins to hallucinate her. Art confirms that it was Detective Duko that pulled the trigger and killed Kendall and proceeds to attack him; Duko tells him that Neolution are after him next. Evie has pending approval for her gene therapy technology and plans to dissemble Leda for their assets, cutting loose naive clones and terminating the self-aware clones, while refusing to allow Rachel to take a position of importance within Neolution. Police interrupt the Hendrix slumber party and arrest Donnie on suspicion of narcotics trafficking. Duko then shows up and ominously says that he and Alison will be staying in touch. Sarah finds herself at the train station where Beth killed herself, conversing with her one last time. Cosima begins experimenting on herself by inserting Sarah’s bot (which she stole from Brightborn) in her own cheek as a desperate cure, as it is risk versus reward, suggesting that her death could help the clones learn about the disease. Felix talks her out of it, informing her that Krystal saw Delphine get carried away, alive, after she was shot. Felix then arrives at the train station, where Sarah contemplates jumping. He talks her out of it and she steps down, hugging and returning home. M.K. hacks Kira’s computer, who Kira calls the girl in the shadows. Rachel hallucinates something in her eye – a swan. | ||||||
38 | 8 | "The Redesign of Natural Objects" | Aaron Morton | Peter Mohan | June 2, 2016 | 0.245[36] |

He reveals the Neolution threat and believes he won’t survive his prison sentence. M.K. contacts Sarah and meets Cosima, revealing that she has traced Susan and Rachel’s location, revealing Evie’s plan to dissemble Leda and her threat to wipe out the sisters. Cosima, thanks to M.K., contacts Susan on the Island to scientifically team up. Susan agrees, but Cosima forces Rachel (and Ira) out, refusing to trust them. After sending Sarah more information on Duko, M.K. begins coughing up blood, damned with the same disease killing the Leda clones. Mrs. S, furious over the death of her mother, takes out her sniper rifle to kill Duko. However, when she prepares to shoot, Alison drives up to him for a meeting. Duko gives her an ultimatum; turn over Sarah’s location or allow Donnie to die, revealing Alison and Donnie are simply caught in the crossfire and Neolution only want Sarah. After being given the day to think about it, a fraught Alison is visited by Felix. Offering support, Alison seemingly makes the deal, giving Duko Sarah’s location when Donnie is threatened with death. Unbeknownst to Duko, he walks into a trap and after revealing Evie’s plan to implant bots into millions under the guise of gene therapy and calling off the attack on Donnie, Mrs. S shoots him dead. Cosima comes up with a possible cure; fertilizing Leda eggs with Castor sperm from Ira to create an embryonic stem cell. Sarah hesitantly agrees; and with Sarah’s eggs, Cosima flies to the Island where Susan waits to work with her. Rachel’s swan hallucinations become more vivid and frequent and she vows to return home to work on restoring Susan’s place in Neolution. | ||||||
39 | 9 | "The Mitigation of Competition" | David Frazee | Alex Levine | June 9, 2016 | 0.291[37] |
Evie prepares for a press conference regarding the government approval of her bot technology, which uses germline editing to alter DNA. Sarah and Rachel, begrudgingly, team up to bring down Evie; two carriers, Tabitha and Kendra, fled BrightBorn and captured video evidence of deformed newborn being euthanized and Rachel suggests that they must find them before Evie does. Art visits a pregnancy shelter and discovers one of the girls, Tabitha, to be dead, supposedly committing suicide. Sarah sees Trina leave the shelter who, believing her to be Beth, tells her that Tabitha’s death was not a suicide and suggested Kendra would flee to Tisdale. Donnie is released from prison and Adele begins to become suspicious, furthered when Helena returns from hibernation and arrives at Felix’s apartment. After a standoff, Adele agrees not to ask questions and leaves for home. Sarah and Art track down Kendra and eventually convince her to go with them, just as Neolution arrive. Art holds them off while Kendra calms the baby, receiving a call from Rachel threatening to give her other son to Neolution if she does not go with Ira. Seeing this as a play, Sarah storms to Ira who reveals that Rachel is with Evie. Rachel, under the guise of wanting to make a deal with Evie and become head of Neolution in exchange for the footage, records Evie revealing that Brightborn’s euthanizes deformed newborns, which is then uploaded to every major news channel, causing the reporters to mob Evie as Rachel looks on. Neolution paramedic Frank captures Alison and Donnie for information on Duko’s disappearance. He ties them up attempts to insert a fatal bot in Alison’s cheek but Helena bursts in, saving them by killing Frank. Rachel’s hallucinations intensify and she sees a tribe-like village, a decapitated swan and a bearded man staring at her on the island. Delphine is shown to be alive. | ||||||
