Plot

Short Summary

Dyson asks Bo and Tamsin to go undercover at a High School to help investigate the Fae cult he has been tracking which seem to be connected to the death of a football player, Bo as a cheerleading coach and Tamsin as a cheerleader. The three possessed humans are found to be behind the death and feed upon the emotions of the crowd at the football game for an unknown purpose, but Bo fails to stop their plan and suffers an injury that does not heal. It is found that one of the players is a descendant of Hercules and through this realization, Trick comes to the conclusion that the three humans are possessed by Ancients, who Trick describes as being the most powerful of Fae. Seeing that Bo has found out about them and seeing Bo as a threat to their plans, the three Ancients decide to move their plans forward as the episode comes to a close, their future plans unrevealed.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a recap of the previous episode including: Bo calling Cassie, trying to find her, then Seymour being told that Cassie had been missing for over 12 hours, then Bo and Tamsin are shown entering Cassie's apartment and seeing blood everywhere. Trick is shown talking about his ledger of Fae names, then Iris is shown stealing the book and Dyson is shown with Vex and Mark asking if either of them know where the ledger is. Cassie is shown waking up in Lauren's clinic, telling Lauren that she took our her own eyes. Bo is shown holding the card from her father, saying that her father is Hades and he is trying to use her for something as she looks at the gift her father sent her.

The episode opens with an image of a woman dressed in white turning the crank on the side of the box that Bo's father sent her while music from a music box plays. The camera pans around her and then finally reveals that it is Lauren (Zoie Palmer) who is turning the crank. Lauren smiles and then Bo (Anna Silk) is shown awaking from her nightmare with a start. Bo calls out Lauren's name in confusion, turning to look at who is in bed with her and finds Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) there instead of Lauren. Tamsin tells Bo she had a weird dream about driving her truck, Bo there with her, and Tamsin really wanting a burger but every place they went to was closed. Bo tells Tamsin: "Sounds terrifying." Tamsin replies: "It was.", then kisses Bo and comments that she is hungry. Bo gets out of bed and tells Tamsin: "Why don't I make us some breakfast? Half Captain Crunch, half Lucky Charms?" As Bo leaves, Tamsin calls out: "I love that you know how I like it" and Bo replies: "That's what roomies are for."

The scene switches to a football stadium where Dyson () is shown entering a crime scene with Mark (Luke Bilyk) following closely. Mark asks if Clay Jonas is there and Dyson replies: "I thought I told you to stay in the car." When Mark tries to make a bet with Dyson that Clay will be picked first in the player's draft, Dyson tells him: "This is a crime scene Mark, not exactly the place for an autograph." Seeing a body on the floor, Mark asks if it is a football player he knows of and then seems shocked that it is and that he is dead. As Mark prattles on, Dyson notices next to a pool of blood a similar mark to that he put together from the three dead human bodies of the previous episode. Mark asks what the mark is and Dyson replies: "It is a triskele. A triple spiral." Dyson then takes a picture of the triskele and then removes it using a towel. Mark comments: "I thought you said we weren't supposed to touch anything?" Dyson turns Mark away from the crime scene, leading him away as he answers: "I said you're not supposed to touch anything." As they leave, the victim's blood is seen flowing out of the puddle and recreating a similar looking triskele once more.

After the abbreviated opening, Dyson, Lauren, Tamsin and Bo are seen at the Dal Riata talking about the events that have occurred. Dyson gives XXX a picture of the dead football player and notes that he was killed the night before, being beaten to death and suggesting that the Far cult he has been tracking is involved somehow. Bo is confused and asks why a Fae cult would want to kill a human football player. Tamsin suggests that is it because the player was a "high profile target" and when asked if she knows the player, Tamsin replies with his name, Jack Marshal, his position on the team, and that he was supposed to be the number one pick in the draft in the coming week. Bo comments: "I never knew you were such a sports fan" and Tamsin replies: "I'm not, but he's hot. I mean not you hot but... hot." Lauren notes that the three original victims were all "in the correctional system" and the football player isn't. Asking Dyson what the connection is he reveals that all of the victims had parts of, or the entire symbol on their bodies. Dyson describes the triskele as being a "symbol of death and reincarnation. It's used by end of days cults." Dyson then puts the three images taken of the marks on each of the original three bodies together to make the triskele and places his phone with the triskele in blood beside it. Dyson comments that he believes that "something larger is at play here" and then suggests their next step is to get closer to the football team and to look for further clues. Tamsin comments that they "might look suspicious at a football practise" but Bo's solution is that they go undercover as cheerleaders. Tamsin agrees and when she notes that cheerleaders are recruited for professional teams as well, Lauren is surprised by this. Tamsin then names several NFL cheerleading teams including the Laker Girls, Buffalo Jills and the New Orleans Sensations. When everyone looks at Tamsin she explains: "I have a novelty calendar subscription." Bo comments: "Well bust out your pom-poms TamTam cause it's time to flirt some intel out of a bunch of horny linebackers." When Tamsin agrees, Dyson asks: "Tamsin? A cheerleader?" Tamsin replies: "You don't think I can't dupe a bunch of girls who think clapping is a sport?" Dyson comments: "Well you don't exactly scream perky." which makes Lauren snicker, then add: "I... um... concur." Tamsin replies: "Well, you know what I think?" before cheering: "Gimme a D, gimme a Y, gimme a... suck my balls." and then walks away in disgust before Bo smiles and follow her out of the Dal Riata.

The scene then shifts back to the football stadium where Tamsin, dressed as a cheerleader, and Bo, looking like a coach, are seen walking towards the football cheerleading team as they practise, Tamsin stumbling at one point and Bo catching her before she fell to the ground. As they approach the cheerleaders, Tamsin comments: "I can smell their insecurity from here." Bo replies: "I think it's Ou de Taylor Swift." When Tamsin comments that she "used to beat up girls like this in high school" Bo reminds Tamsin that "now you're one of them so big smile!" Bo then calls out to the cheerleaders and introduces herself and Tamsin as being from the Valcity Valkyries and looking to recruit a new member of their cheerleading team. When one of the cheerleaders ask about Tamsin being there, Bo covers for Tamsin saying that she is from elsewhere and will be competing as well. When a comment is made about Tamsin being "too tall" for a cheerleader, Tamsin starts to become angry with them and Bo has to draw Tamsin away for a moment. When Bo asks Tamsin not to alienate the team, Tamsin answers: "She started it" and asked Bo if she can "kick her boney little ass." Bo reminds Tamsin that she is undercover and to deal with things before they return back to the cheerleaders again, Tamsin commenting: "I could snap her neck and feel no remorse" and Bo replying: "Yes. I have no doubt." When Bo then asks who wants to demonstrate first, Tamsin volunteers, which shocks and surprises Bo. Bo starts to suggest something "simple" but the head cheerleader Brinkley (Anna Hopkins) calls out "Round off double back hand spring back tuck" which Bo agrees to without seeming to understand what that move is exactly. Tamsin agrees, walks into position, and then preforms the move exactly, being applauded for her efforts by the team. Tamsin approaches Brinkley and comments: "You're up Brink-truck" and when Tamsin is told not to touch her, Tamsin comments: "Whatever." Brinkley tells Tamsin: "You want to see how it's really done? Front flip, round off, triple twist." Tamsin then uses her Fae power on Brinkley and asks if she really thinks "you can stick that triple twist?" Brinkley then rushes away in a panic while Tamsin turns around and walks back to Bo with a smile before picking up her pom-poms, Bo commenting "That's just great."

Bo then speaks with one of the male cheerleaders, Derek Finley (Aren Buchholz) who calls himself the "token guy" on the cheerleading team. When Bo comments that he's lucky to be surrounded by girls, he replies: "Not when their cycles are aligned I'm not." Bo asks about the murder and Derek suggests that Brinkley might have been responsible as "if you steal one of her Biore nose strips, you're basically dead." When Bo asks if he knew the murdered player he replies: "I kept my distance. He's a bit of a bully. Especially to Clay." Bo turns to look at the football team, which reveals Clay (Dwain Murphy) to be the quarterback. Bo notices that Clay is not wearing a memorial armband and Derek explains "they weren't exactly BFFs." He further explains that Clay has been getting a lot of attention with the upcoming draft and as such Jake, the murdered player was "harsh" to him and causing Clay problems during games. When Bo suggests that Clay murderer Jake, Derek insists that Clay would not, but adds that Jake "had a lot of enemies." When Bo comments the Ferek doesn't seem to be a fan of Jake's either, he explains that Jake broke his nose the previous year and "it took two surgeries to make it look this good." When Bo asks where Derek was when Jake was killed, Derek pauses and asks why Bo is asking about that, but Bo brushes her question off as her "just wondering." The football team is then shown to run a play and Clay is sacked very hard, crashing to the ground and not moving. Derek rushes towards Clay as do other players and cheerleaders while Bo watches from a distance. Tamsin rushes up to Bo and comments: "I don't think he's getting up." Bo replies: "This team is not having a good week." Clay is shown twitching on the ground and then he jumps up, seemingly uninjured and walks away. Tamsin comments: "There's no way a human could do that." When Bo comments that she thinks Clay isn't human, Tamsin wonders if he might be a Fae cult member and suggests that while she goes to talk to other team members Tamsin gets "up close and personal with QB1." Tamsin walks away, commenting: "Bring it on."

Questions in this Episode

• So what is the deal with Mark? First wants nothing to do with Dyson, then seems to be living at Dyson's place and tagging along to crime scenes. A change in attitude or something else?
• How exactly does the triskele return after Dyson wipes it away? If the body was removed and the blood was being cleaned up, would the symbol keep returning?

Answers in this Episode

• The stadium which was used for exterior shots during this episode is Birchmount Stadium, which is part of Birchmount Park at 93 Birchmount Road in Scarborough. You can find out more about this location here.
• It appears that Mark is tagged along with Dyson to crime scenes, using Dyson's gym and possibly living at Dyson's place.
• The symbol that has been appearing in the series during the Fifth Season is called a triskelion or triskele and is usually a motif consisting of three interlocked spirals, three bent human legs, or three bent/curved lines extending from the center of the symbol. You can find out more about this symbol here.
• A continuity error in the episode appears when Dyson reveals the image of the triskele he took to Bo, Lauren and Tamsin. The image is not the same as the one he was shown taking earlier, nor does it match the last image of the triskele seen before the opening credits rolled.
• Dyson describes the triskele as being a "symbol of death and reincarnation." He also notes that the triskele is used by end of days cults.
• Tamsin claimed to beat up perky girls when she was in high school.
