THIS ISSUE: Orphan Black, Aquarius, Bones, Orange Is the New Black TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT The Return of Bad Rachel BBC America BECAUSE: Just when you think Rachel is ready to be a good sestra, she breaks bad again. And in Orphan's Black's season 4 finale, she did it in a big way -- by stabbing her own mother, Susan Duncan, and then topping it off with a swift second stab to Sarah's leg. And that's not all.

Orphan Black BBC America WHAT HAPPENED: Let's start with the good news: Cosima and Delphine were reunited once more in Orphan Black's season 4 finale. Sure it's on a creepy island that Charlotte takes her to after it's discovered that Susan was only interested in creating a viable cell line in order to restart her human cloning initiative, but still -- reunited! Cosima does, in fact, make away with some samples from Susan's lab, though, meaning that she can potentially cure her terminal clone illness, but Delphine tells her they're not safe. And it seems that no one really is. When Sarah goes to save Cosima (telling Siobhan, "If I don't fix this, it's my curse to watch my sisters die), she happens upon Rachel and stabbed Susan, so Rachel gives her a kitchen knife to the leg too. Back at the not-so-safe safe house, Ferdinand has taken Kira and Mrs. S hostage. And apparently it's all because Rachel has decided she wants all the Neolution power for herself. She plans to combine human cloning -- oh right, she has the other half of the viable cell line -- with the implanted gene therapy (cheek bugs, anyone?), and the Neolution board seems down. There's just one man left to decide. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: P.T. Westmoreland is the man who wrote the book on Neolution. Well over a century later, he just showed up at Sarah's door because he is very much still alive. So, uh, what's the deal with that? When EW asked Orphan Black co-creator Graeme Manson that very question, he kept it vague: "Apparently, the man never died. It's been a long crawl and climb for Sarah and all the clones, Rachel included, to get to the top of the pyramid. And now Rachel is looking at the eye -- or through the eye, perhaps. Obviously this is going to be a large part of our mystery for next year. The man wrote the book in what, 1870 or 1880? How is he still alive?" And that's a question we'll get an answer to in season 5, which will be Orphan Black's final season . Co-creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson described it as "an epic conclusion to the tale of Sarah and her clone sisters." We're counting on it.

Aquarius NBC WHAT HAPPENED: Two hours of commercial-free David Duchovny on a Thursday night? We'll take it. Aquarius is back for a second season, and Thursday's extended premiere opened with one of the most infamous aspects of Charles Manson's story: his creepy cult members in the middle of killing actress Sharon Tate (and more) in 1969 Los Angeles. But wait! We're not really there yet. The show jumps back 18 months before the murders to lay out for us just how fictional detective Sam Hodiak followed the trail of crime and murder to Manson. And at least one of the most fascinating aspects of Manson's journey from wily aspiring musician to homicidal cult leader takes root in Aquarius' season 2 premiere (actually three episodes aired one after the other): he meets Dennis Wilson, drummer for the The Beach Boys, and the man he assumes will be his ticket to stardom. Spoiler alert: Manson's ticket to notoriety has a very different final destination. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Two hours is a lot of time for television, butAquarius' three-episode premiere loaded in the character development rather than packing in too much plot. This makes for a strong base on which to start its second season. About Duchovny's Detective Hodiak, Yahoo TV observed, "One of the best aspects of Aquarius is that its protagonist is a good-man-gone-wrong in ways he hasn't even fully realized: He's starting to become a lawman for whom breaking the law is standard operating procedure." And as for the series real-life antagonist, character development that's based in both fact and assumption is a little more trick, but just as well executed, says Yahoo: "Aquarius and show creator [John] McNamara take a daring leap and presume that Manson saw Wilson as a judgmental father-figure, and that that notion complicated their relationship. It's just one example of the psychologically complex show McNamara continues to build with Aquarius."

Bones Fox WHAT HAPPENED: Finally, Booth is the subject matter expert on a case! It's been more than seven seasons since Booth and Brennan had to hit the ice for a case, but when a body is found dead in the Anacostia River, Booth immediately recognizes a hockey injury, identifying the victim as famous hockey player Seth Lang. While Booth and Brennan investigate the team, Hodgins and intern-of-the-week Oliver use drones to locate the Lang's missing head, and then they fly it back to the Jeffersonian . Poor transportation judgment or not, the head is necessary. It shows that Lang was hit on the head by the hockey stick of another player who is expecting a baby with a corporate drug dealer supplying hockey players with illicit substances. Lang wanted to clean up the sport, and his fellow player didn't want his baby's mother to end up behind bars. Hence death by hockey stick. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: It's fun to see the team hit the ice again, especially coupled with the fact that Booth and Brennan spend the episode attempting to declutter their house for their family's future, but are both trying desperately not to lose track of the past -- Booth with hockey, and Brennan with her books. TVLine can't help but point out that, much like his character, this was surely David Boreanaz's favorite episode of Bones: "OK, I have no official confirmation of that fact, but considering the actor's love of hockey, I feel pretty confident in my assumption that Booth and Brennan's investigation into the death of a player was a highlight for the leading man. I mean, did you see his gleeful face when Booth simply had to put on skates to talk to a person of interest on the ice and then scored a goal?" Indeed, we did -- happy Booth, happy show.
