The sixth episode of the second season of The Ark is entitled  “Pretty Big Deal” and features an intriguing view on the concept of identity through cloning. The episode is an important one, and it does what many episodes manage to achieve: give us growth for the characters while also paying service to the large-scale sci-fi concepts that form the world of the show.

THE ARK SEASON 2 EPISODE 6 RECAP

The episode begins with the protagonist, police Lieutenant Spencer Lane (played by Reece Ritchie), discovering that he is a clone. This revelation profoundly impacts him and causes doubt on the aspect of his lineage and his real family. It becomes worse for Spencer when he discovers that there are other clones like him, thus raising questions of his own identity. Having a ‘brother’ in the form of another clone does not help with his already complicated emotional status. In this episode the audience learns that Spencer’s father never told him about his clones and this makes a drastic change in his life and his mission.
At the same time, Lt. Sharon Garnet (Christie Burke) also has problems connected with clones. As a symbol of the storyline, her role intensifies, especially when the issue of clone is detailed in the picture. This episode leaves the audience to believe that Garnet saga is a long way from being over, especially in the show’s underlying implication that her clone may cause new conflicts in the dynamics of the spaceship.
Dr. Sanjivni Kabir (Shalini Peiris) and Dr. Marsh (Jadran Malkovich) are shown performing the operation to take out the brain bomb from Evelyn Maddox’s daughter Kelly Fowler (Samantha Glassner). The procedure, which should be a high stakes operation, is sadly low key and the actual removal is somewhat low key as well. The audience suddenly jumps straight to the after effects of the event as Kelly’s bomb – the brain – is deactivated but this scene is not tense enough and one can tell that there is potential for more excitement.
