So why kill of this key character now?

Whenever we do something like this, its never an easy decision to make, saysOrphan Blackco-creator John Fawcett.

Where we thought we had a sure fire answer, now suddenly we dont.

In fact, weve got nothing.

In fact, weve gotlessthan what we began with.

Not only is Kendall dead and her biology incinerated, but weve lost all of our research as well.

So Sarah must accept her portion of the blame for losing both her grandmother and her vital biology.

And according to co-creator Graeme Manson, she is not the only one to blame.

Cosima as well, says Manson.

They can both take some heat for that.

We know that Sarah is rash and makes mistakes.

And so does Cosima in this instance.

Theyre the ones that decide to go ahead with this.

Theyre the ones that decide not to tell Siobhan.

But again, why kill off Kendall now?

And we knew we wanted to do something really big in the middle.

Evie told Cosima that Dephine was indeed dead.

But can we believe her?

I dont know, says Manson.

Would you trust Evie Cho, your new villain?

Its a very atypical episode ofOrphan Black.

Its something were really excited to show.

It focuses a lot more on characters than plot.
