Plot

Short Summary

Lauren reveals to Bo that Hades helped her become a Conduit which brings some stress to their relationship and Lauren seems to be losing her memories, but the reason is unclear. Bo discovers that Zee has not been banished and Hades reveals what he did which allowed this to happen. Bo encounters Zee, but discovers it is actually Elizabeth, her human host, and she does not know where Zee has gone. Prior to this, Zee gave her shield to Hephaestus who uses it to create a weapon for Bo to use against Hades. Bo is forced to act as a lawyer in a courtroom in order to see Hephaestus and eventually passes the test when she answers her own truth. While in Hephaestus’ armoury, she encounters Zee who has possessed Lauren’s body. Hera awakes in Lauren’s clinic, pretending to be Kevin in order to escape and does so meeting with Zee in Hephaestus’ armoury to confront Bo. Zee leaves Lauren’s body after sending a message to Bo, returning to Elizabeth’s when Lauren suffers side effects, and after warning Bo about Hades, banishes herself and Hera, freeing their human hosts.

In the aftermath, Bo receives her weapon, a horseshoe, but does not know what to do with it. Dyson and Alycia are living together and their relationship is growing, but Dyson has issues dealing with it, knowing that his true love is Bo. After Zee and Hera depart, Alycia returns to Kevin and Dyson ends their relationship. Lauren takes an antidote, ending her being a Conduit, and admits to Bo that she lost herself in what she became. She then breaks off their relationship, claiming that her being human and Bo being Fae makes it impossible and she will not allow Bo to suffer when she passes on. Bo confronts Hades, blaming him for all that has transpired, but he claims that he only wants Bo to be happy, which she does not believe. Bo then finds herself becoming intimate with Tamsin one more, but as they kiss, Bo’s hair begins to turn white.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a recap of the previous episode including: Bo and Lauren kissing, Bo asking in a voice over why Lauren did not tell Evony that she was a Conduit, followed by Evony confronting Lauren and asking why she did not return her to being Fae when she had the chance, Lauren replying that she wanted to test her serum, Evony then asking who Lauren was testing the serum on. Trick is then shown telling Tamsin about the last time Hades was vulnerable, that being when he was banished to Tartarus. Stacey and Tamsin are then seen at the Valkyrie Academy, Tamsin commenting that the portal to Valhalla would only open for teachers. Acacia is then seen entering Tamsin's classroom in the past followed by Tamsin telling Acacia that Hades wants to build an army, Acacia telling Tamsin to be the General that Hades wants. Hades is then seen leaving his isolation cell at will with Tamsin's voice warning him that she will protect her friends followed by Bo wondering what game Hades is playing and Tamsin telling Bo there is only one way to find out.

The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) in the shower who is soon joined by Lauren (Zoie Palmer), the two being intimate for a time before kissing and then Lauren feeding on Bo's Chi for a moment before Bo asks: "Is this really happening?", Lauren saying nothing before they kiss again, but the second time Lauren does not seem to feed on Bo. The two are then seen walking through Bo's home, Lauren commenting that she is hungry, adding: "Does Chi sucking always give a bad case of the munchies?" Bo does not reply to this but when Lauren asks if she wants pizza, Bo tells Lauren that he already called for pizza shortly before. Lauren brushes this off, claiming to be "kidding" about doing so. Bo answers: "Ha" and Lauren asks: "What? You don't think I have a future in standup?" Bo replies: "I wouldn't put it past you, I never imagined you'd be Fae." Lauren tells Bo that she isn't quite Fae, and only is if she is touching one. Bo asks what happens if Lauren does touch a Far for too long and Lauren jokes: "I explode into confetti. It's actually quite spectacular, want to see?" but then tells Bo that she cannot give an answer to the question, only promising to do some testing to find out. Bo then comments: "On yourself? Isn't that what guinea pigs are for?" Lauren promises she is taking "every precaution" but Bo notes: "and I am every bit worried." Lauren then tries to tell Bo not to worry, starting to explain that "after we found the TTV..." Bo interrupts at this point and asks who else was involved, which forces Lauren to admit that Hades had assisted her in finding the answer she needed, but also adding that she would have come up with the answer on her own eventually. Bo tells Lauren that Hades is planning "something" and is concerned that Lauren being changed into a Conduit might be part of his plans. Lauren brushes this concern off explaining: "I will be one step ahead." Lauren then tries to calm Bo's concerns telling her: "I know this is overwhelming for you, but this is a step in the right direction. The forever direction." Bo again warns Lauren that Hades is not to be trusted, but Lauren tells Bo: "It feels like the issue is that you don't trust me." At this point their conversation is interrupted by a knock at the door which Bo goes to answer, commenting: "That must be the pizza."

The scene then shifts to what appears to be a blacksmith's shop. Zee () is seen entering, carrying the Aegis Shield which she gives to the man working there warning him: "Don't fail me." He replies: "Sundown tomorrow it will be done." and Zee leaves a moment later after giving him a harsh look. Moments later, Zee is seen leaving an elevator and encountering a woman (Nengi Adoki) that recognizes her human host. Zee sighs: "Not again." then asks: "So, are you a screamer or the type that is going to get all emotional?" When the woman comments: "I thought you were dead?" Zee answers: "No." then snaps the woman's neck, walking past the fallen body and adding: "That's you."

After the opening credits, Alycia (Lisa Marcos) is seen making breakfast at Dyson's home, Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) entering moments later and sitting at the table with her. In the midst of eating, Dyon's phone rings and after speaking on the phone for a moment comments to Alycia: "Work. Something's come up." Alycia asks with a smile if Dyson wants his coffee to go, Dyson picking up his mug and replying: "No. I'll take it like this." After telling Alycia he will see her that evening, Dyson moves to leave, but Alycia stops him to hand over his wallet that Dyson left behind. Dyson thanks her, commenting: "I'm an idiot" before the two share a kiss without thinking about it, then pausing a moment, looking at each other before Dyson apologizes, Alycia telling Dyson: "No. It's my fault." Dyson ends the moment by telling Alycia they will talk later and then leaves, Alycia turning away and smiling as he does so.

The scene then moves to the Dal Riata where Dyson is showing surveillance camera footage of Zee killing the woman to Bo, Trick (Richard Howland) and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten). Dyson informs them all that there were no witnesses to the event while Bo cannot believe that Zee has returned as she: "saw Zee vanish with the painting just like Jack (Hades) said she would." Tamsin sighs: "There's your answer" and Bo replies: "Jack lied to me." Tamsin comments that Zee and Hades must be working together, Trick adding: "Brothers in arms together again." Bo decides to confront Hades which brings Dyson to comment: "You don't think he's going to lie again?" Bo replies: "Oh I'm pretty sure he will which is why we need to play ignorant to the fact that Zee is back." Tamsin smiles as she muses: "The old he can't know that you know cause if he knows that you know he'll know. Yeah." After everyone gives Tamsin an odd look she adds: "You know?" Trick wonders why Zee was at the courthouse and Tamsin points out that it is the place were the Ancients came back to Earth through the elevator crash which provided them with host bodies. Bo comments there has to be something special about the courthouse, saying that it "must be sitting on something big." Tamsin muses: "Lucky courthouse" which makes Trick chuckle and Tamsin explains: "I swear that must be my inside voice." Trick tells the group he will: "Dig up any archaeological history I can find on the courthouse" as Bo sighs: "First stop, old man liar."

Lauren is then seen attending to Hera's (Noam Jenkins) unconscious body with a nurse (Elisa Atristain-Garcia), checking for any kind of reaction from touching the soles of his feet, but has no reaction at all from doing so. After ordering some further tests, Lauren asks for test results from a "Patient X" and the nurse informs Lauren that she has been carrying them under her arm for some time. Lauren laughs about this, then looks over the results, a concerned expression coming to her as she does so, commenting to herself: "Early stage Parkinson's?" The nurse adds: "The patient's cognitive decline is increasing rapidly. It's not looking good." Lauren sighs: "No. It isn't." When the nurse asks who the patient is, Lauren replies: "No one." and then walks away, Bo entering and approaching Lauren moments later. Lauren begins the conversation by telling Bo that she is not "in the mood to talk about last night." When Bo tells Lauren she is there to question Hades, Lauren asks: "When you need his help it's okay, but when I do..." Bo tells Lauren: "This is different. Because we are talking about you. The woman that I love. How can someone so smart... I just don't get why you are so willing to give up who you are to be Fae." Lauren sighs: "No, I guess you don't." and then starts to leave, but Bo asks Lauren to talk about what is going on, Lauren telling her: "What else is there to say?" and then leaving the room.

The scene then moves to Hades (Eric Roberts) in his isolation cell making a sketch of Bo as she stands outside glaring at him. Hades tells Bo: "I only brought the horse to the water, I had no part in making her drink." Bo answers: "Horse shit." but Hades continues: "I admit I helped her with the solution, but I had no idea she was going to use it on herself." Bo tells Hades: "You are messing with someone's life." Hades tells Bo: "She wanted this more than anything else in the world." Hades then asks about Zee, wondering why Bo hasn't asked about her and Bo replies: "Why did you lie to me?" Hades explains: "I told you the painting would banish Zee, I never told you to where." Bo sighs: "So you played me." Hades tells Bo he protected her from Zee using the painting against her. There is the sound of something breaking in the distance and when Bo looks at Hades he comments: "Don't look at me." Bo considers him a moment, then goes off to see what made the noise. Bo then discovers Zee laying on the floor, gasping and looking frightened. When Bo picks up a knife and threatens her, Zee scrambles to her feet and cowers, asking who Bo is. Bo does not believe this, thinking it an act of some kind and asks: "Cut the crap Zee, what are you doing here?" Zee continues to be frightened, crying out that she does not know what Bo is talking about. Bo approaches closer and then whispers: "Elizabeth?"

After a commercial break, Elizabeth is seen at the Dal Riata eating while Trick, Bo, Tamsin and Dyson watch her, Tamsin commenting: "I thought I could eat." Bo comments: "Feeding off adoration must not feed the human appetite." When Trick asks if they are sure it is not Zee, Dyson replies: "There's no scent of Fae in there, it's all human." Bo wonders where Zee went and then goes to talk to Elizabeth in an attempt to find that out, Tamsin, Trick and Dyson following along to watch. Bo asks Elizabeth what she remembers about Zee controlling her body and Elizabeth explains: "I tried to block most of it out" adding that she hummed old Madonna songs and tried not to see what Zee was doing most of the time, and thinking about her fiancé, which gives her pause for a moment, then she whispers: "I... She... killed him didn't she?" Bo tells Elizabeth that she can't be hurt, but they need to figure out what Zee was doing in the courthouse. When Elizabeth says she can't remember, Dyson shows Elizabeth a picture of the woman that Zee killed, Elizabeth identifying her as Claire. Elizabeth starts to hyperventilate and panic over this before Tamsin tells her: "Okay, what happened to you is horrible there's no denying that it sucks to be used against your will. But it's time to be a hero and not a victim, so maybe you should stop crying and start remembering." When everyone looks at Tamsin she shrugs: "What? Tough love." Elizabeth calms down enough to remember a smell she describes as "musty and hot, not Florida hot, fire in my face hot and... banging. Like someone hammering on a furnace. I think there was something about a shield? I think she was giving it to someone?" Trick comments: "Aegis shield." Trick then opens a book he has been carrying and explains that Zee likely saw Hephaestus, also calling him Hepha, adding that he is the son of Zeus and Hera. Trick explains that Hepha is the forger of weaponry for the Ancients. Dyson wonders why Zee would give up her shield of protection and Trick explains that "Hepha grants only one weapon per God. Zeus could be trading it in for something stronger, more deadly." Bo comes to to conclusion they need to search the courthouse, but Trick explains that to see Hepha, one must "be granted an audience with one of the Erinyes, the ministers of Justice. Tisiphone, Megaera and..." Elizabeth asks: "Not Judge Megaera?" adding: "Everyone knows her." When Bo asks what Megaera is like. Elizabeth replies: "I don't use the Lord's name in vein often but she is one mean son-of-a-you-know-what." When Dyson comments: "You didn't use the Lord's name in vein", Elizabeth replies: "Exactly."

Bo and Tamsin are then seen walking through the courthouse, Bo calling Lauren's phone and leaving a message for Lauren to call her back. Tamsin comments when the call is over: "Makes me glad I'm single." When Bo starts to apologize, Tamsin assures Bo that it's fine and she is "very happy for you and the Doc." When Bo asks if she is sure, Tamsin replies: "We're friends, we're not friends with benefits." Elizabeth then interrupts through earpieces that both Bo and Tamsin are wearing with a sound check and when Bo asks if she can hear them, Elizabeth replies: "This is so Mission Impossible!" After Tamsin tells Elizabeth to focus she describes Megaera as: "Elegant, like an older Kate Winslet in Titanic. Or you can always count on her statement necklace." When Bo asks for something more specific, Elizabeth adds: "She likes to eat her lunch under that super weird, super offensive painting." At that moment, from across the hall, Megaera (Mimi Kuzyk) is seen eating her lunch. Elizabeth also tells Bo to speak in short sentences and to use legalize in doing so. Bo comments: "I object. No, really, that's all I've got." When Elizabeth comments: "We should Roxanne this", Tamsin growls: "If she makes one more movie reference I'm cutting her off." When Bo asks: "Roxanne was a movie?" Elizabeth answers: "Oh come on! Steve Martin? Daryl Hanna? Cyrano De Bergerac?" At this point Bo and Tamsin approach Megaera and Bo greets her by saying hello, but Megaera says: "No." When Bo is confused, Megaera continues: "You don't just waltz over here Miss Dennis, interrupt my lunch, and ask for an audience with Hephaestus." Bo answers in a chastised voice: "No, of course not." After complimenting Megaera on her egg salad sandwich there is a pause while Megaera puts her lunch down and then tells Bo: "Okay. An audience is given only by proving oneself worthy." Bo asks: "What are we talking? Slay a dragon? Swallowing a centipede?" Megaera says nothing, but casually points to her side were a pair of doors have appeared out of thin air. When Bo moves to enter, Tamsin following, Megaera warns that only Bo is allowed to enter. Tamsin backs away as Megaera tells Bo: "Your test awaits you." Bo replies as she looks at the doors: "Will I get time to study?" and when she looks back to Megaera, she has vanished, leaving her lunch where she had been sitting behind. Tamsin tells Bo: "I'll be here if you need me." and then leaves as Bo turns to the doors and enters.

Once though the doors, Bo finds herself in a courtroom, Megaera the presiding Judge and the two parties appearing before her in the room waiting. Bo pauses to look at one of the parties who sighs: "Great. This is just what I needed. I really hope you are better than the last three lawyers. This business is my life. Don't screw it up for me." He then introduces himself as Phillip (Ennis Esmer) and offers his hand, but Bo excuses herself and approaches Megaera. Bo tells her: "I think there's been a mistake, I'm not a lawyer." Megaera replies: "Succeed for your client and you will be granted an audience. Fail and the only thing you'll be granted is a one-way ticket to Myth." Bo asks: "Please tell me that's an island in Greece." Megaera sighs and explains: "Myth is a realm of eternal stasis. Limbo? If you will." Bo asks: "Can't a girl cut a deal?" but Megaera tells Bo to take her seat as Megaera calls the court to session. As Bo walks away, she tells Elizabeth: "Hey Roxanne? You're on."
