Plot

Short Summary

Bo finds the missing Helskor shoe and enters Valhalla, which appears like a vast hotel, to find Kenzi which Bo does after masquerading as one of the staff, finding Kenzi in one of the hotel rooms. Kenzi receives a note from Hale that tells of their upcoming wedding, and she prepares for that joyfully. Lauren, after seeing Bo vanish into thin air when she puts on the Helskor demands answers from Tamsin, but instead of answering her questions, she gives Lauren a book of her experiences there which explains the purpose of the Helskor, that for the wearer of them to bring a dark army from Valhalla to Earth. Tamsin sees Freya, the Queen of the Valkyrie, and is made to do the bidding of Bo’s Father. However, Bo manages to overcome Tamsin and returns Tamsin to normal where she admits that for the first time, she has a family in Bo, Kenzi and her friends. At the moment of Kenzi’s wedding, Freya stops Kenzi’s wedding, saying that Kenzi belongs to Bo’s father and intends to send her to Bo’s Father rather than to Hale. Bo intervenes and takes Kenzi’s place, which appears to have been her father’s plan from the beginning. Kenzi is returned to her body, which is buried in her grave while Bo is sent on her way to face her father.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a series of flashbacks which include: Bo (Anna Silk) telling Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) that they are family, and Kenzi telling Bo that family sticks together, Trick (Richard Howland) telling about the Helskor and what they are capable of, including leading to the end of days, Bo telling Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) that she needs to find the missing Helskor, Hale (K.C. Collins) proposing to Kenzi and then being killed by Massimo, then Bo refusing to save Hale, Kenzi telling Bo that she would never forgive her. Bo telling Lauren that she chose her and then Lauren broke her heart, Kenzi demanding that Bo unclaim her and then Bo doing so, Bo crying out that her father was close by and that she could feel him, Dyson claiming reality to Bo, and Bo warning Lauren that she was going to be a target as she was able to turn Fae human. Kenzi reading the prophecy about Bo's heart being able to close the portal and stop Bo's father from returning to Earth, Kenzi stating that she would wait in Valhalla for Bo to rescue her, Bo grieving at Kenzi's grave, and finally Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) warning Dyson that he could not allow Bo to find the second Helskor.

The actual episode begins with an image of a rocky desert landscape, Bo climbing up a desert peak and singing the words to She'll be coming round the Mountain as she does so. Reaching the top of the peak, Bo pauses, looking around at the landscape, having a flashback of Kenzi's death at the Portal, and then rummaging around a bird's nest that rests there. eventually removing the second Helskor that she was seeking. As Bo holds the shoe, the ground shakes and she comments: "Like I wasn't expecting a booby trap." Bo then begins her descent, but then loses her grip at one point, commenting to herself "Oh, come on." and then falls to the ground a long distance below her. The scene then moves to Bo laying on the ground and three hunters finding her there unconscious, badly injured, but alive. After they comment about "taking her home and taking turns taking care of her", one of them leans in close to Bo, and in the next moment Bo takes the Chi from that hunter and then the other two immediately afterwards. Bo is healed, then comments to one of the hunters: "How sad, you don't get to take care of anyone ever again." before setting foot on his privates, picking up the Helskor and then walking away, continuing to sing to herself as she does so.

Following a very abbreviated opening title sequence, which consists of the Lost Girl show title and a few bars of the theme, Bo is then seen back at her home where she rummages around looking for something before calling out "Roommate!" and storming off. Bo enters another room where Tamsin is eating cereal and demands to know where Tamsin hid the other Helskor that Bo had possession of. Tamsin attempts to lie about where it is, replying "Where'd I hide what shoe?", Bo commenting: "Oh lying is not your strong suit milk mouth, cough it up." When Tamsin comments that Bo has found the other shoe and asks how, Bo replies: "Eagles. Climbing. Very 'I'm not a girl. Not yet a woman.' So now I can put on both shoes and skip into Valhalla to get Kenzi back. Kenzi? You remember? She raised you when you were a wee reborn Valkyrie?" Tamsin pleads with Bo, telling he that she cannot go to Valhalla, but when Bo asks why, Tamsin can only reply that Bo cannot go, but not the reason why she cannot, other than Bo will never come back, adding: "There's a why, a really good why." Bo is unimpressed commenting: "Good stuff, very convincing." Tamsin begs Bo to trust her and not continue on the path she is choosing, but Bo replies: "I can hear you in your sleep. Screaming. What happened when you delivered Kenzi's soul?" Tamsin tells Bo that she wishes she could explain, but she cannot do so. Bo begs Tamsin to tell her what happened no matter how awful or horrible it is, but Tamsin refuses to answer. When Bo asks Tamsin to go with her to Valhalla, Tamsin again refuses to answer and Bo resigns herself to go to Valhalla alone. Bo demands the shoe again, Tamsin comments that it belongs to the Una Mens, Bo noting that they are all dead and wanting to know what Tamsin's point is. Tamsin then tells Bo: "It's with the next in charge." before continuing to eat her cereal.

Questions in this Episode

• Dyson originally gave one of the Helskor to Angel back in 1800s France to hide them and to give them only to the one they were meant for. How is it then that the shoes found their way to a nest in the middle of a desert mesa?
• What kind of cereal is Tamsin eating anyway? Is it Honey Berry Crunch, the cereal of the Fae or so it seems considering how many have been seen eating it at Bo's place.

Answers in this Episode

• At the beginning of the episode, Bo had possession of both Helskor.
• Tamsin was at odds with Bo from the beginning of the episode, trying to stop her from having both Helskor and going to Valhalla.
• Bo had only one focus it seems in the time after Kenzi's death and that was getting her back no matter the cost in doing so.
