Plot

Short Summary

Bo is invited to a party being held by the Ancients in her honour, but the purpose is not known. Bo confronts Zee who offers Bo freedom from her father and to stop Hades from using her to end the world. To prove this, Zee has Bo take a sip of the drink of prophesy and Bo sees the future which seems to show her father destroying the world and Bo agrees to help Zee stop Hades. Before this can happen, Mark and Iris go missing and it is discovered that Iris is more powerful than the other Ancients. Tamsin confronts Zee and then is struck by lightning, seemingly fatally. Iris takes Mark to see her vessel’s human parents, which goes wrong, and Iris kills the father and then the wife stabs Mark. Iris removes her bracelet which reveals she has the power to end life, and when Bo encounters Iris and touches her, Bo realizes that the vision was Iris ending life and not her father. Mark is rescued by Vex, who takes him to Lauren and Dyson who attempt to save Mark’s life. Bo looks for a way to stop Iris and Trick tells Bo of a mysterious box that can contain evil which Bo realizes is the birthday gift her father sent her. Zee and Bo fight over the box until Bo gains control of it. Zee warns Bo not to open the Box, or her father will walk the earth, telling Bo that she will release a great evil on the Earth. Bo has a vision of her father, who speaks riddles, and then Bo decides to open the box which opens with a flash of light as the episode ends.

Detailed Summary

The episode begins with a series of flashbacks to previous episodes including: Bo standing in the middle of the symbol the Ancients carved into a street, Lauren commenting "someone is trying to send us a message" and Bo saying that the Ancients were behind the attack. Bo commenting that her father is Hades and he is trying to use her for something as she reads the birthday card from her father and looks at the present he sent her. Iris asking Mark what he can do, Mark replying he is a shifter as Iris demonstrates her powers and then commenting that she serves her keepers. Tamsin watching Bo and Lauren in bed, Tamsin stating that she knows that Bo's heart is with her, not Lauren, then Tamsin leaving Bo. Hera attacks Dyson and then Zeus' lightning kills Eros as Bo, Lauren and Evony look on. Cassie is seen asking Zee to let her go, then Zee pushing her off the balcony to her death. Finally, Bo telling Trick that it is about time to meet the other side of their family.

The episode proper begins with Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) packing her things to leave with Bo (Anna Silk) following as they walk down the stairs in Bo's home, Bo telling Tamsin that she is "part of the team" and she can't just walk away, adding that she needs Tamsin. Tamsin throws her suitcase on the floor and comments: "That's really nice of you, but we both know it's not true. And I don't need you either." Finding a pair of leather pants, Tamsin wonders if they are Bo's but then throws them at her, telling Bo to keep them, adding: "I know you like to reuse old styles." Bo replies: "Fashion snark, is that where we are now?" Bo again asks Tamsin to talk to her about what's happened between them but Tamsin tells Bo: "We don't need to. I was upset and now I'm not. I realize there's no winning with you." When Bo asks what game they were playing, Tamsin tells her: "Doesn't matter where your body is, your heart will always be with her." Tamsin tells Bo that she and Lauren will always be a couple, even where they aren't together. After finishing packing, Tamsin then breaks the roll-along handle to her suitcase, curses, and then throws the handle away before picking up her suitcase and starting to leave. When Bo asks where she will go, Tamsin replies: "Wherever the universe takes me. Motel 6. And then wherever the universe takes me." Just before Tamsin walks out of the room, she pauses, reaches into a side pocket of her suitcase and hands Bo an envelope, telling Bo it came for her. Bo takes the envelope, then tells Tamsin: "I lost Kenzi. I don't want to lose you too." Tamsin quietly replies: "It's better this way" and then walks out the front door leaving Bo alone. After Tamsin leaves, Bo looks at the envelope, which is addressed to Bo Dennis, turns it over, and then sees that it is sealed with wax, an imprint of the Ancient's symbol embedded in it. Bo opens the envelope, removes a card and looks at it for a moment.

The card is revealed to say: "Com join us for a gathering. Libations and fun. Dress to impress or you will be turned away." It is then shown that Bo has travelled to the Dal Riata where she, Lauren (Zoie Palmer), Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) and Trick (Richard Howland) all have received the same invitation, Mark (Luke Bilyk) working nearby and Vex (Paul Amos) at the bar drinking. Lauren comments: "It's always nice to be popular." Vex comments: "Well, speak for yourself. I didn't get an invite did I?" Trick tells Vex that he should feel lucky and then wonders why the Ancients are having a party and why at this moment. Dyson muses: "Human sacrifices, murdering a football player", then Bo continues: "Mutilating the Oracles, a storm that almost wiped out the colony." Lauren wonders: "They need a palate cleanser?" Bo comments about the Ancients being somehow related to Bo's father and Bo believes that her father is behind everything that has happened. Trick asks about Bo's vision from the Oracles, and what her father said to her. Bo replies that it was all a "bunch of riddles" and then repeats: "The greatest evil is the greatest mercy." Dyson tells Bo that the only way to find out what is going on will be to attend the party and see for themselves. Dyson then tells Mark: "And we're going to have to get you a new suit." Dyson asks if Mark wants to go on his first mission while Vex looks on in concern as Mark agrees to go. Trick tells the group: "Mythology states that even the Ancients have an Achilles heel" and Bo replies that they will found out what that is and then end them. Bo then leaves, the others following her, but Vex stops Dyson and asks him if Mark is ready for what Dyson is asking him to do, adding that Mark has not shifted as yet. Dyson replies: "He's got to become a man sometime" and then leaves. Vex strikes up small talk with Mark and then tells Mark to call him if he needs backup. Mark jokes: "I'll call you if I get bored."

The scene then moves to an elevator where Bo, Lauren, Dyson and Mark are waiting, dressed up for the party. Mark comments: "I hope they have an open bar" but Dyson replies: "Except you won't be drinking" and Mark answers: "No alcohol. Right." Dyson then prompts: "And?" Mark quickly replies: "Keep your back to the wall. Know your exits." Dyson nods, then continues: "Trust your gut. If something is off, listen to it. If the plan changes..." Mark breaks in: "Roll with it. Got it." Lauren then comments: "I hate to be a buzzkill but are we going to talk about the possibility that this is a trap?" When no one answers, Lauren sighs "No." as the elevator bell rings and the doors open to a darkened space, no sounds save for the elevator music that continues to play. Dyson exits first, followed by Bo, Lauren and Mark tails behind. Lauren whispers: "Now are we going to talk about the possibility that this could be a trap?" The lights come on in the room which reveals a large number of Fae, the room decked out with balloons and several large signs that read: "Welcome Bo" as the assembled crowd cheers "Surprise!" As Bo looks around the room she comments, a bit stunned: "Okay. I need a drink."

Following the abbreviated opening title sequence, Iris (Shanice Banton) is in her room and asks Hera (Noam Jenkins) if the bracelet goes with the outfit she is wearing. Hera replies: "Don't be silly, it's a one of a kind, it goes with everything." Hera approaches Iris, asking if she cleansed her skin as asked, to which Iris promises that she did so. As Hera fixes Iris' lipstick, and comments that Zee likes to show Iris off, and that she shouldn't upset Zee. Iris replies: "Because she would yell at you." Hera then pushes Iris back onto her bed, commenting that Iris might not be ready for the party, but Iris begs Hera to allow her to attend. Hera relents, adding: "Come along my pet." When Iris comments that she should greet the guests, Hera tells her: "Can't wait till everyone sees how special you are." Hera then starts to leave the room but adds: "Oh, and get the guests to try the clam dip. Zee's trying out a new recipe and... it's been a whole thing."

Meanwhile at the party, Bo takes a drink from a waitress, but before she can try it, Lauren stops her, dips a test strip in the drink, and then tells Bo it's fine. Bo comments: "Forgot how much fun you are at parties." As the pair walk through the party, a guest tells Bo that it is a great party and she replies: "Thank you, that's right, the party's for me" and Lauren adding "and no one seems to know why." Bo tells Lauren that the party "reeks of my father" and Lauren wonders if whatever brought the Ancients to Earth also brought Hades, Bo's father, with them and Bo comments: "Greek gods are throwing me a party so anything is possible." Dyson, Mark and Trick then approach Bo and Lauren, Dyson telling Bo there is no sign of the Ancients so far, Trick commenting that the clam dip is "amazing" and there "seems to be a fair number of Fae here." Bo doesn't like that fact and is concerned that the Ancients are planning something, Lauren adding that they "want an audience" and Bo deciding that they will "give them a show." Dyson tells Bo that he is on "Hera duty. Soon as I see his smug little face." Lauren then offers Dyson a syringe with chemicals designed to "reduce the possibility of bug showers" adding "it's bug spray essentially." Mark asks why Lauren cannot turn the Ancients human as she did with Evony, which Lauren explains took months to accomplish and then begins to explain the process, but Dyson quickly interrupts her and takes the syringe with thanks. Trick then tells the group that he will circulate through the party and look for any "unusual activity" and "I'll be by the clam dip." Mark asks what he should do and Dyson explains that he should find Iris and try to get information from her about her parents, adding: "I'm glad you changed your mind about wanting to help." Mark replies: "United force right?" Dyson smiles as he walks away, adding: "Just show me you can take it seriously." Lauren tells Bo that she will try to get samples from the Ancients, and Bo replies that she will look for "our Hostess, assuming I can find her." Before Lauren can leave, Bo stops her and tells Lauren: "About what happened between us in the blackout..." but Lauren interrupts and tells Bo that she knows it was a one-time thing and not to worry about it. Bo stops Lauren from leaving and explains: "Here's the thing. I'm not. There's always going to be a reason for us not to be together and I don't want to put this off any longer." Lauren whispers: "Oh boy." and Bo asks: "Oh boy yes or oh boy no?" Before Lauren can reply, Bo's attention drifts off into the distance as Tamsin is nearby and when Lauren sees Tamsin, she comments: "Annnd we're back. Although it is a very nice back." referring to Tamsin who is wearing a backless dress. Bo tells Lauren they will "finish this later" and Lauren agrees that they will. Bo approaches Tamsin and comments: "I didn't realize you got an invitation" and when Tamsin turns to look at Bo she replies: "It's nice to see you too." Bo tells Tamsin she's glad that Tamsin is there and that they need her, Tamsin revealing that Dyson told her about "Operation Ancients go history" as she has a drink and tells Bo "I'm game." When Bo suggests that she shouldn't drink so much, Tamsin tells her: "Look, I'll play superhero with you tonight, but there's no way I'm not having fun while I do it."

Bo then enters another room where
