Plot

Short Summary

Bo’s Dawning arrives and she enters the Temple alongside Dyson with Lauren’s blessing. They enter a mirror of the world they know in search of a key to escape it. Dyson reveals that he does love Bo but will not interfere with her and Lauren’s happiness, content to wait for her. As the trial continues the world twists further and further, roles changing and altering from what Bo knows. Dyson realizes that he is the key to escape and forces Bo to kill him. They return to the real world and Bo changes as she did in Season Two when Lauren’s life was threatened pulling the Chi from everyone around her and uses it to revive Dyson. Bo passes the Dawning, but a new threat is hinted at still to come.

Detailed Summary

The episode opens with Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) waking up in a strange bedroom that is illuminated by a strange blue light. He looks around and then sits up calling out, "Babe? Are you okay?" A pair of double doors open revealing Bo in a white evening gown who tells Dyson that she couldn't sleep. He asks if it was "another bad dream" and Bo replies: "I know I haven't exactly been myself lately and you have been so patient." Dyson answers "I'm a husband, it's my job" as he walks to Bo and then hold hands. Bo then tells Dyson that she wanted to be sure before she tells him something. After talking about not feeling right and thinking odd things for a while, Bo holds a pregnancy test up and it reveals that she is pregnant and they embrace happily.

After the opening credits, and a subtitle that reads "Earlier..." A man is seen running through an alleyway and open yard. Bo jumps in front of the man, holding a pipe in one hand, and introduces herself to him before striking him in the chest with the pipe which does nothing. The man grabs the pipe and throws it away, Bo makes a joke about the "mild weather we're having" and then he takes a swing at her, misses and then runs off as Bo goes to grab the pipe again. Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) then arrives, completely out of breath and Bo asks how she is feeling. Kenzi answers: "Like Wile E. Coyote. You?" Bo's comment is that the man is fast, but Stella (Deborah Odell) told Bo that she needs his sweat for the Dawning and they don't have much of a choice. Bo explains that the sweat is needed for her to gain access to the Temple and then questions Kenzi if Trick didn't explain that to him. Kenzi's answer is: "Me and Trick only talk sweat on Tuesdays, we gangsta like that." Kenzi reminds Bo that the Dawning begins for her in about an hour and Bo agrees saying that the break is over before running off again, Kenzi following and complaining "Where is the ACME company when you need them!" as she does.

Turning a corner, they find that the Fae has vanished and Kenzi asks for Bo's phone. Checking the maps on the phone, she reveals to Bo that the Fae is going in the direction of a dead-end street in the warehouse district. Bo's comment of "Things are looking up." is shot down by Kenzi's comment of "I'd like to point out that no escape for him is no escape for us" as Bo asks for the phone back. Kenzi refuses and when Bo tells her that she just wants to check her messages, Kenzi tells her: "Relax. There can be any number of reasons why Lauren hasn't returned any one of your twenty-seven texts." Bo looks at her saying, "Like I blew her off to play spaghetti western in Brasenwood with Tamsin?" Kenzi tells Bo to give Lauren more credit than that, but also tells Bo that it was insensitive of her and Tamsin to be in Lauren's apartment and sharing a glass of chardonnay. When Bo tells Kenzi it was champagne, this freaks out Kenzi even more. Then Bo mentions that they shared a kiss before running off and Kenzi yelling at Bo that: "What? Hey! You get back here young lady and tell me about this kiss! This kind of friendship has rules you know!" before running after Bo once more.

The scene moves to Lauren (Zoie Palmer) opening her door to find Dyson standing there. He explains that Hale asked him to bring some files over to her. Lauren comments that Hale could have used a messenger, but Dyson's answer is that he was going by her place anyway. Lauren tells Dyson that she has been working on an antidote for "Bo's situation." When Dyson comments that he is "not sensing the thrill of victory" Lauren explains that she is worried about the Dawning ceremony and Dyson tells her that he is worried about Bo as well. She reveals to Dyson that she "finds it hard to believe that I found someone like Bo. That she even exists." Dyson looks away and replies in a low voice, "Yeah. I know what you mean." He tells Lauren that everything will be fine but Lauren has problems believing in "good feelings." Dyson's answer is: "Sometimes it isn't about what you can prove it's about what you believe." Lauren begins to turn away, but Dyson stops her adding: "Lauren, I'm really glad that you and Bo are in such a good place" and then turns away and leaves Lauren alone.

Meanwhile, Bo and Kenzi have seemingly cornered the Fae they have been chasing and approach a door leading into a warehouse assuming that the Fae is within the building. Bo opens the door and they both rush inside but instead of finding the Fae they seek, they discover a fashion shoot within the building and Stella waiting for them there as well who tells Bo that the models have been waiting for her, telling Bo that it is the first phase of her Dawning.
