Plot

Short Summary

Bo recovers a Staff of Righteousness which had been stolen. Vex tries to make amends with the Morrigan but fails to do so. She plants a parasite on Vex which enters Bo, Dyson, and Tamsin changing their personalities and regressing them so their Fae powers no longer exist. Kenzi picks up the Staff to defend herself and cannot let go of it. The staff gives Kenzi Fae-like abilities, but Trick gives Kenzi a means to be free. Kenzi and Lauren come to odds over Bo, but manage to overcome this saving Bo and the others. Afterwards, Vex decides it is time to leave, and Hale confronts the Morrigan and warns her not to threaten the peace again.

Detailed Summary

The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) being held in a head lock by a much larger male Fae who demands that Bo turn over the photo she has of The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) in a compromising position from last season. Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) comes rushing towards the two carrying a rock in her hands, but trips and then slides through mud winding up underneath them both. She then punches the Fae between his legs and he releases Bo who then knocks him out with a part of a cinder block. After Kenzi celebrates her "assist", Bo and Kenzi drag the Fae away and Kenzi makes mention that this was the third time in the past week that Bo had been attacked by Dark Fae of different kinds including a two-headed Fae that "looked like Regis" and a hot dog vender that turned out to be a "fire-breathing frog." Kenzi then tells Bo that she can't take much more of these attacks and that Bo doesn't look too good either. Bo's answer is that she can take whatever The Morrigan sends her way. Kenzi asks about the injuries that Bo has had, noting that they have been healing very slowly and Bo tells her that she has only been intimate with Lauren which means that her healing abilities are severely curtailed. Bo then confronts Kenzi asking what she has against Lauren. Kenzi tells her that Lauren is: "bossy, territorial and controlling." Bo tells Kenzi that Lauren things Kenzi is: "immature, irresponsible and clinging." When Kenzi is shocked by this admission, Bo reminds Kenzi that she said the same things about herself. Kenzi's answer is that: "Yeah, but when I say it, it's adorable." Bo then explains to Kenzi that she loves Lauren and that Kenzi is a huge part of Bo's life and that: "In the battle of BFF and main squeeze, that I think it's time we called a truce." Kenzi isn't thrilled with the idea, and after Bo asks: "All those on Team Bo?" and they both raise their hands, Bo tells Kenzi that drinks are on her before walking away and Kenzi getting in one more kick to the Fae they just defeated as he lays unconscious in the mud.

The scene switches to The Morrigan's offices where the male Fae that Bo and Kenzi had defeated, called Bruce (Bob Archer) by the Morrigan, but who is called Steve, has reported to her. The Morrigan is not happy with him when he claims that Bo had an army, saying he is a worse liar than his brother Eric, again incorrect, the correct name is Dave apparently. She then allows him to live saying that if she hadn't had her nails just done she would "rip your beating heart from your chest." His answer is that she is too kind. The Morrigan then comments that Bo is starting to become a real problem and sits beside a locked box that begins to move and shake as she begins to unlock it adding that: "If Little Bo Bleep thinks she can play in the big leagues, let the games begin."

Following the opening credits, the scene shifts to Lauren looking over a medical file and listing off a huge number of tests that have been, apparently, done to someone. Vex (Paul Amos) interrupts asking that she: "wake me up when you get to S&M?" Lauren attempts to say something to Vex, but he stops her saying that she should "give it to me straight." She then tells him that there is nothing physically wrong with his arm, or his nervous system or anything else that she can find which would explain why his powers are no longer working. Lauren explains that there is no physical reason for Vex's "mesmeric impotence" as she scratches her head. Vex exclaims that he made her do that, but she tells him that she had an itch so it wasn't him, deflating his ego as she does so. Lauren suggests that Vex's problem might be psychological in nature and Vex take affront at this asking if she means he is: "a few ounces short of a pint?" Lauren's suggestion that Vex's condition is not uncommon for a Fae of his age only enrages Vex more and more until he tries to use his powers on Lauren again, shaking in the attempt, which does nothing. When Lauren offers a pamphlet on his condition, Vex retaliates with comments on Lauren and Bo's relationship, such as it will be a temporary relationship, and that Bo is the "Energizer SuccuBunny". He also suggests that Dyson could keep up with Bo and that Lauren cannot which eventually makes Lauren throw Vex out the door.

Vex then goes to the Dal Riata to drink his sorrows away and tell Trick (Richard Howland) about his misery, which he does as Trick works at cleaning a glass. When Vex suddenly realizes that Trick isn't actually listening to him, he yells at Trick that he is still talking to him, which results in Trick removing ear plugs and asking, in surprise: "Still?" When Vex continues, Trick turns away and goes back to his work. Elsewhere in the Dal Riata, Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) is playing pool while Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) is attempting to engage him to talk about a series of case files she has with him. Vex goes over to them and tries to start a conversation, but Dyson tells Vex that he won't buy him another drink and when Vex exclaims that he is offended, Tamsin tells Vex to go away explaining that they have been listening to Vex's story about the Light and Dark not wanting him for days on end and then also adding that Vex has no friends as well. Dyson commenting that it: "Sucks to be Vex." before pushing Vex to the side and he walks away. Bo then enters, looking over to Dyson who nods, and Tamsin just gives Bo a cold look before Bo continues on to talk to Trick. When she asks Trick what it up with Tamsin, Trick's answer is that: "She's just not feeling the love." When Bo asks why, Trick tells Bo that Tamsin thinks that Bo is a murderer, but then asks what Bo has been up to as he removes a smudge of dirt from Bo's chin. Bo attempts to tell Trick that the attacks from The Morrigan are nothing she can't handle and that the Light and Dark have "agreed to play nice." But Trick reminds Bo that unaligned means unprotected. She shows him her "insurance policy" she has which is the image of The Morrigan handcuffed to a bed under Bo's influence which Vex notices she has from across the room. Trick warns Bo that she needs to take a break from working for The Ash as Vex bumps into Bo and lifts Bo's phone from her.

The next scene is of Hale (K.C. Collins) talking to Bo, telling her that she angered The Morrigan and placed all that is going on with her actions. Bo questions Hale's experiment of partnering Dyson and Tamsin together, but Hale tells Bo that: "Cynicism like that has kept our two sides apart for centuries." When Hale asks why Bo cares so much about who Dyson is paired with, Bo's answer that she doesn't care isn't really accepted as the truth by Hale. He then offers Bo a "declaration to the Light" to Bo, but she refuses and he tells her that she can't; "Blame an Ash for trying." Bo then leaves saying that she can "handle the shit storm but Kenzi is starting to feel the strain." As Bo leaves, Hale stops her and explains that since The Garuda's attacks, he did some inventorying of the Ash's archives and has found many items are missing, one of these being a "Staff of Righteousness" which he asks Bo to recover for him from a Fae pawnbroker and Bo agrees to do so.

Questions in this Episode

• As Bo has not been feeding from anyone else save Lauren and at only a very small amount, what does that mean to her biology? More importantly for the theme of this season, at some point Bo will have to feed in order to heal herself and when she does, what will that mean to her relationship with Lauren?
• Kenzi mentions a two-headed Fae and a fire-breathing frog attacked them in addition to the Fae at the beginning of this episode. What kind of Fae were they? This was never explained in the episode.
• What has caused Vex's "mesmeric impotence?" This is not explained in the episode. However, there may be a connection with Bo's blood being injected into him during the season two finale. The same arm Vex uses to project his power is also the same arm he was injected in.
• Lauren attempts to give Vex a pamphlet on his condition. Does Lauren have one for everything that can happen to a Fae?
• Obviously, if you think about it, everything that is discussed between Vex and Lauren can be seen in the light of sexual impotence as well. It is possible that the more sexually active a Fae is that this connects to their powers burning out?
• What allowed Kenzi to wield the Staff of Righteousness? Is this connected to her rash that is occurring as a result of her forcing the The Norn to return Dyson's love in the episode Into the Dark?

Answers in this Episode

• It is possible that one week has passed between the last episode and this one based on Kenzi's comments that they have been attacked for at least that long. It must be a significant period of time regardless as Bo's healing abilities are crippled by being true to Lauren only for some time.
• According to Tamsin, she is a Valkyrie. However, no explanation of what that means in the Lost Girl universe is given save that she says to Bo that she has to kill people that she likes.
• Trick's Grandfatherly instincts must be coming about as in the moment when he removes a smudge of dirt from Bo's chin at the beginning of the episode.
• There is a Greatstaff of Righteousness in the World of Warcraft online RPG. In the Lost Girl universe, the Staff of Righteousness is a unassuming piece of wood that appears to be about a foot in length which, when picked up by a suitable being, transforms into a staff that is well over five feet in length than the bearer cannot let go of.
