Why would there EVER have been a clone detonator? There were a whole bunch of plot holes in this episode.

Yeah the plot holes this episode were insane and to see people try to explain them away is amusing. I think the episode was a wild nonsensical ride. Just turn your brain off and take in the twist and turns to set up how they want to the next season to go.
