In "Orphan Black" Season 5 Episode 9, the Clone Club learns that Neolution has kidnapped the now pregnant Helena. Can Sarah and the others find her before she gives birth? Read on for more details.
Sarah loses Mrs. S
"Orphan Black" just lost a star from its very own "galaxy of women." In Episode 8 "Guillotines Decide," Mrs. S (Maria Doyle Kennedy) made a huge sacrifice for her children and all the remaining LEDA clones. She may have sacrificed herself for the greater good but she also took Ferdinand (James Frain) to the grave.
Before her unfortunate demise, Mrs.
S has been working with Delphine (Evelyn Brochu) in their quest to take down the entire Neolution group. They even got the chance to ask Rachel (Tatiana Maslany) to participate as well.

The three of them uncovered the documents that may put Neolution and the government in shambles. According to their research, the executives are planning to market their cloning projects for the rich while the unfortunate lower sectors will be sterilized.
It was a success after Cosima herself initiated the public release. However, Ferdinand wasn't happy with Rachel's decision of double-crossing him. He went to find Mrs.
S in her home where they had a deadly standoff resulting in his death.
Will Mrs. S survive?
In the last scene, Mrs. S talked about the possibility of surviving her life-threatening injury but this might not happen at all. The episode ended with Mrs. S looking at a picture of her children whom she fondly calls as "chickens."
The promotional photos tease a graveyard scene.
It's also evident that Sarah is seen wearing a dark jacket similar to what her foster mom owns.

Kira, on the other hand, just came back from hiding alongside Charlotte (Cynthia Galant).
Both Sarah and Kira looked crestfallen as they mourn for Mrs. S.
Helena gets kidnapped
The death of Mrs. S will indeed affect everyone especially her immediate loved ones such as Sarah, Felix (Jordan Gavaris) and Kira (Skyler Wexler). Besides from Delphine, no one knew about her last secret mission since the other characters are busy attending the art gallery opening.
The "Orphan Black" spoilers hint that Sarah will have another problem to solve. The previous episode also showed Gracie (Zoe Grand de Mason) decided on saving Helena rather than helping the Neolution. It didn't end well for her and the pregnant killer clone also saw her die in front of her.

Titled as "One Fettered Slave," the second to the last episode will put the focus on Helena's pregnancy.
Comic Book Movie reported that Helena is now nearing her due date and Sarah must race against time to save her. Fortunately for her, a visit from a mysterious nun might give her a lead.
The teaser then showed Kira having a "feeling" that Helena is in trouble. She wore a hospital gown while laying down on a hospital bed. Helena has been strained by the wrists but it seems like she has found a way to get some scissors.
In the said clip, she appeared to be intent on getting injured with the metal tool. Is she going to kill herself for the sake of her babies? Can Sarah make it on time or not? Will the Clone Club see Helena again?
"Orphan Black" Season 5 Episode 9 "One Fettered Slave" airs on Saturday, August 6, 2017, on BBC America.
