Plot
Short Summary
The Morrigan hires Bo to locate an artist that has been painting murals of the Dark Fae, specifically her, Vex, and a vampire that Vex killed earlier in the series all over the town. In doing so, Bo becomes involved in what appears to be a power struggle between the Morrigan and Vex. Bo finds the artist and returns him to the Morrigan, but things do not add up and Bo discovers that one of the Morrigan's assistants was attempting to kill both the Morrigan and Vex, taking power for herself. In the end, the plot is stopped when the assistant is confronted and kills herself. The Ash arrives at Bo's home and after threatening Kenzi, commands Lauren to return to him and in doing so oversteps his bounds. When Bo returns, she and Lauren become intimate, and Kenzi is faced with a repeat of what happened when Dyson and Bo first slept together. As a reward for her assistance, the Morrigan gives Bo a means to free Lauren, but in doing so, Bo discovers that Lauren has a girlfriend. At the end of the episode, Lauren is seen talking to her girlfriend, who is encased in a pod-like capsule in a laboratory somewhere.
