Plot
Short Summary
Kenzi and Nate return from their trip and discover Bo in bed with Ryan. After this awkward moment passes, they all spend time together at a restaurant, but it doesn’t go well. Ryan attempts to do something good for Nate’s career by contacting The Morrigan, who recognizes Kenzi at their meeting. The Morrigan offers Nate a recording deal but Kenzi makes a deal with The Morrigan to save Nate’s life. The deal is that Kenzi will owe her a favor whenever she wants to collect it. Afterwards, Nate blames himself for not getting the deal and Kenzi feels guilty for destroying Nate’s dreams. Dyson arrests the son of a powerful man and as a result of doing so, he is suspended from the police force. Hale puts his job on the line for Dyson to have him reinstated again, but Dyson decides that he doesn’t need to explain or answer to anyone again including, it seems The Ash.
Hale investigates a case in which backpackers are turning up years older than they once were, and dying soon after. Trick suggests it is a Serket, but suggests that Bo is the one to look into it and she does so. Bo discovers that there is a medical clinic in the area that backpackers go to make some money and a pair of Serkets take the youth from the young and give it to those that are willing to pay for it. Bo sneaks into the clinic but is ambushed by them. It turns out that the Serket and her sister are Dark Fae and the older sister forced the younger one to kill humans to make money. They take some life from Bo, but Ryan intervenes. In the end, Bo convinces the younger sister to rebel against the older and the scheme is ended. Kenzi tells Bo what she had to do to save Nate, and that Ryan is to blame. Bo goes to see Ryan and to tell him that they are over but he manages to persuade Bo to stay with him over her objections to his actions.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and Nate (Aaron Ashmore) returning from going on the out of town performing gig that Nate had. Kenzi calls out for Bo, but doesn't get a response and Nate suggests that Bo might be sleeping. However, Kenzi tells him that Bo would want to see them both, and in the next moment, the two of them hear Bo and someone else having sex and the walls of Bo's bedroom rhythmically being hit over and over again. Nate comments that "it seems like Bo has company" and Kenzi begins to leave with Nate. suggesting that "I know this place that has the best blueberry muffins ever. However, the sounds stop and then Ryan (Anthony Lemke) appears, partially dressed and says to Kenzi: "I'll take two." Kenzi recognizes Ryan as "mystery birthday bracelet guy right?" Ryan then realizes who she is, and also who Nate is and introduces himself as Ryan to them both. He shakes hands with Nate, but does not shakes hands with Kenzi. An awkward moment passes between them and then Ryan asks how the trip was. Kenzi's answer is that it was cut too short and she again begins to leave with Nate, but Bo appears from her bedroom, a wrap partially around her. Bo whips it closed as she realizes that Kenzi and Nate are both there and seems embarrassed. Bo comments that she didn't think that they would be back until later that evening, but Nate tells Bo that his last gig fell through. As he does this, Ryan whispers something into Bo's ear that we do not hear, and in the next moment, Kenzi and Nate leave "looking for pastries." After they do, Bo comments to Ryan "that was awkward." Then Ryan wonders if he should have asked Kenzi and Nate to join them and Bo's answer is "and awkward just went to creepy." Ryan suggests that it could be fun and Bo idly asks him if what they just did wasn't fun. Ryan's answer is: "Fun? No. Like, splendid, astonishing, educational, mind-blowing." Bo's response as she pushes him towards the bedroom is: "That just tells me I have a lot more to teach you."
The scene changes to a backpacker walking down the street in the city, and arrives at a youth hostel seemingly in a rush. One of the bystanders he passes greets him as Tony (Kyle Labine), but he does't stop to talk. Moving to the back of the building, he takes off his backpack and then begins to roll what appears to be a cigarette of some kind. Then an old man walks up behind Tony, frightening him into dropping what he was working on. He asks for help and then collapses to the floor. The old man tells Tony that his name is Cole, but Tony does not believe it is him. Then the camera focuses on Cole's neck revealing a long wound in the skin before Tony runs off in a panic and Cole dies.
After the opening credits, we return to Bo's place, Bo sitting on her bed zipping up her boots and Kenzi returns, one of her hands over her eyes and asking if Bo is finished playing doctor yet. They embrace happily and Kenzi calls it: "A long overdue reunion." Bo apologizes and says that she didn't know that Kenzi and Nate were coming. Kenzi's answer is: "I didn't know you were either", and Bo gives Kenzi a slightly amused look. Kenzi then asks Bo about the voicemail she left the previous episode about being Lochlyn's champion and something bad coming soon. Bo tries to apologize for being distracted before Kenzi left, explaining that Lochlyn had told her a lot of things and she was trying to process them. Kenzi becomes more confused when Bo tells her that Lochlyn is on their side, but Bo does not explain further and asks Kenzi about "life on the road with Nate." Kenzi tells her with some embarrassment and a smile: "Just God awful. He's such a drag." After Bo says that she is looking forwards to knowing more about him, Kenzi asks about Ryan and Bo is just as embarrassed, Kenzi commenting that "what in the world could make a Succubus blush?" and she comments that she needs to get to know Ryan better too. Bo then suggests that they all go to lunch together to which Kenzi agrees.
We then see Ryan in his lab working on something as Bo sneaks up behind him and embraces him. Ryan tells Bo to put her hands where he can see them and then finishes working on the device, which he says will fit in a cell phone and "take out an entire city block." Bo takes the device out of Ryan's hands and then tells him that she thinks they should go on a date. After Ryan suggests that they go to the Napa Valley in California, Bo explains that what she meant was that they and Kenzi and Nate go out together, but Ryan seems less than excited about the idea. Eventually, Ryan agrees to the idea saying that: "Humans at lunch instead of humans for lunch." Bo slaps him and Ryan claims he was kidding, but when Bo asks him if he is sure, his answer is: "Sort of."
The scene then shifts to the police station as Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) arrives with a prisoner named Jack (Kyle Buchanan) who protests his innocence and that Dyson had arrested him illegally. As they enter the offices, an older man, Jack's father Garrity (David Richmond-Peck) steps in front of Dyson, blocking his way and asking if Jack is alright. Dyson warns him to move aside immediately, but he does not and becomes beligerant towards Dyson which results in Dyson putting his arm behind his back and throwing him against a wall. As this happens, Hale (K.C. Collins) enters the room with XXX, who is their superior. Dyson is pulled off Garrity and then is told by him that he has made a big mistake and it will cost him. Hale pulls Dyson into one of the side rooms and asks him what he was thinking, but Dyson's answer is that he's tired of people thinking they are above the law. Hale then turns the conversation towards another problem that they have to deal with. He tells Dyson that an old man died with strange wounds on his neck, but the medical records were a match for a 22 year old backpacker. Hale then tells Dyson that he is going to see Trick about it, but Dyson says that he won't be going as CXXXXX arrives and tells Dyson to come to his office immediately.
At the Dal Riata, Bo finally meets with Trick (Richard Howland) and apologizes for not seeing him sooner. Trick tells her that in the coming days open communication will become important and that they need to align their strategies. They are interrupted by Hale's arrival, who asks for Trick's help in figuring out how the backpacker died. Trick looks at a photograph and indicates that the wounds look to be the work of a Serket, but that it is highly unusual behaviour. He explains that Serkets thrive on giving life, healing, restoring vitality and youthfulness and that killing is against everything they stand for. Hale then tells Trick that he will take care of it, but Trick tells Hale that he thinks that Bo should be the one to investigate. Hale hesitates, but then relents with: "Whatever the Blood King says." He hands Bo all of the information he has and then she leaves, Hale looking unhappy about the situation.
Questions in this Episode
- The Big One: What will Kenzi have to do for The Morrigan as a result of her owing a favour?
- Will this 'favour' mean that Kenzi will have to betray Bo?
- Was the entire relationship with Ryan a setup to trap Kenzi?
- At the beginning of the episode, Ryan appears less than a couple of seconds after having sex with Bo, and he's dressed in a T-shirt and underwear. How is this possible? Having "super-fast" Fae powers doesn't make sense as he's never shown that he has them, and as neither he or Bo knew that Kenzi and Nate where there, why would Ryan bother getting even partially dressed?
- Is there anything significant in Ryan not shaking hands or touching Kenzi?
Answers in this Episode
- Kenzi really does not like Ryan.
- When Bo and Ryan have sex, it seems that Bo's inhibitions are no longer there.
- Ryan is Dark Fae and in this episode says that he won't betray his clan.
- The gig that Nate set up was marginally successful career-wise, but more so with Kenzi.
- In Egyptian mythology, Serket (also spelled Selket, Selchis, Selkis, and Serqet) is the goddess of healing poisonous stings and bites who originally was the deification of the scorpion. You can find out more about this legend [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serket here.}
- In the Lost Girl universe, Serket are a type of Fae that can take the energies from the young, making them older and if they take too much, killing them. They store this youth in canonic jars and then can transfer that youth to others or use it for themselves. They thrive on giving life, healing, restoring vitality and youthfulness. Normally killing is against everything they stand for.
