9. The Mitigation of Competition

Complete story — includes the ending

Cosima and Susan collaborate on the Island. In the city, Sarah and Rachel begrudgingly team up to bring down Evie; Rachel suggests that they find two carriers, Tabitha and Kendra, who fled BrightBorn with video evidence of deformed newborns being euthanized. Tabitha is found dead in a pregnancy shelter, supposedly having committed suicide. Sarah sees Trina leave the shelter. Still believing Sarah to be Beth, Trina tells her that Tabitha's death was not a suicide. Trina asks Sarah to find Kendra in Tisdale, and an investigator overhears and tells Evie. Helena, who has been living in the woods, takes a phone call from Sarah. Donnie is released from prison and Adele begins to become suspicious about the family, furthered when Helena returns from hibernation and arrives at Felix's apartment. After a standoff, Adele agrees not to ask questions and leaves on bad terms with Felix. Sarah and Art track down Kendra and eventually convince her to go with them, just as Neolution arrives. Art holds them off while Kendra receives a call from Rachel threatening to give one of Kendra's children (currently staying with relatives) to Neolution if she does not go with Ira, who shows up to drive Kendra to the city. Evie Cho is preparing for a press conference regarding the government approval of her bot technology, which uses germline editing to alter DNA. Sarah confronts Ira who reveals that Rachel is with Evie. Rachel, claiming to want to make a deal with Evie and become head of Neolution in exchange for the video evidence, records Evie admitting that Brightborn euthanizes deformed newborns. During the press conference the new recording is pushed to every reporter's phone, causing them to mob Evie as Rachel looks on. Neolution paramedic Frank captures Alison and Donnie for information on Duko's disappearance. Frank ties them up and attempts to insert a fatal bot in Alison's cheek but Helena bursts in and kills Frank. Rachel's hallucinations intensify and she sees a tribe-like village, a young brunette girl, the killing of a swan, and a bearded man staring at her. Delphine is shown to be alive.
