Episode 9 of Orphan Black: Echoes opens with a haunting scene in 2009. Eleanor stumbles upon her father, gasping for air in the bathroom, his life ebbing away. She frantically dials 911, but something compels her to hang up.
In the present, Craig is struck by a bullet, leaving him wounded in the leg. Lucy and Jules rush to his side, while Xander, seizing the moment, steals the vital drug and the key. Jules pursues him, horrified to see him gulp down the entire dose. He appears delirious, forcing Jules to take him to Kira's.
Craig, despite his injury, refuses medical aid, prompting Lucy to summon Jack. Craig confesses that he once participated in protests, enraged by the world's injustices. But he crossed a line, hurting someone, and now a warrant for his arrest hangs over his head.
Jack is torn, angry that Lucy missed the biometrics appointment. Charlie劝说Jack to help Lucy, reminding him that she's not like Clara and wouldn't abandon Charlie. Jack concedes, realizing Lucy's deep bond with Charlie.
A delightful surprise arrives when Delphine shows up to lend a hand to Kira. As Jules learns more about Kira's family, we discover that Sara and her clones are renowned figures in their 60s, while Cosima regrets her once-iconic dreadlocks. Delphine assures Eleanor, despite her unconventional origins, that her passions are what truly matter.
Darros realizes that tracing the money's flow might lead them to the door the key unlocks. They deduce that Neva could be a key player, as her company is Darros Foundation's financial arm. By staging an emergency, they trick the security guard and gain access to Neva's office after hours. Browsing through Darros' financial records, they discover a staggering 44 billion investment in a coastal property.
Delphine returns home, while Kira heads to the coastal estate. She stumbles upon a shed, leading to an underwater vault. The key slots into the lock, but a specific memory is the final piece. With only 30 minutes to decode the puzzle, Kira panics and calls Eleanor for help.
Meanwhile, Tom remains steadfast in his pursuit of Lucy, delving deeper into Jack's mysterious past. He even barters concert tickets for Tina's address, desperate for any clue. At Kira's abode, Jules offers Eleanor solace amidst the turmoil of Lucas's absence, reassuring her that she is indeed a loving mother. After meeting Eleanor and Lucy, Jules finds a sense of belonging, a place in this vast world. Suddenly, a call from Kira interrupts their conversation, revealing the need for Darros' forgotten memories. Jules urges Xander to take action, but he's still reeling from the ghastly visions of Darros' past. Reluctant to emulate Darros' ways, he's coaxed by Jules to lend his aid.
Back at Craig's, Jack's hands are tied, as he struggles to stem the flow of blood. Amidst the chaos, Lucy confesses her motivation for saving Craig—she realizes that Eleanor withheld the truth about their father. She fears that she could have helped him but failed to do so, a mistake she vows not to repeat. Her revelation touches Craig deeply, who is also proud of her for finding people who truly care for her.
Meanwhile, Eleanor and Jules escort a reluctant Xander to the shed. The final key lies in focusing on the intricate symbol etched on the lock, a shape identical to the necklace worn by Darros' sister. This triggers a memory within Xander—a memory of Josh and Darros creating his first copy, but with a fatal glitch, rendering Xander 1.0 only partially conscious. Darros places the necklace on the lifeless copy, advising Josh to discard it and move on to creating a more perfect replica.
The storage unit unlocks, revealing a trove of medical records—the medical records of every citizen in the country. This explains how Darros was able to replicate a sixteen-year-old Jules with such precision. The final logs indicate that Darros has created twelve such beings.
The scene shifts to Tom, breaking into Tina's home with determination. She puts up a valiant fight, but he subdues her with a mysterious injection. Frustrated by his failure to find Lucy, he abducts Charlie, leaving a dark cloud hanging over the conclusion of Orphan Black: Echoes Episode 9.
