'Orphan Black: Echoes' Episode 7: Dr Eleanor Miller’s identity crisis could be the end of one big operation
Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Orphan Black: Echoes'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The conflicts are escalating in AMC's newest sci-fi show, 'Orphan Black: Echoes,' which at first focuses on the quest of a woman named Lucy (Krysten Ritter), who sets out on a mission to discover the truth about her origins.
However, as the narrative unfolds, more secrets are revealed, including the fact that Dr Kira Manning (Keeley Hawes), Lucy's creator, printed her after losing her wife, Dr Eleanor Miller (Rya Kihlstedt), to Alzheimer's.
But there's more to the story, as it was disclosed that Lucy isn't the only clone of Eleanor; a younger version, Jules Lee (Amanda Fix), and an older one also exist.
The elder version remains with Kira, who is doing her best to keep her lover from falling into the trap of Alzheimer's by sneaking medications into her drinks, but as they say, the truth cannot be concealed for long, and the most recent episode depicts exactly that.
Why Elenor Miller was left startled in 'Orphan Black: Echoes' Episode 7?
After her meeting with Lucy Eleanor finally realizes that she is a printout and not the original Eleanor. She confronts Kira, accusing her of deception and questioning the morality of human cloning.
Eleanor is incensed that Kira, of all people, would manipulate life and death in this manner and pays no heed when Kira attempts to clarify her intentions.
Eleanor, who is feeling betrayed and struggling with her identity, refuses to listen to Kira and flees in rage and later divulges the truth to their son Lucas Manning (Jaeden Noel), who is also left heartbroken after learning the truth.
Will Elenor Miller help Kira Manning uncover Paul Darros's sketchy plan?
Eleanor's discovery of her real identity was long coming and as depicted in the episode she also handles this realization as Lucy and Jules did earlier.
Of course, she is devastated and furious, but it should be emphasized that she still loves Kira and was dissatisfied with her distant behavior in previous episodes. So, it is conceivable that the initial anger and feeling of betrayal may turn into a commitment to pursue justice and the truth.
Her emotional journey may lead her to join Kira in bringing down Paul Darros (James Hiroyuki Liao), which would be intriguing since we may finally witness three clones of the real Eleanor working together to defeat Darros' terrible agenda.
Now, it is likely that the present situation may bring the estranged couple of Kira and Eleanor together, providing some relief to Kira, who was always struggling to conceal the truth from Eleanor.
Overall, it will be interesting to watch how Eleanor adds to Darros's miseries in the next episode of the show.
