Plot
Short Summary
Trick tells Bo about some odd events that are happening to animals in the city and that they are hiding because The Garuda is coming soon, but Trick has no idea where The Garuda is. Trick is attacked by a gang of Berserkers, sent by The Garuda, but they are repelled by Bo, Hale and Ciara. Trick figures out there is a mole in their midst and learns through the mole where The Garuda might be. Dyson returns from being away and explains that the Wolf spirit told him that he will kill The Garuda, but in truth it didn't explain exactly what he must do except in a riddle. Dyson tells Bo he must do this in order to have his love for her returned to him. The Ash calls Trick to a meeting where he tells Trick that his blood could stop what is happening and demands that he use it to write a new future, but Bo and Dyson manage to stop him from doing so. Ciara comes to Dyson and asks for one more night with him before the battle begins and he agrees, during which he learns from Ciara some truths about himself that he wasn't aware of. Bo returns to Lauren in the aftermath of killing Nadia and finds that Lauren is very cold 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 tells Lauren that she will support her. Trick meets with Hale and tells him that no matter the cost, he must bring Bo back to him alive after the coming battle is over. Bo, Dyson, Hale, Kenzi and Ciara go to confront The Garuda, but find themselves captured instead. The Garuda then taunts them all before striking Ciara down. Dyson sacrifices himself to allow the others to escape, falling to The Garuda's Beserkers. While this happens, The Garuda attacks The Ash and kills him while Trick watches, but Trick manages to force him away when The Garuda attempts to kill Trick. When Bo and Hale arrive, they learn that although The Ash is dead, his venom was taken by Lauren and they have a slim advantage now. Kenzi does not escape with Hale and Bo, and Bo searches for Kenzi. She finds that Kenzi went back to save Dyson. Dyson is alive, but close to death and Bo finally accepts that she is the one to face The Garuda for the lives of her friends and everyone else.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) arriving at Trick's (Richard Howland ) home in the Dal Riata. Trick tells Bo of several events involving animals in the city that concern him. An entire team of horses electrocuted themselves, bats flying out of their cave in the middle of the day, and every snake at the local zoo has vanished. Trick explains that the snakes are hiding because they can sense that The Garuda is close by and that it is only a matter of time before it strikes.
