Plot

Short Summary

Bo has isolated herself from all of her friends and is with Rainer. Bo has a series of flashbacks of when she arrived on the Death Train and what happened while she was there. When Rainer and Bo met, they were at odds with one another. Rainer explained he was cursed because he attempted to end the divisions between Light and Dark Fae, but could not remember the circumstances. Bo found herself attracted to him and becomes intimate with him to the point where she agreed to help Rainer escape his curse, including setting all of the clues that Bo found to return to him. Kenzi in the meantime enlists Lauren and Dyson’s help to investigate a company when a Fae loses her legs there to unknown forces and hires them to solve the mystery. They discover that the company is run by a merman who appears to be threatened by his sister. In fact, the Fae that lost her legs is another of the merman’s sisters and they have found a means to walk on land that they did not share with the other sister. When Kenzi and Dyson are threatened, Lauren saves them. Bo and Rainer confront the Una Mens and state they intend to oppose them. The Una Mens in response intend to kill all of Bo’s family and friends, leaving her and Rainer to be killed last. Rainer and Bo combine their abilities and battle the Una Mens managing to kill them all. Trick approaches Bo this occurs asking her not to kill the Una Mens because all of their powers will be placed in the seed that Trick had possessed, but has since been stolen from him. The seed is then seen elsewhere in the possession of persons unknown.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a series of flashbacks to earlier episodes which include: Bo (Anna Silk) meeting Rainer, The Wanderer (Kyle Schmid) last episode on the Death Train and asking if he was The Wanderer. Trick (Richard Howland) exclaiming that he knows who The Wanderer is and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) in the midst of her flashback saying that Rainer's soul was hers. Bo is also shown telling her friends that "Not knowing is driving me crazy." Leviathan's prophesy that someone Bo loves will be dead soon is then shown before Bo and Rainer are shown clutching each other and then, the final moment of the previous episode is shown with Bo declaring Rainer has her "destiny."

The first scene of the episode is Bo leaning over her bathroom sink, the conversations that happened after Bo made her announcement to her friends that Rainer was her "destiny" running through her mind. We hear, in order: Lauren saying: "Did you just say destiny?" followed by Trick telling Rainer: "If you have something to settle, settle it with me, not my Granddaughter." Bo's voice is then heard shouting: "Did you not hear what I just said?" Kenzi then says: "He's brainwashed you." Bo then says in frustration: "Can you please trust me? Any of you?" Lauren asks: "What's going on", then Dyson says: "I'll take care of this." and his growl is heard clearly. Dyson's voice is heard: "Bo, get back!" Bo says: "No, all of you get back!" followed by Lauren calling out Trick's name. Then Bo raises her face to the mirror, showing it covered in blood and that she has been injured while Rainer walks up to Bo, he too covered in blood and tells her: "It had to be done. They didn't give us a choice" in a calm voice. Rainer then walks away leaving Bo still looking into her mirror and thinking about what she has done.

The scene then switches to an indoor swimming pool where a woman is talking on her cellphone as she paces beside it. She speaks about the amount of work she has been putting into the release of a new product for a company, slowly losing her cool and threatens the person on the phone if things are not done her way and when they seem to agree she ends the call and then enters the swimming pool. As she begins to swim, something follows her underneath the water which cannot be seen, but leaves ripples in the water as it chases after her. Before she can exit the pool on the far side, her body is pulled repeatedly back into the water but she manages to pull herself from whatever had hold of her and sits on the edge of the pool to find that her legs have been ripped from her body and she screams.

After the opening credits, Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) are seen at Dyson's home talking about what has happened with Bo since she returned with Rainer. Dyson is angry at himself for allowing Bo to return to the Death Train by herself, saying that he should have protected her. Lauren tells Dyson: "She doesn't want our protection Dyson, she doesn't even want to see us." Dyson tells Lauren that Bo isn't "thinking straight" and Lauren comments that it might be a possession or a spell, but she would need to examine Bo to know what exactly is going on. Dyson then decides to find Bo and bring her in, but Lauren reminds Dyson again that Bo "locked us out" and in anger Dyson shatters a beer bottle he was holding as Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) enters carrying a tray of coffee and comments: "Annnnnd we're breaking things. Giant coffees! Come and get them! Lauren wonders "who could possibly need that much caffeine" and Kenzi replies: "Us. We. We're taking a case." Lauren asks what Kenzi is talking about and Kenzi explains that a woman lost her legs swimming in her company pool. Lauren asks the company name, Kenzi replies "Alaria Tech Biometrics. Like, I Robot shit." Lauren explains to Kenzi that "Bo is our only case at the moment Kenz" but Kenzi answers: "Yeah, but Bo's made it quite clear that she wants us off her case. So she said she would talk to us tomorrow when she's ready. Tamsin's resting, recovering so I packed a weekend bag. We're going to give Bo some elbow room." Lauren asks how they can trust Rainer and Kenzi tells Lauren that they don't and that she is not happy about what has happened with Bo as she: "Has a new guy come along, drops her friends, classic suckage. We gotta trust our girl. Respect Bo's decision." As Kenzi finishes, the woman that lost her legs enters the room in a wheelchair and thanks Lauren, Dyson and Kenzi for helping her. Kenzi offers the coffee to Lauren and Dyson, adding: "Grab a coffee, don't be shy" and they do.

Elsewhere, Bo is at home sitting and thinking as Rainer enters the room wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. He asks Bo if she is alright and Bo replies: "I need to understand. What if this was a mistake? I want to trust you." Rainer replies: "I never imagined I would be on this physical plane again." Bo talks about having to go back "willingly" to the train to free Rainer and she notes that she did, also becoming Dark Fae for him as well, calling it "impossible" but is unsure about whatever they have just done in the here and now. Rainer tells Bo it was "Just as necessary" and then continues: "Kenzi, Dyson, Lauren and Trick... I'm sorry..." Bo interrupts: "Just need time. And so do I." Rainer suggests that Bo said when she remembered she would talk to them, but Bo replies that the time isn't right to do so, explaining: The memories are back, the feelings, but now that we're here in the real world. Together in my world. I need to understand. Really understand." Rainer then offers Bo his hand, which she does and the scene ends with the camera focusing on a group of candles which fades into Bo's arrival on the Death Train.

The flashbacks to the Train begin with Bo opening a door as she enters the train with the Wanderer song playing in the background. Bo looks at someone there and calls out: "You have harassed my friends. Stalked and kidnapped me. And you just blew up my favourite pub." Bo then pulls a knife and points it at Rainer, adding: "So let's get to it Wanderer." Rainer turns around to look at Bo and then sighs: "Be still my heart. Another brunette." He then kicks a nearby record player as he adds: "I'm so sick of this song." Bo asks who he is and is ignored as Rainer stops the record player and looks for another piece of music to play. As he does so, Bo rants about her arriving "via black smoke" and that she wants an explanation. Rainer replies: "Well sweetheart you've got two choices. You can stay and I can pretend to court you before I get bored with you and send you on your way. Two, you can get off at the next stop where you will forget everything." Rainer then places another record on the player and starts the record player again. Bo stops the player and tells him: "There's option three. You tell me why you kidnapped me." Rainer explains: "I don't know why you are here. Seriously I don't. Next question." Bo asks: "Why go through all of this trouble just to send me away?" Rainer answers: "If you wanted some epic battle, some battle of wits, some... sweeping romance you're on the wrong train. Nothing to see here, move it along." There is a long pause and then Rainer calls out: "Handmaiden" and the maid (Linzee Barclay) seen in previous episodes on the train appears. Rainer calls out to her: "Take ah..." and snaps his fingers at Bo who answers "Bo. My name is Bo." Rainer continues: "Take Bo to her chambers. She'll be getting off at the next stop if she knows what's good for her." He then ignores Bo and the handmaiden, instead having a drink.

Back with Lauren, Dyson and Kenzi, Lauren offers a glass of water to the woman (later named as Diana (Karen Cliche)), who refuses. Dyson comments that the woman's "scent is faint, but you are Fae." She claims to be an orphaned Pixie, raised by humans, calling it random and now having her legs taken is "inconvenient." Lauren comments: "That's one way to put it." Dyson suggests that where the crime happened would suggest that it was an "inside job" and asks about what the company the woman works for does. She tells Dyson: "I'm handed a product and I market it. How it's actually made is a mystery." She then suggests that someone named Darren Claire would be someone to investigate as he is the head of her company's product development, claiming he has secrets. She thanks them all again for their help and Kenzi replies that she appreciates the woman's "Tahiti sunset manicure" and noting that she is "a Tahiti sunrise girl myself." Kenzi then asks how they will get into the company and find out what happened. The woman explains that she has created two temporary positions in the company. Dyson suggests that he and Kenzi go undercover as he has been training Kenzi as a Shadow Thief. Kenzi comments: "Check your panties" and then pulls a pair from her pocket asking if anyone is missing some. Lauren grabs them from Kenzi and tells her that she "has to stop doing that" before walking away with them. Dyson looks at Lauren and tells her: "I did not teach her to do that." The woman suggests that Kenzi will "fit in" the mailroom, which makes Kenzi comment: "Offended. Moving on." The woman then turns to Dyson and tells him that he will be an efficiency consultant. She also warns that the building has a heat sensor security system and that if either of them get "flustered or nervous" that security will know. She gives them a means to monitor themselves however which should help them to "blend in."

The scene then switches to inside the company were Dyson is seen pushing a mail cart through the office, every woman in the office looking at him as he passes them by, and Kenzi is seen in an office wearing a flame red power suit. Kenzi comments: "Can you believe that Diana got our roles wrong?" Dyson comments "shocking" and Kenzi moans "What? I never get to wear a suit!" Dyson then tosses a package at Kenzi and comments: "Here's your mail working girl" before moving on through the office. Dyson winces and asks, seemingly to no one "What's that noise?" Lauren is then seen washing out a garbage bin at Dyson's place and explains: "Sorry! I was just eliminating some potentially harmful bacteria. You know e coli, salmonella, that kind of thing." Lauren asks what they see and Kenzi's answer is: "We're in a yogurt commercial" as she opens the mail that Dyson gave her. Dyson asks how the heat monitor is working and Kenzi replies: "Looks like I'm the hottest one around. I like this gadget." as she does so, a security guard walks past her door and looks in before continuing on. Dyson warns Kenzi to be calm otherwise security will be alerted before telling Kenzi that he is going to Darren Claire's office to deliver his mail. Dyson is stopped before he can enter the office by Darren's assistant Tad (Matthew Lemche) who demands the mail that Dyson is attempting to deliver. Dyson drops the mail and as he picks it off the floor places something on it before handing it to Tad. Tad asks: "Aren't you a little unkept for a corporate setting?" Dyson replies: "Aren't you a little nasal to be answering phones?" As Dyson walks away, Kenzi comments: "Ouch Dyson 1, Man Drescher zero." Dyson asks if the "heat bandage" he put on the mail will work and Lauren tells Dyson that it is. Kenzi attempts to leave her office to follow it, but she looks down the hallway to see the security guard that had been looking at her earlier loitering nearby. Lauren tells Kenzi that she needs to get into the air vents to follow the mail and Kenzi answers that she will use a camera her cousin gave her to distract the guard, but Dyson does not like the idea and instead grabs the guard and pulls him away, knocking him out before continuing on his mail run. Kenzi then tells them: "Okay, I'm getting my vent on, but if this goes Aliens, I am Sigourney Weavering out of there" as she looks at an overhead vent. Another vent is shown in a darkened room opening, Kenzi's legs dangling out before she drops her shoes to the floor and then follows them a moment later, moaning in pain as she drops to the floor. Lauren asks if Kenzi is alright and she replies: "That was way more graceful than it sounded I swear." Dyson asks what Kenzi sees and she answers: "Legs. Lots and lots of legs."

Returning from a commercial break, Kenzi looks around the room she is in which contains several chambers that have legs floating within them. There is a loud thump and Kenzi hides thinking that someone is there with her, but it turns out to be the mail being dropped down a chute and landing in a collection tray. Kenzi walks over to look at the pile of mail and removes one envelope and opens it. She comments that the envelope contains medical bills for Ted, Darren's assistant in the "six-figure" range. Lauren asks what he is being treated for, but Kenzi cannot pronounce the words and instead sends Lauren a picture. At the same time, Dyson has arrived at the pool where Diana lost her legs and is taking pictures of it as well. Lauren sees an odd plant in one of the pictures and asks Dyson to bring has a sample of it, commenting that it might be aquatic in nature. Dyson replies: "Flowers for my favourite doctor? Coming right up." Kenzi comments: "Okay... Playful banter between duelling ex's." Dyson dips his hand into the pool and tastes the water. He then comments: "This is a salt water pool." Opening a filter trap, he finds what appears to be a pearl which makes Kenzi call dibs on it, saying that if it isn't evidence she wants it.

Returning to Bo's flashbacks on the train, she is seen trying to open a window in the room she is in, but cannot do so. The Handmaiden enters and asks if she is interrupting but before she can continue, Bo attacks her, pressing a knife against the Handmaiden's throat and demands that she help Bo escape. The Handmaiden explains to Bo that the next stop is not for three days and that if she jumps from the train before then she will "evaporate" and if Bo leaves the train when it is stopped without an elemental to help her she will "get transcendental sickness" and die. When Bo pauses, the Handmaiden asks if she can help Bo "freshen up." Bo releases her and the Handmaiden places a gown on a nearby bed, telling Bo that it is in her size and she will look "ravishing." Bo replies that she isn't "into looking ravishing for someone that kidnapped me" and is told that she shouldn't "look at it that way" Bo calls Rainer "pathetic" but the Handmaiden insists that Rainer is "a great man" and that Bo should "give him a chance. Give us all a chance. Believe it or not we need you." She then hands Bo a card inviting her to dinner with The Wanderer and the Handmaiden tells Bo, for the first time, that The Wanderer's name is Rainer. She also adds as she leaves: "And you do look hungry."

Returning to Lauren, she is examining the pearl that Dyson found. Dyson asks why Lauren isn't doing her research at her "new Dark digs" and Lauren replies: "I wanted to be here with you guys close to all of the action." Lauren then asks: "Has Bo called pool boy?" and is told that she has not. Dyson asks Kenzi if Bo has called her and Kenzi replies that she has not, but they have to have faith in Bo. An employee attempts to get Kenzi's attention but she waves him off as she listens to what Lauren has found. Lauren declares that the pearl isn't a pearl, it is in fact a crystallized salt deposit. Dyson looks concerned and asks if Lauren said crystallized salt deposit to which Lauren asks: "Can that sentence be taken for some other sentence?" Dyson curses and then tells Kenzi to get out as fast as she can. Lauren asks what they are facing, asking if it is a flesh eater, Kenzi asking if it is Sharknado, but Dyson answers: "Worse. Mermaids." Kenzi looks shocked and surprised as she spins around in her chair and gasps: "Mermaids!"

After yet another commercial, Kenzi is seen talking to an employee who she has just fired. The employee (Todd Campbell) is shocked and confused, but Kenzi tossed him out of her office before she returns to talking with Dyson and Lauren, Kenzi being excited over there being mermaids nearby. Dyson attempts to tell Kenzi that mermaids are the "psychopaths of the sea" but Kenzi will not hear any of Dyson's warnings as she has been infatuated with mermaids since she was a child. Lauren also comments that mermaids are a "rare and fascinating species." Dyson tries again to explain to Kenzi that they are not like she thinks they are noting that mermaids would: "Blow up your ship on the way to the New World." Kenzi then asks Dyson if mermaids are so bad, then shouldn't they free the company of them and Lauren agrees with Kenzi. Dyson grudgingly agrees, but warns them that they must be careful as the mermaids could be anywhere which makes Kenzi smile and squeak happily.

Another of Bo's flashbacks then is shown where she arrives to have dinner with Rainer where Bo mentions to Rainer that his Handmaiden "likes to play matchmaker" to which he comments: "She's usually better at it. Other dates bother to dress up like in a fairy tale while you look like you're about to assassinate me." Bo tells Rainer that she is not looking for "Happily ever after" and that she "has that at home with my family, my friends. You know, the people you stole me from?" Rainer tells Bo: "Congratulations, but again, I didn't bring you here." Rainer then turns his attention to the dinner but when Bo uses his name and asks what he wants, Rainer looks back to Bo and comments: "The Handmaiden told you my name." When Bo attempt to touch Rainer and use her powers to make him tell her everything, he grabs her hand and forces Bo to her knees. Drawing a knife, Rainer places it at Bo's throat and warns her: "You think you could come in here and push me around? Act tough? Demand answers?" Bo answers, unafraid: "I keep barking until I get answers." Rainer tells Bo that she is "not going to change anything" before releasing her. Bo stands and her eyes glow for a moment which draws Rainer's attention and he stands to face Bo, asking if she is a Succubus. Rainer asks: "Tell me. What do the Dark Fae devour these days?" Bo stands her ground and answers: "I wouldn't know. I'm unaligned." Rainer is shocked by this, telling Bo it is impossible but she replies: "Impossible? Like a magical train that travels through other dimensions and kills you when you try to leave it?" Rainer turns away and calls out: "Really wish there was sauce" before returning to the table. Bo asks what kind of Fae Rainer is, wondering if he is some kind of Fae that wipes memories, but Rainer tells Bo that memory is not his power as he shows her The Wanderer card, which is two sided, the same image on both sides. He does not explain, only mentioning, vaguely, a "curse" and "we all have our burdens", Bo commenting that his is a "pain in my ass." He asks Bo to "please call me Rainer" and Bo replies: "Whoever you are. I'll be taking my dinner to go." Bo then picks up Rainer's meal and a glass of wine before leaving the dining car and Rainer behind.

Kenzi in the meantime is meeting with Tad for an "efficiency evaluation" and asks if he would like to take a walk with her. This turns out to be an embarrassing moment when it is revealed that Tad has no legs and is working from a wheel chair. Kenzi quickly recovers and she begins to talk to Tad who claims to be the most efficient person at the company and "in the spirit of efficiency, let's make this quick." Kenzi asks if Tad's disability has ever effected his work and after Tad and Kenzi trade some zingers at each other Kenzi asks what happened to him, Tad answering: "You have ten seconds and a violin?" Kenzi settles in with Tad and he tells Kenzi that in college he became sick with peripheral arterial disease and the only choice he had was to amputate or die. The bills were piling up, his parents were out of work but then Darren came into the picture who covered the expenses and gave Tad place to work. Tad tells Kenzi that Darren saved his life and "now it is my mission to protect him" adding that he will make sure that "nothing and no one gets in his way." Kenzi asks if Darren did anything illegal if Tad would protect him, Tad answering that Darren is "a genius" and "people would love to see him fall" adding that he "protects him from the crazies." Tad's phone then buzzes and he leaves for a meeting which leaves Kenzi a chance to search around his desk for clues, finding a "crazies" folder with many letters in it. Kenzi takes the folder as Lauren comments that all of the legs in the room Kenzi found are male and seem to be surgically removed unlike Diana's legs which were torn away. Lauren asks Kenzi to try to get a sample and Kenzi agrees to do so, going back into the vents.

Another of Bo's flashbacks occurs, Bo entering a compartment as Rainer plays some music on an organ. Bo greets him with: "By all means, let yourself in. Who needs privacy?" Bo asks Rainer if he can play something more cheerful and Rainer plays the first few notes of the song "The Final Countdown" which makes Bo roll her eyes. She sees a game on a table and comments that Rainer plays the game of Risk, and he replies: "I lost a long time ago." Bo adds: "Something tells me you aren't talking about a game." Rainer then reveals to Bo that his power was to have foresight in battle, the ability to see into the future and see the moves that his enemies were going to make against him and counter them. Rainer claims as well that he "put it to good use trying to end Light and Dark." Bo asks how Rainer would so this and he explains: "I have seen good people slaughtered in the name of what is supposedly right. Families torn apart forced to choose a side. Fighting against each other instead of with one another. Tyrannical rule was on the rise." Bo asks who's rule Rainer is speaking of, but Rainer does not answer this question, becoming angry and explains that he cannot remember why he is trapped on the train, who cursed him and who took his power from him. Bo seems to be overcome by this, calling it torture. Rainer tells Bo: "One can learn to live with or without almost anything." Bo replies: "That's not living." They look at each other as the train conductor calls out: "Last stop same as the last. Next stop same before next."

Kenzi in the meantime has returned to the room where the legs are stored and is attempting to open one of the containers. Checking her heat scanner she mentions to Dyson and Lauren that someone is approaching, but their heat signature is blue. Dyson tells Kenzi to leave immediately as whoever is coming is a likely a mermaid. As Kenzi begins to leave, a door opens and a man enters who gestures at Kenzi and she falls to the floor, water gushing out of her mouth and in pain. The man comments: "Climbing the corporate ladder is one thing, but crawling through the corporate vent is a dead end."

After still another commercial, the man stops attacking Kenzi and then as she recovered, he looks at the mail that Kenzi brought with her and comments: "Not only are you stealing my legs, you're stealing my mail too." When he asks where Kenzi took the letters, her first reaction is: "Merman? I have to say I'm a little disappointed" but when he threatens Kenzi, she replies "your assistant" meaning that this man is Darren (Brandon Firla). Darren sighs, saying that Tad never gave them to him and shows Kenzi a note which says "I'm coming for you" and he comments "he must have thought she was a stalker." Kenzi asks who Darren means and he explains that it is his sister. Looking into one of the letters he comments there are at least a dozen pearls there and it means that his sister is going to kill him. Kenzi suggests that Darren might deserve to be killed for stealing Diana's legs and this seems to shock and confuse Darren. Kenzi asks if it might have been Darren's sister and he replies: "Pretty sure. But she doesn't know how to attach them." Kenzi asks where Darren got his legs and he explains that his first set were from Tad and his "team created a tissue fusion system using stem cells." Darren tells Kenzi that he isn't safe and he needs to go to where Diana is. Kenzi asks how she can trust him and he replies: "Did you sign your donor card?" He goes on to explain that he didn't hurt anyone and all of the legs Kenzi sees were willingly given. Apparently Darren wanted to be part of the world of humans and the only way to do so is by using the method he had created to do so. There is a loud thud from behind Darren where the mail arrives in the room and when both Kenzi and Darren look to see what made the noise they see Diana's legs, in pieces, falling into a pile there. Darren tells Kenzi: "She's closer than I thought. I'm dead." But Kenzi tells him they can still escape. Darren tells Kenzi that his sister can hide in the pool water system and that she will "have to fish her out." Kenzi replies: "I know the best bait in town."

The scene shifts to the company pool where Lauren is seen walking towards the pool and preparing to go for a swim. Dyson is nearby and tells Lauren: "Just act natural. Go for a swim." Lauren tersely tells Dyson: "You go for a swim" before she enters the pool and wades to the middle of it before standing there and waiting. Nothing happens for some time and then Dyson spots a ripple in the water and calls out to Lauren who activates a device underneath the water which forces to the surface a mermaid who thrashes around until Dyson enters the pool and grabs the mermaid by her tail.

Another of Bo's flashbacks then is shown, Bo entering a compartment of the train while the Conductor calls out "two minute warning! Next station in two minutes!" Bo looks around the compartment and then approaches a glass bell which holds what appears to be a butterfly which does not move. Bo then has a flashback of her childhood where she is shown holding a butterfly in her hands and crying. Bo is then shown with a tear on her cheek before she opens the container and moves to touch the butterfly which suddenly comes to life as Rainer enters the compartment and sees this happen. The butterfly alights on Bo's finger and as she raises it to her eyes, Rainer asks Bo: "What did you do?" Bo explains: "When I was seven I uh..." but goes no further as Rainer takes Bo's hand and the butterfly begins to fly on its own around the compartment. Rainer looks into Bo's eyes and says: "It is... you." The pair move towards each other as if to kiss, but Rainer tells Bo she will miss her stop and she must leave. Bo is confused, replying: "But this... us..." Rainer then tells Bo to leave while she can but Bo refuses to do so. Rainer yells at Bo to leave, pushing her away and she leaves Rainer, he crying out in pain as Bo does so. Rainer then stares off into space for a moment before Bo returns to him, the two embracing and kissing. Bo asks: "What am I doing?" but they continue to kiss as the scene ends.

Questions in this Episode

• Why did Bo tell her long time friends to not contact her? What was the reason for doing so? It is Rainer using some kind of mind control on her?
• Tamsin is said to be elsewhere "recovering." Has Kenzi told anyone what she and Tamsin were doing or the warning that Tamsin gave her? Where is Tamsin if she isn't at Bo's place at this time?
• Dyson mentions that mermaids will "blow up your ship on the way to the New World." Did this happen to Dyson and Trick when they travelled there?
• If Rainer's power was foresight, how was he defeated?
• Just saying that Rainer has the power of foresight does not define what kind of Fae he is. What kind of Fae is he?
• Is it really possible that the butterfly that Bo had when she was seven is the same one that was on the Death Train?

Answers in this Episode

• The opening scene of Bo and Rainer, both being covered in blood was not in sequence with the rest of the episode's events. It actually falls between Bo and Rainer killing the Una Mens and Trick arriving to see Bo and asking her not to kill them.
• All of the scenes after the opening credits with Bo and Rainer are set after they attacked the Una Mens until the moment where they confronted the Uns Mens where time rolls back to just before the episode begins, then jumps forward to the current time frame when Bo and Trick meet.
• Bo has told her friends not to contact her and has had Rainer move in with her.
• Kenzi packed a weekend bag and has left Bo's place as well.
• Tamsin is somewhere else recovering.
• Rainer seems to be slightly cool towards Bo for most of the episode in the current timeframe.
• The discussion between Bo and Rainer throughout the episode referring to what they have done before it is revealed they killed the Una Mens, makes it appear they did harm to Bo's friends, but this was a red herring and there is no evidence that any of Bo's friends were harmed.
• When Bo met Rainer on the train, he was less than thrilled to meet her as he had seen untold numbers of women before Bo that could not free him from the train.
• Rainer claimed that he had no idea why Bo was kidnapped and brought to him.
• Kenzi claims to be "a Tahiti sunrise girl" when it comes to manicures.
• Apparently Dyson has been training Kenzi as a Shadow Thief, which is not explained, but Kenzi seems to be at least able to remove Lauren's panties without her knowing so.
• Dyson claims that he did not teach Kenzi how to steal panties.
• Kenzi mentions another of her cousins: Dimitri. He gave her a camera that doubles as a projector.
• Lauren decided to be with her friends rather than be with the Dark Fae to solve the case Kenzi took on.
• Dyson describes mermaids as the "psychopaths of the sea"
• Merfolk gain magic legs for a year to explore the world out of the sea, but then are expected to return to their community.
• When merfolk cry, their tears turn into spheres of salt deposits.
• The eighteenth sphere marks the point where one of the merfolk have suffered enough to take a life.
• Merfolk have a very low body temperature.
• Kenzi has an infatuation with mermaids.
• The game of Risk that Bo refers to seems to be a representation the past with two types of pieces, one black, one white, which likely represent Dark and Light Fae.
• Rainer's power is to have foresight in battle, the ability to see into the future and see the moves that his enemies were going to make against him and counter them.
• Rainer claims that he "put it to good use trying to end Light and Dark."
• Apparently when Bo was seven, she killed a butterfly which upset her greatly.
• While Bo was with Rainer on the train several things were revealed:

• Rainer could tell what was happening outside of the train to Bo's friends when she asked about them.
• When Kenzi and Dyson broke the compass in the first episode of the season, it effected Bo in that she no longer remembered Rainer, but her friends did remember her again.
• Bo came up with a plan to free Rainer from his curse which was very complicated and depended on many things going right in order for her to return to the Death Train willing and free him.
• The crows that served Rainer brought Ianka to preform for Bo and Rainer on the Death Train and it was at that point that Bo told ianka to seek her out.
• Bo and Rainer arranged for Huginn to be placed in the container and box that was addressed to her, the plan being that Huginn would bring Bo back to Rainer.
• Bo asked Rainer to sign her pledge to the Dark in order that she would do anything to find out why she signed such a thing which is completely against her nature.
• Bo wrongly assumed that she would be able to get out of the contact with the Dark at the time she came up with her plan, she still being Dark when she returned with Rainer and not, it appears, having that contract cancelled.
• Bo promised Rainer that if he turns out to be a monster, she will kill him.
