Plot

Short Summary

Bo and Kenzi are at the Dal Raita when a female Fae named Ianka rushes in claiming that Bo told her to find her. Ianka sings for Bo and she has a glimpse of her lost memories, but in order to gain more Bo must give Ianka her freedom from the Fae that is holding her and gains that Fae’s permission for Ianka to sing for an audience, rather than that Fae alone. Ianka sings an aria which reveals more of what happened to Bo, but is interrupted when Ianka is held by an attacker who demands she be given to him. It appears he is in love with Ianka, but this turns out to be a lie and in fact he wishes Ianka to sing a death note to kill a species of Fae his kind is at war with. Ianka does sing but kills him instead before dying as well. Hale and Kenzi finally express to each other how they feel about each other and share a moment, but it appears that Hale was injured when Ianka sung her death note. Lauren prepares to leave the Light but The Morrigan meets with her at her apartment and they have a conversation about what Lauren is willing to do and the agreement she wants with the Dark Fae among other subjects. Lauren eventually is given access to the Dark Fae medical laboratories. Lauren also takes a sample of The Morrigan’s DNA for unknown purposes. Dyson returns to tell Bo that Lauren has switched to the Dark Fae and Bo tells Dyson that she has been forced to join the Dark as well. Trick warns Bo and Dyson that they cannot be together as Light and Dark are forbidden to do so. Bo and Dyson are then found together by the Una Mens who proclaim that Dyson has broken the laws and move to attack him as the episode ends.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with what appears to be an opera singer performing her art to an empty concert hall with the exception of a single individual who is watching her perform. Upon completing her performance, the single person in the audience, a man, gives her a round of applause before the singer bows and then turns away to be met by an assistant who helps her leave the stage. On her way out of the concert hall, she stumbles and then uses her voice to stun the person helping her who falls to the floor. She then flees down a flight of stairs before running away from the concert hall. The assistant who had been incapacitated by the singer, revives himself long enough to use a whistle that produces a high pitched squeal. The sound causes the singer to fall to her knees in pain for a moment, but the assistant loses consciousness again, the sound ends, and the singer continues her escape a moment later.

The scene then moves to the Dal Riata where Bo (Anna Silk) and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) are at the bar. Kenzi reads a note from Tamsin which cryptically says that Tamsin has had to leave to do something she finds important. Kenzi comments: "Kids... They are as cryptic as..." and Bo finishes the sentence with: "a signature on a Dark Fae contract?" Kenzi tells Bo that Tamsin is following her heart as Bo bemoans: "Can you really know yourself without memory? How can you know what you want?" Kenzi and Bo then hold hands, each telling the other that they have no idea what they would do without the other. At that moment the singer from earlier in the episode stumbles into the Dal Riata in what seems to be obvious pain, falling to the floor a moment later. Bo and Kenzi rush over to help her, Bo helping the singer to a place to sit down and Kenzi rushing over to a nearby table to grab a glass of water, and take a sip of one of the male Fae's drinks there telling them: "Toll for being non helping douche-balls!" and taking the water to the singer. The singer then looks at Bo and exclaims: "You!" before speaking in rapid-fire Russian for a short time. Kenzi tells Bo that the singer is saying "I can't believe I found you!" Bo is confused as she claims not to know the singer. The singer continues to speak, Kenzi translating her words as: "I came! Just like she told me to!" Bo asks who the singer is talking about and the singer tells Bo, in English, "You did."

After the opening credits, we find the singer in Trick's lair with Trick (Richard Howland) looking after her as she rests. After doing so for a short time he moves to the lock box which contains the seed from the sacred papyrus plant which the Uns Mens are in search of, as well as Trick, and hides it away as Bo enters. Trick then names the singer as being Ianka, and that she needs to rest. Bo tells Trick that she needs to find out why a woman she has never met believes that Bo told her to come and see her. When Trick blocks her way Bo pleads: "Pretty please?" but Trick tells Bo that Ianka is an Alchemist Fae who are a very delicate descendant of what Trick calls Bird People. Trick explains that running in the cold may have strained Ianka's vocal cords and that is a problem because it is the way that Alchemist Fae feed as their singing evokes powerful memories which they draw in and feed upon. Bo asks what memories and Trick replies that Ianka can bring good and bad memories to the fore with her singing and certain songs can also kill and as well they can kill themselves with their singing if they are not careful. Bo relents but asks Trick to tell her when "Liza Faenelli" wakes up so she can talk to her.

Elsewhere Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is packing up her things in her Light Fae apartment as she prepares to leave them as she now has joined the Dark Fae. As she dances to some music, The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) enters, dressed very casually, and turns the music down, telling Lauren that she "would have killed at Studio 54. Just like I killed the busboy that served me tonic instead of soda." Lauren asks The Morrigan what she wants and is told that The Morrigan came over to help Lauren move, but: "Clearly we have something more pressing to work on." A long moment passes and then The Morrigan continues: "Your hostessing skills. They suck ass Disco Queen." Lauren replies that she didn't expect The Morrigan to "just show up with... pizza... and beer." The Morrigan replies: "What's a moving day party without some 'za and something from my own personal micro brewery." She hands Lauren a bottle of beer and Lauren reads the label, commenting: "Oh wow. Dark Belch." The Morrigan answers: "I was going through a red neck phase. They were delicious so, no regrets." then she adds: "And please, if we are going to be working together, call me Evony." When The Morrigan pushes a stack of boxes to the side with her hip, Lauren panics slightly and asks her to be careful. When asked what is in the box, Lauren claims, sheepishly, that it is her entire Star Trek DVD collection and her con collectible action figures. This brings a smile to The Morrigan who comments: "Oh honey, I obviously came just in time." before turning away and opening the bag she had been carrying and then handing to Lauren a small stack of what appears to be old books.

Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) is sitting at the bar in the Dal Riata as Bo approaches him and comments: "The prodigal wolf returns." Dyson replies: "Rode for two days straight" and Bo answers: "Yeah, that's what I said." After a moment, Dyson tells Bo that he believes that Lauren has joined the Dark Fae, this news obviously troubling him greatly. Bo replies: "You're going to giggle. Really. You are. But, as it turns out. So did I." Dyson is shocked by Bo's admission and demands to know why Bo has done so and she tries to explain to him: "I was forced okay? By The Wanderer or whoever the bastard is." Dyson promises Bo that they can "fix this" and tells Bo that he thinks that he knows where they can start doing so, but Bo interrupts him by drawing Dyson into a kiss and replying: "So do I." The kiss breaks and Dyson tells Bo that now that she is Dark and he is Light they cannot be together and asks if she understands that. However Bo takes Dyson into one of the back rooms of the Dal Riata and the two begin to have some "rough" sex, Bo being in control of Dyson as this continues until Trick walks in on them, crying out: "Balls of Minotaur!" and slamming the door he entered through closed. As they dress, Trick looks the other way and asks: "What wrong with you two? Light and Dark cannot fraternize!" Dyson tells Trick that he is aware of this as Bo kisses him, and Trick tells them both they need to be smarter than what they are doing as "the Una Mens are everywhere." Bo looks at Trick and says in a harsh voice: "So close the door on your way out." Trick is shocked but replies: "No, you get your brain out of each other's pants and my barrel room." Trick then tells Bo that Ianka is awake and that she should not aggravate her before Bo storms out of the room to see Ianka.
