Plot
Short Summary
The Ash informs Bo that one of the most powerful Fae, The Glaive, might be making an alliance with The Garuda and he asks Bo to remove that threat, dead or alive. Bo attends a speech by The Glaive and discovers her to be a powerful charismatic telepathic Fae that Bo initially admires. However, Trick places doubt in Bo's mind. Bo meets with The Glaive, and tries to find out where she stands, but The Glaive senses that Bo is hiding something. The Glaive attempts to imprison Bo, but she escapes and captures The Glaive, bringing her to The Ash. Trick asks Hale to help gather information by spying on The Ash to find out what he knows. Hale visits The Ash and is asked by him to spy on Trick as well. Hale brings Trick and The Ash together and they begin to share information between them. Kenzi and Nate's relationship grows, Nate asking Kenzi to take it to the next level, meaning for them to become a real couple. Kenzi meets with Trick and he tells her that the coming fight with The Garuda is not her fight and she should live her own life. Trick tells Kenzi that Bo's love for Kenzi is a weakness and she must leave with Nate to remove that weakness as a threat to the coming fight. Kenzi tells Bo that as a result of all of the threats that they face, she cannot continue to lie to Nate or have him come to harm because of Bo's life. Bo tells Kenzi that she does not want her to remain with her and tells her to leave with Nate because she can't allow anything to happen to Kenzi when The Garuda comes. Kenzi tells Nate that they cannot be together any longer in order to protect him. She tells him that she doesn't love him in order to send him away, crushing Nate's heart and he leaves. Kenzi tells Bo what she did and that where she belongs is with Bo, and Bo tells her that she needs Kenzi more than ever. Lauren tries to figure out why Nadia is sick and discovers 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 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. Bo arrives and confronts Nadia, discovering that Nadia is possessed by The Garuda. When Nadia attacks Lauren, Bo is forced to kill Nadia.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) blindfolded in Bo's place and asking if Nate (Aaron Ashmore) is there or not. Nate answers her by kissing Kenzi and then draping a necklace around her neck which has a key attached to it. Kenzi asks if it is the key to Nate's heart, but he explains that Kenzi already has that. The key is to Nate's apartment which he wants her to have. Kenzi is somewhat confused as when she goes there, Nate is there and most of the time he doesn't lock the door anyway. Nate explains that it is a symbol of their relationship and that he wants them to take that relationship to the "next level." Kenzi realizes that means a key swap and giving Nate a key to the place that she and Bo share. Kenzi hesitates to do so explaining that Bo has a odd sex life and Nate agrees saying that he doesn't want to walk in on that again. Nate comments that it is a stupid idea. but Kenzi hugs him and tells him that it was a sweet idea.
Bo (Anna Silk) arrives to see The Ash (Vincent Walsh) who tells her that he believes that one of the highest ranking Light Fae officials might have been compromised by The Garuda. The Ash explains that his sources, that being the Paries, have told him that The Glaive is in negotiations with The Garuda to join forces. Bo tells The Ash that she knows The Glaive is important, but doesn't understand what she does. The Ash explains that she writes the laws, sees to it that they are enforced, and is responsible for keeping the peace. He also explains that if she signs an agreement that aligns the Light Fae with The Garuda, then the Fae would be at war once more and that would provide The Garuda with what it wants. The Ash charges Bo with a mission to neutralize The Glaive by either killing her or kidnapping her. Bo is shocked by this and tells The Ash that she will not kill. He tells her that this is only the beginning of the war and that her sense of right and wrong will be tested and asks her if he can count on her.

Questions in this Episode
- What did kill the Paries? It hasn't been explained to this point in the series, and if it was so important to find out that The Ash would imprison Lauren in order to find out, shouldn't it be explained?
- What proof is there that The Glaive actually was making an alliance with The Garuda?'
- How did Nadia become infected by The Garuda?
- Is it possible that The Garuda infected the villages that Lauren saved? Is it also possible that The Garuda could see the importance of Lauren and infected Nadia to have a means to harm Lauren at a critical point in the future?
- It has been noted in comments during the series that many Fae are becoming enraged. Is this from The Garuda infecting them somehow? How is that done?
- The Garuda feeds on anger, so the infection may be some kind of feeding mechanism that The Garuda uses.
- The Ash has killed an infected Fae in the episode Raging Fae. Is this the only means to stop The Garuda or is Lauren capable of figuring out a cure? Or has she, but no one realizes that they have one already?
