Masks: Difference between revisions

Bo and Dyson return to the travel agency once again, and when Peggy asks for their number, Bo snaps on her, Penny commenting that "someone has jet lag." Bo tells Peggy to send her once more to Tshombe's home, and then thanks Dyson for his help to which his answer is: "I've always wanted to see Madagascar." He steps back, Peggy tries to get Bo to sign up for a frequent Fae flier plan, which Bo refuses, and then Bo is transported back to Tshombe. She finds him unconscious on the floor and unresponsive to her. She places the mask on his face, it melts into his skin and then vanishes, seemingly curing him. Bo tells him that she kept her part of the bargain and that now he has to remove the curse on Nadia. Tshombe reaches for a crowbar, wraps Bo's and his hands around it, and then it glows with a bright red fire. Tshombe then tells Bo that she now has the power to remove the nail herself. Bo then approaches the pillar of nails, places the crowbar against Nadia's nail and starts to pull it out. Back in the lab, Lauren is frantic as the equipment watching over Nadia begins to sound alarms that something is wrong. Bo pulls the nail out and Nadia's capsule begins to glow with a bright white light and then the hoses and other connections explode away from it. The capsule vanishes in a flash of light and Nadia, now revealed, opens her eyes and looks around. She sees Lauren, sits up and simply says, "Lauren." Lauren is speechless as she sees Nadia alive and well once more. Bo in the meantime comes to the decision to remove other nails from the pillar. As she tries to do so, Tshombe tells her that she does not have the power to take other nails out, but to his shock, Bo starts taking them out one by one. He tells her to stop, that she has no idea what she is doing, but Bo's answer is that she is freeing innocent people. Tshombe then tells Bo the story of several of the nails she has not yet pulled out. One is a violent man that beats his wife and children, another is a traitor that led his men into battle where they were slaughtered. Bo asks what gives him the right to be judge and jury and he asks the same thing of her. Bo then takes the small bag of sand she took form the Preta and then pours it over a box of unused nails sitting on the floor turning them to dust and destroying them. Bo then leaves Tshombe behind as he screams "NO!" in her wake.

Bo goes home to find the lights out and stumbles inside to try and turn them on when there is a cry of "Happy Birthday!" and the lights come on to find her place packed with friends and a party waiting for her, Kenzi and Nate as the band ushering her into the place with a short musical refrain. The first to greet Bo is Hale, then Kenzi runs up and hugs Bo as well. Kenzi, rather embarrassedly introduces Nate to her, and he tells Bo that Kenzi has told her all about her, which comes to: "You are the big sister that Kenzi never had but always wished for." Bo thanks Kenzi for the party and with a smile tells her that Nate is cute. Then Ciara and Dyson are next, Ciara hugging Bo first and then she walks away. Dyson then give Bo the first gift of the party, which is a throwing knife to replace the one that she lost to the Preta earlier in the episode. Bo manages to thank Dyson and then Lauren arrives with Nadia for the party. Bo greets them and then as the rest of the guests introduce themselves to Nadia, Bo walks away. She sits down on the couch and a moment later Lauren sits with her there. She thanks Bo again for obtaining the cursing nail from the Morrigan, which out which they never would have known what the problem was. Bo mumbles an off-hand "Yeah." and then Lauren hands her gift to Bo which turn out to be throwing stars for her to use. Lauren tells Bo that she worries about what Bo gets involved with and that she just wants to be sure that Bo can protect herself. Bo tells her not to and that she has more important things to worry about. Trick is the next to give Bo a gift and that turns out to be an antique walking stick with a sword inside of it. Bo tells Trick that she is sorry, that the bracelet was destroyed, but Trick tells Bo that it was for a good cause. He also tells Bo that the bracelet brought his wife years and year of happiness and now it is bringing happiness to others. Trick also reveals to Bo that the walking stick was originally his wife's and now it is hers. He asks her to keep it close, she will never know when she might need it, and Bo promises to do so. Trick then leaves and a man that we have never seen before in the series then approaches Bo with a gift for her that he says is from an admirer. (This person is credited as Anthony Lemke, but without a character name. However the IMDb lists his character as being Ryan Lambert) Bo is confused and she sarcastically thanks him for clearing up the confusion before opening the gift to find it contains some kind of bracelet. When she comments that it isn't a weapon, she is told not to be so sure and to read the inscription first. Bo does so but she cannot quite make it out. What the viewer can see are a series of letters and numbers that read: Rsr 12342 as best as can be seen from the glimpse shown of it. Bo asks what it means, but the man that gave the gift has left the room. Bo then looks around to see her friends all talking together and she finds herself alone on the couch and she slips on the bracelet and in a melancholy way watches life go on around her without her.

The final part of the episode begins with the aftermath of the party the night before. Bo wanders into the main room and stops one of the cat dolls from moving with one of her hands. Kenzi then comes in very happy and offers Bo a cup of coffee just the way she likes it. Bo thanks Kenzi once more for the party and tells her that she especially liked the cat theme of the party. Kenzi then summarizes what happened the day before: Bo jetting off to Africa, Dyhson and Ciara buying a home together, Nadia being awake and well. Bo teases Kenzi about her boyhood crush and in response, Kenzi asks about the mysterious man that was at the party, Bo says she doesn't know him and neither does Kenzi. Then Kenzi rushes off to give Bo her present, Bo commenting that it is either a knife or a pistol. However, when she opens it, she finds an artist's portfolio of drawings of the party that Nate did. Bo tells Kenzi that she is happy for her, and Kenzi tells Bo that she wants to be happy for her too. Bo's answer is simply: "I know."
