Plot

Short Summary

Bo has isolated herself from all of her friends and is with Rainer. Bo has a series of flashbacks of when she arrived on the Death Train and what happened while she was there. When Rainer and Bo met, they were at odds with one another. Rainer explained he was cursed because he attempted to end the divisions between Light and Dark Fae, but could not remember the circumstances. Bo found herself attracted to him and becomes intimate with him to the point where she agreed to help Rainer escape his curse, including setting all of the clues that Bo found to return to him. Kenzi in the meantime enlists Lauren and Dyson’s help to investigate a company when a Fae loses her legs there to unknown forces and hires them to solve the mystery. They discover that the company is run by a merman who appears to be threatened by his sister. In fact, the Fae that lost her legs is another of the merman’s sisters and they have found a means to walk on land that they did not share with the other sister. When Kenzi and Dyson are threatened, Lauren saves them. Bo and Rainer confront the Una Mens and state they intend to oppose them. The Una Mens in response intend to kill all of Bo’s family and friends, leaving her and Rainer to be killed last. Rainer and Bo combine their abilities and battle the Una Mens managing to kill them all. Trick approaches Bo this occurs asking her not to kill the Una Mens because all of their powers will be placed in the seed that Trick had possessed, but has since been stolen from him. The seed is then seen elsewhere in the possession of persons unknown.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a series of flashbacks to earlier episodes which include: Bo (Anna Silk) meeting Rainer, The Wanderer (Kyle Schmid) last episode on the Death Train and asking if he was The Wanderer. Trick (Richard Howland) exclaiming that he knows who The Wanderer is and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) in the midst of her flashback saying that Rainer's soul was hers. Bo is also shown telling her friends that "Not knowing is driving me crazy." Leviathan's prophesy that someone Bo loves will be dead soon is then shown before Bo and Rainer are shown clutching each other and then, the final moment of the previous episode is shown with Bo declaring Rainer has her "destiny."

The first scene of the episode is Bo leaning over her bathroom sink, the conversations that happened after Bo made her announcement to her friends that Rainer was her "destiny" running through her mind. We hear, in order: Lauren saying: "Did you just say destiny?" followed by Trick telling Rainer: "If you have something to settle, settle it with me, not my Granddaughter." Bo's voice is then heard shouting: "Did you not hear what I just said?" Kenzi then says: "He's brainwashed you." Bo then says in frustration: "Can you please trust me? Any of you?" Lauren asks: "What's going on", then Dyson says: "I'll take care of this." and his growl is heard clearly. Dyson's voice is heard: "Bo, get back!" Bo says: "No, all of you get back!" followed by Lauren calling out Trick's name. Then Bo raises her face to the mirror, showing it covered in blood and that she has been injured while Rainer walks up to Bo, he too covered in blood and tells her: "It had to be done. They didn't give us a choice" in a calm voice. Rainer then walks away leaving Bo still looking into her mirror and thinking about what she has done.

The scene then switches to an indoor swimming pool where a woman is talking on her cellphone as she paces beside it. She speaks about the amount of work she has been putting into the release of a new product for a company, slowly losing her cool and threatens the person on the phone if things are not done her way and when they seem to agree she ends the call and then enters the swimming pool. As she begins to swim, something follows her underneath the water which cannot be seen, but leaves ripples in the water as it chases after her. Before she can exit the pool on the far side, her body is pulled repeatedly back into the water but she manages to pull herself from whatever had hold of her and sits on the edge of the pool to find that her legs have been ripped from her body and she screams.

After the opening credits, Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) are seen at Dyson's home talking about what has happened with Bo since she returned with Rainer. Dyson is angry at himself for allowing Bo to return to the Death Train by herself, saying that he should have protected her. Lauren tells Dyson: "She doesn't want our protection Dyson, she doesn't even want to see us." Dyson tells Lauren that Bo isn't "thinking straight" and Lauren comments that it might be a possession or a spell, but she would need to examine Bo to know what exactly is going on. Dyson then decides to find Bo and bring her in, but Lauren reminds Dyson again that Bo "locked us out" and in anger Dyson shatters a beer bottle he was holding as Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) enters carrying a tray of coffee and comments: "Annnnnd we're breaking things. Giant coffees! Come and get them! Lauren wonders "who could possibly need that much caffeine" and Kenzi replies: "Us. We. We're taking a case." Lauren asks what Kenzi is talking about and Kenzi explains that a woman lost her legs swimming in her company pool. Lauren asks the company name, Kenzi replies "Alaria Tech Biometrics. Like, I Robot shit." Lauren explains to Kenzi that "Bo is our only case at the moment Kenz" but Kenzi answers: "Yeah, but Bo's made it quite clear that she wants us off her case. So she said she would talk to us tomorrow when she's ready. Tamsin's resting, recovering so I packed a weekend bag. We're going to give Bo some elbow room." Lauren asks how they can trust Rainer and Kenzi tells Lauren that they don't and that she is not happy about what has happened with Bo as she: "Has a new guy come along, drops her friends, classic suckage. We gotta trust our girl. Respect Bo's decision." As Kenzi finishes, the woman that lost her legs enters the room in a wheelchair and thanks Lauren, Dyson and Kenzi for helping her. Kenzi offers the coffee to Lauren and Dyson, adding: "Grab a coffee, don't be shy" and they do.

Elsewhere, Bo is at home sitting and thinking as Rainer enters the room wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. He asks Bo if she is alright and Bo replies: "I need to understand. What if this was a mistake? I want to trust you." Rainer replies: "I never imagined I would be on this physical plane again." Bo talks about having to go back "willingly" to the train to free Rainer and she notes that she did, also becoming Dark Fae for him as well, calling it "impossible" but is unsure about whatever they have just done in the here and now. Rainer tells Bo it was "Just as necessary" and then continues: "Kenzi, Dyson, Lauren and Trick... I'm sorry..." Bo interrupts: "Just need time. And so do I." Rainer suggests that Bo said when she remembered she would talk to them, but Bo replies that the time isn't right to do so, explaining: The memories are back, the feelings, but now that we're here in the real world. Together in my world. I need to understand. Really understand." Rainer then offers Bo his hand, which she does and the scene ends with the camera focusing on a group of candles which fades into Bo's arrival on the Death Train.

The flashbacks to the Train begin with Bo opening a door as she enters the train with the Wanderer song playing in the background. Bo looks at someone there and calls out: "You have harassed my friends. Stalked and kidnapped me. And you just blew up my favourite pub." Bo then pulls a knife and points it at Rainer, adding: "So let's get to it Wanderer." Rainer turns around to look at Bo and then sighs: "Be still my heart. Another brunette." He then kicks a nearby record player as he adds: "I'm so sick of this song." Bo asks who he is and is ignored as Rainer stops the record player and looks for another piece of music to play. As he does so, Bo rants about her arriving "via black smoke" and that she wants an explanation. Rainer replies: "Well sweetheart you've got two choices. You can stay and I can pretend to court you before I get bored with you and send you on your way. Two, you can get off at the next stop where you will forget everything." Rainer then places another record on the player and starts the record player again. Bo stops the player and tells him: "There's option three. You tell me why you kidnapped me." Rainer explains: "I don't know why you are here. Seriously I don't. Next question." Bo asks: "Why go through all of this trouble just to send me away?" Rainer answers: "If you wanted some epic battle, some battle of wits, some... sweeping romance you're on the wrong train. Nothing to see here, move it along." There is a long pause and then Rainer calls out: "Handmaiden" and the maid (Linzee Barclay) seen in previous episodes on the train appears. Rainer calls out to her: "Take ah..." and snaps his fingers at Bo who answers "Bo. My name is Bo." Rainer continues: "Take Bo to her chambers. She'll be getting off at the next stop if she knows what's good for her." He then ignores Bo and the handmaiden, instead having a drink.

Back with Lauren, Dyson and Kenzi, Lauren offers a glass of water to the woman (later named as Diana (Karen Cliche)), who refuses. Dyson comments that the woman's "scent is faint, but you are Fae." She claims to be an orphaned Pixie, raised by humans, calling it random and now having her legs taken is "inconvenient." Lauren comments: "That's one way to put it." Dyson suggests that where the crime happened would suggest that it was an "inside job" and asks about what the company the woman works for does. She tells Dyson: "I'm handed a product and I market it. How it's actually made is a mystery." She then suggests that someone named Darren Claire would be someone to investigate as he is the head of her company's product development, claiming he has secrets. She thanks them all again for their help and Kenzi replies that she appreciates the woman's "Tahiti sunset manicure" and noting that she is "a Tahiti sunrise girl myself." Kenzi then asks how they will get into the company and find out what happened. The woman explains that she has created two temporary positions in the company. Dyson suggests that he and Kenzi go undercover as he has been training Kenzi as a Shadow Thief. Kenzi comments: "Check your panties" and then pulls a pair from her pocket asking if anyone is missing some. Lauren grabs them from Kenzi and tells her that she "has to stop doing that" before walking away with them. Dyson looks at Lauren and tells her: "I did not teach her to do that." The woman suggests that Kenzi will "fit in" the mailroom, which makes Kenzi comment: "Offended. Moving on." The woman then turns to Dyson and tells him that he will be an efficiency consultant. She also warns that the building has a heat sensor security system and that if either of them get "flustered or nervous" that security will know. She gives them a means to monitor themselves however which should help them to "blend in."

The scene then switches to inside the company were Dyson is seen pushing a mail cart through the office, every woman in the office looking at him as he passes them by, and Kenzi is seen in an office wearing a flame red power suit. Kenzi comments: "Can you believe that Diana got our roles wrong?" Dyson comments "shocking" and Kenzi moans "What? I never get to wear a suit!" Dyson then tosses a package at Kenzi and comments: "Here's your mail working girl" before moving on through the office. Dyson winces and asks, seemingly to no one "What's that noise?" Lauren is then seen washing out a garbage bin at Dyson's place and explains: "Sorry! I was just eliminating some potentially harmful bacteria. You know e coli, salmonella, that kind of thing." Lauren asks what they see and Kenzi's answer is: "We're in a yogurt commercial" as she opens the mail that Dyson gave her. Dyson asks how the heat monitor is working and Kenzi replies: "Looks like I'm the hottest one around. I like this gadget." as she does so, a security guard walks past her door and looks in before continuing on. Dyson warns Kenzi to be calm otherwise security will be alerted before telling Kenzi that he is going to Darren Claire's office to deliver his mail. Dyson is stopped before he can enter the office by Darren's assistant Tad (Matthew Lemche) who demands the mail that Dyson is attempting to deliver. Dyson drops the mail and as he picks it off the floor places something on it before handing it to Tad. Tad asks: "Aren't you a little unkept for a corporate setting?" Dyson replies: "Aren't you a little nasal to be answering phones?" As Dyson walks away, Kenzi comments: "Ouch Dyson 1, Man Drescher zero." Dyson asks if the "heat bandage" he put on the mail will work and Lauren tells Dyson that it is. Kenzi attempts to leave her office to follow it, but she looks down the hallway to see the security guard that had been looking at her earlier loitering nearby. Lauren tells Kenzi that she needs to get into the air vents to follow the mail and Kenzi answers that she will use a camera her cousin gave her to distract the guard, but Dyson does not like the idea and instead grabs the guard and pulls him away, knocking him out before continuing on his mail run. Kenzi then tells them: "Okay, I'm getting my vent on, but if this goes Aliens, I am Sigourney Weavering out of there" as she looks at an overhead vent. Another vent is shown in a darkened room opening, Kenzi's legs dangling out before she drops her shoes to the floor and then follows them a moment later, moaning in pain as she drops to the floor. Lauren asks if Kenzi is alright and she replies: "That was way more graceful than it sounded I swear." Dyson asks what Kenzi sees and she answers: "Legs. Lots and lots of legs."

Returning from a commercial break, Kenzi looks around the room she is in which contains several chambers that have legs floating within them. There is a loud thump and Kenzi hides thinking that someone is there with her, but it turns out to be the mail being dropped down a chute and landing in a collection tray. Kenzi walks over to look at the pile of mail and removes one envelope and opens it. She comments that the envelope contains medical bills for Ted, Darren's assistant in the "six-figure" range. Lauren asks what he is being treated for, but Kenzi cannot pronounce the words and instead sends Lauren a picture. At the same time, Dyson has arrived at the pool where Diana lost her legs and is taking pictures of it as well. Lauren sees an odd plant in one of the pictures and asks Dyson to bring has a sample of it, commenting that it might be aquatic in nature. Dyson replies: "Flowers for my favourite doctor? Coming right up." Kenzi comments: "Okay... Playful banter between duelling ex's." Dyson dips his hand into the pool and tastes the water. He then comments: "This is a salt water pool." Opening a filter trap, he finds what appears to be a pearl which makes Kenzi call dibs on it, saying that if it isn't evidence she wants it.

Returning to Bo's flashbacks on the train, she is seen trying to open a window in the room she is in, but cannot do so. The Handmaiden enters and asks if she is interrupting but before she can continue, Bo attacks her, pressing a knife against the Handmaiden's throat and demands that she help Bo escape. The Handmaiden explains to Bo that the next stop is not for three days and that if she jumps from the train before then she will "evaporate" and if Bo leaves the train when it is stopped without an elemental to help her she will "get transcendental sickness" and die. When Bo pauses, the Handmaiden asks if she can help Bo "freshen up." Bo releases her and the Handmaiden places a gown on a nearby bed, telling Bo that it is in her size and she will look "ravishing." Bo replies that she isn't "into looking ravishing for someone that kidnapped me" and is told that she shouldn't "look at it that way" Bo calls Rainer "pathetic" but the Handmaiden insists that Rainer is "a great man" and that Bo should "give him a chance. Give us all a chance. Believe it or not we need you." She then hands Bo a card inviting her to dinner with The Wanderer and the Handmaiden tells Bo, for the first time, that The Wanderer's name is Rainer. She also adds as she leaves: "And you do look hungry."

Returning to Lauren, she is examining the pearl that Dyson found. Dyson asks why Lauren isn't doing her research at her "new Dark digs" and Lauren replies: "I wanted to be here with you guys close to all of the action." Lauren then asks: "Has Bo called pool boy?" and is told that she has not. Dyson asks Kenzi if Bo has called her and Kenzi replies that she has not, but they have to have faith in Bo. An employee attempts to get Kenzi's attention but she waves him off as she listens to what Lauren has found. Lauren declares that the pearl isn't a pearl, it is in fact a crystallized salt deposit. Dyson looks concerned and asks if Lauren said crystallized salt deposit to which Lauren asks: "Can that sentence be taken for some other sentence?" Dyson curses and then tells Kenzi to get out as fast as she can. Lauren asks what they are facing, asking if it is a flesh eater, Kenzi asking if it is Sharknado, but Dyson answers: "Worse. Mermaids." Kenzi looks shocked and surprised as she spins around in her chair and gasps: "Mermaids!"

After yet another commercial,

Questions in this Episode

• Why did Bo tell her long time friends to not contact her? What was the reason for doing so? It is Rainer using some kind of mind control on her?

Answers in this Episode

• The opening scene of Bo and Rainer, both being covered in blood was not in sequence with the rest of the episode's events. It actually falls between Bo and Rainer killing the Una Mens and Trick arriving to see Bo and asking her not to kill them.
• Bo has told her friends not to contact her and has had Rainer move in with her.
