Plot

Short Summary

Bo and Lauren attempt to find a way to satisfy Bo's needs which means looking for sexual partners at the Dal Riata. Kenzi's personality seems to change, becoming cold in how she deals with others and not acting like her normal self and she drives wedges between her friends lying to make them doubt each other. Dyson and Tamsin investigate a Fae murder and discover that Bo may be responsible as she was with that Fae previously. Bo investigates why humans are turning into puddles of goo after visiting an adult club that is owned by a Bacchus, They discover that a Manta, a huge octopus-like underFae is causing the deaths in connection with the Bacchus. Bo loses control, but Lauren manages to bring her back with some difficulty. Dyson decides to take the investigation of Bo further as the evidence seems to be pointing to her killing Fae and Lauren covering for Bo. Bo realizes that Kenzi isn't who she appears to be and demands to know where the real Kenzi is.

Detailed Summary

The episode begins with Lauren (Zoie Palmer) and Bo (Anna Silk) together at the bar of the Dal Riata and watching the Fae go by. Bo asks Lauren, "So, which of these jokers are going down?" Lauren replies, "Poor things, they have no idea what they are getting into." The first Fae Bo considers is, according to Lauren, a Hydra. When Bo says she sees only one head, Lauren's answer is: "Not that kind of head." Bo's reaction is to smile and just say: "Oh." Then Bo asks about a female Fae that enters the room and Lauren explains that: "It'll be a while before she blooms, she's taken a thousand year vow of chastity." Bo smiles and tells Lauren: "I can make her change her mind." Lauren tells Bo that she is an: "irresistible, unstoppable sex machine, and one that I wish I could keep up with." Bo's mood changes and she asks Lauren, very seriously, if what Bo is doing, trolling the Dal Riata for sex partners, is what she really wants. Before Lauren can answer, Trick (Richard Howland) arrives and asks the two what they are up to. Lauren tells Trick that she is working on "some new injections to curb Bo's hunger, she's developed a resistance to the old ones and since I can't keep up with her voracious sexual we're looking for someone who can... satisfy her requirements." Trick is taken somewhat aback by this and mumbles: "So... many... glasses... must... polish..." as he walks away. After Trick leaves, Lauren tries to explain to Bo that she is sure that what they are doing is the right thing. Lauren admits that: "Dating a Succubus is not without it's challenges. But the secret to any relationship is trust and understanding and compromise." Bo is speechless over Lauren's admission and tells Lauren that she is being "so mature about this" but again asks Lauren if she is really sure about what Bo will have to do. Lauren says she is only as long as Bo follows: "The one rule." Bo nods and replies: "No wolf. Got it." The conversation pauses and then a blond Fae enters the room, both Bo and Lauren turning and watching her as she goes by before they look at each other and say: "Her." As Trick walks by looking at the pair and polishing a glass, Bo smiles and says: "Game on." She shares a kiss with Lauren and then leaves, Lauren looking troubled as Bo does so.

The scene shifts to a man drinking in a kitchen and fretting over a gold key which is attached to a gold necklace. His wife enters the kitchen dressed in lingerie and asks him if everything is okay as he is back earlier than she expected. He makes excuses, saying that the conference he was at finished early and he decided to return home. He then pauses and tells his wife that she looks so nice, which makes her happy and she tells him that she is "trying something different." When she comes closer to him, his body begins to make some odd and troubling noises before he begins to convulse and shake. He attempts to tell her something, but before he can do so his body turns to green goo and collapses to the floor, spraying her with some of his remains as she screams in panic.

After the opening credits, Bo and the blonde Fae from the Dal Riata are in Bo's bedroom making out. As they do so, Bo's eyes turn colour several times as her hunger grows and she feeds on the Fae. At the same time, Lauren and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) are downstairs, Lauren working on some medical equipment and Kenzi surfing the internet, using several computers to do so, a bored expression on her as she does so. As Bo and her partner upstairs make all kinds of noise, Kenzi asks Lauren in a monotone voice: "Is this going to take long?" When Lauren asks what she means, Kenzi's answer is: "The bed antics. This keeps going like a Greatful Dead jam." Lauren's answer is: "Science takes time, keep calm and carry out experiments." Kenzi looks at Lauren pointedly and asks: "Does this mean you will be underfoot experimenting for quite some time?" Lauren tells her that when Bo is finished upstairs she'll take some samples and compare them with Bo's "baseline." Throughout all of Lauren's explanation, Kenzi frowns and seems to be disinterested in what Lauren is telling her until she finds something on one of her computers that excites her and she runs upstairs, Lauren following behind trying to stop her. Kenzi arrives in Bo's bedroom just as she beings to feed from the female Fae, clutching at her neck as she does so. Kenzi's arrival interrupts Bo and both she and the Fae cover themselves with pillows as Kenzi excitedly tells Bo that she has found a case for them to solve. Bo tells Kenzi that: "This is a conversation for a more non-naked time Kenzi." Lauren attempts to apologize at the same time, asking how the Fae woman is and making small talk. Kenzi presses on telling Bo that humans are turning into slime and "glooping on their loved ones." Kenzi presses Bo that she needs to go and help them, but Bo tells her that she "is kind of in the middle of something." Kenzi shrugs, tells Bo, "of course, you're right. Knocking bits is way more important than saving lives" before leaving a confused Bo and Lauren in her wake. Lauren then leaves Bo and the female Fae looking at each other in Bo's bedroom alone.

When Bo returns downstairs, Kenzi is still at her computers looking at the case she has found. She tells Bo that she has spent hours looking for people that could use their help and when Bo asks when she has started doing this sort of thing, Kenzi's answer is: "One of us has to keep an eye out. Evil never sleeps, even if we're having sleepovers." as she touch types on her keyboard. She then tells Bo that she has been: "IMing with this human lady" about her husband turning into a puddle of goo in front of her. Lauren agrees that it could mean the Fae are involved, but it could also be something else. When Kenzi adds that before the woman could call for help the "authorities" appeared and cleaned the place up which Lauren admits sounds like a group of Fae covering up what they did. When Bo tells Kenzi that she isn't sure what good she would be, Kenzi seems shocked and tells Bo: "What if other humans are in danger, don't you care about my kind?" When Bo attempts to explain that she needs some time, Kenzi turns her back on Bo saying: "Fine. I thought it was something we could do together. Bo and Kenzi to the rescue you know? I haven't seen that much of you lately." When Bo and Lauren look at each other Kenzi waves them off with the words: "Oh never mind. It's stupid" in a dramatic fashion. This makes Bo give in to Kenzi and she tells Kenzi that they will look into what happened. Lauren agrees to help and examine the crime scene for any evidence right away. When Bo asks if Lauren means right now, Lauren tells Bo that she and Kenzi will go on ahead while Bo "finishes up." What follows is Lauren trying to explain to Bo as she rushes upstairs that there is a cup for her to use as a sample, but cannot get the words out and Kenzi interrupts asking if Lauren wants to go and Lauren answers: "So much."

Kenzi and the wife of the dead man are seen next talking about what happened while Lauren looks for clues about what happened. Kenzi seems barely interested in what the woman is saying about her marriage and at one point says to the woman in a monotone voice: "I am so sorry for your loss." When the woman asks what Kenzi's show is called, her answer is: "Paranormal Hot Investigators" which makes Lauren pause and look at Kenzi in disbelief. As the woman asks when the cameras arrive there is the sound of a door opening and a woman rushes in calling out for the husband and asking why he isn't answering his phone. When the wife asks who she is, the woman answers her name is Delia (Brittany Grey) and she is the husband's lover and demands to know where he is. Kenzi answers: "Ah, he kicked the bucket." Delia claims this is impossible as she was just with him. The wife is shattered by this revelation. Delia seems to be proud that her husband was "emotionally attached to me" as she stalks into the room. She then demands to know what the wife did to her husband and Kenzi interrupts saying: "That's what we at Paranormal Hot Investigators are investigating. Delia ignores Kenzi and what follows is the two women blaming each other over what happened and pushing each other around a little bit before hair pulling begins to which Kenzi watches and smiles before Bo enters the room and breaks up the fight by using her powers to control both of the women. She then announces to everyone in the room: "Welcome to Bo's first two for one special." She then starts by forcing Delia to tell her everything about what's going on. Delia claims that they had been: "Together forever. Six months at least. We were soul mates." Bo's answer is an unimpressed: "Of course you were." Delia continues to explain that when the husband was away, he was with her. When Bo asks if there was anyone or any place they had been that was weird, Delia talks about a club they went to the night before and tells Bo where it is. Bo and Kenzi are next seen at what appears to be a greco-roman themed private adult club which has a large number of people milling about, many of them looking at Bo in desire as they go by. Bo purrs to Kenzi: "mmm... smorgasbord..."

Returning from commercial, Bo and Kenzi are looking around the club as various couple entwine themselves together. Bo comments that she: "haven't seen so many tasty buns since the Dal's bake off night." Bo's phone rings and she takes a call from Lauren which makes Kenzi roll her eyes in disappointment. Lauren tells Bo that the dead husband had been liquified by "a Far excretion" once it entered his body. Bo makes the connection that this likely happened through sex and Lauren agrees with this conclusion. Kenzi interrupts Bo's conversation pointing out one man that walks by and asking if Bo wants to nibble on him. Lauren continues explaining that the man could have infected his wife and his lover as well, so she is trying to create an antidote for them. As their conversation continues, Bo is distracted by what is going on around her and tells Lauren that the sexual energy where they are: "goes to eleven." After the call ends, Bo asks Kenzi about the voicemail Kenzi left on her phone the day before (in the previous episode Fae-de To Black). Kenzi makes the excuse that she found a "two for one sausage delio and I wanted to know if you wanted one. But you didn't pick up." Bo seems to take Kenzi's explanation at face value and shrugs it off. A man (Simon Northwood) interrupts and addresses Bo directly telling her that "Roman requests your presence." Bo goes to leave, but Kenzi asks for Bo's phone before she leaves, saying that she needs it because her phone is dead and Bo gives it to her before leaving with the man.

Elsewhere, Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) arrive at a crime scene. Dyson smells the body and tells Tamsin that the woman is Fae and had been dumped where the body had been found within the past few hours. The woman had been strangled. When Dyson moves her hair away from her face, it is apparent that this is the same Fae that had been with Bo earlier in the episode. Dyson catches a second scent, Bo's, on the body when leads Tamsin to believe that Bo is responsible for the Fae woman's death as well before they take the body to Lauren for an autopsy.

Questions in this Episode

• Lauren indicated that Bo has developed a resistance to the injections Lauren had been giving Bo. The problem with this statement is that in a previous episode, Lauren said that Bo didn't need the injections any more. So when did Bo go back on them?
• A clue that Kenzi is an impostor in this episode are the desktop images that are seen on two of the computers she is using. One shows a forest and the other shows some renaissance artworks. Neither of these are something that Kenzi has shown any interest in.
• Another is when Kenzi says that she has been instant messaging with "a human lady" which is, again, something that the real Kenzi would never say.
• Still another is Kenzi talking about "her kind" when referring to humans in general. This is a term that Kenzi has never used.
• For some reason, the impostor wants to be around Bo all of the time. Why is not made clear.
• Why is it that Kenzi's impostor is not noticed by the others? She is cold to Lauren, which is the opposite from what has happened recently. She reveals secrets about the others that she would have not done. There are many actions, expressions, and her overall different body language and demeanour that should have been picked up on, especially by Dyson. Which also begs the question of why didn't Dyson catch that Kenzi's scent was not right?
• Where is Kenzi and what has replaced her? The most likely possibility might be a Chameleon or similar mimicking Fae.
• Why was Kenzi targeted and for what purpose?
• Could the Morrigan be behind all of this?

Answers in this Episode

• According to Lauren, the injections Bo uses to curb her hunger no longer are effective. She is looking for a replacement.
• Kenzi seems to have been replaced by a being that sounds like her and attempts to mimic her personalty, but is not perfect at doing so. This creature, the kind unknown at this point in the series, acts to turn Bo's friends against each other and as well plant doubts in their minds about Bo herself. She also tries to turn Bo against her friends, but is found out by Bo when it is not affected by one of Kenzi's allergies, proving to Bo that this being is not the real Kenzi.
• Bo seems to almost become drunk when there is a massive amount of sexual energy or Chi around her.
