Plot
Short Summary
A wake is held for Ciara at the Dal Riata, Bo and her friends trying to cope with what's happened, Dyson devastated and on the verge of giving up. Bo confronts Trick with the knowledge she believes that he is her father, however Trick tells Bo that he isn't her father, but rather her grandfather and that Aoife was his daughter. He also tells her he doesn't know who Bo's father is. Trick explains that Bo's blood has the power to enslave others, like her mother did, and that using that power may turn her to the dark side. Bo asks that Trick call the Nain Rouge to get some answers, but he cannot. Bo cries out in anger and the Nain Rouge appears. The Nain Rouge tells Bo that Dyson misunderstood what the Wolf Spirit told him and the way to defeat the Garuda is to join the Light and Dark Fae into a single force. Bo and Lauren attend the funeral of Lachlan, and find The Morrigan there. Bo asks for Vex's help, but is told that Vex will remain in the dungeons forever because he took control of The Morrigan's body and humiliated her. Bo is told in order to have what she wants, she has to steal an item from The Ash for her. Kenzi confronts Dyson and makes him understand that he cannot give up for everyone's sake, and Bo's in particular. Dyson sees The Norn with Kenzi at his side, demanding his love to be returned, but is rejected. Kenzi takes things into her own hands and attacks The Norn's sacred tree and begins to cut it down, which forces The Norn to agree to Kenzi's demands. Kenzi is tricked and Dyson's love is seemingly destroyed. Kenzi then brings something to Dyson, which he consumes, which she claims is Dyson's love. Bo locates the item and brings it to The Morrigan, when Vex is brought to her, he explains he humiliated The Morrigan to be safe from a group of Red Caps, who then attack Bo and take Vex away with them. Bo confronts the Red Caps, and they demand the item that Bo stole for The Morrigan to release Vex. Bo finds The Morrigan and uses her powers to control her long enough to steal the item back. Bo gives the item to the Red Caps, but The Morrigan stops the transaction and moves to kill everyone there. Vex helps Bo to overcome her, and Vex agrees to help Bo in the coming battle. Bo gathers her friends and tells them she has a plan, and asks her friends to stand with her and they all agree to do so. At the end of the episode, a dark force is seen watching Trick in his lair, but takes no action against him.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins in the Dal Riata, a wake remembering Ciara underway, a pair of fiddlers performing on stage. Standing next to her casket, which has a picture of Ciara upon it, are Bo (Anna Silk), Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), Lauren (Zoie Palmer), Hale (K.C. Collins), and Trick (Richard Howland). Bo talks about her past with Ciara, and that Ciara stepped in front of The Garuda's sword and took a killing blow meant for her in the previous episode Lachlan's Gambit. Trick calls it a "nobel sacrifice" and that Ciara would be proud to know it made a difference. Kenzi comments that the photo of Ciara is wonderful and Trick replies that Fairies are very photogenic, that it is hard to pick just one, and that Dyson sent over a box of images of Ciara. Trick comments that he thinks that Dyson couldn't bear to look through them himself and Hale chastises himself for not bringing Dyson to the wake. Kenzi tells Hale that Dyson is still recovering from the battle and she doesn't expect him to appear. Trick comments that "it is hard losing someone you love, someone you care about" and everyone looks at Lauren who says nothing, but is obviously still in shock over the loss of Nadia. Bo asks Lauren when she slept last and Lauren tells Bo that she will rest when she figures out how to stabilize Lachlan's venom that was extracted in the previous episode. As Kenzi tells Lauren that she will figure out how to do that, there is a growl and shout from behind the group and they turn around to face what they think is a threat to them all, but it turns out to be only a drunk Fae entering the bar. Kenzi's comment is: "So not the thing that is trying to kill us." Trick and Bo both say that they must remain on guard for attacks as The Garuda is becoming stronger. Hale tells Trick: "He was plenty strong last time he whooped us." The fiddlers then come to the end of their performance and Trick stands by Ciara's casket and begins to speak: "To Caira O'Breen. A toast. In the words of her Scáthach kin." Trick follows this with a long loud howl which the rest of the bar joins in to. After this, Bo takes Trick aside and tells him that the truth is that Ciara died because she made a mistake. Bo proclaims that they need to avenge her death somehow, and she tells Trick that they need to talk.
Trick leads Bo into his lair and tells Bo that he is willing to listen to her. Bo tells Trick: "It's in our blood isn't it?" Trick does not look at Bo and says: "Our blood?" Bo then continues: "Your blood and mine. It's the key." He turns around and looks at Bo saying: "To what?" Bo answers: "Victory." Trick says nothing to this, then Bo continues: "I know Trick. I finally figured it out. You're my father."
After the opening credits, we return to see Bo and Trick still confronting each other. Trick questions Bo about calling him her father and Bo tells Trick that from the moment she met him, she knew that she could trust him, ask for advice from him as well as comfort, but now with all that is happening, she must look at him in a different way. Trick tells her that it isn't the right time, but Bo asks when is it ever the right time and begs him to tell her the truth as she needs her father. Trick tells Bo that he is sorry but he is not her father, but rather her Grandfather, which shocks and yet pleases Bo as it allows her to have one piece of her past's puzzle revealed at last. Bo then realizes a truth and Trick confirms that Aife, Bo's mother, is Trick's daughter. He tells Bo that what happened to Aife is the biggest regret in his life. Bo then asks about her father, but Trick explains that he does not have the answer to that question and it terrifies him. Bo asks what all of this makes her, and Trick tells Bo that it makes her: "Strong, smart, and more beautiful than I dared hope." Bo smiles and blushes at Trick's words, and he continues: "After so much pain, what a gift." Bo laughs in joy and Trick continues: "And to know you now, I could just burst with pride." Bo takes his hands and tells Trick that she has so many questions to ask of him, and Trick agrees that there is much to learn and understand. Bo however understands that she must, for now, only be concerned with defeating The Garuda. She asks Trick to tell her about their blood and he explains that while they are family, what each of their blood can do is unique. While Trick wrote the Fae laws and manipulated the future with his blood, Bo's blood has the power to enslave others, binding them to Bo's will. Bo realizes that her blood was the reason why Ryan became obsessed with her in the episode Fae-nted Love. Bo agrees and also notes what Aife did with her blood to create an army for her use. Bo declares that she isn't her mother and that Aife went bad. Trick explains that is the problem, using her blood in that way would become addictive and would, over time, could turn Bo evil. Bo shrugs this off saying that extreme times need extreme measures. Bo then tells Trick that if he wants to make things up to her, she needs him to summon the Nain Rouge so that she can get answers from her. Trick asks how and Bo tells him that the Nain Rouge likes watching tragedies and has been watching Bo for some time. Then Bo realizes they are at a tragic event, the funeral of a Fairy Queen and that the Nain Rouge must be there watching. Bo then calls out: "Show yourself you brat!" as she looks around in anger.
Meanwhile, in the bar above, the fiddlers play on as the wake continues but then Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) enters which brings the music, and all of the conversations to a stop as everyone in the bar looks at him. Hale is surprised that Dyson came, but Kenzi just says: "It's Dyson. of course he did." The fiddlers begin playing again as Dyson approaches Ciara's casket and lingers there for a time. He removes a bracelet from a pocket and rubs his fingers over it, saying nothing, but in grief, before placing it beside Ciara's picture and then walking away. Lauren approaches him and pours a drink. Dyson tells Lauren that it must be the end of the world if she is buying him a drink and she tells him that he does't have to pretend with her. Dyson looks at Lauren with some confusion and then she explains that: "It takes strength to express your pain so that you can go on." Dyson's answer is: "All this and Nadia too. I'm sorry Lauren." She thanks Dyson as Kenzi and Hale approach them both. Kenzi embraces Dyson and he tells her that he never got a chance to thank Kenzi for returning for him, and that he has no idea how she did it. Kenzi smiles and just says that she improvised and broke the heel of her favourite boots. Hale then asks Dyson to put what has happened between them in the past, but Dyson becomes angry. Hale tries to tell Dyson that what happens wasn't his fault, but Dyson just asks who's fault it is before leaving.
Bo is enraged and calls out for the Nain Rouge to appear, Trick trying to explain that doing so won't work. Bo announces to the room that: "The Garuda is winning and we are broken. You get off on it don't you? Watching others trying and fail while you hide in the shadows." Then, suddenly, the Nain Rouge (Hayley Nault) appears behind Bo and tells Bo that only she decides when she appears, telling Bo that it is tradition. Trick comments: "Bo hates tradition." Bo adds: "From now on we're doing things my way." Bo then asks how she can defeat The Garuda, but is told that the Nain Rouge only observes and does not council. Bo is then chastised about her listening to the Wolf Spirit, but Trick takes the blame and asks why the Wolf Spirit lied to Dyson. The Nain Rouge tells Trick that Dyson misinterpreted the message he received and as a result, their actions were doomed from the start. Bo then confronts the Nain Rouge, telling her that the problem is that all they, her and the Wolf Spirit, do is talk in riddles, and that she understands that the Nain Rouge likes to watch because it is her "kink." Trick interrupts Bo reminding her that the Nain Rouge is a child, but Bo does not care saying that she is Fae and the normal rules do not apply. Bo then threatens her with: "If I do not stop it, the last thing you will ever observe are The Garuda's teeth bearing down on your pretty little face." For an instant, the Nain Rouge seems to be about to say something in a riddle again, but she stops and then her voice becomes that of a normal child and she admits that she is scared. Bo demands that she talk to her and Bo is told that The Garuda is the enemy of the Fae and to defeat it Bo must present a united force to it, both Light and Dark Fae, and the one from the Dark must have abilities that "rival your own." Bo considers this for a moment and then says she knows who they need before telling the Nain Rouge to return to her Limbo. Before Bo leaves, the Nain Rouge asks that she: "kick his feathered ass."
The next scene takes place at The Ash's funeral as Bo and Lauren arrive. Bo comments that there are few people there and Lauren simply explains that Lachlan was not that well known, or liked. The two approach the Ash's casket and throw ash into a burner there, commenting that many Fae are leaving the city in an attempt to save themselves. The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) then arrives, Bo commenting as she sees her about "cockroaches", The Morrigan rolling her eyes as she comments about Bo being in black leather once again. Bo asks if she ever "lets up", but the only answer Bo gets is: "Join the Dark and see." Gritting her teeth, Bo tells The Morrigan that she needs her help, and then asks for Vex. The Morrigan tells Bo that Vex is in her dungeon and she plans to keep him there forever.
Returning from commercial, Bo doesn't believe The Morrigan telling her that: "The two of you are like an evil Hall & Oates." The Morrigan replies, with a smirk: "They're not evil?" Bo presses on asking what could possibly have happened to make The Morrigan turn on Vex after all of the things they have done to each other. The Morrigan is surprised as she thought that Bo would have known what had happened and asks Bo to swear that she doesn't know. Bo then touches The Morrigan's hands and uses her power to make The Morrigan tell her what happened.
The scene then shifts to The Morrigan's memories of what happened, that being she was seducing an artist named Paulo (Jon Cor) to join her company, and Vex interfered by taking control of her body and making her do things that she normally wouldn't do by embarrassing herself in several different ways, including dancing and stripping, eventually appearing in front of The Morrigan and making her act like a puppet.
We return to Bo as she laughs and tells The Morrigan that what happened was "unfortunate." The Morrigan hits back with: "Shut it SuccuBitch, at least my moves don't leave my lovers pureed." Bo proclaims that The Morrigan is the leader of the Dark Fae and that she should act like it. Instead, The Morrigan offers Bo a deal, Bo must obtain an item from The Ash's vaults and bring it to The Morrigan. If Bo does so, she will release Vex into Bo's custody. Bo is also told that she cannot show what the item is to anyone and to bring it only to The Morrigan in her private chambers. Bo tells her that she can't, and begins to walk away, but The Morrigan calls after Bo telling her that: "You can take some fake moral high ground and watch The Garuda slay everyone you care about." Bo stares at her for a long moment and then takes the information about the item, commenting that: "Why do I feel like I haven't read the fine print?" Bo then enters The Ash's vaults and discovers them to be seemingly endless, but undefended.
Dyson is then seen at home working out his frustrations on a punching bag. Someone knocks over and over again on his front door, but all he does is tell whoever it is to leave him alone. However, they do not leave and Dyson angrily opens the door to find Kenzi standing there. He is taken aback, Kenzi saying nothing until she slaps him across the face and asks if he liked it. When Dyson doesn't answer, she slaps him again and tells Dyson that she can "keep going all night." She goes for a third strike, but Dyson grabs her wrist and says: "enough." Kenzi tells Dyson: "It's about time. We thought we lost you." Dyson turns away and Kenzi tells him that he did something crazy, but it was not the reason why Ciara died, it was The Garuda's fault. Dyson is ashamed of himself, saying that it was his fault that everyone was almost killed. Kenzi presses on telling him that he fought to the end, and she cannot understand why he is giving up now and asks: "Did The Norn take your cojones?" before slapping him on the back. Dyson is quiet for a moment and then says: "Actually..." Kenzi jumps to the conclusion that what she said was true but then realizes the Dyson was joking with her, Dyson commenting that: "I guess you bring out the worst in me." Kenzi's answer is: "We gotta get back the best of you. Bo can't do this without you."
Returning from commercial, Dyson leads Kenzi into The Norn's (Kate Trotter) home. She sits there reading a paper and is amused by their arrival, calling Dyson a "glutton for punishment" and tells him that possessing his love and causing him pain makes it delicious to her. Kenzi asks: "Did you practice that speech in the shower?" and The Norn is shocked when she realizes that Dyson has brought a human into her home, something that has never happened before. Kenzi is unfazed and Dyson asks for his love to be returned, but the Norn refuses to do so. Dyson calls it a selfless request to "help the champion battle the coming darkness." The Norn is unimpressed and replies that her "sacred tree has weathered many a storm" and she is not concerned about The Garuda in the slightest. Kenzi interrupts and asks if they have something more valuable to trade, would she do so. Kenzi then shows The Norn the bracelet that Dyson placed upon Caira's coffin earlier in the episode. Dyson is incensed that Kenzi would steal the bracelet as Dyson knows that Ciara would want it to be buried with her. Kenzi tells Dyson that what Ciara would want is a chance for victory. The Norn examines the bracelet, commenting that it is made of "genuine iridium" and that the one that wore it had a "gifted essence." However, The Norn rejects it as the bracelet is not as powerful without the wearer and it is not as powerful as a wolf's love before throwing it back to Kenzi with a laugh of derision. Kenzi turns to Dyson and tells him that it is only her first offer, but Dyson explains that there are rules and they are finished here. As they leave, The Norn taunts Kenzi that she never will understand nuances, and Kenzi's reply is: "Lady, you reek of peat moss" as they leave.
Kenzi meets with Bo at Bo's place and is shocked to learn that Trick is Bo's grandfather, she asks Bo how she feels and Bo tells her that she is elated that she finally has family that isn't mean or crazy. Kenzi agrees calling Trick "the best." Bo then adds that she is a little bit furious in that Trick lied to her for so long. Kenzi teases Bo, telling her that Trick owes her thirty years of birthday gifts too. Bo wondering what Trick had to "wait until the end of the world to tell me." Kenzi then picks up a small suitcase laying on the table and asks Bo what it is, but Bo only tells Kenzi that she is supposed to deliver it to The Morrigan. Bo cannot understand why it is that no one believes her when she tells them the threat that is coming and she feels like chicken little. Kenzi tells Bo that she would never bet again her, or her "magic box". Kenzi tells Bo that her belief in doing the right thing no matter what is her real power. Something then comes to Kenzi's mind and she whispers "That's it..." before leaving, telling Bo that she needs to get to a hardware store.
The Morrigan is in her private lair admiring herself in a mirror when Bo enters carrying the case she was told to fetch. The Morrigan comments that the mirror makes her look thirty and it should be taken away, Bo answering that she isn't her servant. Bo hands her the case and reminds The Morrigan that she had best keep her end of the deal they struck. Slightly irritated, 'The Morrigan agrees but when Bo asks what is in the case, she isn't told what it is brushing Bo off with: "A girl never tells." Bo wonders: "Girl? Aren't you like... thirty?" which angers The Morrigan, she does nothing as Bo leaves.
The Norn is in her home as someone knocks on the door. She tells them to leave, but instead of doing so, she hears the sound of a chainsaw being started and then it cuts through her door until it falls apart revealing Kenzi. The Norn asks: "What is God's name are you doing?" Kenzi answers that she is: "Going for nuance" before approaching The Norn's sacred tree and then beginning to cut it down. The Norn screams in pain, clutching at her stomach, blood seeping out from between her fingers. Kenzi stops for a meant and taunts The Norn which: "I guess my bite is worse than your bark" The Norn tells Kenzi that she wouldn't dare, but Kenzi revs up the chainsaw, smiles, and says: "Oh yes I would. I'm human remember? We drive SUVs and we dump raw sewage into pretty lakes and we will burn this planet to the ground if it means just one more cheeseburger. So since your Fae rules don't apply to me..." and then she starts to swing the chainsaw into action once more, cutting into the tree and, at the same moment, a wound appears on the arm of The Norn making her scream in pain again. Kenzi stops and The Norn asks angrily what Kenzi wants. Kenzi tells her that she wants Dyson's love returned. The Norn refuses and Kenzi adds: "Or a sweet harvest table, your choice." When The Norn refuses again, Kenzi simply says: "Fine" and starts to attack the tree once more, but The Norn screams no and then tells Kenzi that: "The wolf may have his love back." Kenzi shuts off the chainsaw and tells her: "You'd be surprised how many of my transactions involve power tools."
Meanwhile, at Bo's place, she removes a hood covering Vex's (Paul Amos) head and welcomes him to her "humble abode" which he calls filthy. Bo stomps her foot between Vex's legs and tells him that it cost her a lot to get him out of the dungeons, but Vex asks Bo to run him through Bo's security system. Bo draws her knife out, shows it to Vex and tells him: "You're looking at it." Vex is worried over this because, he explains, the reason why he angered The Morrigan was to be put in a place where he would be safe from a group of Red Caps who want Vex for not coming through on a deal with them, and Vex is very worried about their leader Duncan (Billy MacLellan), who then walks into Bo's home with two other Red Caps. Bo confronts them and they fight for a short time, but Bo is overwhelmed and they leave with Vex, Bo unconscious on the floor as they do.
Returning from another commercial, Lauren is in her lab trying to figure out a means to stop Lachlan's venom from going bad. Bo enters, suffering the aftermath of the beating she took from the Red Caps and Lauren tries to comfort her. At one point, Lauren misunderstands something that Bo tells her and she offers herself to Bo to help her heal, but Bo refuses, telling her that what she really needs is an aspirin. When Lauren returns with some wipes to treat Bo's wounds, Bo tells Lauren that she would never feed on Lauren and Lauren tells Bo that she know this, but Lauren is tired and not thinking straight as all of her time and effort has been focused on solving the problem of Lachlan's venom. Lauren apologizes for telling Bo about her being tired when Bo has enough to worry about as it is. Lauren then asks Bo if she can remember what happened when the Lich tried to force Bo to feed on her in the episode Death Didn't Become Him. Bo says she does, that she sucked the Chi out of an entire room of people and Lauren tells Bo that it: "scared the hell out of me." Bo tells Lauren it scared her as well, but she has no idea of how she managed to do it, or what triggered her rage. Lauren tells Bo that she thinks she has an idea of what happened, that it was caused by what she and Bo feel for each other. Bo admits to Lauren that she: "takes my breath away." They just touch their lips together and Bo whispers: "Breathless... completely breathless." Lauren pauses and then whispers: "That's it..." She then tells Bo that the venom only goes bad when it is in stasis. Lauren then returns to her desk, immersed in her work again. Bo tells her that she was glad she could help and Lauren asks if she can see Bo again soon. Bo's answer as she leaves is: "See you soon..."
Back at The Norns home, she leads Kenzi into a storage room filled with various items and bottles, Kenzi commenting: "this is like an episode of Horders." The Norn tells Kenzi that she has received many "gifts" form other Fae such as beauty, fear, and bravery among others. Kenzi tells her to: "Try the bottle marked wolf mojo." The Norn tells Kenzi that she will pay for what she has done, calling herself as old as time and twice as deadly. Kenzi is not impressed and wonders if that is why The Norn is so popular. The Norn then asks why Kenzi cares about Dyson and offers to give Kenzi something else, but Kenzi is wise to The Norns game and The Norn tells Kenzi that she speaks like a "true Con." Kenzi then adds that she know that it must be voluntary and Kenzi isn't interested in trading anything for what she wants. The Norn then picks out a bottle on the shelf and Kenzi takes it from her, clutching it tightly in her hands. Kenzi then backs up into a shelf, knocking down one of the bottles which strikes her hand and then falls onto the floor. She brushes at her hand as The Norn smiles and tells Kenzi that: "A gift has been given." Kenzi is scared and only manages to say: "Super."
Elsewhere, Vex is being held by the Red Caps in a club somewhere in the city, using him for target practise as they fire soccer balls at his head. Bo then arrives and demands they turn him over to her. They refuse saying that they are "torturing and killing him for screwing us over." Another Red cap whispers something into their leaders ear and he offers to trade Vex for the case that Bo took to The Morrigan, calling it Briefcase 229. Bo asks how he knows about it and they tell Bo that The Morrigan has been bragging about it on Twitter, which thrills Bo to no end. Bo is told she has two hours to return with the case and then she leaves to get it and free Vex once again.
Kenzi arrives at Dyson's place and he asks her what's with the chainsaw she is carrying. Kenzi tells Dyson: "When they have your furry ass again the wall, that's when you go dog wild. Guess who taught me that?" Kenzi then shows Dyson the bottle that she took from The Norn, Dyson looking at it in disbelief. Kenzi tells him: "Work it through baby... Work it through." Dyson steps away from Kenzi, clutching the bottle in amazement. Kenzi comments: "Once chance to love again with a side of one seriously pissed off Norn." Dyson asks her what she did, and is told that Kenzi did what she had to do. Dyson calls her a "crazy human" and Kenzi just smiles. Dyson starts to open the bottle, but Kenzi stops him and asks how they know that The Norn isn't "pulling a Kenzi on us." Dyson tells Kenzi that she can't hurt him anymore than he has been. Dyson then opens the bottle and smoke rises from it that then enters his body, causing him to howl out in pain.
The Morrigan is in her private lair, her fingers stroking over the case that Bo brought her as Bo enters wearing a trench coat. Bo is asked what she is doing there, and Bo answers: "I wasn't expecting flannel pyjamas, but still... wow." The Morrigan asks how Bo got past her security and Bo tells her that they were a "mere snack, just enough to wet my appetite." The Morrigan becomes aroused and answers: "You succubi are always so crass, so aggressive, where's the foreplay? Where's the seduction?" Bo disrobes, revealing black lace lingerie and as she strokes her fingers over The Morrigan temples she purrs: "Evony... it's party time" as The Morrigan shivers in excitement at Bo using her powers on her.
Retunring from another commercial, The Morrigan is just being effected by Bo's powers and tells Bo that what she is doing will never work, but then mewls and moans in ecstasy as Bo increases her hold on her. The Morrigan tells Bo that she could resist her, and Bo asks why she would want to do so. Bo tells The Morrigan that they have both been "dancing around this moment from the day we met" and then the pair begin to become intimate together, Bo the aggressor and The Morrigan under her sway. The Morrigan tells Bo that she is a "dead woman" but does nothing to stop Bo having her way with her. The Morrigan tells Bo that she is in for a treat, Bo replies "Show me" and then feeds on The Morrigan. Once Bo feeds on her, The Morrigan loses control of herself and falls under the power of Bo's seduction of her, allowing Bo to handcuff her to the bed, and tells Bo that: "The pepper spray is in the drawer." But then Bo stops and with a smile tells her: "Maybe next time." Bo then slips away from her, The Morrigan telling Bo that she will not live long enough to regret what she has done. Bo's answer is: "Then I'll take out some insurance" as she pulls out her cell phone and takes pictures of The Morrigan handcuffed to her bed. The Morrigan tells Bo that this is the worse decision that she has ever made, and Bo tells her that she: "would never leave the keys to my handcuffs so far from the bed". drops them on the floor and when walks away with the case in her hand.
Bo returns to the club and the Red Caps are impressed that she stole from The Morrigan. She gives them the case and then asks what Vex did to them. The answer is that Vex was supposed to fix a soccer match final for them, but he didn't do so.
Questions in this Episode
- Who is Bo's father? Assuming that Trick isn't lying to her, and he is her Grandfather, then who is?
- Assuming that Bo is a Blood Princess, is there a means to succeed Trick's role as the Blood King and for Bo to become the Blood Queen?
- What does it mean exactly that Bo is a Blood Princess? Are all of her Succubus powers then not "normal" for a Succubus?
- If true, then what are the actual powers of a "true" Succubus in the Lost Girl universe?
- Does Bo being a Blood Princess mean that she could, in theory, write with her blood in a book and change reality? What would that do to her? Would she suffer the same curse as Trick?
- Why, if that it possible, didn't Aife use her powers to "bend" reality to her wishes? Or did she and all of the events that she believes to be true are part of her punishment for using her powers?
- Is the addictive nature of Bo's mind controlling power what sends her over the edge to become like her mother?
- Trick said that the blood in each member of his family did different things. If that is true, then what he told Bo about she having the same powers as her mother doesn't seem correct. Is it possible that the mind control aspect of Bo's blood is only a small part of what it can do?
- As there is no Ash, and Bo is the Ash's champion, is it possible that Bo might remove The Morrigan as the leader of the Dark Fae and then take control of all Fae by herself? Is this the end result of this season's arc?
- Why was Bo surprised by the size of the The Ash's vault? She has been there before and must have some idea of the size of it.
- If Kenzi cut the sacred tree down, would that break all of the deals that The Norn has made?
Answers in this Episode
- Ciara's kin are called Scáthach. There is a story in Irish mythology that tells of Scáthach being a figure in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. She is a legendary Scottish warrior woman and martial arts teacher who trains the legendary Ulster hero Cú Chulainn in the arts of combat. Texts describe her homeland as Scotland (Alpae); she is especially associated with the Isle of Skye, where her residence Dún Scáith (Fort of Shadows) stands. You can find out more about this myth here. This myth ties very well into Ciara's role in the mythos of the Lost Girl universe as the one that taught the art of war to Dyson and his pack mates in the past.
- Trick claims not to be Bo's father, but her Grandfather.
- This would make Aife, who was Bo's mother, Trick's daughter.
- This would also make Bo, as Trick is the Blood King, a Blood Princess.
