Let’s pour one out for the original, Clone Club.
In Orphan Black’s "The Scandal of Altruism," the show bid farewell to Kendall Malone, who was killed off by a surprising new villain that was hidden in plain sight: Evie Chen.
The head of BrightBorn was double-crossing Susan Duncan -- and even had Beth try to kill her way back when -- and ultimately stole all of Cosima’s research before making the clone watch Kendall die.

Rough night in the Clone Club, and those weren't the only crazy moments. Let’s catch up with all of the clones in this installment of Keeping Up with the Klones.
Krystal went to the cops to get protective custody from DYAD, who she thinks is a stem cell cosmetics company targeting beauty professionals. Art takes her out of the police station and has Felix come in to tell her the “truth,” but instead, Felix just pretends she’s totally right about the cosmetics industry so she can live a normal life.
He gives her a clone phone for emergencies, but before she can go, she reveals that she saw Delphine get shot at DYAD. But the others don’t find that out right away.

In what may be the last Beth flashback, we see her almostshoot Susan, but she has a change of heart when Susan tells her that killing her won’t stop Neolution.
It’s then we discover that Evie was the one who ordered Beth to kill Susan.
"You set me up! You want to take her place!" she screams at Evie.
“If you run, Neolution will kill everyone you love. You want to save the people you love, use that gun on yourself,” Evie replies.
Beth ends up pistol-whipping Evie until the brink of death, but crooked detective Marty stops Beth. We then see Beth heading to the train station to kill herself, where the whole show began.

Sarah finally gets that freaky bot out of her face, but it comes at a price. They have to give Susan cells from the original, Kendall, for research, and Cosima has to also give up all of the research she did with Scott.
After the cell removal, Kendall leaves for a safe place, but is intercepted and kidnapped by Marty. When Sarah finds a trail of blood, she immediately bleaches all of Kendall’s cells and stops the trade with Susan, but it’s too late. Susan wasn’t behind the kidnapping -- it was all Evie. (Though at first they think it was Ira, who they find ODed in a hotel bathtub.)
And to make matters worse, Evie also used a trojan virus to kill all of Scott and Cosima’s research.
Evie brings Cosima to where Marty has Kendall hostage to tell her that “the clones are obsolete” and they no longer need Kendall to fix people.

“Tell Siobhan she’s done right always, and tell your sisters I am proud to have been part of them all,” Kendall says to Cosima in a tearful goodbye. As Cosima watches Kendall shot and set on fire by Marty, Evie tells her that Delphine was also killed.
“Tell Susan the original’s dead,” Evie commands. “Tell Sarah it’s over, or Beth died for nothing.”
Now that we know Evie is the Big Bad in charge, could Susan start working with Sarah & Co.? It seems like everything the clones thoughtthey knew is a lie, and with Kendall gone and all of Cosima and Scott’s research in Evie’s hands, Cosima is the most in danger with her intense health decline.
I don’t want to say it, but we could be one clone down by season’s end, and things are not looking good for Cosima.
