Plot

Short Summary

Hale’s inauguration arrives but Dyson is kidnapped by a group of humans. This allows The Morrigan to discredit Hale because evidence indicates that Lauren is involved in the attack and she is missing. Through this The Morrigan forces a vote which declares that all humans held by the Fae, or connected to the Fae, are terrorists. As a result, Kenzi is arrested and sentenced to death. Lauren is deceived by Isaac who has a plan which has meant he has been hunting Fae and experimenting on them for years. Lauren is imprisoned along with Dyson and it is revealed that Aife is also being held. Trick is kidnapped by unknown persons, while Tamsin is shot as she and Bo try to locate Lauren.

Detailed Summary

The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) and Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) arriving at Lauren's home to look for her. They barge in, Bo calling out for Lauren, but she does not answer. As Bo does so, Dyson finds Lauren's abandoned cell phone on the desk where Lauren left it before leaving with Isaac in the previous episode Adventures In Fae-bysitting. Bo asks Dyson why anyone would ever leave their cell phone at home, but Dyson rationalizes that Lauren might have forgotten it. When Bo protests, Dyson tries to explain to her that he is in the "middle of the most important case of my life. Not to mention today is Hale's inauguration and I don't have time to play relationship detective." Bo cannot understand why Dyson is not taking Lauren's disappearance as seriously as she is and when Dyson suggests that her concerns are connected to The Dawning and her break up with Lauren, Bo is defensive for a moment before agreeing that she doesn't believe that what she and Lauren are going through is a "break."

Meanwhile, at the Dal Riata, Trick (Richard Howland) is in the middle of the final preparations for Hale's inauguration with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) nearby helping him. Kenzi comments that Trick seems chipper and he replies: "My protégé today is officially becoming The Ash. Of course I'm chipper. It's good that I was hard on him. Hale is going to make a real change." Kenzi questions this asking: "Oh yeah? Is he not going to be such a dick anymore?" Trick tells Kenzi that she needs to "put your personal feelings aside. This is a big day for the Fae and they won't take kindly to a human belittling it." The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) appears and asks: "Do the Light always hold their inaugurations at a steak house?" Trick asks what she is doing at the Dal and she replies that: "Regardless of the fact that the last time the Light elected a new leader he turned out to be an impostor, I'm only here with good wishes for the New Ash." Trick answers: "It is unacceptable for the Dark leader to attend the Light Fae inauguration." The Morrigan claims that she was invited and as she does so, Hale (K.C. Collins) appears and states that he invited her to attend. Kenzi looks at Hale for a moment, then walks away as she says: "No. Still a dick."

Questions in this Episode

• When Lachlan was given the position of The Ash, there was no large ceremony. All that was shown consisted of his being on a throne and having a crown placed on his head. Hale was to have an inauguration at the Dal Riata which does not appear to follow previous events in the series. As well, Lachlan was involved in a Stag Hunt for the title of Ash, but it appears that Hale never did so. In fact, the reasons for him being selected as the Ash are completely unclear.
• Through Trick's being blunt and harsh with Hale, did that alter his personalty and ability to think clearly? He seemed to be overwhelmed easily by The Morrigan when she took control and did not attempt any real defence, being shouted down quickly.
• Did Hale actually ever become the Ash? It did not appear so in the episode. If this is true, is this why The Morrigan was able to control the situation?
• Is The Morrigan actually the force behind Isaac and all of the Fae killings? Is the entire event a means to bring all of the Fae under her control?

Answers in this Episode

• Trick describes Hale as being his protégé.
• According to Trick, Dark Fae are not supposed to attend Light Fae inaugurations. Hale invited The Morrigan to his as another attempt to bridge the gap between the two sides.
