Warning: General spoilers ahead

Is everyone still reeling from last week’s fantastic season premiere? Yeah, I know I am too. What a great — but unexpected — way to start off the new season! Putting the Castor clone arc officially behind us, it gave the show a seeming fresh start but at the same time, put so much from the beginning of the series into perspective.

From what I have read, most of the Clone Club out there is in agreement with me with the only real complaint being that we didn’t get to see any of our other beloved characters except in momentary passing that lasted for only a few seconds at best. Well, no worries, everyone, because this week’s installment makes up for that and manages to be equally as exciting (and shocking!). Of course, I don’t want to spoil anything, but here are a few things you can expect from tonight’s top-notch “A” episode:

• All key characters are back with the exception of 1, and another character isn’t too pleased about his/her absence. This list does does include Beth Childs, and so, yes, everyone, we get even more flashbacks leading all the way up to the very moment when she decides to commit suicide.
• My favorite geek, Scott, is also back, and both he and Cosima have gone underground (literally!) and set up a very stealth new lab area. I laughed out loud when it is revealed where their new workspace is — and I’m sure you will too.
• As you can see from the below promotional photos, Helena is coming along fine with her pregnancy, and to my surprise, Donnie has stepped and offered to impersonate Helena’s husband so that she doesn’t have to go to doctor’s appointments alone (how sweet!). I love, love, love watching Donnie and Allison together, but man, a part of me wants to ship Donnie and Helena too! Oh, by the end of the hour, Helena gets some unexpected news about her baby — news that makes Allison even more jealous of Helena than she has been.
• We get some more information on those creepy Neolution worm implants, and it turns out they are A LOT more difficult to remove than we originally had thought.
• The episode ends with a major jaw-dropper, with Sarah getting some very shocking, very disturbing news. Be prepared to be wigging out by the end of the hour!

Episode 4.02 of Orphan Black is titled “Transgressive Border Crossing” and airs tonight at 10/9c on BBC America.
