Brilliant grad student meets gorgeous French scientist. You have killer grades. Enchantée. Bonjour, Cosima. I'm so glad you could come. Love me, love me, say that you love me; fool me, fool me, go on and fool me. Did you just say a jogging? I'm gonna get you so baked one day. It's really nice to make a friend in this brave new world. I'm kind of always late, so, kind of always sorry. Yes, I am the cold turkey asshle. Don't you think it's time we admit what this is really about? You know, it's really nice to have some who gets it -- who gets me. Yeah, ditto, obvs. I can't stop thinking about that kiss. Like, in a not bad way? I have never thought about bisexuality. I mean, for myself, you know? But, as a scientist, I know that sexuality, is a spectrum. But you know, social biases they codify attraction. It's contrary to the biological facts. That's oddly romantic. Totally encouraging. You're going to be a craven addict. I think I already am. Promise me Cosima's safe. I was wondering if I could come over later? Bonsoir ma chérie. I'm so stupid. No, no you're not -- you knew this all along. I knew it was bullsht, but I still thought you were on my side. I wanted to trust you. You can trust me. Listen to me, I had to do it! He says you're in danger. Delphine, you can use me, that's fine, but don't go near that little girl. I didn't, and I won't! Listen to me, please, just listen: I didn't want to fall for you. I wasn't supposed to. But I have. How can I possibly believe that, Delphine? Because you feel it. This is not a lie -- it's not possible. Si l’on me perd, sache que je serai la tienne; if they lose me, know that I'll be yours. Why I are you here? Because I ... I'm on your side now. Please believe me. You have to trust someone. I know your code number. You do? Yes, I saw it many times. It's 324B21. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sick, Delphine.


Star-crossed lovers. You still work for Leekie. On your behalf, to protect you. Our relationship can be whatever we want. Congratulations, I'm invested, which I'm sure is what you wanted. Look, I'm not gonna apologize for my heart, okay? I just want to make crazy science with you in our new lab. Are you making me, like, a shopping list? I am. Moot? You're so cute. Mmmmm, Dr. Cormier. Sometimes I forget that you're mine. It's not fake, not for any of us. I'll try anything. So will I. Dude, are you sure this is a good idea? If Leekie is withholding a treatment from you, yes. He's gonna ruin your career. Destroy your reputation as a budding lesbian. Mon amour. Pauvre petit choit. You're the puppy. Can you feel that? A little. And that? Yeah. This is the start of getting you well, Cosima. Out. You don't understand. It's my lab, I'm the science, get out! I locked you out. Seriously? I just really don't want you here. I'm trying to help. Tell me what you want. I'm gonna keep the promise that I made to you when we first met ... that one day I'd get you completely baked. I have something important I want to tell you: je t'aime. Cosima, it's your life. It's not just that. It's all of us; you have to love all of us. Then I love all of you. And I love you too. Please, just let me say goodbye to Cosima. I love her. And if you let her die without me, it is personal. From: Eskimo Pie, Subject: Urgent; It's up to you now. Don't be afraid. I will never leave you. Did the puppy follow the explorer the whole way? Mmhmm. Cool, huh?

“Cosima is quite taken by Delphine ... This is her life, this is her heart, this is a person who could be quite
important to her. We really start to understand Cosima better through her relationship with Delphine.”
TATIANA MASLANY

“She made some really clear symbolic moves. I mean, at the end of S1 she travels and goes on Cosima's side
... that's a true act of love and it's a true act of solidarity.”
EVELYNE BROCHU

“I think Cosima is kind of surprised by her feelings for Delphine. It's the kind of attraction, and need, that blinds
her ... Her attraction and feelings are undeniable to her, even though it might be dangerous.”
TATIANA MASLANY

“Delphine is a passionate girl when it comes to science and Cosima.”
EVELYNE BROCHU

“There is definitely a really intense passion and love between those two characters ... It's so many things at once.
It's lovers, it's co-workers, eventually there is going to be a patient/doctor relationship. Experiment/scientist. It's
so much, you know. It makes it so rich.”
EVELYNE BROCHU

“Their relationship is really something I connect to quite deeply because of the sort of the imperfection of it and
the betrayal in it and -- it just feels very real to have fallen for somebody who you knew kind of the whole time
would be the wrong person to fall for. I feel like that’s quite a human thing and it was written quite beautifully.”
TATIANA MASLANY

“And Delphine too makes a choice to follow her heart for an individual, even though she's always been 'straight.'
Awwwww ... isn't that sweet, shippers?”
GRAEME MANSON

“Cosima's so focused on her work that it can get quite insular and she can get quite lonely and have a one-track
mind. When she meets Delphine, her world blows up and she doesn't know how to even deal with the emotions
she's feeling and how much she wants Delphine.”
TATIANA MASLANY

“These two together, they're gold.”
GRAEME MANSON

“They're on opposite ends of the equation, sort of like Romeo and Juliet. There remains tension between them,
but ultimately they love each other.”
TATIANA MASLANY

“There's definitely a really intense passion and love between those two characters. It's love, you know? As complex
and great and wonderful and crazy as it is.”
EVELYNE BROCHU

top five moments
— s e a s o n . o n e —

#5 | "Unconscious Selection" (109)

Delphine: Bonsoir, ma chérie. I have the truffles that I promised you. You okay?
Cosima: Are you?
Delphine: Well, I was, but ...
Cosima: "Delphine Cormier". Not "Beraud". You've already got your doctorate in immunology, don't you?
Delphine: I am ... so sorry.
Cosima: I'm so stupid.
Delphine: No! No, you're not. You knew this all along.
Cosima: Yeah, that transcript you accidentally left behind, your fake boyfriend in Paris. Pretending you
didn't know who Dr. Leekie was. I knew it was bullsht, but I still thought you were on my side. I wanted to trust you.

#4 | "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (110)

Cosima: Why are you here?
Delphine: Because I ... Because Leekie is a liar. And I think you can prove it scientifically -- with
that, your synthetic sequence.
Cosima: He gave me my whole genome.
Delphine: Yes, but, you can't find that sequence anymore, can you? He would have scrubbed it.
[Cosima angrily knocks all her papers off her desk]
Delphine: [reaching for her] Hey ...
Cosima: Don't.
Delphine: I'm on your side now. Please believe me. You need to trust someone.

Cosima: Yeah.
Delphine: I have to go.
Cosima: Oh, okay, yeah.

#2 | "Unconscious Selection" (109)

Delphine: Just let me tell you this one thing. I didn't want to fall for you.
I wasn't supposed to. But I have.
Cosima: How can I possibly believe that, Delphine?
Delphine: Because you feel it! This is -- it's not a lie. It's not possible.

#1 | "Unconscious Selection" (109)

Delphine: I have to run to class, but I was wondering if I could ... come over later?
Cosima: Yeah, of course.

Back at her school, Cosima has just met a brilliant French student named Delphine, who is dealing with a bad
breakup. There’s an instant connection between the two women.

Over in Cosima’s neck of the woods, Delphine is proving to be too charming to stay away from.

Based on the look on Cosima’s face when her new French friend kisses her on either cheek, I think she might
be equal parts suspicious of her intentions and falling for that accent.

Cosima was hesitant at first, but that face and that accent — even smart girls get dumb around girls like Delphine.

While we weren't sure how we were going to feel about yet another monitor turning their back on their job because of
feelings for their clone, it was how Evelyne Brochu played the scenes as Delphine struggled with her feelings for Cosima
and her job as monitor ... and she showed up at the loft in the finale to warn Cosima about Dr. Leekie that won us over.

Delphine's relationship with Cosima started off ... tainted by the lies. However, that also changed with the final two
episodes, and by the time Cosima was admitting she was sick and Delphine was holding her, we were on board.
