Plot

Short Summary

Vex and Kenzi attend an art festival underground and witness Kenzi's friend Aussie vanish in the middle of a show as an actor is killed. Kenzi asks Bo to help her and they discover a den of Alligator Fae led by a Fae named Atticus who, it appears, threatens to reveal the Fae to the human world. Through Hale's being the Ash, Dyson discovers that the Alligator Fae are being threatened by a Pied Piper who wants them killed to allow for his own political and economic gains in having a subway built through their home. The Alligator Fae have been framed for the disappearance of humans and Fae so that this will happen. However, Bo's involvement leads to her bringing the Piper to Attitus and the two face off, Bo leaving the two of them trapped underground in battle with each other. Lauren and Bo's relationship continues to grow, the two becoming more and more intimate. Bo experiences dreams of her attacking others and taking their Chi which lead to Trick contacting a Weaver to try and help Bo with her dreams. The Weaver does so and discovers an image of Bo in a monstrous form feeding on someone. Dyson meets his new partner, Tamsin, who is Dark Fae, and is partnered with Dyson as an experiment between the Light and Dark Fae. But the two are immediately at odds with each other. Tamsin also accuses Bo of feeding on a Dark Fae and shows evidence to that effect.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), Vex (Paul Amos), and a friend of Kenzi's named Aussie (Daniel De Santo), entering an underground arts festival. Vex continually complains about why he is there, making references to Fae feeding on humans several times quite loudly. Kenzi and Aussie talk about some of the times they spent together in the not-so-good-days while Vex continues to make flippant comments. An actor in a alligator suit (Adam Barrett) appears which makes Vex attack him with a knife. Kenzi however manages to talk Vex down but not before the actor wets himself. As the three receive armbands for the show, Aussie mentions that people have gone missing underground and Kenzi tries to comfort him explaining that she and Vex will take care of the problem whatever it is. When Vex protests about not agreeing to this, Kenzi warns him to be nice. Vex then tries to be nice asking if Aussie is short for Oswald, but is told that Aussie likes Australia and that's why he calls himself Aussie. When Vex becomes snarky, Aussie asks Vex id anyone ever told him he looks like Robert Smith from The Cure. Vex replies that people have, especially an "old friend from Wales who apparently is walking again."

Meanwhile, Bo (Anna Silk) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) are at Bo's home in bed together. The scene is very emotional, the two obviously in love with each other. In the middle of their moment Lauren comments that "I must be the only woman in history that has to pretend to be a ditz to repel sexual attraction" which makes Bo laugh in reply before drawing Lauren beneath her and continuing their moment together, Lauren then adds she is kidding and Bo's answer is that she knows Lauren is before Bo's phone goes off with a message from Trick asking Bo to see him and that it is important. When Lauren asks how important, No's answer is that Trick (Richard Howland) exaggerates before the two continue.

Returning to Kenzi, Vex and Aussie, the show begins with an MC (Danny Waugh) introducing the attendees to the show talking about myths and legends such as Bloody Mary and the Slender Man, before claiming that only one, the Sewer Alligator, is true and the actor from earlier in the episode appears on stage as well. As the show continues, several of the people around Kenzi and Vex begin to vanish before the lights go out for a moment. When they come back on, Aussie has vanished and the actor has been killed on the stage causing a stampede for the exit by everyone there as Kenzi calls out Aussie's name.

After the opening credits, a black and white flashback of Bo feeding on someone in the alleyway leading to the Dal Riata is shown, which occurred at the end of the previous episode Caged Fae. In the middle of Bo feeding the scene suddenly switches to Bo waking up in bed with Lauren as if from a bad dream. Lauren asks if Bo is alright, and Bo begins to explain, but then changes her mind simply saying that she is alright. Lauren then tells Bo that for the last two nights she has been with Bo, Bo has woken up screaming from her dreams. Lauren asks, teasingly, if committing to her is that terrifying, and Bo assures her that it isn't. Bo kisses Lauren goodbye, telling her to go back to sleep, but as Bo leaves the bedroom, Lauren reaches for a wine glass, tips it over, and it shatters, obviously exhausted from Bo's attentions.

Bo is walking through her home, a contemplative look on her as Kenzi and Vex barge in.

Questions in this Episode

• What kind of Dark Fae is Tamsin? This is not revealed in this episode. However, some articles have described her as being a Valkyrie. What they are in the Lost Girl universe has not been revealed.
• Who's idea was it to partner Dyson and Tamsin together? Was it Hale to promote a better relationship between the Light and Dark or The Morrigan that did so in order to drive a wedge between Bo and Dyson?
• When Bo and Lauren are in bed together at the beginning of the episode, did Bo feed at all on Lauren? Or, more interestingly, did Bo give Lauren some of her energy?

Answers in this Episode

• Tamsin is Dark Fae and has been partnered with Dyson as an "experiment."
• Hale appears to no longer be a detective, his cover being that he won the lottery and has retired from the police force. This allows him to be The Ash full-time.
• The man that Bo attacked in the previous episode was Dark Fae and did survive the attack, but is in a coma.
• Bo apparently has no memory of her attacking the Dark Fae at the end of the previous episode. However she does dream of it and has woken up at least twice screaming from the dream.
• Kenzi spent time living underground before she met Bo and Aussie saved her life once.
• Vex's arm still appears to be injured in this episode.
