Plot
Short Summary
Bo becomes aware of an underground illegal fighting ring in which Fae battle Fae and one human that appears to be superpowered. She manages to get involved with the ring in order to try to shut it down and find out how the human is winning fights against the Fae. Mal, the sister of the first person Bo killed, arrives in town on a mission to take her revenge on Bo. She meets with Kenzi and tells her of what happened at that time and how finding Bo has become her life. To try and turn her off Bo's trail, Kenzi involves Hale in trying to protect Bo, but doing so, she reveals the connections Bo has with Dyson and Hale when Bo is seen talking with Dyson in the police station. Bo tells Kenzi of what happened in the past, what happened when her parents told her the truth, and why she has to run now, and why she will be running all of her life. Bo enters the ring in order to give Dyson a chance to gather the evidence they need, but her guilt over her past gets in the way of her defending herself and she loses her match. After the fight, Bo's guilt over what happened tears her apart, and she starts to break off her relationships one by one. When Dyson takes the evidence of the underground fighting ring to the Ash for action, the Ash refuses to do anything about it and dismisses him. In the end, it is revealed that the source of the drug is coming from the son of the human fighter and with his help, Bo manages to save his father. Bo comes to realize that she was wrong to turn her friends away and gains them back, and comes to the decision that she must talk to Mal, but Hale covers for Bo and Bo is forgiven through the cover story that Hale has told Mal which is that Bo saw a murderer that actually killed her brother. When Bo confronts Hale about this, it is revealed that Trick asked him to do so and Bo reveals to Trick the vision from the Nain Rouge of her killing him.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins in a container port, a limousine rocking back and forth with loud moans and screams coming from within it. Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) is standing outside, engrossed with her conversation and ignoring the sounds and rocking of the limousine behind her. She then turns around and yells a question to the people in the limousine and Bo (Anna Silk) appears out of the sunroof, and appears to have scratch marks on her face and tells Kenzi that she can't check her day-timer at the moment before dropping back inside. Kenzi finishes her conversation and Bo then appears, fully healed. The pair walk away, Bo commenting that they need to keep the limo service on speed dial and that she will never jump from a third story window again. Kenzi asks why Bo is avoiding Trick (Richard Howland) and Bo's answer is that she had a vision of killing him to Kenzi's surprise. (This happened in the previous episode Original Skin) Bo explains that the Nain Rouge gave her a vision of the event and that she is avoiding him so that it doesn't happen and so that she doesn't have to tell him about it. Then Bo's phone rings and she takes a call from Lauren, which then has both women running for Bo's car. As they get in, multiple pictures are taken of Bo and Kenzi by a woman in a car hidden from their view. As they drive away, the woman comments: "Found you." Bo and Kezni then arrive in a junk yard where Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is waiting for them. She leads them to an Ogre named Oscar (Noah Danby) who is a mixed martial arts fighter, and has been severely beaten. When Bo asks what kind of Fae did this to him, his answer is that it wasn't a Fae, it was a human.
Returning from the opening credits, Lauren is examining Oscar and is concerned that he may have internal bleeding and damage. As the conversation continues, Oscar explains that he was involved with illegal underground fights that are run by someone named Ferraro who operates them. The fights are held in front of what he calls a "live Fae audience" to which Kenzi asks about a "dead Fae audience" and Bo tells her that she will not be dealing with zombies again. Oscar clarifies the fights explaining that there is a website that viewers can watch the fights on and that there is high-stakes betting involved as well, making it a very profitable business for Ferraro. It turns out that Ferraro is Light Fae and is also described as a pillar of the community as well by Oscar. The fights themselves are human versus human, but one human has worn many fights in a row and as a result Ferraro brought Oscar into the ring in order to defeat him, but Oscar failed to do so. Bo is disgusted by what she calls a "human cock fighting ring" and pledges to shut it down.
The next scene has Bo at the Dal talking to Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) who does not believe that a human could cause as much damage to Oscar as Bo describes to him. Dyson also cannot believe that Ferraro is doing the things that Bo has described as he is completely clean as far as Dyson is concerned. He also tells Bo that if he is running such a fight, that would only mean a slap on the wrist as it is a minor crime to the Fae. However, if Ferraro is giving Fae powers to humans, then that is a serious crime. Dyson tells Bo that he needs seriously hard evidence to do anything and Bo tells him that she will get it.
Meanwhile, at Bo's home, Kenzi is on her way out to meet Bo when she opens the door and finds the woman that was taking pictures of her and Bo earlier in the episode. The woman shows Kenzi a very old photograph that seems to be of Bo when she was younger and asks if she knows her. The woman tells Kenzi that Bo's name is Beth and she is looking for her. When Kenzi asks her what this is all about, the woman tells Kenzi that she is a hunter and that Bo is a monster.
At Ferraro's Gym, Ferraro (Joe Pingue) is talking on his phone to someone about a charity event he is involved with. As he does so, he watches a boxer in the ring named Mike (Tim Campbell) and encourages him to continue to train. Bo then arrives and Ferraro tells her that she is in the wrong place for Yoga and he also doesn't need a card girl either. Bo manages to convince him that she is a "tough girl" and calls over a boxer named Thrasher. (Angelica Lisk)
Kenzi at the same time is talking to the woman in Bo's home and is told by her that she had been searching for Bo for many years and got a lucky break when she read a report of a bartender that "left a body behind that caught my attention." (Likely referring to the first episode of the series It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World when Bo killed a man to rescue Kenzi.) She came to town and then managed to spot Bo at a coffee shop and has been following her since. She also explains that she was friends with Bo in high school and that Bo had dated her older brother until he was killed. She explains that Bo (as Beth) was not allowed to date, but she sneaked out of her house regularly to see Kyle, her brother. One night they left together in Kyle's truck and the next morning he was found dead and Bo missing. She remembers that her brother had a smile on his lips even in death which continues to haunt her. Kenzi tries to tell her that Bo wouldn't do something like killing, but she replies that either Bo is responsible or she knows what happened and either way she aims to find out.
Back at the gym, Bo is battling with Thrasher, and not doing well at first. In order to defeat her, Bo uses her powers to overcome Thrasher's strength and wins the match. Ferraro is impressed by the result and takes her aside to discuss her terms. When asked if she has a fighting name, which she doesn't Ferraro christens her as being "Boom Boom." But after they enter his office, he confronts her, revealing spikes that appear from his knuckles and demands to know what a Fae is doing in his hym.
Back from commercial, Bo explains that she just wants a match and reveals herself to be unaligned. Ferraro makes the connection that she is a Succubus and asks why she wants to fight. Bo's answer is that she always needs to make more money and that Oscar the Ogre told her to look Ferraro up. He asks how Oscar is doing and when Bo asks what happened, he tells her that he wanted to have a decent match for Mike, the undefeated boxer and that there will be another match soon with Mike fighting an Obsidian Man in the ring. The opponent is supposed to be indestructible and the fight he claims will be epic. Ferraro then tells Bo that she will be fighting Thrasher that evening as few first match and she should try not to die in the ring.
Kenzi does not believe what she is hearing from the woman, telling her that Bo was born in the city and not the country. The woman tells Kenzi that Bo must be lying to her and attempts to call the police. Kenzi stops her by suggesting that she see a friend of hers that is the best detective in the city.
Dyson is in the Dal as Bo calls him. She tells him of what she has learned and that she has a fight scheduled. She also tells him that she knows which fighter is unbeatable, and his name is Mike. Mike is seen talking to a young boy named Tyler (Nicholas Bode), and teaching him how to box. Bo introduces herself and the two of them talk for a few moments, Bo asking if he takes anything to help him win, but Mike claims that he fights cleanly to set a good example for Tyler, who is his son. Ferraro then interrupts them to warn Mike about his son training without a membership. Ferraro then abuses Mike verbally before striking him repeatedly. Mike then tears a punching bag from it's mount in anger before collapsing to the floor unconscious.
Kenzi has taken the women, Mel Williams (Joanne Boland) to see Hale (K.C. Collins) at the police station. She tells him that she is sure that Bo and Beth are the same person and that Bo is responsible for her brother's death. Hale tells her that they will investigate her charges before asking her to give him and Kenzi a moment to talk in private. Kenzi asks Hale to help make Mel and her accusations against Bo disappear like they do for other Fae, but Hale tells her that Bo isn't Light Fae and that he cannot do such a thing, even for Bo.
Bo at that moment is talking to Mike who is once again conscious. Mike tells Bo that he suffers from blackouts when he overexerts himself and that he is also unaware of how angry he can be when it happens. He also tells her that the blackouts used to come only in the boxing ring but they are becoming worse. Bo suggests that Ferraro is giving something to him without his knowledge, but Mike brushes that off saying that it doesn't matter. He only has to fight once more and then his debt is paid in full and he can retire. Then Tyler arrives carrying a drink container and telling Mike that Ferraro wants him to drink it to regain his strength.
Bo arrives at the police station carrying the container and gives it to Dyson as evidence that Ferraro is spiking Mike's drinks in order to give him Fae powers. Dyson agrees to take the sample for testing in order to find out what is in it. The pair make some small talk and then Mel walks in to see Bo standing there talking to Dyson. Bo recognizes her and calls her "Mel." Mel then confronts Bo about what she has done with Kenzi and Hale looking on, Bo in shock as this unfolds. After Hale takes Mel away, Bo is furious with Kenzi for not telling her about Mel and storms off, Dyson asking Kenzi what is going on as he does so.
