Plot

Short Summary

Dyson asks Bo to go undercover as a therapist at a New Age clinic to investigate a rash of human suicides. Bo believes at first that a Suicide Fae working at the clinic is feeding on the victims, but after that Fae dies, Dyson goes undercover as a patient and falls victim to what is happening. It turns out that a Rakshasa in the form of a cat is responsible for the deaths. Bo being monogamous to Lauren is causing problems. Lauren is becoming weaker and Bo’s hunger is growing as she becomes unable to heal herself not having enough Chi to feed on until, after being injured severely, she is forced to feed from Dyson. Bo tells Lauren what happened, and Lauren tells Bo she can feed on others, but Bo cannot feed on Dyson. Kenzi tries to talk to the others about the rash she has and that it is getting worse, but no one listens and at the end of the episode she is pulled screaming by a force into darkness.

Detailed Summary

The episode begins with a long erotic scene between Bo (Anna Silk) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) in Bo's bedroom which ends with both Bo and Lauren collapsing onto the bed together gasping for breath, Bo telling Lauren that it was "epic." Lauren comments that after the night before she didn't think that she and Bo would do so again so soon. Bo promises Lauren that they can be together as often as she wants, but Lauren makes the comment that she "hasn't organized my swabs in a week and I have cultures growing out of control, and my control cultures have mutated and I have a delivery of formaldehyde arriving in thirty minutes." Bo's answer is that Lauren should say "formaldehyde" again as she kisses her. Lauren whines that she has a million things on her to do list, but Bo teasingly tells Lauren that she thought she was Lauren's to do list. Bo relents and tells Lauren that she "is released" before getting out of bed and starting her day. As Bo walks away, Lauren sits up, in obvious pain and extremely tired looking before she collapses back onto the bed again. Bo in the meantime is in the bathroom and finds a chocolate bar there which she begins to unwrap. However, she stumbles and almost falls to the floor knocking things over as she does which makes Lauren call out to Bo asking if everything it alright. Bo tells her everything is "amazing" as she opens the chocolate bar wrapping and devours it, a look of exhaustion and weariness upon her.

Elsewhere, on the roof of a building, a man wearing a Lloyd the Magnificent t-shirt (Stephan Sparks) is finishing tying a rope between two buildings as Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) arrive and ask what he is trying to do. Lloyd explains that his hero was a tight-rope walker and that his dream, since he was six, was to be a tight-rope walker as well. Tamsin is uninterested and pats Dyson on the back as she says: "Well, there you go, a man living his dream, can we go now?" before trying to walk away. Dyson asks Tamsin if she can "at least pretend to try" before he starts to try to talk Lloyd out of trying the stunt by asking if he can take some photos of him, which delays Lloyd for a time. As he takes the pictures, Dyson tells Tamsin that she is terrible at dealing with suicidal people to which Tamsin's answer is: "He wants to live out a crazy circus fantasy, let him." Dyson tells her that it is: "So typically dark of you" and then goes on to explain that there have been four previous "crazy human stunts pulled in the past week." When he asks if she can remember how the first three ended, Tamsin's answer is: "Crush, splat, Ka-boom." Dyson continues to take pictures and also reveals that at each of the deaths he smelled Fae which likely meant that a Fae was somehow involved or responsible of what happened to the humans. Tamsin is less than thrilled and tells Dyson she has a date in less than an hour and she'd like them to wrap things up as quickly as possible. She then tells Lloyd that what he is doing is stupid which makes Dyson tell Tamsin to step back and let him handle this. Dyson attempts to do so, but Lloyd tells Dyson that: "It is not the time for questions, it is the time to dream! It is the time to live!" Tamsin cheers this, which surprises Dyson. As a result he is unable to stop Lloyd from stepping onto the tight-rope and then falling to his death, falling into a car below which sets off the car alarm. Dyson looks at the scene from above as Tamsin walks over, pats him on the shoulder and tells him: "Yeah. You got this."

After the opening credits, we return to Bo's place as she scrambles around the kitchen looking for something to eat.

Questions in this Episode

• If Bo does not feed enough, besides the change in her personality and healing abilities, what else happens to her?
• Is there any long term damage from feeding only on Lauren?
• Has Lauren been injured in some way because of Bo feeding on her so much?
• Why won't anyone listen to Kenzi throughout this episode?
• What is happening to Kenzi? The rash is obviously extremely bad and the blood and injury should have been seen by someone.
• Why does Trick turn so nasty towards Kenzi when speaking with Hale about her? What happened to Trick's compassion with her?

Answers in this Episode

• When a Succubus does not feed enough, two obvious consequences of this are that their personality changes, becoming irritable and somewhat irrational. The other is that they seek out other sources of energy including chocolate and caffeine, which have little effect in controlling their hunger to feed.
• Eventually the Succubus will find a means to feed or it may mean their eventual death through being unable to heal themselves or replenish the Chi they have been using to live on.
• According to Lauren's comments, the shots that Bo had been receiving in order to control her needs are no longer working.
• As the need for feeding grows within a Succubus, their emotional drives become more and more sexually focused pushing rational thought aside in the search for a means to satisfy their need to feed.
• Kenzi's rash appears to be either altering her in some way or killing her. The damage is severe and getting worse in this episode.
