SPOILER alert: This post contains spoilers from the series premiere of “Orphan Black: Echoes,” now streaming on AMC+.
The series premiere of AMC and BBC America’s “Orphan Black: Echoes” offers only a few concrete things about Lucy, the enigmatic character played by Krysten Ritter.
First and foremost, she’s innately resourceful, which comes in handy when she wakes up with no memory of who she is, with a kind but mysterious woman (Keeley Hawes) interrogating her about anything she might know. After a violent reaction, she MacGyvers her way out of the containment facility where she’s being held and right past a few clues that suggest her origins may lie in a slimy vat of goo. But before Lucy can investigate, she goes like a thief in the night, popping up two years later as a field-hand living the quiet life in the country.
