Nadia did not appear in the series until well into the second season. There were hints of something being the reason why [[Lauren]] was connected to [[The Ash]], but throughout the first season they were not explained. Whether that was a "who" or a "what" remained unclear until the episode ''[[It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away]]''. The first clue of Nadia's existence was [[The Morrigan]] giving Bo a small box and telling her "it is the key to saving Nadia." When it was obvious that Bo had no idea what The Morrigan was talking about, she then told Bo that Nadia was Lauren's girlfriend. Lauren was seen at the end of the episode standing over what appeared to be some kind of pod and talking to the person within it, before kissing the forehead of the woman that is held within it, which made it more obvious that it was Nadia within the pod. | |||
More of Lauren and Nadia's past was revealed in the episode ''[[Death Didn't Become Him]]'' where the Lich provided some knowledge to Bo and Lauren about what The Morrigan had given Bo. It turned out that the item was a African Shaman's cursing nail. There are two identical nails created, one remains by itself, the other is embedded into a piece of wood. The nail in the wood must be removed in order to remove the curse from whomever the curse has been placed on. When that was done, Nadia would likely awaken. While Bo was hurt by Lauren not confiding in her about Nadia, Bo promised to find a way to save Nadia for Lauren's sake. | |||
Nadia's arc truly began in the episode ''[[Masks]]''. Bo learned the truth about what happened to Nadia from [[Lachlan]], who was The New Ash at that time. He revealed to Bo that Nadia was on a trip with Lauren to the Congo when she was cursed by a Dark Fae shaman. This curse was set in place by the old [[The Ash|Ash]] so he could enlist Lauren's help in finding a cure for a serious disease afflicting the Fae population of a Congo village. As a result of The Ash's actions, Nadia spent the next five years in a coma, Lauren aligned with the Light Fae in exchange for the old Ash's help in finding a cure to save Nadia from a disease that did not in fact exist. Nadia's curse was removed by Bo when she travelled to Africa, finds the Shaman that set the curse and removes Nadia's cursing nail. When Bo returns from completing this task and freeing Nadia, she finds Lauren and Nadia in each other's arms and walks away from the pair in obvious heartache. At the end of this episode, Nadia and Lauren attend Bo's birthday party, Bo is introduced to Nadia and there is some obvious friction and uncomfortable feelings among the three of them. Lauren repeats her vows to the Ash, thinking that it was The Ash that saved Nadia as Bo has been sworn never to tell Lauren the truth about what happened by Lachlan. | |||
Following these events, in the episode ''[[Barometz. Trick. Pressure.]]'', Lauren and Nadia visit Bo and ask to borrow her car to go on a road trip, Bo gives them her car and the two leave for a short time. | |||
The arc continued in ''[[School's Out]]'' when the pair returned from their trip and there is obvious tension between the two because Nadia doesn't know about the Fae world and Lauren's real job and she believes, rightly, that Lauren is hiding something from her. Nadia's assumption is that whatever it is, Bo must be involved in it. At one point in the episode, Nadia takes pictures of Lauren and is later is seen reviewing a close up of Lauren's medallion. | |||
Things continued to fall apart in the episode ''[[The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire]]'' where Nadia felt insecure and increasingly jealous of Bo and when Bo needed Lauren's help solving a case, she insisted on going to Bo's home with her. While Bo and Lauren were discussing the problem, Nadia, under the pretext of going to the bathroom, searched Bo's bedroom. When Bo caught her doing so, Nadia confessed feeling threatened by Bo. Bo tells Nadia that she has no reason to be jealous and promises not to tell Lauren what Nadia did. At the end of the episode, Nadia cuts her hand with a knife, a strange look in her eyes. When Lauren discovers what has happened, she treats Nadia. Nadia tells Lauren that she doesn't understand what's going on. However, unseen by Lauren, Nadia's expression changes as if she is possessed by something or someone as the episode ends. | |||
Nadia's final appearance is in the episode ''[[Truth and Consequences]]'' which marks the end of her arc and her character. As Nadia's blackouts become worse, Lauren attempts to find a cure. She discovers that that the cure she created that ended the African Fae plague five years previously had an effect on Nadia's hemoglobin. Lauren attempted to administer a modified version to Nadia, but she becomes violent. After Nadia attempts to attack Lauren in the shower, Lauren asks Bo for help. While this happens, Nadia storms into Bo's place looking for her, but finds only Kenzi there. Nadia injures Kenzi by throwing her across a room and then running away. Nadia returns home to confront Lauren, demanding to know what exactly she is hiding from her. Lauren explains about the Fae and Nadia seems fascinated by them, but focuses mainly on the Ash and Bo for unknown reasons. Bo attempts to contact Lauren, which interrupts them, and makes Nadia violent towards Lauren. Bo eventually arrives and at first Nadia acts scared but then turns violent attacking both Bo and Lauren. At one point Nadia holds Lauren by the throat and tries to strangle her, but then seems to snap out of what is happening to her and realizes what she is doing, letting Lauren go. Grasping that she is a threat to Lauren, she begs Lauren to kill her. When Lauren refuses to do so, Nadia turns to Bo who also refuses. When Nadia attacks Lauren, Bo stabs her with a knife. Nadia is mortally wounded and falls to the floor thanking Bo and dies while a grief stricken Lauren blames herself for what has happened. It is made clear in the aftermath that [[The Garuda]] had taken control of Nadia and had been using her as a means to obtain information about Bo and Lachlan before he began his attacks on them and, eventually, Trick at the end of the second season. | |||
