Trivia
After the quotes from Francis Bacon used to title the second season, the titles of the third season episodes are all phrases from the farewell Presidential Address of General Dwight Eisenhower, as he passed the baton of history to John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Goofs
Siobhan is Sarah's (and Felix's) foster mother, not her stepmother.

Quotes
Felix Dawkins: Cosima's temperature is down to normal, by the way. Actually she's got a bit of colour in her cheeks.
Sarah Manning: And Helena?
Felix Dawkins: Helena's an albino.

[7.6] The detectives taking a nap

A mishmash episode with the mistake of introducing (too many) new characters at the expense of the female clones. Now, it's like a corporation family washing their dirty cloths and lingerie in separate rooms for viewers to mind-numbingly watch.

The tone has changed, it's messier and broader, not in a good way and their blatant mistake is that the police is nowhere to be seen. Where are the detectives?!

Are we gonna watch a whole season with fooled cleaners and impersonating babes?
