It’s all hands on deck on Orphan Black: Echoes Season 1 Episode 4, “It’s All Coming Back.” This week, Lucy (Krysten Ritter) and Jules (Amanda Fix) go on a drug-enhanced deep dive into their shared dream. Will their mutual memory provide enough details to further their investigation? Or will tripping out together on Jules’s homebrew backfire?

Except for when Lucy woke up, Kira (Keeley Hawes) has largely operated in a separate realm, wanting to reach out but trapped by the deliberate ignorance bubble Darros (James Hiroyuki Liao) has told Tom (Reed Diamond) to maintain. She’s already begun to realize she’s being kept in the dark. Now that Emily (Tattiawna Jones) is feeding her intel, she’s probably going to become a more active element.
Orphan Black: Echoes’s “It’s All Coming Back”
The episode’s title suggests that the consequences of past decisions and actions are imminent. Are Lucy and Jules ready to contend with the truth of their origins? Is Kira prepared to answer for her part in it?

Meanwhile, Tom and Emily team up with a third surveillance/security agent to mixed results. Emily’s pushback against Tom’s narrow perspective on how to apprehend Lucy isn’t appreciated and (literally) lands her in the back seat.
From her conversation with Josh (Izad Etemadi), Kira believes Lucy is the only print-out in play and thus doesn’t know about Jules’s existence. So, who created Jules and why? What will Kira do when she learns there are other print-outs?
The Parent Trap
Jules’s foster parents clearly know that her circumstances are unusual. Until the “take-these-pills-while-I-watch” moment at dinner, Neva (Alex Castillo) has been the good cop in the pair. Since she probably knows more than James (Adam Kenneth Wilson) — her company being directly connected to Darros Industries — it’ll be interesting to see how she reacts to Jules hanging out with Lucy.

What else will come to light as Lucy and Jules explore their memory? The knife and blood dominate the dream bathroom imagery. Will the focus drug fill in more or just lead to new questions?
And how will their drug-fuelled buddy odyssey affect their new-found connection? Neither of them trusts other people easily. What sort of relationship do they have as differently aged print-outs of a common original person? Parent-child? Sibling? Alt personalities?
New episodes of Orphan Black: Echoes air Sundays at 9 pm ET/PT on AMC, AMC+ and BBC America.
