Plot

Short Summary

Trick trains Bo to face her first challenge but she fails. A Lode Star tells Bo that she must return home to her human parents and settle her past with them. Bo finds her father has passed away and her mother is suffering from dementia. Bo discovers that an UnderFae, called Lady Polly by the locals, is killing off those in her home town that had released it in the past as they return for a cherry festival. Bo collects the remainder of her high school friends together to trap the UnderFae with the help of Kenzi in a well ending the threat. Bo speaks with her mother, apologizes to her, forgives her and manages to come to terms with her past at last. Bo passes the first test and discovers there is much more to come and she confronts Kenzi asking her why she went to see The Norn.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with Bo (Anna Silk) being taught by Trick (Richard Howland) in one of the lower rooms of the Dal Riata to pass the first of her challenges. It involves her passing through an archway to reach Trick who waits on the other side of it. Trick asks her to try again, and Bo does so, but as she reaches the archway, a force field of some kind violently throws her back from it. Trick asks what she did and Bo's answer is, in a very irritated tone: "Beg the invisible threshold to knock me on my ass obviously. Was I not supposed to?" Trick explains that most Fae have years to prepare for the rites of passage, but Bo has only days before she devolves "into something that I have to keep in a cage." Bo's retort is: "Haven't you always wanted a pet?" as she storms around Trick and begins to flip through a book nearby. Trick comments: "I see that impending doom hasn't effected your sense of humour." Bo continues to focus on the book and asks why the book doesn't tell how to pass the test. Trick explains that much is left to interpretation which only irritates Bo further. Trick tells Bo to "focus on the now" and Bo mimics his words and adds: "shift consciousness and achieve an effortless merging of effort and awareness" and Trick finishes the lesson by adding "to allow yourself to cross the threshold." Bo slumps in defeat and answers: "So, I'm on my own then." Trick can only shrug and say nothing in return. Bo takes a deep breath and then tries a mantra of: "Focusing. Shifting. Merging. And I Bo Dennis allow myself to pass." Bo then reaches out a hand which is repelled, her anger overcomes her, and she storms out of the room telling Trick that she needs a break and is going home.

Elsewhere, a couple is stranded on the side of a road with a flat tire. The two argue for a time, the woman complaining about being in the country with him, he explaining that they are there "for the best cherries in the world and I thought my fiancée would have liked to know where I grew up." They continue to argue until the woman walks out into a field looking for a place to relieve herself while he continues to fix the flat tire on their car, crawling underneath the car to try and break the tire loose. As he does so, the sun becomes blinding and a strange woman dressed in rags appears nearby. Winds whips around the area and the scene darkens before the jack holding up the car slips and it falls killing the man beneath it. The strange woman vanishes in a whirl of black smoke and the scene returns to normal again. The woman returns to the car to find her fiancé dead and screams in horror.
