Plot

Short Summary

Bo opens the container of black smoke and a being named Huginn emerges who claims he can bring Bo back to the Death Train. Bo makes a deal and leaves with him to find his ex-wife and brother to seek revenge on them, but this turns out to be a lie and Bo is forced to escape to Hell. While there, Bo is forced to play a game of riddles with Leviathan in order to win her freedom, but is told that someone she loves will die soon. Bo returns to face Huginn and his brother and with the help of Dyson and Lauren, forces them to take her back to the Death Train. Trick goes to seek help to recover what he believes are important memories and in doing so reveals that he is responsible for many deaths over his life and that he also was responsible for writing Rainer, also known as The Wanderer, out of history and in doing so, created everything that is happening in the current time. Kenzi demands answers from Trick but when he refuses, she searches Trick’s lair with Tamsin and finds Trick’s book of blood and uses some of Trick’s blood to be able to read it. Tamsin has a vision of her past where it is revealed that Trick used Tamsin in order to remove Rainer from history, making him wander outside of time for eternity. Bo returns to the Death Train and confronts a man there who appears to be The Wanderer, the two fighting a short time before Bo seems to fall to his control. Bo then returns to her friends and with Rainer at her side, claims that he is not her enemy or her father, but rather is her destiny.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with some flashbacks to previous episodes which include: The Una Mens imprisoning Hale (K.C. Collins) for bringing Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) into their presence and Bo (Anna Silk) confronting Vex (Ksenia Solo) over her being Dark Fae, but he claiming to know nothing about that. Hale telling Kenzi that when he walks into a room, she is the only one he can think of while they share a kiss. A quick shot of Bo follows of her using the music box once owned by Ianka to try to unlock her memories and that is followed by the scene where Dyson and Bo discover the mark that was placed upon her by The Wanderer. This is followed by the Una Mens asking Trick (Richard Howland) why the Blood King was overthrown, the answer being he became corrupt and finally the last moments of the previous episode where Kenzi gave Bo the box that had been addressed to her and she is shown opening it to reveal the sealed bottle of black smoke which had been used to take her to The Wanderer previously.

The actual episode opens with the Death Train travelling through the darkness, destination unknown. The scene then moves to inside of the train where a man is seen wearing a welder's helmet and using an arc welder in an attempt to repair the train which seems to be falling apart. He pauses in his work and then a section of the train is ripped away revealing the darkness outside before he returns to his work. As the scene ends, the camera pans to the floor where the crown with Bo's name written inside of it can be seen.

Bo is then seen at the Dal Riata with Kenzi, Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried), Lauren (Zoie Palmer) and Trick. Trick asks Bo "What's this about?" and Bo replies "It's about time." Bo tells the others that she is Dark Fae, and that she was taken by The Wanderer, who Bo has no idea who he is or what he wants, or what happened when she was with him before and she doesn't like that she has no answers. Bo then explains that she will "get to the bottom of this once and for all", says thank you to Kenzi, and then opens the box with the bottle of black smoke in it and removes it. Trick asks if Bo is out of her mind, but she warns him to stay back. Kenzi asks: "Okay wait a minute Patty Hurst, is that not the same that took you from this shit hole in the first place?" Bo's retort is: "Kenz, it you have a hell shoe in your boot collection, now's the time." When Kenzi tries to approach Bo, Dyson stops her and tells Kenzi that it is Bo's decision to make and Lauren announces that she agrees with Dyson on this point. As Bo thanks them for their support, Dyson tells the other that they must stand with Bo and "face this Wanderer together." Bo attempts to say something, but Trick interrupts saying: "I feel like I'm in a room of children!" Bo yells over the discussion which is ignoring her but is not head as Trick continues: "She could be taken again. Lost. We might not get her back this time!" Bo again tries to speak, but is again ignored as Lauren states: "She could also open that jar and..." But, before Lauren can finish her sentence, Kenzi grabs the jar away from Bo and moves away with it. Bo demands that Kenzi give the bottle back, but she refuses saying that she will not allow Bo to be taken again and tries to run away but Bo takes hold of her, pulling the bottle away and catching it before it shatters on the floor. Bo then confronts the others, telling them that not knowing the truth is "driving me crazy" and she opens the bottle, exclaiming: "This has to end now!" Trick arms himself with a broken mop handle and Kenzi takes a fork, commenting: "Oh what the hell" while Dyson and Lauren stand behind them both. Bo then opens the bottle and the black smoke slowly rises from it A tendril of the smoke touches Trick which makes him groan in pain before it moves away behind where Bo is standing and then forms into a man, dressed in black. Bo asks: "Friend or foe pal?" and the man replies: "By the look of you lot, I'd say you were betting on foe."

Following the opening credits, the man introduces himself as Huginn (Jonathan Watton) and he adds that he is "the humble servant of The Wanderer and for the time being I mean you no harm." Huginn surveys the group and then calls Kenzi a "pretty little thing" and Kenzi thanks him for doing so. Huginn then goes on to explain that he is The Wanderer's "thought" and goes from plane to plane gathering information for him about certain women. Bo states that she believes they have met and Huginn tells Bo that he and his brother Muninn were responsible for taking her away to The Wanderer as he describes it: "Brought to her father's train, so it was written so it was said." Bo questions Huginn's use of the word father and he claims that The Wanderer is a "great man and a father to many." Trick asks why The Wanderer does not show himself, instead hiding behind lies and "cheap theatrics" and Huginn replies: "I really don't know. Perhaps you can tell me why the Blood King has to hide behind the bar of a local watering hole?" Trick answers that he has no idea what Huginn is talking about and Huginn tells Trick his "poker face is lousy. But then again it always was." Bo then interrupts and tells Huginn that she needs to return to the Death Train but Huginn insists that he has no idea where the train is because he had been locked away in the bottle the moment that Bo arrived on the train the first time by his brother. When Bo asks why, Huginn explains that his brother wanted Huginn's wife and that was why he was imprisoned. Bo again demands to be taken to the train but Huginn's answer is that he will only do so if Bo helps him take revenge on his brother and ex-wife and in doing so his brother Muninn would know where the train is. Bo agrees to this but before they can leave, both Dyson and Lauren approach Bo, intending to join her. Huginn refuses, willing only to take Bo with him and no one else. Lauren refuses to back down and Huginn threatens to leave but Bo turns to Lauren and Dyson, telling them that she loves them both but she needs to "do this alone." Bo then returns to Huginn, who tells Bo that if she is an enemy of The Wanderer he will "flay you to his liking" before he and Bo disappear in a cloud of black smoke. Moments after they do so, Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) arrives and asks what she has missed.

The scene switches to Dyson who is at his home, looking through a locker and removing a weapon and checking it. Lauren walks into the room and he asks: "What took you so long?" Lauren tells Dyson she was "getting her science stuff" and reveals under the jacket she is wearing a series of vials and needles that are hidden there. She tells Dyson: "You've got your weapons and your Wolf, I've got my brains... Let's go get our girl" and adding: "I'm ready to kick some crow ass." Dyson hands Lauren a knife, telling her: "I know you have your brains and your science, but it would make me feel better if you also had a knife." There is a pause, then Lauren says: "Thank you Dyson" and he replies: "You're welcome Doctor Lewis." A look is shared and then Dyson adds: "You know, I'm not sure I could either." When Lauren asks what he means, Dyson answers: "Choose." Lauren smiles and replies: "I could" and they share a laugh before they leave to find where Bo has been taken.

The scene then moves to Trick who is in his lair seemingly suffering from a headache as Kenzi and Tamsin enter and Tamsin asks Trick why he was so upset about Huginn. Trick tries to brush off the question, saying he has no idea what Kenzi is talking about, but Tamsin comments that they don't believe him. Trick reminds Tamsin that she once worked for The Wanderer, which makes Kenzi defend Tamsin but Trick then attempts to leave. When Kenzi tries to stop him, reminding Trick that he is their "Trickopedia" he tells Kenzi he "does not have time for this" and tries again to leave. Kenzi then confronts Trick about his not helping Bo at all since she was taken by The Wanderer and pleads for "the old Trick that knows things and wants to help people." Trick becomes angry and yells: "I don't have time to explain myself to a human and a low life!" Both Kenzi and Tamsin are shocked by Trick's words into silence and then he apologizes, asking them to "leave it be, I'm begging you" and then leaving the two behind as he leaves his lair. After Trick leaves, Kenzi comments: "He's really hiding something isn't he?" When Tamsin agrees, Kenzi tells her they have only one choice. Tamsin asks: "Take a dump in his bed?" but Kenzi tells her that they are going to snoop around Trick's lair and see what they can find out on their own.

Questions in this Episode

• It seems like the friendship between Bo and her friends is becoming strained. Is this an effect of The Wanderer in some way?
• Kenzi referred to the Dal Raita at the beginning of the episode as a "shit hole" something she has never said about it before knowing Trick's feelings about it. Why did she do so?
• We are told the names of Huginn and Muninn but not that of Huginn's wife or of the other Crows save what they represent in a rhyme that both Huginn and Bo recite when they appear. What are their names?
• It seems that Trick's attempts to hide that he is the Blood King are unravelling as the series continues. What is the result of this? It is clear that as the Blood King he is a wanted man, so where does that lead to?
• Is it possible that Rainer, The Wanderer, is the Lost Girl universe's representation of Odin? The appearance of Huginn and Muninn seem to point things further towards that conclusion.
• Just how many children is Rainer responsible for?
• Who are those children? Are there many attempts all over the world trying to "create" Bo?
• It appears that as soon as Huginn left with Bo, Dyson was aware that Bo had not been taken to the Train as she expected. How did that work exactly? Moreover, how is it possible that Dyson could track Bo from such a distance away?
• It appears that Trick is under a lot of pressure within himself from how he reacted to being questioned by Kenzi and Tamsin. Is this a sign that the Blood King and the personality that goes with that role is returning?

Answers in this Episode

• Bo at the beginning of the episode has made the decision to find The Wanderer and confront them over what they want with her.
• Huginn and Muninn in the Lost Girl universe are a pair of Fae Crows that serve The Wanderer along with several others. They have the power to bring others to The Wanderer among other things such as information and items he may need. In Norse mythology, Huginn (from Old Norse "thought") and Muninn (Old Norse "memory" or "mind") are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world, Midgard, and bring information to the god Odin. You can find out more about this legend here.
• Huginn and his brother Muninn were responsible for taking Bo away to The Wanderer at the end of the Third Season.
