Does PT know about Castor, what they look like, and their own illness? If he did, I would’ve expected a derisive comment and some of his own acuity testing by now. He won’t be able to keep himself, Susan, or Cosima safe if that’s the case, and we now know PT will put a former test subject down in a heartbeat.
While Ari was right, Susan was trying to get him off topic by acuity testing him, he appears to have been doing the same thing because Cosima caught him glitching. On the whole, not bad sleuthing and trickery for a night’s work. In between all that hubbub though, she hatched a plan with Cosima to trick PT and Rachel, and of course figured out a few things: PT Westmoreland is dying, which is why he’s being so insufferable, and Rachel plans to harvest Kira’s eggs and impregnate 1,300 women with them. Of course, Cosima’s short-term reward for all of this was to witness a murder firsthand at close range and be locked in Yannis’s cage herself. Perhaps after all these seasons that others have focused on their genetics, the writers are taking the time to remind us what kind of stuff these women are really made, as they gear up for the final showdown, the fight of their lives. The Allison-centric episode Beneath Her Heart took the time to remind us of a similar message for that character. But she’s also a defiant, independent woman with immense strength of character, traits that we usually associate with Sarah. It’s easy to remember Cosima a the sick one, the scientist, the (inexplicably) hot one, or one half of the show’s strongest ship. Was he really hurt that bad, and in so much pain? Even so, he’s a person not a horse – physician assisted suicide is hardly a straightforward issue even in the best of circumstances, never mind with a pistol in a mad scientist/charlatan’s basement of horrors. This was the only part of that story tonight that felt weak for me – they never established that Yannis dying would be the ethical thing, only the convenient thing for everyone else in Revival. Finally, she rejected PT’s premise that the ethical thing to do would be to shoot Yannis.
