Plot

Short Summary

Dyson is accused of murdering Fae and humans in the far distant past and will be executed for his crimes by the Una Mens. Hale tries to defend Dyson against the charges but the Una Mens refuse to listen. Kenzi is also there and she is taken by the Una Mens to be killed alongside Dyson. Cassie the oracle returns and helps Bo to enter Dyson’s past where she finds herself in Dyson’s body as he lives that part of his life in 1800s Paris. While doing so, Bo encounters Trick in the past and learns of a pair of shoes, described as “hellshoes” or Helskór which when worn by the right person will bring the end of days. Dyson has an accomplice wear the shoes and she goes on a killing spree which Dyson was blamed for. She was then killed and Dyson was framed for the crime, but was rescued by Trick who was seeking a second to accompany him to the new world. In order to save Kenzi, Dyson offers to give the Una Mens the Helskór but Bo returns from Dyson’s memories and takes possession of the shoes before the Una Mens can do so. Bo then proves the Una Mens were guilty of murder, not Dyson and offers them one of the shoes in order to free both Dyson and Kenzi. In the end, Bo is reunited with all of her friends and comes to the decision that they must find the other missing shoe and then confront The Wanderer.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with a recap of scenes from several episodes including Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) telling Bo (Anna Silk) that Lauren (Zoie Palmer) had joined the Dark Fae and Bo adding that she had as well, Lauren telling Bo that is was okay for her to be Dark because Bo was as well, Dyson telling Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) that she had a place among her friends and would teach her how that could be, the kiss shared between The Morrigan and Lauren in the previous episode, and finally, the end of the previous episode where Dyson was confronted by the Una Mens and told he had broken the Codex of Laws.

The first scene of the episode shows Bo and Kenzi arriving at the police station looking for Hale (K.C. Collins). Hale asks Bo where Dyson is and Bo explains that the Una Mens have imprisoned him and no one is allowed to see him. After Kenzi mentions that she was attacked by a monk, Bo then pulls a monk (Adam Cassidy) into view and explains that he is their key to getting to see Dyson. As they take the monk into one of the back rooms, Hale comments: "Informant for my sex workers case." Kenzi yells out as well: "What? You guys have never played capture the monk before? Spice it up 39th Division!" In the interrogation room, Bo attempts to use her powers to make the monk explain why the Una Mens took Dyson and not her, but the monk refuses to speak. When Bo's powers do not work, Hale comments: "Must be a eunuch. Not even beach volleyball would do it for him." Hale adds: "We'll just have to do this the old fashioned way" as he approaches the monk adding: "I'm going to have questions and you are going to have answers." The first question asked is who is representing Dyson at his trial, but the monk refuses to answer. When Hale sees the monk cringing at the tone and volume of the question, he asks the monk if he had ever met a Siren before using his Siren voice at close range which causes the monk severe pain. The monk then tells Hale that there is no trail for Dyson, it is a simple execution. When Bo asks if this is for sleeping with Dark Fae, the monk continues to explain that Dyson is being executed for treason he was responsible for in 1899. The monk claims that Dyson murdered both humans and Fae. Bo does not believe this and tells the monk he will tell the other monks to "clear the way" so that Bo and the others can rescue Dyson. However, the monk recites the Latin phrase: "Convertimini ad nihilum" before foam pours from his mouth and he dies. Kenzi becomes sick and comments: "Latin is a dead language." Bo presses on and asks if there are other options, and asks about Trick, but Hale explains that Trick is acting in his role as The New Acting Ash and the Una Mens will not grant an audience to him. Kenzi asks Bo and Hale if the Una Mens are really going to kill Dyson, but as she does ask the question, the monk falls out of his chair to the floor with a loud thud.

Meanwhile at the Una Mens, they are in the process of executing Pietra (Samantha Espie). The leader of the Una Mens (Christine Horne) recites the Latin phrase "Mortis. Invenio. In unitate." and then proclaims that Pietra has not honoured the "sacred rules of the Fae" before asking if she has any last words. Pietra begs for her life, but moments after doing so she is run through with a sword and is killed as Dyson watches from a short distance away, being chained to a wall and waiting for his own death.

Questions in this Episode

• Hale is a police officer again. So how is that going to be explained? He went crazy and spent all of the supposed money he won in the lottery?
• Apparently eunuchs are not effected by Bo's Succubus powers. That really doesn't seem to make a lot of sense as Bo's powers are similar to mind control and, as such, being a eunuch does not mean that they do not have some sort of fantasy within them. There is a bit of a disconnect with this scene in regards to this point.
• What exactly did Pietra do in that she broke Fae law? This is never made clear.

Answers in this Episode

• Hale has taken his role in the human world of being a police officer again.
• Apparently eunuchs are not effected by Bo's Succubus powers.
• It appears that the bleeding from Hale's ears which was seen at the end of the previous episode has had no effect on him or he is hiding that fact from Kenzi and the others.
• The Latin phrase "Convertimini ad nihilum" translates to English as "Return to nothing"
• In this episode, Trick is apparently acting in his role as the New Acting Ash according to Hale.
• Pietra the scavenger was executed by the Una Mens in this episode. She had been last seen in Let the Dark Times Roll where she had been helping Bo and Lauren at the orders of The Morrigan.
• The Latin phrase "Mortis. Invenio. In unitate." translates to English as "Death. I find. The unity."
• Cassie last appeared in the First Season episode Dead Lucky where she saw into Bo's future and was frightened by it greatly.
