Plot
Short Summary
Lauren and Nadia leave on a trip, but before Lauren leaves, she tells Bo that the Ash saved Nadia and that she has given herself back to the Ash again as a result. Elsewhere, Kenzi and Nate's relationship continues to grow, and he asks her to leave town with him, and Kenzi agrees. Trick intends to use the coming of the Blood Moon, an event that happens once every twenty-eight years, to see into the future, but needs a ring that a shifter Fae stole for him. Bo goes to see the shifter in order to collect the ring, but the shifter becomes a doppelgänger of Bo and attempts to double-cross her and Trick. Bo overcomes the shifter and takes the ring to Trick. Trick sees an old friend and has to answer four questions truthfully in order to obtain to obtain a drug he also needs and they reveal some of his secrets. She also forces Dyson to admit that he cannot ever truly love Ciara. Trick then passes into trance and divines the future. He sees his wife, who tells him that he made a mistake in ending the Great Fae War which was caused by a being that fed on the rage of all Fae and she demands he end the peace for the good of the Fae. Trick sees through this lie, and then faces the Evil One foretold by the Nain Rouge which is a being called a Garuda. He is attacked by it in the vision and is badly injured, also injuring Dyson and Hale who were guarding him in the real world. Bo goes to confront the Ash about what he has done to Lauren, and she discovers a series of his own severed heads that he keeps in his chambers. The Ash then attacks her and they battle each other. Bo eventually has the chance to kill him, but she refuses to do so and discovers that the Ash has been testing her. The Ash then reveals to Bo that he is a Nāga and he tells Bo about the Garuda, its threat, and asks her to battle the Garuda for the Fae, telling her that she is the only one who can possibly destroy it and save the world.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Lauren (Zoie Palmer) at Bo's place borrowing Bo's (Anna Silk) car. Lauren wants it in order to travel away from the city with Nadia (Athena Karkanis) for a while. Bo tries to give Lauren some helpful advice about the car, including that it uses a lot of gas, making both of them somewhat uncomfortable with the situation. Lauren has second thoughts about borrowing the car, but Bo insists and Lauren eventually does take the keys. Nadia then comes into the room, and asks if Lauren is ready to leave. Bo tells Lauren to call her if she needs anything, but Lauren tells her that she will not be calling Bo while they are away, and she doesn't want Bo calling her either. When Bo expresses the fear that Lauren isn't coming back, Lauren tells Bo that she has to. She has Bo's car. Lauren then also tells Bo that she has recommitted herself to the Ash (Vincent Walsh) because, as far as she knows, the Ash was the one that saved Nadia. Bo cannot believe that Lauren did so, but does not reveal the truth, that she was the one that released Nadia from her curse in the last episode Masks. Lauren then leaves with Nadia, leaving Bo behind.
Elsewhere, what appears to be a married couple is talking in their kitchen. The husband (Richard Willis) complaining about working a double shift and also complaining about various other parts of his life working at the Royal Celtic Museum as his wife (Alisen Down) watches him from behind. His complaints grow and become more directed at his wife until she picks up a frying pan and hits him over the head with it. Knocking him unconscious. Moments after that happens, his wife's body shimmers and then shifts into a copy of the husband's form.
Returning from the opening credits, we return to Bo's place to see Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) reading a text message on her phone, when Bo walks into the room. Kenzi asks Bo what they will be doing today, and Bo casually mentions that she was going to see Trick, but instead wants to figure out a way into the Ash's compound so that she can "force feed Lochlyn a buffet of right-hand burritos and stiletto boot tacos." When Kenzi says that sounds delicious, Bo smiles and adds "and the sun is shining." Kenzi asks Bo why she wants to go and start a war, and Bo reveals to her that he tricked Lauren into recommitting herself to the Light Fae. When Kenzi asks how me managed that, Bo stumbles over herself trying to tell, but not tell Kenzi what happened and finally gives up trying to explain. Bo then tells Kenzi that one day she will stop being so naive and when that happens she will: "sleep in." Kenzi tries to comfort Bo, and at the same time send a text on her phone. Bo grabs the phone from her and reads out some of the texts, which are from Nate (Aaron Ashmore) which embarrasses Kenzi to no end. Bo tells Kenzi that she loves Nate, to which Kenzi tries to deny, and then Bo suggests that Kenzi got "lucky", Kenzi is incensed and denies anything happened. Bo then tells Kenzi that she'll go solo today and that Kenzi should get with her boyfriend as she leaves, Kenzi frustrated over Bo's cavalier attitude over what is happening.
