Lauren, formally known as Doctor Lauren Lewis, and previously being named Karen Beattie, was the name of a character that appeared in the Lost Girl television series who was the primary doctor to the Light Fae, served The Ash, and at one time was Bo's lover and girlfriend. She is human and is extremely knowledgable in the existence of the Fae and their world.

The role was played by the actress Zoie Palmer. Lauren has appeared in a total of nine First Season episodes, eighteen Second Season episodes, thirteen Third Season episodes and one Fourth Season episode. She first appeared in the series premiere It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where she first met Bo and became enamored by her. As the series progressed, her relationship with Bo became more involved until in the third season she and Bo became a couple. This relationship faced many hurdles but survived until Lauren broke off their relationship during the third season of the series.

It was also revealed through the second season that Lauren had a girlfriend named Nadia who was seemingly in a coma for an extended period of time. Bo discovered that in fact Nadia was under a curse and removed it, reuniting Lauren and Nadia. Bo was then forced to kill Nadia in self-defense when she was possessed by The Garuda at the end of the Second Season.

During the third season, it was revealed that Lauren's real name was Karen Beattie and she was wanted by the authorities for questioning over her actions in the past as a political protestor among other possible reasons. This drove Lauren from serving The Ash to joining with Doctor Isaac Taft in his plans to become Fae. Lauren was blamed for what were claimed by The Morrigan to be terrorist actions and she was isolated from the Fae, becoming a wanted human facing death if captured. Her final appearance was in the season finale of the third season, Those Who Wander. Lauren discovered that Aife, Bo's mother was alive and being held by Doctor Taft. She also discovered the lengths to which Doctor Taft would go to in order to complete his plans which included torture and mass killings of Fae. Lauren succeeded in making Doctor Taft Fae, but managed to trick him, allowing Dyson to eventually kill Doctor Taft.

She returned in the Fourth Season, her current whereabouts unknown and uncertain at the beginning of the season. It was revealed that she had taken on a false identity and was working as a waitress in a diner before having to run when she was discovered, but being kidnapped and held with Crystal, the waitress she befriended by persons unknown.

Character History

First Season

Lauren appeared in the series premiere episode It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where she was introduced as being the doctor to the Light Fae. No background information was given on her at that time, but the episode marked the first meeting between Lauren and Bo. Lauren examined Bo under the orders of The Ash and during the examination, Bo used her powers to obtain information and try to influence Lauren, but she was interrupted in doing so by Dyson. One of the questions that has not been examined over the course of the series was if Bo's use of her powers had a permanent influence on Lauren in some way with regards to her future relationship with Bo. However, as Lauren was aware that Bo was a Succubus, and as such she would have been aware of what Bo's powers were, it seems unlikely.

During Where There's a Will, There's a Fae, Lauren gave Bo an injection which was supposed to help Bo control her need to feed on others. As well, Lauren suggested to Bo that she join the Light Fae, but Bo was not inclined to do so. During this conversation, the first beginnings of a relationship between Lauren and Bo began to appear. Through the episode Faetal Attraction, Lauren's interest in Bo was noted by Kenzi, as well Lauren had to deal with a insane Harpy in her care who died after being questioned by Dyson.

Food for Thought showed Lauren acting in her role as doctor to the Light Fae when she went to the aid of a sick Aswang. The situation became worse when Kenzi ate some soup that made the Aswang ill and became gravely ill as well. With Bo's help, Lauren managed to discover the source of the illness which was a Basilisk being held captive in a medical facility and create a cure which saved Kenzi's life. It is conceivable that this episode marked the first indication of the future threat in Season Three of Doctor Isaac Taft and his desire for revenge against the Fae and becoming one himself. Also during this episode, Lauren and Bo have an encounter at the Dal Riata where they talk about Bo's powers and what she can see in others, Bo noting that she can see in Lauren curiosity, but not all of it scientific in nature.

In ArachnoFaebia, Lauren, Dyson and Bo had an uncomfortable moment together at the Dal Riata during which some sexual innuendos were passed among them, but it was very obvious that both Dyson and Lauren were uncomfortable with the other being there. This marked the beginning of the friction that developed over the series between the two over their relationship with Bo. Lauren also assisted Dyson in dealing with a Djieiene who caused paranoia in Kenzi, Bo and Hale. Lauren was responsible for locating the Djieiene's weakness and exploiting it to kill the Fae creature.

Vexed was a difficult moment in Lauren's relationship with Bo in that Lauren was ordered by The Ash to divert Bo's attention from Vex who Bo was focused on making pay for what he did to another Fae. Lauren and Bo have their first intimate moment in the series in this episode. Afterwards, Bo realized through Lauren's attempt at holding her back from seeking revenge, that the only reason Lauren shared a bed with her was because The Ash ordered Lauren to do so. This turned Bo against Lauren, shattering their relationship for a time.

During The Mourning After, the breakdown of Lauren's relationship with Bo continued with Bo moving closer to Dyson as a result. While Lauren met with Bo, their once warm relationship had become very formal and business-like, reverting to a doctor-patient relationship more than anything else. Lauren did attempt to apologize to Bo at one point, but Bo could not bring herself to forgive Lauren at that time. Lauren made a short appearence in Faetal Justice where she examined evidence that Dyson was responsible for the death of a Dark Fae. She encountered Bo again, but again was rebuffed by her over Lauren's actions for The Ash.

Lauren also appeared in the First Season finale Blood Lines where after Aife attacked Dyson, Bo visited Lauren to try and find out how to fight Succubi. Following this, Lauren asked Bo for time to explain to her why she did what she did to Bo in the past. Bo did agree to this and planned to see Lauren thereafter. However, after Aife attacked the Light Fae leadership and gravely injured The Ash, Lauren's focus turned to dealing with the disaster and the injured and dead in her lab. Lauren does tell Bo of the Koushang, a talisman which is proof against the power of Succubi and where she can find one in the storerooms of The Ash. Before Bo leaves to fight her mother, she and Lauren have a moment where they mend their relationship slightly, Following this, according to the episode, Lauren joined the survivors and the Noble Families in a secure place with Hale.

At the end of the first season, little was known about Lauren's background save that she was a human owned by The Ash. The reason for her being involved with the Fae had not been explained and would not be until the latter half of the Second Season. It had been made clear that she was a talented doctor and seemed to be extremely knowledgable about Fae. There were signs of Lauren and Bo's relationship starting to form, but it did not progress at any great speed until the Second and Third Seasons.

Second Season

During the Second Season, more of Lauren's background was revealed including that she had a girlfriend named Nadia who had been in an apparent coma for five years. Her relationship with Bo became closer but did have many stresses upon it including Bo having to kill Nadia in self-defence when Lauren was attacked. Cracks also began to appear with regards to Lauren being under the control of The Ash which would climax during the events of the Third Season.

Lauren appeared in the Second Season premiere Something Wicked This Fae Comes where she was seen trying to keep The Ash alive and help Trick with his injuries from the previous season finale. She also assisted Bo. Hale and Dyson in investigating the actions of a group of travelling Fae who were scheming against The Ash. Lauren had a pivotal role in

I Fought the Fae (And the Fae Won) where she had to deal with the coming of The New Ash and what that event would mean to her life and her relationship with Bo in the future. She also saved a Fae from being killed in a Stag Hunt by neutralizing a poison that would have killed her otherwise.

In Scream a Little Dream, Lauren's relationship with Bo suffered another setback when The New Ash severed their relationship and forbid them from seeing each other again without his permission and begins to put more and more pressure upon Lauren herself making her doubt her allegiance to The Ash and the Fae.

In BrotherFae of the Wolves Lauren sought sanctuary in Bo's home from The Ash when he proclaims that all humans he owns will be locked in their quarters when not serving him. As well Lauren helps Bo and Dyson to deal with locating a Mongolian Death Worm. At the end of this episode, Dyson was with Ciara and Lauren was with Bo their relationship beginning to mend and progress forward.

It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away contained major revelations about Lauren in that the first clue was given for her reason being connected to the Fae and The Ash in particular. The Ash appeared at Bo's home and after threatening Kenzi's life, demanded that Lauren return to serving him. Soon afterwards Lauren did so and was seen talking to what appeared to be her girlfriend, who was encased in a pod-like capsule in a laboratory, but was not named at that time, but would be revealed as being Nadia later in the season. The episode also marked where Lauren and Bo's relationship turned from simply platonic towards a deeper, more meaningful one that would find many stumbling blocks and issues going forwards.

In Fae Gone Wild more is revealed about Lauren's past and her girlfriend Nadia. Lauren was being watched constantly by others that worked for The Ash to make sure she was not overstepping her bounds. In spite of this, Trick asks Lauren about a problem with the Fae where many of them are falling into a blind rage and attacking others. At the end of the episode, Bo revealed to Lauren the gift that The Morrigan gave her in a previous episode. Bo tells Lauren that she knows about Nadia because The Morrigan told her. Lauren explains that Nadia has been in a coma for the past five years since they were in the Congo on a research grant. Five months into their excursion, a disease attacked nearby villages and Lauren went to help. In doing so she discovered the Fae as they were the only ones being killed by the disease. Nadia became the only human to be attacked by the disease, falling into a coma as believed from it. The Old Ash was present and offered Lauren assistance in finding a cure for Nadia, but at the price of her complete servitude to him. When they open the gift, they discover a strange object which, according to The Morrigan, was the answer to why Nadia had been in a coma for so long but neither Bo nor Lauren has any idea what it meant.

During Death Didn't Become Him, Bo and Lauren see a Lich to try and find out what The Morrigan's gift represents. However, Bo is forced by the Lich to make a choice, to die or to feed on Lauren so that he can experience what Bo feels when she does so. Bo refuses and seems to die from the wound she has suffered, but comes back to life and draws the Chi from everyone in the room save for Lauren, proving to be fatal to the Lich and those under his control. Bo speaks in a strange voice and declares that she can make everyone obey her, but then collapses and returns to normal. Afterwards, Lauren does not tell Bo what she saw Bo do or say. Before the Lich dies, he reveals that Nadia, is not suffering from a disease, but that she has been cursed and to save her they need to find the copy of the nail The Morrigan gave them to remove the curse.

During the events of Original Skin, Lauren's body was possessed by a criminal Fae who attempted to kill The Ash, but failed when Dyson, possessing Kenzi's body, stopped him. At the end of the episode, order was restored and Lauren was returned to her own body. Lauren tells Bo that while in Limbo, she saw her aunt Edna who gave her a recipe for cheesecake. But it was revealed that Lauren had a deep dark desire is to be rid of the Ash and this is what drove the criminal in Lauren's body to do so.

In Raging Fae, Lauren attempted to help Bo deal with a ghost from her past when she had to confront the sister of her human boyfriend that she had killed by accident. In doing so, their relationship strengthened once more, but there was still a distance between the two mainly over Lauren failing to reveal Nadia to Bo in the past.

During Can't See the Fae-Rest the strife between Lauren and The New Ash came to a head when she demanded The Ash help her to solve the mystery of Nadia's curse. When her request was refused, Lauren attempted to defy The Ash by not carrying out his orders which resulted in her being imprisoned in The Ash's compound.

Masks changed Lauren's life in many ways, not the least being that Bo, given information and assistance by The Ash managed to free Nadia from her curse thus reuniting Lauren with her girlfriend. While this ended, at least for a time, Bo's relationship with Lauren, it did bring Lauren happiness for a time at least. However, as Bo was told not to tell Lauren what happened, Lauren believed that The Ash ended the curse and returned herself to the Ash's control and pledged herself to him and the Fae once more.

During Barometz. Trick. Pressure., Lauren appeared only long enough to borrow Bo's car so that she and Nadia could leave on a road trip, promising to return at a later point. But she shocks Bo when she explains that the Ash saved Nadia and that she gave herself back to the Ash again as a result which draws Bo into a confrontation with The Ash that answers many questions.

School's Out gave hints that there was something wrong with the relationship between Nadia and Lauren. After returning from their trip, Lauren did not tell Nadia about the Fae or what she does. Nadia suspects that Lauren is keeping secrets from her and begins to try to figure out what they might be. She also becomes very possessive of Lauren when near Bo. As the episode progresses, Bo meets with Lauren on several occasions, but keeps her distance out of respect for Lauren and Nadia's relationship, but this does not stop the friction between Lauren and Nadia.

In The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire, Lauren and Nadia visit Bo at her home, and Nadia searches through Bo's home to find clues about what Bo's relationship with Lauren is. Bo confronts Nadia and tells her that she has nothing to worry about, but Nadia doesn't seem to believe Bo. At the end of the episode, Lauren finds Nadia cutting herself with a knife, but Nadia has no memory of doing so. As they embrace, Nadia's face changes as if she is possessed by something or someone but Lauren does not see this.

Truth and Consequences brought Nadia's arc to an end when Lauren tried to figure out why Nadia was sick and finds that the cure may well be the one she created for the Fae, but Nadia will not take the cure. Lauren is then attacked by Nadia and then Nadia attacks Kenzi as well. When Nadia returns to Lauren she says she no memory of what she has done but demands that Lauren tell her everything that she has been hiding from her, and Lauren does so, including telling her about the Fae, The Ash and Bo. Bo confronts Nadia and discovers that Nadia was possessed by The Garuda. When Nadia attacks Lauren, Bo is forced to kill Nadia, leaving her dying in Lauren's arms.

During Lachlan's Gambit, Bo returned to Lauren in the aftermath of killing Nadia and finds Lauren very cold towards her as a result of what Bo did. Bo and Lauren talk finally, Lauren asking Bo if she can spend the night with her, Lauren telling Bo that she wants to leave the Fae forever, and Bo telling Lauren that she will support her and that Lauren is always welcome in her home. Lauren however goes to help Lachlan to remove venom from his body before he was killed by The Garuda as a last ditch attempt to defeat it through Bo confronting it.

Through Into the Dark, Lauren had to attend the funeral of Lachlan and attempt to preserve the venom she collected from him as it begins to deteriorate. She also attempts to mend her relationship with Dyson as he grieves over the loss of Ciara. As well, Bo and Lauren's relationship is rekindled, the two admitting to each other that they do, in fact, care about and love each other.

In the Second Season finale Flesh and Blood, Lauren joined Bo, Dyson, Hale, Kenzi, Vex and Hale's sister Val to confront The Garuda and end its threat. Lauren helped Bo to complete her plan to defeat The Garuda by injecting everyone that would be facing it with Bo's blood to bind them to her. She tried to save Kenzi when she was gravely injured, managing to do so with the aid of Hale. In the end, the group defeats The Garuda after it possesses Trick with the venom that Lauren saved. At the end of the episode, Dyson suggests to Lauren that since it will take some time for a new Ash to be chosen, this would be a good time for her to escape the Fae, but she does not make a choice to do so, focusing her attention on regaining Bo and their relationship.

At the end of the second season, Lauren had regained her girlfriend Nadia, but then lost her when Bo was forced to kill her due to the actions of The Garuda. This event had lasting effects on Lauren and drove her towards making a better and stronger relationship with Bo. However, she also knew that Dyson held a relationship with Bo as well and this would cause strife between herself and Bo in the future. The actions of Lachlan placed some doubt in Lauren's mind about the world she lived in and would come to cause her to make a decision in the third season with lasting effects on her relationship with Bo and with the Fae in general. However, there were still secrets about Lauren that were not revealed that would change who and how she was seen by those that were her friends and the Fae in general.

Third Season

During the Third Season, Lauren's relationship with Bo became very intimate with her becoming Bo's girlfriend and lover for a time. However the cost of that relationship was physically and emotionally tolling upon herself and Bo which eventually caused Lauren to push Bo away for their own good. In doing so, Lauren was contacted by Doctor Isaac Taft who used her in his plan to become Fae. Through this event it was revealed that Lauren's real name was Karen Beattie, and she was a fugitive from the law. Lauren gave up her connection to the Light Fae which in conjunction with events around Hale being named The Ash. lead to Lauren being declared an enemy of the Fae by The Morrigan. Lauren would break her ties with Bo, discover that Bo's mother Aife was alive and was being held by Doctor Taft, and then vanish without a trace at the end of the season.

Lauren's first appearance in the Third Season was in the season premiere Caged Fae where she went undercover with Bo in a Fae prison for Hale who had become the Acting Ash. Lauren disguised the fact she was human by using the scent of a Skunk Ape to do so and this would come back later in the season as an important plot point. By the end of this episode, Bo explains to Lauren that it is time that they give their relationship a real chance to work and the two commit to each other, this having many consequences for the pair.

During SubterrFaenean Lauren and Bo's relationship continues to grow, the two becoming more and more intimate. There are side effects for both however in that Lauren is losing energy, and becoming lethargic and ill while Bo, now trying to be monogamous, is not healing from her injuries well as she is attempting to survive by feeding as little as possible on Lauren.

Through the episode ConFaegion, more of Lauren's past is revealed. While trying to mend her relationship with Kenzi, Lauren reveals that she went to Yale and was in Afghanistan for a time. She also hints at her own insecurities about Bo. She also attempted to help Vex with the loss of his powers, but did not succeed in doing so. Vex suggested to Lauren that she cannot keep her relationship with Bo because she is human which drove Lauren onwards with new purpose. Lauren also deals with a parasite which infected Bo, Dyson and Tamsin that The Morrigan planted on Vex in an attempt to remove Bo as a threat to her.

Fae-de To Black was a difficult moment in Lauren's relationship with Bo. Bo being monogamous to Lauren caused Lauren to become weaker and Bo’s hunger grew stronger while being unable to heal herself as Bo did not have enough Chi to feed on until, after being injured severely, she was forced to feed from Dyson. Bo told Lauren what happened, and Lauren told Bo she can feed on others, but made Bo promise her that she would never feed on Dyson again.

During Faes Wide Shut, Bo and Lauren attempted to find a way to satisfy Bo's needs by looking for sexual partners at the Dal Riata, Bo eventually taking a female Fae home with her to feed upon. That Fae was then found dead soon afterwards and Bo was accused of murder by Tamsin. Bo and Lauren investigated an adult club that was owned by a Bacchus and when Lauren is threatened, Bo lost control of herself, but Lauren manages to bring her back with some difficulty. Dyson continues the investigation of Bo being a murderer as the evidence seemed to point to her killing Fae and Lauren covering for Bo's actions.

The Kenzi Scale turned Bo against Lauren when she would not believe that Kenzi had been replaced by a Kitsune that was impersonating her. However after the Faux Kenzi is killed by Dyson, Lauren was the one to discover the truth. Lauren also discovered that Bo's biology was changing as well, which was the first indications of Bo approaching her Dawning. She was present when Trick explained to Bo what The Dawning meant to her, but Bo did not accept Lauren's apology for not believing her which left some strains on their relationship.

Lauren appeared briefly in There's Bo Place Like Home to provide a means for Bo to overcome the biological effects of The Dawning for a short period of time, but could not provide Bo with a cure. It also seemed that her relationship with Bo had improved from the previous episode there being less tension between the two.

Fae-ge Against The Machine marked the point in Bo and Lauren's relationship where it began to break down. It also marked the beginning of Lauren being involved with Doctor Isaac Taft and would drive Lauren's story for the balance of the season. Lauren won an award for her work and asked Bo to go with her to accept it. Bo was unable to do so as she was deeply involved in a game who's purpose was to give her access to The Dawning. Lauren instead went out with Doctor Isaac Taft when he arrived at Lauren's home with her award and they went out together, Bo arriving too late to do anything about it.

Lauren was present during The Ceremony when Bo faced her Dawning, giving permission for Dyson to accompany Bo and protect her. When they return Bo changes as she did in Season Two when Lauren’s life was threatened and took the Chi from everyone around her and used it to revive Dyson, Bo taking Chi from Lauren as well. In the aftermath of this, it was plain to by Lauren that Bo's love for Dyson was at least as strong as Bo's love for her.

During Delinquents, Bo, Kenzi and Dyson investigated a series of deaths in a troubled youth camp. Lauren suffers when the Fae's human mate attacked Lauren in revenge, but Bo managed to save her. Tamsin plants doubt in Lauren about Bo and as a result of this and the attack on her, Lauren tells Bo that they need a "break" in their relationship. This marked a major change in Lauren's life and was the source of much of her decisions going forward as she seemed to see that she could not have Bo in her life any longer.

Adventures In Fae-bysitting marked a major reveal about Lauren's past and forced her to make a choice about her loyalties. Doctor Isaac Taft pushed Lauren to leave The Ash and work for him instead, apparently not knowing that Lauren is the property of The Ash. Lauren initially refuses his offer, but events would change her mind. A confrontation with Hale, who is now The Acting Ash places doubt in her mind about what she is doing. Soon afterwards Doctor Taft reveals that he knows Lauren's past which includes that her real name is Karen Beattie and she wanted by the authorities. He offers Lauren what he calls a "fresh start" and by the end of the episode, Lauren makes her choice. She accepts Doctor Taft's offer and severs all of her ties with The Ash, breaks her contacts with all of her Fae friends including Bo and after removing the pendant she wears marking her as being owned by The Ash, leaves her life behind.

All of Lauren's choices came to haunt her in Hail, Hale when she was betrayed by Doctor Taft and as a result, was marked as a terrorist by the Fae and made to be a fugitive from them. Hale’s inauguration began but Dyson was kidnapped by a group of humans who used the same scent Lauren used to hide the fact she was human in an earlier episode in the season. This, along with Lauren's handwriting on vials containing compounds which incapacitated Dyson and killed another Fae allowed The Morrigan to discredit Hale because evidence indicated that Lauren was involved in the attack and she was missing, her whereabouts unknown. Through this, The Morrigan forced a vote which declared that all humans held by the Fae, or connected to the Fae, were terrorists, Lauren becoming an enemy of the Fae. Lauren discovered that she was deceived by Isaac who had been hunting Fae and experimenting on them for years. Lauren was imprisoned along with Dyson and they discover that Aife, Bo's mother, is also being held by Doctor Taft.

In the Third Season finale Those Who Wander, Lauren made several fateful decisions which completely broke her relationship with Bo, made her a fugitive from the Fae and left many questions about her future unresolved. Doctor Taft convinced Lauren to use Dyson’s stem cells to turn himself into a Wolf-Shifter, but only if Doctor Taft allowed Bo to go free. Lauren performed the operation on Dyson and Taft, the procedure seeming to be a success. However Lauren switched Dyson's stem cells for another Fae's, thus tricking Doctor Taft and allowing Dyson to kill him, ending his threat. Lauren however vanishes soon after, her whereabouts unknown.

At the end of the Third Season, Lauren was a fugitive from the Fae and human authorities, her whereabouts unknown and unclear. She seemed to have lost much of her reason to live, had lost her relationship with Bo and her future seemed to be very dark. One question that remained was what happened to the stem cells that Lauren took from Dyson and what that might mean for the Fourth Season of the series.

Fourth Season

Lauren's first appearance was in the premiere episode In Memoriam where she appeared at the end of the episode, having lost her memories of Bo as a result of persons unknown. She had changed her hair color to red and appeared to be working as a waitress somewhere, exact location unknown. She regained her memories of Bo through the actions of Kenzi and Dyson as the episode ended.

In Sleeping Beauty School, Lauren was still hiding out as a waitress in a diner, calling herself Amber. She had started to have a relationship with one of the other waitresses there, but was trying to resist doing so and at one point called Dyson telling him she wanted to return. However Dyson told Lauren it was unsafe and she needed to remain where she was. She had to save the life of a Fae when they were choking in the presence of the other waitress. Having no other choice, Lauren begged her to delete the video of the event in order to keep her from being discovered and after the video was deleted, she revealed her real name to the waitress.

During Lovers. Apart., Lauren stated to create a relationship with Crystal, one of the waitresses at the diner and at one point spent the night with her, the two becoming intimate during a drunken evening together. When Lauren returned to the diner the next day, someone had been calling there looking for Karen, Lauren's other name. She then ran but encountered Crystal again while hitchhiking which then resulted in her being kidnapped.

In Turn to Stone, Lauren found herself imprisoned with Crystal by unknown persons. Lauren revealed that she and her brother, who's name was not revealed, were responsible for the deaths of 11 persons when they placed a pipe bomb on an oil pipeline. This event was the catalyst for Lauren running and changing her name. After coming to terms with Crystal, who revealed that she had been paid to keep an eye on Lauren, Lauren was then told by persons unknown to discover why a Fae Elder was dying. After doing so, she demanded to know who was holding them and why, assuming it was Hale. However, upon their reveling themselves, Lauren saw that it was not Hale's doing, but who was responsible was still unknown.
