Orphan Black: The Next Chapter is out and you bet that’s the first thing I listened to this morning.

As much as I love Cophine, I just love the sestra relationship between Sarah and Cosima.

An Orphan Black take on “I Want My Hat Back”

I’m fuCKING SCREAMING

[obstorylines]

Did we ever find out how Delphine got wrapped up in Dyad & Neolution? Leekie convinced Donnie it was an experiment and held stuff over Paul's head, but how did Delphine end up working with him? I just can't see her rolling up into Dyad and going along with their sketchy last name changing & monitoring if she was there as a scientist. Yet if she was just a Dyad scientist, why did PT save her? There must've been a ton of scientists working at Dyad. Did she know PT first and then get sent to Dyad?

We don’t really know much about Delphine’s origin story. There was that ominous story in S3 about that girl from boarding school Delphine knew “very well” that might reveal a little about her past (Many believe Delphine is referring to herself, including Graeme Manson). But as to how she got wrapped up with DYAD and Neolution, no one really knows. Did DYAD recruit her? Threaten her? Bribe her? Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Cosima-centric OB comic sheds a little light on Delphine’s involvement with the cloning experiments. According to the comics, Delphine was already aware of/involved with the experiments before she was sent to Minnesota to monitor Cosima. But no, I don’t think we ever explicitly learned how Delphine ended up at DYAD. We do know – and Evelyne Brochu has said – that everything changed for Delphine once she met Cosima, though. Love, it’s a hell of a drug.

And PT? I think PT saved Delphine because she was a valuable(!) DYAD scientist. She was aware of Neolution and also had intimate knowledge about the clones and their cure. A knowledge like hers would certainly be a valuable tool to PT and his agenda.

Maybe some other Clone Clubbers can shed some light on this topic? Or perhaps we’ll learn more about Delphine and her origins in that upcoming book “Orphan Black Classified Clone Report.”

If it was Delphine that tried to commit suicide ,do you think she could be like Mud. PT saved her life back then also, it would explain the lack of eye contact(like Mud), she keeps her eyes down cast around him and so placate. I thought that odd, Delphine a strong out going woman but when she around PT she meek and quiet( reminds me of fear from some kind of abuse).<3.

Ooh, interesting observation! I never paid attention to Delphine’s body language when she was interacting with PT. Looks like I’ll have to schedule a re-watch!

In the meantime, does anyone else want to weigh in?

[recombined]

To me it sounds like Delphine has been entrenched in LEDA for a while. Long enough to be intimately familiar with the genome, the work, the illness, and Cosima’s tag number, which she saw “many times” (my assumption is just that she meant before they met). So my question is whether or not she really was investigating LEDA, or was a part of it, or both, or if I’m way off.

[ihavebeenchangedforgood]

Personally, I don’t think Delphine was being placating to PT out of gratitude or indebtedness. For me, her deference was a ruse to keep Cosima and the sisters safe, and to allow her access to the information she needed to bring them all down.

IMO, PT saved her because she was an “asset that still had value”, that value being her intimate knowledge of the program and connection to the Ledas.

As for her induction into Dyad, and the inner circle, I have my own opinion. I think it all started out innocently enough, with Delphine choosing Dyad because of their cutting edge technology in her field. Over time, once she proved her mettle, the inner workings were revealed, and she was “seduced” by the amazing possibilities. As mentioned, her introduction to Cosima changed it all, giving her another perspective, and an opportunity to feel true love.

My two cents worth.
