It could apply, in the sense that Sarah is most loyal to her daughter, her blood relation, rather than…basically everyone else, even Felix. However, I’m pretty sure (I could be TOTALLY wrong) that the actual saying/quote is “the blood of the covenant (as in promise and/or organization) is thicker than the water of the womb” or some variation that basically means that relationships you choose to make are stronger than blood ties. (Nothing’s coming up when I search that saying, though. Any ideas, Lit Queen alisonisthegreateststar?) 

Anyway, if we go by the second saying, it applies to Sarah even more. She’s closest to the Clone Club (“I’m a few, no family too, who am I?) , Felix (initials scratched into wood, remember?) and Kira, who she /chooses/ to keep returning to. She’s very far from her blood tie, Helena, who started out with the same blood in her veins. Amelia gave them both the same blood compotents while they were developing. 

"Ninth Philosopher Song" by Aldous Huxley (yes, as in Brave New World Huxley) contains the line 'Blood, as all men know, than water's thicker / But water's wider, thank the Lord, than blood.'

Isn’t that interesting.

I’m going to put forward a connection to Rachel here actually, as we can’t forget about 1x08 where Rachel’s very first line of the entire series is “Blood is thicker than you think, Aldous.”

Is this a blatant reference to “blood is thicker than water” and even more importantly, is this a blatant reference to the Huxley quote?

GUESS WHAT IT’S CALLED.

LEDA.

EFF.

MAN OH MAN.
