I've been thinking about Beth Childs lately. Everything in Orphan Black happened because Beth jumped to her death in front of Sarah. Beth made sure Sarah saw her death.
She left no suicide note, no indication that she would be killing herself.
But she jumped and she made sure Sarah saw her.
I wonder how long Beth knew about Sarah and why, Sarah, out of all the clones. Beth and Sarah seem to be complete opposites, Beth was a cop, Sarah was a small time hustler but Sarah stepped into Beth's shoes and learned more about Beth.
What did Beth learn about Sarah? Did she choose Sarah? Did she want Sarah to stir shit up?
I wonder how'd they get along if Beth was still alive. There would be friction, more than what Alison had with Sarah. But maybe, in the end, a more fundamental understanding of each other?
Maybe if Beth were still alive, she'd be less lonely because there was one person who wouldn't view her as an authority figure, one person who she didn't need to be strong for because Sarah is already strong for herself.
Maybe, just like he did with the other clones, Felix would welcome Beth in a grudging way. Mrs. S too, would welcome Beth. I'm just thinking about it now and how sad it is that Beth never got the chance to know Sarah's family and be welcomed into it.
