The ceremony begins with Stella reading from a parchment as Trick stands beside her and Bo is surrounded by the others there. Stella asks Bo if she accepts the invitation and Bo pronounces that she does. Stella tells Bo that she can select an aide to take with her into the Dawning, meaning a weapon, but also tells Bo that she cannot have a weapon unless she chooses a side, either Light Fae or Dark Fae. Bo does not hesitate and refuses to pick a side which means she must enter the Temple without a weapon. Dyson then arrives and announces that he "offers myself as hand." Bo refuses his offer as Trick looks at Dyson and he returns a hard look back to him. Dyson asks Bo if she understands what hand means, her answer is: "I know when you are up to no good." Dyson explains that a hand is like a companion, but Bo does not believe him. Stella asks Trick if Dyson understands what he is offering and Trick brushes Stella off saying: "the offer has been made." Bo refuses again, and then Kenzi offers to go but before this can continue further, Lauren tells Bo that she must take any advantage and Dyson will keep Bo safe. Dyson and Lauren share a look before Lauren kisses Bo. As they do, Kenzi places her hand on Dyson's shoulder in support. As the kiss ends, Dyson is seen in the background between Lauren and Bo as they look at each other. Lauren wishes Bo good luck and Bo promises that she does feel lucky. Bo then leads Dyson to a pair of bowls on the floor, one with flowers in it, one with water. She takes one flower and places it in the water which then begins to have waves in it and then a portal of energy appears in front of them both. In the next moment, the two vanish and the portal closes as Bo enters the Temple to face her Dawning. | The ceremony begins with Stella reading from a parchment as Trick stands beside her and Bo is surrounded by the others there.

Following another commercial, | Following another commercial, Bo and Dyson exit the portal to what appears to be the Dal Riata, except that is it empty and the song "The Wanderer" is playing on the stereo. Bo turns off the music and looks at a advertising card for a beer company, while Dyson comments that at least the beer taps are working. Bo asks Dyson to explain himself and he tells Bo that the Dawning happens only once in a Fae's life and adds that no matter how it goes it will be different so she should have a drink with him while she can. Bo tries to ask Dyson why he is there, but a man enters the room pushing a broom. He introduces himself as The Caretaker (Ron Lea), mentions that he is wondering why Dyson was there as well. He also comments that he no longer remembers his own name, or that of his mother's for being in the Temple so long. He seems amazed to see Bo, "an unaligned Succubus" being there and in a slipshod matter of fact way says to Bo: "Anyway, welcome to the Dawning, etcetera, etcetera. See you brought yourself a hero too. Tip my hat to you if I was wearing one." Bo is somewhat miffed as The Caretakers has been talking around her to Dyson adding that "it's kind of my big night." Dyson explains that the entire Dawning "sprung up on Bo" and they'd like to get through it. The Caretaker explains that Bo needs to find the way out and when Bo wonders if he wouldn't like to just tell her how he laughs: "You don't disappoint little lady, you've got a real spirit, very funny. Regardless, you still have to find the key. The key you seek unlocks the portal accept the key in the form it is presented and you're free. Reject it and, well. imagine slobbering all over the place. Unable to remember the people you love." Bo nods: "UnderFae. Got it." The Caretaker stresses that Bo must find the key or she will not leave once more then the stereo plays once more distracting Bo and Dyson. When they look back, The Caretaker is gone. Dyson comments, "That was quite the exit." Bo asks, "So what now?" | ||
Back at the Dal Riata, Kenzi is worrying about Bo as Trick paces nearby. He offers Kenzi some nachos, but she declines saying she isn't hungry. When Trick asks if she wants to talk, Kenzi talks about the rash she got and confronting the Kitsune and that she was told by the Kitsune that: "I could be Fae." Trick is surprised saying, "Did she now." Kenzi brushes the Kitsune's words off saying that it is impossible. She asks Trick if it could be true, but he ignores the question and asks what Stella said to her earlier in the Dal Riata. Kenzi revealed that Stella told her what happens to humans that are abandoned by the Fae that claimed them. Trick is uncomfortable for a moment and then tells Kenzi that she is not Bo's pet. Kenzi points out that she isn't Fae either. Trick stresses that he has even confidence that Bo will return safely, but Kenzi presses on the question of if Bo doesn't return safely. Trick jokes that Hale or Dyson could use someone to do the chores around their homes which upsets Kenzi and she tells Trick: "Don't play me homie." Trick relents and tells Kenzi that if Bo wasn't around he could claim her. Trick adds that he has no right to but he tells Kenzi that she is family to him and he hopes that she doesn't mind. Kenzi pokes a bit of fun and tells Trick that it is a bit "presumptuous" of him but "if you must." Trick continues telling Kenzi that "As long as you want it, you have a place in my world. Our world." Kenzi begins to cry and embraces Trick thanking him for giving her this comfort. Kenzi then asks Trick what they need to do and to Kenzi's question about sitting and waiting, Trick turns around and picks up a shotgun telling her that they have to prepare for the worst. | |||
Bo and Dyson in the meantime are still at the bar when there is the sound of an animal roaring which gets Dyson's attention. He races off with Bo in search of the source of the sound saying that it is coming from the key. After taking only a few steps they arrive at Bo's home where a kettle is on the boil and whistling. Bo comments: "Okay, I know my front door doesn't lead to the Dal, but I know that some nights I wish it did." There are images of Bo, but not Bo shown and she comments that the place seems slightly off. Dyson replies that he honestly can't say as all he really remembers is Bo's bedroom as he walks past Bo and bumps into a metal container bruising a shin. Bo snickers: "So karma does exist then." But the sound happens again and Dyson continues on with Bo behind him. Bo stops and asks why they are going towards the sound, Dyson explains "The Guardian has the key. we need to get it." When Bo is not eager to continue on, Dyson promises her that he will not let anything happen to her. When Dyson turns around, an UnderFae that looks very much like the one Bo was shown by Trick in a dungeon appears and attacks Dyson as he tries to protect Bo, slashing his chest and causing him to bleed. | |||
The UnderFae vanishes and they continue to chase it, shifting into a workout room with posters and calendars on the wall which the camera focuses on for a moment. Bo tells Dyson to "stop cock blocking me", Dyson answers, "I guess a thousand years of shivery is hard to shake" groaning from the pain as he does so. Bo tells him that she can look after herself, but Dyson explains "Yeah, but I wanted to be here." Bo asks again why that is and Dyson finally tells Bo that he loves her. Bo is stunned for a long moment before telling him, "Was that so hard to say?" Dyson answers, "You're with Lauren now. I can't say I like it, but I respect it." Bo punches Dyson making him groan in pain and then tells him: "You aren't going to be much help to me if you are pining away for me moron." Bo pauses and then asks Dyson: "Is this some sort of suicide mission? Some kind of male honour bullshit?" Dyson's look is stoic: "I'm here because I want to be." Bo questions this and Dyson tells Bo: "Because you would have done the same thing for me. Cause in the last three years I've learned more from you than in the last 1,500 from every person I have ever met. Even if I can't have you, even if I can't be with the woman I love with every ounce of my being." There is a long pause and then he adds, "Look, I'm just a wolf standing in front of a Succubus asking her..." Bo then strikes him again, calling him an asshole and yells: "You are the most frustrating stubborn assface that I have even met!" Dyson chuckles in pain as he tells Bo that he doesn't like himself much either. Bo tells him to stop being charming, that it isn't the place and that she will kill him." | |||
Bo pauses and then asks what they do now and Dyson tells Bo: "Nothing. But ask me in a hundred years when things are different." Dyson then tries to kiss Bo again, but the UnderFae appears and Dyson turns to attack it but it thrown aside by a single blow. Bo is then thrown into some lockers nearby before being dragged away from Dyson. She does however manage to strike the UnderFae who drops a key and she scrambles after it, managing to take hold before the UnderFae can stop her. As she holds it tightly, both Bo and the UnderFae vanish leaving Dyson alone in the gym. Seeing a door in the distance Dyson runs through it and finds himself with The Caretaker who is playing some kind of board game. Dyson demands to know where Bo is, but The Caretaker comments that "Her subconscious is an extraordinary playground. I can't wait to watch the next part unfold." Dyson is confused saying that the Dawning should be over as Bo has the key, but The Caretaker tells Dyson that Bo has "a key, big difference." Dyson starts to rush off saying that he has to find Bo and The Caretaker mocks his words adding that "We're moving on, or at least Bo is." Dyson demands to know where Bo is again, but the only answer he gets is a smile. | |||
Elsewhere within the Dawning, Lauren appears dressed as a police officer in the same room that Dyson and Hale used. As she sits at her desk, Bo, also dressed as a police officer greets her with: "Good morning partner." | |||
