Plot

Short Summary

It is three weeks after the defeat of The Garuda and Bo is out of control breaking many Fae laws and going on a rampage through the city. She is arrested by Dyson and sent to jail for her actions. However, this is a ruse to investigate the Fae prison that is run by Amazons and the Fae warden running it with Lauren as backup as the prison doctor. Hale, in the meantime, is revealed to be the new acting Ash. Vex appears with information about what is going on and attempts to convince Dyson to take him on in the place of Hale, but Dyson refuses. Bo breaks into the warden's office looking for evidence and discovers that the Amazon warden is forcing other rare Fae to bear children against their will at a highly accelerated rate so she can sell them. Helping a prisoner Bo befriended to give birth, Lauren loses her cover and Bo's deception is revealed to the warden and her guards as they arrive to claim the child. The warden then reveals her plan to force Bo to give birth to a new succubus. However, the warden is revealed as being male, being the one causing the accelerated births, and the Amazons turn on him freeing Bo and Lauren. Bo then asks Lauren to be with her, the two to be a couple, as Dyson and Kenzi arrive to help them. At the and of the episode, Hale shuts down the prison and those prisoners that were not violent are released. Bo talks to Trick about her father being most certainly Dark Fae but Trick tells her that she isn't a monster. As she leaves the Dal Riata, Bo attacks a man and takes his Chi, leaving him unconscious as she walks away with an evil smile.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a pair of police cars arriving at a bank as Bo (Anna Silk) leaves from a back door carrying a bag stuffed with money. She walks down an alley, but a pair of thugs confront her looking to take the money from her. She is cut by one of them on her cheek and is enraged over this, quickly knocking them both unconscious. She leaves the alleyway and walks past a club where three men are being told by a bouncer that they were never getting inside. She pauses and then begins to point at individuals there saying as she does: “Eeny, meeny, miny...” Then grabs the bouncer with the word “Bo’s” before draining him of some of his Chi to heal the cut on her cheek. Then Bo throws him aside before tossing the money she took from the bank into the air.

Bo then runs down another alleyway, being chased by someone, before running into the Dal Riata with Dyson (Kristen Holden-Reid) following immediately behind her. He tells her to give up and surrender, but she taunts him and then attempts to escape again as Vex (Paul Amos) watches from another part of the room. Dyson then asks Bo if there is any Fae law that she hasn’t broken in the past three weeks. Bo’s answer is that she’s having fun as Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) rushes in and demands to know what Bo has done but Vex stops her cold as Bo and Dyson continue to fight together. Dyson wins the fight and Vex releases Kenzi moments later. Dyson tells Bo that her crime spree is over as he arrests her. Bo asks Trick (Rick Howland) if she should ask for sanctuary again, but he refuses her saying that he doesn’t know who she is anymore. Bo turns and with an insane look in her eyes says: “I’m Bo bitches and I’ll be back.”

After the opening credits we find Bo being checked into prison. The guards make a record of what she is carrying which include a pair of earrings that were reported stolen, a gold woman’s watch which they note was also probably stolen, and a sex toy which Bo declares as being hers. One guard completes the procedure by saying: “Thus lists the personal possessions of Bo Dennis, lineage unknown, genus succubi.” When Bo asks if she wants an autograph, the answer is no one cares. Bo then asks about “the peanut gallery” standing one level above and watching her to which the answer is they like to watch the new girls go through decontamination.

Bo next finds herself under a cold shower as guards stand around and watch her which then leads to her being escorted through a cell block to her cell. At the cell, she tries to use her powers on the female guard, but they have no effect. She then enters the cell and meets her cellmate Sylvie. Sylvie asks Bo if she is innocent, but Bo just confirms that she did all of the things that she is accused of. Bo asks Sylvie what she did and she stole some bread to feed her starving family. She then tells Bo that her mother warned her that she would send her to Henaba prison and now that she is there, the letters she writes to her mother aren’t even opened. Bo looks through the letters and comments: “I barely knew my mom, though she did sleep with my boyfriend and try to kill me.” When asked if she has any kin outside, Bo’s answer is she has friends that are more than family, or at least she did once. Bo learns that the guards are all Amazons, Silvie adding they are all very anti-male in nature refusing to take orders from them. Bo asks about orders from the New Ash, and is told that they especially do not obey his words. Bo also learns that once every five years they do pick males, breed with them and then keep the female offspring abandoning the males in the forests. A guard then takes Bo away on what is called a work detail.

Bo is taken to the infirmary where it is revealed that Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is the prison doctor who sends the guard away. They have a conversation where it is revealed that Bo did not in fact turn bad, but was playing a role for some purpose. Bo asks why Lauren smells so bad and the answer is she poured the smell of a Skunk Ape on herself to pass as a Fae and Bo is very impressed with Lauren for figuring out that plan to hide she is human. Bo reveals next that the plan was to go undercover to investigate the corrupt prison and to find out what the Warden is up to, and to explain why the previous prison doctor, Lauren’s mentor, Dr. Evert, is missing. Lauren then gives Bo a piece telling her to keep it with her at all times. Bo makes the joke that having a “rock” so early in their relationship is a sign of commitment. Lauren teases back the question “Are we in a relationship?” as the Warden arrives with some guards. The Warden muses over Bo being a “rare Fae succubus” before telling Lauren that she is taking Bo away to other duties, mainly cleaning the Warden’s office. As she leaves, Bo says to Lauren: “See you later stinky” and Lauren sighs that she hopes this works.

Going back to the Dal Riata, Trick tries to stop Kenzi as she frets over the position Bo is in saying that she is going to a meeting. Opening a door to one of the tavern’s back rooms she calls out that “you need to fix this, you’re the Ash now.” Hale (K.C. Collins) then appears and replies: “Yes little mama, I am.”

Returning from commercial, Kenzi is in a funk complaining to both Hale and Trick that their plan of Bo pretending to go rouge was stupid. Dyson tries to tell Kenzi that Bo did well at that, but she doesn’t care because Bo has no one to protect her except Lauren. Hale defends Lauren saying that she can defend herself. Kenzi wonders if Lauren will “science people to death” as her way of helping Bo. Trick then says that Lauren is good in a crisis and Kenzi freaks out further as Dyson just shakes his head over what Trick said. Kenzi asks Hale again as the Ash to get Bo out of prison, Trick correcting her that Hale is the Acting Ash, not The Ash. Hale explains that the Amazons will not listen to him, Kenzi commenting: “Why? Because of your stupid penis?”

Hale and Trick explain that Hale needs to have some kind of show to prove he can be the Ash and using the investigation of the prison would do so in the eyes of the Elders. Kenzi starts to tell them both off but then is confused about the prison being built on “get laid lines.” Trick explains that they are Ley Lines and are there to remove the powers of any Fae that is in the prison. This only upsets Kenzi further, but Dyson reveals that Lauren gave Bo a sarsen stone which will protect her as long as she possesses it. When Hale explains further that the guards also carry these stones, Trick tells Hale to be careful what he says as anyone could be listening.

This confuses Hale who says that Trick told him the room they were using was impenetrable. Trick’s answer is that it was available and Hale wanted to be closer to the people so this is what he got for doing so. Kenzi then says the Dal was so secure that Al Capone couldn’t get in, and also mentions how stale the place is. Trick’s answer is to start talking to Kenzi in 1930’s slang which only drives her crazier still over the situation. Dyson calls Kenzi over and tells her that Bo has faced things worse than where she is and she can handle it. Kenzi pouts and whines that she misses Bo and Dyson tells Kenzi that he does as well before hugging her.

The scene then changes to find Bo on her hands and knees wearing very little as she is scrubbing a floor with a toothbrush with the Warden looking on making suggestive comments about Bo. A guard then arrives carrying a case and the Warden directs them to her office, entry using an eye scanner. Inside the office the case is opened revealing a container of some kind within it, the guard asking if the "subject" is ready, the Warden's answer is soon. When the guard questions the Warden about how long she will continue her plans, the Warden strikes out and warns the guard that disobeying her would be unwise. Bo then meets Sylvie and they walk through the general prison population, Sylvie pointing out certain prisoners that Bo should be aware of, one of them being Jobina who works in the infirmary with Lauren. Then Sylvie sees a prisoner being escorted by, telling Bo that she knows her, calling her Maeve, and that she thought she had made it outside. Bo asks if prisoner return often and Sylvie tells Bo they do, but she's planning to be the exception to the rule in three days when she gets out. She also tells Bo that the only way people leave Heckuba is in a body bag. One of the guards then grabs Sylvie by the air and begins to abuse her until Bo steps in and challenges the guard. At first the guard beats Bo, but then Bo turns the tables on her and feeds from her, which is something that shouldn't be possible in the prison and is seen by everyone that is watching the fight. Bo is pulled off by another guard and then is taken away to the Warden's office, but she never arrives there. Instead she is brought to the showers, sprayed by a fire hose and then the Warden searches her, eventually finding the stone on her that Lauren provided. After taking the stone, Bo attempts to use her powers on the Warden, but fails because the stone no longer is protecting her. She is then attacked by many guards and severely beaten.

After another commercial break, Bo is crawling on the floor injured from the beating and Lauren finds her. Lauren asks what happened and Bo tells her that she couldn't stand by and watch Sylvie being beaten. Lauren agrees saying, "That's not your style." Bo then tells Lauren that she wants Hale to get Lauren out before the Warden figures out that Lauren is the one helping her. Lauren refuses and shows Bo some files she found in a secret compartment in Dr. Evert's desk. The notes indicate that Dr. Evert had been injecting rare Fae prisoners with a "super vitamin cocktail." Lauren tells Bo that half of the prisoners she cannot track down and the other half reoffended and came back to prison completely broken. Lauren makes the point that the woman Sylvie knows, Maeve will not speak. Lauren comes to the conclusion that the injections must contain something that makes the prisoners more violent or more likely to commit crimes. but Lauren cannot understand why Dr. Every would do such a thing. Bo tells Lauren that not everything is black or white, there is also grey. Lauren then tells Bo that she wishes she could make a clear choice about one thing before saying that the smell she is wearing is jacking up her hormones. Bo then tells Lauren that she does get it and that Lauren deserves more. Lauren pushes that aside saying that she has to find out what happened to Dr. Evert. Bo replies that they have to move faster, and is told that Dyson is working through Hale to have medical supplies brought in. At Bo's comment that Dyson is good, Lauren's comment is that she could do better.

Dyson is at the police station as Vex enters and begins to talk loudly about Dyson working with humans and being undercover there. Dyson warns Vex that if he breaks his cover he will cut Vex's "balls off and sell them to a certain butcher we both know." Dyson looks at Vex who's arm is in a sling and wonders why The Morrigan doesn't want her broken little toy back. Vex replies what Dyson is going to do for a partner now that Hale is the acting Ash. When Dyson says that he works better alone, Vex reveals that he is aware of the prison case, that there is no record of any of the released prisoners reentering Fae society and that they just disappear. Then Dyson is told there is a call for him about a prison doctor as Vex leaves telling Dyson to put in a good word for him at the station. Plus, he has his own uniform already.

Bo returns to her cell, Sylvie already there waiting for her. Sylvie thanks Bo for taking the beating for her and tells Bo to keep low. Bo wishes her well on the outside and Sylvie tells her that whatever people say about her, she knows that Bo isn't all bad. Bo makes her promise never to return and Sylvie tells Bo that she is never coming back as she is taken away leaving Bo alone in the cell.

Kenzi is at the Dal Riata waiting as Dyson arrives carrying an envelope. Kenzi opens it and Dyson tells her that he wishes that he was going with her as protection. She asks Dyson how he is feeling and he tells Kenzi that he feels better and probably better than The Norn. He asks Kenzi what she did and all Kenzi tells him is that she did what she had to do. Kenzi asks him if he will ever tell Bo he has his love for her back and Dyson tells Kenzi he is still trying to figure that part out, Kenzi warns him that someone else might snap Bo up referring to Lauren, telling him to think about it.

The next scene has Kenzi arriving at the prison claiming to be Bo's human pet so that she can see her identifying herself as Kenzi Von Clare and looking very much like a hooker. When Bo sees her, the first thing she says is: "You wore your redneck wig." Kenzi's answer is: "and my monster truck thong. Go method or go home." She asks if anyone is buying Lauren being a doctor, Bo reminds her that Lauren is a doctor, and then Kenzi asks when Bo is coming home saying that she has to cut the crusts off her own sandwiches and that Vex says her Sponge Bob impression is weak. Bo can't help but laugh at this and tells Kenzi that she really is missing her and that she didn't really understand how much until that moment. Kenzi takes a piece of gum out of her mouth and sticks it to the bottom of the table they are at as Bo asks about the rash that Kenzi has, Kenzi claiming that she has and it will be fine. Then Kenzi crawls over the top of the table and kisses Bo deeply before the guards break the two of them up, Kenzi kicking and screaming as she is taken away. Bo remains at the table watching her go and then removes something from inside of her mouth and with a smile says: "Love you too Kenz."

Bo returns to scrubbing the floor of the Warden's office with a toothbrush in the next scene, a guard watching her as she does so. Bo tells the guard she is almost done and the guard leaves to check on something. After she leaves, Bo places a contact lens in one of her eyes and then goes to the Warden's door and places her eye against the scanner making the door open for her. Once inside, Bo searches for clues before noticing a large emblem on one wall of the prison's shield, discovering that it holds another eye scanner that is the trigger for a hidden door that leads to another room behind the Warden's office. Searching there, she discovers more of the containers seen earlier in the episode which were in the possession of the Warden. Beyond that is a door marked Solitary Confinement and Bo continues on to discover a hidden area in the prison where she discovers another container that has never been opened and a living space where to her surprise she finds Sylvie there. And she is in a very advanced stage of pregnancy.

Another commercial and Bo asks Sylvie what happened. She answers that she woke up with her "own apartment and a bun in the oven." When Bo tells Sylvie that they can't stay there, Sylvie says that she has to be good because she doesn't want to go back to prison. She also tells Bo that "they" are going to take away her baby and that they are "always watching" as she looks at a curtain. Bo goes over and opens it to discover that there is a nursery on the other side with many cameras there watching what it going on and Bo sighs with the comment: "Just when I think I have seen all things Fae" before Sylvie closes the curtain again. Sylvie asks Bo to promise her that she will not let them take her baby and Bo makes that promise guiding Sylvie to leave. When Sylvie asks what if they see them, Bo replies: "a giant pregnant lady and a succubus in a red jumpsuit? I doubt they'll ever notice." But as they try to leave, Sylvie's water breaks with a splash and Bo begins to panic as Sylvie goes into labour but realizes that she does have some help they can use.

Bo takes Sylvie to Lauren at the infirmary when she and Lauren learn that Sylvie is a Wamblee, which Lauren thought were extinct. Lauren then begins to remove all of her clothing explaining that the scent of the Skunk Ape she is wearing to hide herself, if the newborn smelled it, would make it blow up in size and that would likely cause Sylvie's death. As a result, Lauren strips off her clothing and washes to remove the scent. Bo tries to stop her, saying that it will reveal she is human, but Lauren tells Bo that she knows that Bo will protect her and she has to protect the child.

Dyson is still at the police station as Vex arrives with Kenzi in tow, Vex in a fetish policeman's costume, Kenzi just looking miffed. Kenzi tells Dyson that Hale wants a meeting about what's going on and then sees the pictures that Dyson was looking at. She discovers, thanks to Vex blurting it out, that they are images of the remains of Dr. Evert. Kenzi goes into a panic and rushes off with to see Hale with Dyson and Vex following in her wake.

Meanwhile, Lauren has changed and now is safe to deliver the baby, she is confused however in how Sylvie could be ready for birth in only a week and has no answer to why that is. When Lauren goes to help Sylvie, Sylvie is shocked that Lauren is human and Jobina just smiles saying that she knew Lauren was too pretty to be a Skunk Ape. Lauren then takes control of the situation, coaching Sylvie through the birth with Bo and Jobina assisting her. When Bo hesitates to hold the baby when it appears, Jobina tells Bo to "suck it up" and Bo helps Lauren to deliver Sylvie's baby which turns out to be a boy as Sylvie said it would be. As Bo and Lauren look at the child, Lauren tells Bo that she has always liked the name Ethan for a boy and Charlotte for a girl. Bo is shocked and asks Lauren: "You want babies?" Lauren's answer is: "Of course, don't you?" When Jobina asks for the mother to have a chance to hold the child, the Warden appears with the guards and demands that the child be turned over to her saying that it is her child.

Coming back from the commercial, Sylvie is strapped to her bed and something is injected into her knocking her out as she tells Lauren and Bo that they promised to protect her baby. Bo confronts the Warden saying that she has been breeding prisoners, the Warden replying that "the adoption market for rare Fae is quite lucrative." Bo puts the evidence together and comes to the conclusion that the canisters contained some kind of sperm that made Fae pregnant in less than a week. Lauren figures out that the sperm must be from a Lidérc, a Trickster Fae that can impregnate a host without detection and cause a birth to occur a short time later. The Warden continues the explanation saying that they wipe the memories of the Fae they use, convince them they have reoffended and place them back into the prison to be used again. The Warden gives the child to one of the guards and then explains that the Amazons go along with the plan because the Warden is their leader and Amazons are nothing without duty and honour. When Lauren attempts to use a phone to call out for help, the Warden strikes her with a shock rod which stops her. Lauren attempts to speak for the Ash, but the Warden dismisses her as human. Turning to Bo, the Warden says Bo is not Light Fae and as such she can sell Bo's baby to either side, Light or Dark and she won't lose the chance to breed a Succubus. Bo says she would rather side, and the Warden says: "You will. After you have spawned."

Kenzi storms into Hale's room at the Dal Raita demanding that he stop Bo's mission because of the pictures she has seen about what happened to Dr. Evert. Dyson explains that they have found the doctor's body and then Hale tells them that he received a call from the prison infirmary but thought it was a misdial as all he heard was someone yelling. Dyson and Kenzi leave to rescue Bo, Hale calls after them that he wishes he could be involved and Vex just says he is bored. Dyson tells Hale that he is the new Ash and he will be missed as he leaves. Vex expresses an urge to put on a fedora and dance the Charleston.

Bo, Lauren and Jobina are being led through the prison, the Warden gloating over how the guards are completely devoted to her. Jobina is placed in a cell as the Warden tells Bo that Lauren will be torn apart by the guards and then Bo will be killed as well as a warning to the other inmates. Jobina traps one of the guards and gives Bo a chance to fight back which she takes breaking free, disabling one guard and then getting close to the Warden. When she is pulled away, Bo declares to the Amazons that the Warden is, in fact, male. The Warden claims that Bo is lying, but, one of the Amazons discovers that she is, in fact, a he and the guards drag him away, the Warden screaming that his mother was an Amazon and that he was doing it for the babies.

Bo releases all of the prisoners and they follow the guards to see what happens to the Warden. Bo finds one of the gifts made for Dr. Evert by the prisoners, turns to Lauren and says that "it's time to go human lover." Lauren smiles and hopes that Hale got her message. Bo assures Lauren that help is on the way. Lauren is confused, Dr. Every must have known what the Warden would do to her, and she didn't leave. Bo's answer is that she didn't go for the same reason that Lauren didn't. Bo then tells Lauren that she was right about everything, and then the two embrace and share a heartfelt kiss. Bo tells Lauren that it is time that they give their relationship a real chance to work. Bo tells Lauren that "life is too short" and then Lauren kisses Bo deeply as Dyson and Kenzi arrive to see this happen. Dyson's comment is: "It's all over." Kenzi says that Bo looks "chipper." Dyson wistfully says: "She looks happy."

The final commercial brings Bo at the Dal Riata having a conversation with Trick. He tells Bo that it killed him not to give Bo sanctuary, Bo replies that was the plan after all "Gramps" and Trick tells Bo not to call him that because it makes him feel old. Kenzi asks where Lauren is, Bo says she's at home resting and Kenzi asks Trick if "that's what the kids are calling it today?" Bo looks at a message on her phone and reports that Sylvie and her baby made it to her mother's and they are going to name the child Beau, and then Bo shares pictures of the baby. Kenzi is shocked to see that it is a "bird boy", Trick tells Kenzi that they look better after their first molting. The talk turns to the Warden, who survived the wrath of the Amazons, Kenzi noting that he wanted to be like them. Hale enters the room and Kenzi calls out: "All Hale the New Ash!" Hale tells them that he pardoned all but the most violent prisoners and shut the prison down. He also says that it is the first time that he enjoyed being the Ash before walking away. Trick comments that Hale is the Acting Ash, Kenzi tells Trick that Hale is an acting Ash you can be proud of. Bo then tells Trick that she is off to see her girlfriend, and Trick gives his best wishes to both of them. He also asks Bo if she is really alright and she tells Trick that going through what she did in prison was a lot like what Aife went through, how her mother spent hundreds of years being used by the Dark Fae King in the same way that the Warden used his prisoners. Trick asks Bo to explain this and she tells him that her father was almost certainly Dark Fae, but what worries her is if her father was a monster, then what does that make her? Trick tells Bo that she is a lot of things, but she isn't a monster. Bo then gathers her things and leaves the Dal Riata.

The final scene of the episode shows Bo leaving the Dal Riata and walking down the alleyway which leads to it. A man, possibly Fae, is walking towards her and suddenly Bo growls like an animal, pins him to a wall and then drains Chi from him until he slumps to the ground unconscious. Bo then walks away, her eyes glowing and a evil smile upon her as the episode ends.

Questions in this Episode

• How did Hale become the acting Ash? Was this some kind of reward for his part in defeating the Garuda? Or was it connected to his being in second place when Lachlan won the contest to become The Ash?
• As Hale is the Ash now, what happens to his role in the police? Is he on sick leave or something?
• Why is Vex not with The Morrigan anymore? What happened? It is all because of the events leading up to the defeat of The Garuda or is something else going on?
• It is unclear if Bo is actually changing in personality or otherwise in this episode. Her actions at the beginning of the episode are described as role-playing. The events at the end of the episode make it clear that something is going on with her. What that may be is unclear.
• Bo and Lauren are a couple now, but what about Bo's need to feed sexually? What happens with Bo's relationship with Dyson? What happens when Lauren finds Bo with someone else? Lauren knows that Bo is a Succubus and understands what that means, but does she understand that fully?

Answers in this Episode

• Based on the comment that Bo's rampage had been going on for three weeks, it is likely that the events of the last episode happened shortly before this episode does. A little longer than three weeks, but how long is not clear.
• When Bo was checked into prison, her name was stated as being Bo Dennis. While this is her human name, and likely used for legal purposes, it is also possible that since the entire event was a set-up that this was used for convenience sake and it is not her true name.
• Fae prisons are built on top of ley lines which take away the power of any Fae that is within their walls save for those that possess a sarsen stone made of stone similar to that of Stonehenge.
• The prison is called Hecuba Prison, but this really does not have a connection to the myths of Amazons. It does have a connection to Greek mythology in name only.
• Amazons refer to this myth. In the Lost Girl universe they are very strong warrior Fae who are led by a Queen and in many cases operate the Fae prisons.
• A Skunk Ape is a hominid cryptid said to inhabit the Southern United States, from places such as North Carolina and Arkansas, although reports from Florida are most common. It is named for its appearance and for the unpleasant odor that is said to accompany it. According to the United States National Park Service, the Skunk Ape exists only as a local myth. Reports of the Skunk Ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. In the fall of 1974, numerous sightings were reported in suburban neighborhoods of Dade County, Florida, of a large, ugly-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs. In the Lost Girl universe, little is known of Skunk Apes save that, according to the events of this episode, that secretions from this kind of Fae have the capacity to make a human pass as Fae.
• It appears that Vex is at odds with The Morrigan at the time of this episode and is suffering from a broken arm at the beginning of the episode. He seeks to become Dyson's new partner as Hale is now the Ash.
• Kenzi uses the name Kenzi Von Clare to identify herself, but this is most likely another of her many false names in the series.
• One of the ongoing gags in the series is about toothbrushes. Bo uses one to scrub the floor in this episode.
• A Wanblee in Indian mythology is an eagle ('wamblee') which is the tangible representation of Wakan Tanka, the Great Bird of Thunder, who gives the sun's rays and is the manifestation of the Great Spirit, the supreme deity. In the Lost Girl universe, Wamblees are extremely rare North American Fae with highly-developed olfactory senses. If newborn Wamblees smell the essence of a Skunk Ape they would expand in size as a defence mechanism. Newborns have a resemblance to birds because of their plumage which remains until their first molting.
• A Lidérc is a supernatural being of Hungarian folklore. In the Lost Girl universe, a Lidérc is a Trickster Fae who can impregnate a host without detection. The mother bears their child a short time later.
• Sylvie names her son Beau.
• Lauren reveals that she has always liked the name Ethan for a boy and Charlotte for a girl.
• Bo and Lauren are now a couple and are going to try to make their relationship work.
• It is interesting to note that just before this episode aired, Anna Silk announced she was pregnant with her first child. Reports and interviews suggest that she will have a son.
