The scene shifts to a television studio where a Blogger (Ryan Cooley) is interviewing an actress named Sadie (Lauren Holly) for his website about the series she appears in and filming her with his phone as he does so. The Blogger is smitten with Sadie and describes himself as her biggest fan, but when Sadie reaches out and takes the phone from him, she scratches him slightly and then he begins to act oddly, his skin seeming to glow or burn. Sadie asks what he likes about her and other questions, but as he does so, he seems to be suffering from some sort of attack. Sadie then bares her teeth and makes an almost animal-like growl before he falls out of the chair he had been sitting in, his skin almost grey in colour and not moving. Sadie seems disinterested in what has happened, leaving him behind as she calls for one of the crew on the set to see what's wrong. | The scene shifts to a television studio where a Blogger (Ryan Cooley) is interviewing an actress named Sadie (Lauren Holly) for his website about the series she appears in and filming her with his phone as he does so.

Returning from the opening credits, The Ash and Bo are still talking. As he pours coffee, The Ash explains that the being they are looking for is called an Afreet, which according to the Ash is a subclass of the Djinn. He describes her as malevolent powerful beings with great wisdom, but there is a catch. The Afreet do not reveal their secrets unless they are enslaved. After Bo compliments The Ash on the coffee, she tells him that she doesn't like the idea of enslaving others and reminds him of what he did to Lauren. His answer is that "sometimes a leader has to make very hard decisions." He explains that Lauren has an important role to play in the coming battle and that he has placed his faith in her as a result. The Ash promises Bo that if they survive the Garuda, they can discuss "the Lauren situation" and she promises him they will do so. He continues to explain that the Afreet normally stay on their plane of existence, but Sadie has been crossing over for millennia and causing misery and grief and, as a result, The Ash feels that it is time she paid a price for what she had done. Bo is not pleased with the idea of kidnapping an actress from a movie set, but The Ash tells Bo that she should be able to find Sadie at a bar called the Swarga Lounge she has been seen at regularly, Bo should be able to trap her in a magic lamp. When Bo asks for the lamp, The Ash tells her that she will need to see a man named Lambert for it. He then tells Bo that the strange man that gave Bo a gift in the previous episode, ''[[Barometz. Trick. Pressure.]]'' will be suppling what she needs. When Bo confronts him about this, The Ash tells her that he had hoping that she and Ryan, Lambert's first name, would "hit it off" as Ryan doesn't give his inventions to just anyone. Bo attempts to tell him what she thinks of him, but The Ash tells her that he is counting on Bo to be his champion, but Bo's reply is: "Baby steps." | Returning from the opening credits, The Ash and Bo are still talking.

At that moment, Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried), Hale (K.C. Collins) and Trick (Richard Howland) are at the ''Dal Riata'' recovering from the events of the last episode when the three of them were unconscious after Trick attempted to learn what the threat they are facing was. They seem none the worse for wear, save that they are all very tired looking. Dyson asks Trick what he saw, and Trick's answer is The Garuda. Trick explains to Dyson and Hale that during the Great Fae War, a single Garuda was feeding on all of the Fae, but they never knew. He also tells them that what The Garuda wants is for Trick to unwrite the laws that he used to stop the last war so that it can being a new one. | |||
Returning to Bo, she is examining the bracelet that Ryan gave her at the party with some suspicion when her phone rings. She reads several text messages from Kenzi that are all in internet shorthand, the last one translating as: "Love you Like a Sister Too." Then the phone rings again, and this time it is Trick calling her. Trick begins to tell Bo that he knows what is coming, but Bo interrupts him with the news that she knows already what it is. She then tells Trick that The Ash told her what the threat is and that she can't talk to him at the moment as she is on a mission for The Ash. This confuses Trick as the last time he spoke with Bo she wanted to kill The Ash. Trick asks Bo to see him as soon as possible and Bo promises to do so before Trick hangs up. He then tells Dyson that The Ash knows about everything and Dyson asks the question if The Ash is on their side, but Trick is unsure how to answer that. Dyson seems concerned about something and Trick asks him what that might be. Dyson explains that he had been forced in the previous episode to admit the truth that he cannot love Ciara (Lina Roessler). Trick tries to tell Dyson that he needed to move past Ciara in order to deal with The Garuda, but Dyson explains to him that he managed to move past Bo and he should be able to love Ciara, but he cannot and that makes no sense to him. Trick tells Dyson that only he knows what it all means, but Dyson tells Trick that there is another that does know. | |||
