Plot
Short Summary
An old pack mate of Dyson, Cayden, arrives in town and asks for his help in tracking down a stolen Mongolian Death Worm. Dyson enlists the help of Bo and they discover that it will be sold in a Dark Fae auction. Cayden's arrival triggers memories of Dyson's past when he was part of a pack fighting for their King. This includes a long dead friend and his mate, Ciara, who he was attracted to, and the events that lead to Dyson's leaving the pack, including the moment when Dyson first met the Norn that took his love for Bo. Bo enters the auction and wins, but afterwards she and Dyson discover that the person running the auction was the partner of Cayden and are betrayed by him. Dyson and Cayden battle at the end of the episode, Cayden escapes and the worm is recovered along with Ciara who Dyson had been lead to believe had died. Lauren escapes the Ash and takes sanctuary in Bo's home when she is told that the Ash will be forcing all humans he owns to be in cages when not serving him. At the end of the episode, Lauren is with Bo, and Dyson is with Ciara.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) walking along a city street with Bo (Anna Silk) and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) walking behind him. He asks them what they want, to which Bo and Kenzi ask how can be know that they do want something? The answer is that when they are being quiet they are either scheming or Dyson is lucky, and he isn't that lucky. What they want is for Dyson to confirm that a missing person they are looking for might be dead by smelling a blood stained shirt. Dyson is somewhat peeved when Kenzi makes a joke that he is a policeman and his own police dog. Still he does tell them that the blood on the shirt is from a cow. Then Dyson turns to look into an alleyway and enters it. A moment later and he is attacked from behind by a man and the two begin to struggle. Eventually Bo sprays the two of them with a garden hose and the fight ends, with the attacker claiming that the two of them are friends and Dyson agreeing as they embrace.
After the opening credits, we return to see Dyson and Cayden at the Dal Riata with Trick (Richard Howland) talking to the pair as they drink and reminisce over the past together in various ways and at that point Dyson's friend introduces himself to Trick as Cayden (Graham Abby). Kenzi is standing nearby, overhears this and runs over to Bo to tell her. Bo is somewhat unimpressed as Kenzi had been walking by several times before and all she learned was Cayden's name. As they continue to watch, the two men arm wrestle with Trick refereeing, Dyson wins the contest and they continue to talk and drink.
Questions in this Episode
- Who was the King that Dyson served in the past?
- Why did Bo spray both Dyson and Cayden with water instead of pulling them apart at the beginning of the episode? If he was in danger, which he appeared to be, why didn't she attack Cayden?
- What exactly was the weapon that Cumberbatch used on Bo that injured her hand and how did it do so?
- Bo fed on Cayden to recover, but afterwards he didn't seem to be as drained as Dyson usually was when he helped Bo. Why?
- How exactly will the New Ash pay Bo back for her recovering the Death Worm? Is Bo going to add up many such events and then demand Lauren in payment for them?
- What really does happen to Velma after the Ash takes custody of her? Moreover, is the worm still in her or not? This is not made clear, but it can be inferred that it has been removed from her.
- Cayden escapes at the end of the episode, will he ever return?
- Bo and Lauren seem to be together. Was this planned by the Ash? Is the entire situation with Lauren a set up for something else to happen in the series?
- Dyson and Ciara also seem to be a couple at least for the moment. Is this permanent or a means, eventually, to break the Norn's spell on him?
Answers in this Episode
- There is a myth about Mongolian death worms. However they are described as being a bright red worm with a wide body that is 2 to 5 feet (0.6 to 1.5 m) long. It is not clear what the actual Fae creature looks like in the Lost Girl universe, but it seems to be able to inhabit human bodies and apparently cause no harm to its host.
- During the middle ages, Dyson was part of a pack of wolves that served Fae King of Ailech in battle against his enemies.
- The pack of shifters was called the Laignach Faelad. There is a story from Irish history about such a group of warriors that would fight for whomever would pay their price, that being the flesh of newborns. They would divide the payment among themselves, fall upon the flesh like wolves, and devour it raw. These men dressed in wolf skins and were tremendously brutal in battle, and thus were called half men and half wolf. The Laignach Faelad were followers of the bloodthirsty god Crom Cruach (the Bowed God of the Mounds), one of the oldest and most horrible of Irish deities. It is also said that these ancient warriors were the most powerful during the reign of king Tigernmas, who was also a follower of this god. You can read more about this legend here.
- Dyson had two pack mates he was close to, Cayden and Stefan. Stefan's wife was Ciara and Dyson was attracted to her and seems to have continued to be.
- Dyson originally met the Norn at this time when Stefan was ordered by their King on a mission. Dyson attempted to save his life by bargaining with the Norn, but the cost was to be the loss of his wolf which he refused. After he met Bo, he went to the same Norn again and sacrificed his love for Bo in order to save her in the Season one finale: Blood Lines
- The Ash treats all humans as things and not people, caging them when he has no use for them.
- Lauren bakes really well.
- Ciara is part Fairy and part Scuffock. What a Scuffock is, was not made clear, but she taught Dyson and the shifter pack he was with the art of war.
