Plot

Short Summary

A runaway finds Bo and asks for help at first, but steals from Bo. When he is confronted, the runaway reveals that he is being hunted, and the hunter holds the runaway responsible for the death of his wife and child. The runaway is found to be a shifter like Dyson, and Dyson reveals that the runaway is his son, the hunter being a type of Fae that shifters had hunted in the past. When the truth is revealed and the hunter still intends to kill Dyson’s son, Dyson with the help of Vex, kills the hunter. Evony returns and it is revealed that she is funding Lauren’s clinic and is looking for Lauren to find a way to make her Fae once more. It is revealed that Evony has possession of a Fae creature that she calls a doomsday device which will be released if she dies and leaves it in Lauren’s hands to force her to work faster. Trick asks Dyson to team up with Vex to investigate three deaths and they discover a connection to the three bodies from the elevator crash which seems to indicate the existence of a Fae cult.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a series of short flashbacks from the previous episode which include: Bo telling Lauren that she has no sex drive, Lauren asking Dyson if there is any connection between the body that was in Lauren's lab and the other two bodies from the elevator crash. Elizabeth is then seen breaking out of the lab, followed by Lauren asking Dyson to train her in self-defence as he did Kenzi in the past. Tamsin is then seen "pulling the plug" on Bo to force Bo to reveal the truth she has been hiding, which is that she loses everyone in her life. Trick, Dyson and Lauren reassure Bo that she will never be alone.

The actual episode begins with Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) in Bo's bedroom with a man named Tad (Scott Cavalheiro), the pair under the covers and Tamsin telling Tad "Frank! That was a solid B plus." When Tad tries to correct Tamsin, she replies: "You're hilarious. I'm starving! I could really use some Chinese food." Bo (Anna Silk) then enters the room, carrying Chinese takeout, and Tamsin comments: "I love my roommate." Bo replies: "That's okay Tamsin, there's no need to grab our weapons and come right back to the pub, I can take down the mighty little Clurichaun all by myself really." Tamsin seems to be embarrassed about what happened and tells Bo that: "I was totally on my way back when I happened to bang into... Well I banged this guy." From the bed, Tad calls out his name and Tamsin shushes him to be quiet. Bo asks: "In my bed?" Tamsin replies: "Yeah that's weird right?" Seeing that Bo has takeout, Tamsin gleefully adds: "But this smells good!" When Tamsin makes for the takeout, Bo stops her when Tamsin asks: "But we share!" Bo answers: "Are you going to share?" Tamsin moves to the side, calling out: "Oh Frank... It is your lucky night because my succubus friend just got her mojo back and she's hornier than a monkey with eight dicks." Bo winces as she interrupts: "Or something feminine and sexy." Tamsin shrugs: "Whatever." then takes the takeout, telling Tad to "buckle up stud muffin" and then leaves Bo's bedroom with the food as Bo slinks towards Ted.

The scene then switches to a bus stop located beside a building, a bus waiting there, and a figure running towards the bus. A young man enters the bus and is told by the driver that the fare is $2.25. The young man then attempts to pawn a watch he has, calling it his grandfather's, in place of the fare. After some hemming and hawing, the driver agrees to take the watch. When the driver is asked when they are leaving he answers: "When I'm good and ready" and the young man walks further into the bus. Seeing a young women, the only other passenger, sitting nearby, he sits with her, which only makes her nervous and she moves away from him, noting: "You know there are a lot of seats that aren't taken." He agrees and adds: "Guess I was just taken by you" which makes her shake her head. He offers his hand and introduces himself as Mark (Luke Bilyk), she shakes and reveals her name is Margaret, then corrects her name to Maggie (Michelle Mylett). Mark then comments: "Let me guess. You're from a small town and you have a big family, a strict family, who didn't approve of your being pregnant so you are fleeing to the big city to raise the baby on your own." Maggie replies: "I've done so much thing." and then turns away from Mark. He tries to charm her back, explaining that he was "just joking" with her. Mark then states that she is a singer and when she asks how he knows, Mark explains that her name can only belong to a "famous singer." Maggie then tells her life story, mentioning a pitch pipe that her uncle gave her. When Mark asks to see it, Maggie hands it to him, but Mark drops it and when he leans down to pick it up, there is the sound of an arrow flying through the air and shattering a window in the bus. When Mark gets up he sees that Maggie has an arrow through her heart and she is dead, Mark then runs on his hands and knees towards the back of the bus as the scene ends.

Questions in this Episode

• Do Tamsin and Bo switch off who brings home dinner and who brings home "dinner"?
• Just how many watches does Mark have with him? Is that entire backpack he carries with him full of them or something?
• How long has Mark been running anyway?
• So Maggie was killed in the bus, but the last we saw of the bus driver he was still sitting at the front of the bus, seeming to read his paper. So, what happened to him? Was he killed? Did he call the police? There is a bit of an open ended question about this part of the episode. He wasn't hit by an arrow as there was one arrow heard and one piece of glass being broken.

Answers in this Episode

• A Clurichaun is an Irish fairy which resembles the leprechaun. Some folklorists describe the clurichaun as a night "form" of the leprechaun, who goes out to drink after finishing his daily chores. Others regard them as regional variations on the same creature. You can find out more about this myth here.
• The bus station scene was filmed at 325 Horner Avenue in Toronto which is a gas station. There is no bus stop on that property in reality. The bus was located to the side of the main building and was facing towards the gas pumps which can be seen at the beginning of the scene for an instant. You can see an image of the filming location here on the day of filming.
• Apparently, Bo and Tamsin share not just food but playtoys as well.
• Mike carries a lot of "watches that my Grandfather owned."
