LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The inaugural episode of the most recent science fiction series, 'Orphan Black: Echoes', has established the foundation for forthcoming drama and intrigue as Lucy (Krysten Ritter) endeavors to solve the mystery of her origins.

Anna Fishko's drama show follows Lucy, who flees a medical facility lab after realizing she is a clone with no recollection of her past.

After two years in hiding, Lucy is attacked by the Additive Foundations' henchmen, causing her to take matters into her own hands.

The first episode ended on a thrilling note, with Lucy meeting a teenage girl named Jules Lee (Amanda Fix), who bears an uncanny resemblance to her younger self, but when Lucy is unable to obtain any information from her, she abducts the young girl, setting the stage for a high-octane drama in the second episode.

So here's what to expect from the explosive episode 2 of 'Orphan Black: Echoes', titled 'Jules'.

Lucy and Jules Lee's mysterious connection will be explored in 'Orphan Black: Echoes' Episode 2

Given how much Jules resembles Lucy, the upcoming episode will provide a closer examination of their relationship.

As Lucy mulls over the implications of their uncanny similarity and the shared suture mark on their wrists, the episode will most likely go into the relevance of this connection in uncovering Lucy's past.

The episode will have Lucy delve more into the mystery surrounding Jules and her own background, where viewers can expect a more in-depth analysis of the circumstances that led to their similarities.

In the first episode, it was revealed that Tom (Reed Diamond), the Head of Corporate Security, thought Lucy had shot his bounty hunter, making her faulty, dangerous, and a liability. He intends to kill her, but Dr Kira stops him.

Kira is shown providing justifications on what could have prompted Lucy to kill the henchmen, saying she did it to protect herself

Kira's intervention to prevent Tom from killing Lucy hints that there may be more to her motivations than meets the eye, which could be explored more in the show's second episode.
