Plot
Short Summary
Bo meets with Trick and he tells her of his concerns about her plan. He gives her a vial of life essence to protect herself that was given to him by Bo's grandmother, to be used in the event she feels herself slipping towards the dark side. A dark force enters and transports Trick away, Bo unable to stop it. Trick is taken to The Garuda and is shown his past which reveals that Trick was losing the war between the Fae and that Trick's wife went to try and broker a peace between Trick and the attacking armies. However, she was killed by a traitor in Trick's midst who sent an order in his name to have her and the opposing leader killed. This turned both the Light and Dark Fae against him and to save his life, Trick wrote the Fae Laws. Lauren gives Bo the remaining venom she has saved, enough for one dose only, and tells Bo that she is what they need, a leader, and Bo takes that to heart in her plan against The Garuda. Bo tells her friends that her solution to The Garuda's power is for her to enslave her friends with her blood in order to remove all strife between them. Lauren injects Bo's blood into everyone, but Vex manages to avoid being injected by diverting everyone's attention. Bo tells Kenzi that if anything goes wrong, she must release her hold on the others, even if that means killing her and Kenzi promises that she will do so if need be. Kenzi attempts to decipher Trick's notes and eventually figures out the location of The Garuda, and Hale's sister Val arrives to join the group in their fight. They confront The Garuda, who is holding Trick in an insane asylum. The group splits up to search for Trick and in the course of doing so, Vex is injured which causes both he and Lauren to be left behind as the others continue. Kenzi is severely injured in another confrontation, Hale and Val unable to stop it from happening and taking the three of them out of the fight as well. Dyson and Bo arrive as Trick is about to rewrite the Laws under the sway of The Garuda's powers. Dyson attacks but is severely injured. Bo then confronts it and the two battle. Vex's trickery is revealed and he is injected which adds to Bo's powers. Hale manages to use his powers to stop Kenzi bleeding to death. Kenzi demands to be taken to Bo and the others go to join her. The Garuda then enters Trick's body and attempts to use his body to rewrite the laws, but Vex delays this using his powers. Bo uses the venom on Trick's body and kills The Garuda, but in doing so, also kills Trick. Bo begins to slip away into darkness and insanity, but she gives the life essence to Trick which saves him instead of herself. She then continues to turn dark, but Kenzi performs the ceremony to unbind everyone from Bo and stops it from continuing. In the aftermath, something is effecting Kenzi causing her arm to glow with power, Trick is unsure of himself, Lauren is considering leaving since there is no Ash thanks to a comment by Dyson, and Bo seems to still be under the effects of the dark that is growing within her.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) watching Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) taking inventory of a collection of weapons, and a lucky stuffed teddy bear named Ziggy that Kenzi owns. Bo watches this but seems despondent and eventually tells Kenzi that they have all kinds of weapons, but none of them will work against The Garuda. Bo also tells Kenzi that she isn't sure that Lauren can save Lachlan's venom, and even if she does, Bo has no idea how she will be able to get close enough to use it on The Garuda. Kenzi tells Bo that she wants to help her, but she has no idea how to do that. The pair are silent for a moment and then Kenzi strikes Bo across the cheek, a surprised look on her face. A moment later and Bo strikes Kenzi back, Kenzi then crying out in pain. Bo turns away from Kenzi and calls out Vex's name. Vex (Paul Amos) appears from behind Bo's sofa and asks if he is disturbing them, then tells the pair it is the other way around. Bo asks what his problem is, and Vex tells Bo that the problem is that he isn't able to get a decent night's sleep for all of the whining that Bo and Kenzi are going on about. When Vex mentions that the whining is enough to make him want to cut his own ears off, Kenzi takes a knife and moves towards Vex. Vex takes control of Kenzi's body, turns her around, and then makes her stab the teddy bear with the knife she is holding. Bo suggests that Vex might sleep better back in The Morrigan's prison and Vex gives in telling Bo that: "it's your party and you can whine if you want to. I'll be here trying not to think about what's left behind on a Succubus' couch." Bo's cell phone rings and she finds that Trick is calling, asking her to meet him at the Dal Riata as he wants to talk to her as soon as possible. Bo agrees and leave to meet with Trick, but before he hangs up, Trick asks Bo to bring the cane sword he gave her for her birthday in the episode Masks as well.
Bo arrives in Trick's home at the Dal Riata, and sees Trick with maps, drawings and other pieces of information on their enemy throughout the room. Trick explains that some of the items are dispatches that reveal The Garuda has resurfaced in the city and is attacking, or making Fae attack Fae. Bo comments: "Let me guess. A trail of dead and a lingering smell of burnt chicken?" Trick tells Bo that he is getting close to pinpointing the location of their enemy, and that is why he calls Bo to this meeting. Trick tells Bo that he is concerned about her plan, that the extra power she is going to add to herself will be dangerous, that she could lose herself to the darkness that is within herself. Bo tells Trick that it is a risk she is willing to take if it means a chance for them to win the coming battle. Trick then asks for the cane sword and tells Bo that it once belonged to Isabeau, Trick's long dead wife. Bo smiles and is happy that she inherited her Grandmother's name. Trick tells Bo that she received much more than a name alone. Trick then unscrews the handle of the sword to reveal a small vial of liquid hidden within. Trick explains that what it contains is Isabeau's life essence. Trick explains that the liquid can cure illness, neutralize poison and "can stave off the darkness from within." Trick explains that it has amazing healing powers and is the source of Bo's own healing abilities. Trick tells Bo that he had hid the vial for a long time, waiting for the right moment to use it, and he believes that now is the right time for its powers to be revealed.
Questions in this Episode
- How long has Kenzi had Ziggy the bear?
- Just how many weapons do Bo and Kenzi have lying around?
- How is it that Bo's blood can be injected into other people and it does not cause health problems? Mixing of blood types is normally a very bad idea.
Answers in this Episode
- Trick gave Bo a cane sword for her birthday in the episode Masks. The cane was once owned by Trick's wife Isabeau and in the hilt it contained a vial of "life essence" that was Isabeau's.
- Bo's real name is, apparently, Isabeau. This is the same name as Bo's grandmother, who was Trick's wife.
- Bo's healing abilities are provided through the powers of her Grandmother. If this was given naturally or by consuming some life essence in the past is not made clear.
- Rabisu in Akkadian mythology are evil vampiric spirits or demons that are always menacing the entrance to houses and hiding in dark corners, waiting to attack people. You can find out more about this myth here. In the Lost Girl universe, they are UnderFae creatures made of what appears to be smoke that can shift in and out of existence, taking people with them and transporting them elsewhere that hide in the shadows.
- Lauren's opinion is that Bo is stronger than Trick is.
- During the Great Fae War, Trick made his last stand at his castle in Edenderry. There are several Edenderries in the real world and it is not known which of them this might refer to. The most likely possibility is the town of Edenderry, County Offaly, in the Republic of Ireland as it has a castle that was placed under siege during the 1599 Earl of Tyrone's rebellion.
