Ferdinand and Rachel were planning another "Helsinki". 45:20 Killing the self aware clones and "collateral".

I just typed out a whole thing and accidentally deleted it, so I'll just explain the Kendall DNA situation real quick and try to come back later lol 🤦🏾‍♀️... So, Kendall has two different DNAs. So, while Kendall was in prison (for offing young Siobhan's husband because she didn't approve 😬), Ethan Duncan conducted several tests on several different prisoners, male & female, as test subjects under the guise of "cancer research". After doing several tests on Kendall, he discovered theat she actually had two sets of DNA. While in the womb, Kendall's twin brother deceased, and she absorbed her brother's DNA cells, leaving her with both hers and her brother's DNA in her body, making her what is referred to as a chimera (specifically twin chimerism). Being a special case, Ethan used Kendall's DNAs to produce the two lines of clones: Castor & Leda. Chimerism is a very interesting and real thing. In fact, most chimeras don't even know that they even have said condition. There are various ways someone can obtain it. There's artificial chimerism, where someone recieves a blood transfusion, organ transplant, stem cells, bone marrow, or things to that extent. There was a case where a leukemia patient that recieved a bone marrow transplant and discovered, after getting his lips and cheeks swabbed, he had two sets of DNA in both area. Another incident involed a fatal car crash that had one man in the vehicle, but two diferent DNAs (male & female), and the investigation went on for weeks until it was concluded that the victim had chimerism from a bone marrow transplant from his daughter. Then there's the twins chimerism. There's also tetramgramatic chimerism, where two different sperms fertilizes two different eggs, and the embryos fuse into one (four sex cells). There's also microchimerism, which is smaller scale than the rest, is when a pregnant mother absorbs DNA tells from her fetus and/or vice versa... Chimerism can actually play a very troubling part in criminal investigations and crime scenes. It can mess with forsensic, leaving investigators to believing that there's some cross contaminations of or sort and other things. Or some cases that just doesn't add up (ie the fatal car crash with one victim but two DNAs on the scene). In one incident, a woman and her children had done DNA testing to see if they were viable to provide her with a kidney donation. Upon doing so, they discovered two out of three children were not biologically hers, depsite the fact that she birthed them and they matched the father's DNA. They realized that she had chimerism. It turned out she was genetically her two children's aunt... This discovery came in clutch because the same year this information came out, a oregnant woman who was seeking finacial public assistance, had submitted her and her children DNA to prove that her children were hers. Well, it came back they weren't her biological children and she was charged with attempted frauding of the goverment. Her children were taken from her and placed in two different foster homes. They even threatened to have her take a loe detector test, which she had no problem with undergoing one because she knew they were her children. No one wanted to take her case because how to you fight against DNA evidence, right? Before this, the US court considered DNA to be considered infallable and couldn't be contestsd in court. The woman was able to get the court to postpone until after she gave birth and get her babybtested with a court officer present. Ince again, the DNA didn't match despite all of the witnesses. Well, one lawyer found the case interesting, decided to represent her, and discovered the above case about the women with two DNAs and not being the genetic mother of two out of three of her children that had just been released. So, after several DNA testing, such as skin, hair, and blood, the woman that was charged DNA still came back as not related to her children children. It wasn't until they swabbed her cervix, FINALLY discovering the second DNA line, and the DNA matched her children. The woman's mother's submitted her DNA confirming her to be the genetic grandmother of the children, and the case was dismissed. If it wasn't for the DNA testing of the newborn resulting in the same as the other two children, the woman and the children's father could have lost their children forever... Another situation situation where chimerism "tampered" in a criminal case was in a sexual assault investigation. Forensics discovered two sifferent sperm DNAs. One of the DNAs got a hit. The problem was the person that got the hit had an airtight alibi: They were already in prison when the crime took place, making it impossible for the criminal to be one of the perpetrators. It's a mind boggling situation dealing with the idea of criminals with chimerism. It can either lead to an innocent person paying for a crime they didn't commit, or a criminal who gets away with a crime because the DNA doesn't match the forensics 😬. Chimerism is named after the Greek mythical creature called Chimera, a fire breathing monster that's a fusion of different animals. It's depicted as a lion's head and "body", with a goat's head sticking out of the middle of the body, and a serpent/dragon's tail with it's face at the end of it (and sometimes dragon wings on it's back). It's probably most famously decpicted in the famous, epic Greek poem regarding known as the "Iliyad" (The Trojan War). Homer described the Chimera as, "she was of divine stock not of men, in the fore part a lion, in the hinder a serpent, and in the midst a goat, breathing forth in terrible wise the might of blazing fire." It was slain by Bellolerphoron, who was set up by to by killd by the Chimera by the king, while riding in on Pegasus. Remember, both Castor & Leda are also both figures in Greek mythology as well, so it's an interesting tie in back into the use of Greek mythology, but in a scientific manner... Want to realize something else that's mind boggling? Since Sarah and the Ledas are clones of Kendall Malone, Sarah is technically the genetic mother of Siobhan Sadler, also making Mrs. S the genetic half-sister of Kira 😳...
