GRAEME MANSON:Maybe at the beginning, but now Ive totally embraced it.

The comic book shop is an awesome thing.

You get those guys together.

John, what board game should they be playing?

What references can we make?

And do you dress the board game, John?

MANSON:Hes super anal about the board game.

JOHN FAWCETT:I did, actually, in this episode.

And we figured out what part of the game it was going to be at.

Alright, lets move to some more serious matters.

We meet Ira, another Project Castor clone here, played by Ari Millen.

What is this guys deal and why is he not glitching like the other Castor clones?

FAWCETT:Hes not glitchingyet.

FAWCETT:Thats the deal with the Castors, is that they are not healthy.

And so hes kind of like Susans pet at this point.

Hes not sure what to make of his role in this.

Hes got a bit of a mysterious feel about what his function is here at this place.

He wasnt raised like his brothers, which is the most interesting thing about him.

MANSON:Hes a bit of weirdo though, isnt he?

He looks like hes been to Emily Post finishing school.

Hes very polite, his posture is perfect, the way he cuts his meat is perfect.

FAWCETT:Well, its kind of interesting when you put Susan Duncan and Rachel and Ira together.

Theyre the Carnegies ofOrphan Black.

MANSON:I like the idea that he was very still that his movements were very precise.

Hes not a dude, right?

He didnt grow up in the military.

Or maybe downright androgynous.

He rocks some really good slacks this year.

Complicated doesnt really cut it, does it?

Interestingly enough, Susan Duncan kept Ira closer.

She kept Castor closer.

So, theres a very fraught family dynamic developing there, I think.

And a bond between Rachel and Charlotte, it seems.

FAWCETT:I think weve demonstrated that Rachel has been strangely keen on motherhood.

And so we just like the idea that this is her weird opportunity.

You want to be a mother?

Here you go have at it!

MANSON:Rachel sort of wants everything she cant have.

Tell me about that fake corpse in that bag there.

MANSON:Poor Matt Frewer.

And we realized quite suddenly we were going to need a corpse.

How can you say no to that?

And then we made this awesome, awesome corpse.

Thats how I sold it to Matt.

I was like, I want it to look like you.

I want this dead, gross corpse to actually still look like you.

And so, he thought that was really fun.

Graeme, lets switch gears and talk aboutFelix and his biological sister.

He clearly is feeling like hes not part of his foster family and searching out his roots.

He even tells Sarah he doesnt want to be her sidekick anymore.

Where is this thing going?

Everybody else, the family of S Felix and Sarah, has been their little alternative family.

None of them are related.

This is a family by choice.

And a family by adoption.

Asking those questions that the show asks about family, about choosing your family, about what biology means.

Well see where that heads, moving forward.

You have James Frain back.

I know youre excited about that.

What do we know about what Ferdinands intentions are this season?

MANSON:Hes a multi-headed snake, that man, isnt he John?

FAWCETT:He is.

I just dont know whether to trust him at all and thats part of the fun.

Hes kind of a frenemy.

Alright, weve seen three episodes now.

So where the hell is Delphine?

MANSON:Its a disappearance.

So, Cosimas struggling with that disappearance.

Were going to keep struggling with that with this season.

Its part of the mystery, finding that answer.

And we promise tears and heartbreak along the way.

Do you promise answers at some point, in terms of not just, Wheres Delphine?

but Who shot Delphine?

MANSON:We promise answers.

FAWCETT:We promise nothing.

MANSON:We promise nothing.

Weve got episode 4 next week.

What can you tell us about it?

MANSON:Yeah, and we get to dig deeper into our bot mystery as well.

So, well find out more about the implants next week.
