Plot

Short Summary

Bo is approached by a babysitter who claims that something happened to her employer. Dyson is approached by a Fae who lost contact with her twin sister and believes something happened. Bo discovers the babysitter is Fae and a coven of witches have taken control of her. Bo stops them with some mysterious help, and then, at the behest of the babysitter, kills her so she cannot be used again. Tamsin and Dyson go over the kills that were assumed be Bo’s and find someone is killing mass numbers of Fae, but do not know who. Lauren is offered a job, but after her past is investigated, it appears that she is a fugitive from the law. She decides to make a break with the Fae and leaves, severing her connections with them completely.

Detailed Summary

The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) at Bo's place watching a horror movie on television. As the movie progresses, Kenzi calls out: "and cue the blond in the baby doll dress walking into the woods alone" before grabbing a bowl of popcorn and adding: "human sashimi anyone?" and having some. Bo has some as she replies: "I could rescue her so easily." Kenzi tells Bo: "Yes, yes you can Chi-suck your way to victory, You are a superstar, you really can do anything." Bo mumbles: "Except fix my relationship." After Kenzi agrees: "You suck at coupledom", Bo tells Kenzi: "I think what you meant was no worries Bo-Bo you're just on a break." Kenzi allows that Bo is and makes a few sarcastic comments, but when Bo asks her when she was last on a dat, Kenzi's reply is: "Dating is so not a thing. I have a vibrant inner life." Bo mentions that reminds her they need more batteries and Kenzi looks at Bo adding: "oh-oh." Bo insists she feels alright and that the break that she and Lauren are in the middle of is just "part of the Bo and Lauren journey. We'll be together in our own time." Bo then points at the television calling out: "Oh! fresh meat! The babysitter! ... and the phone is ringing." Kenzi adds: "Spoiler alert! The call is coming from inside the house!" Bo continues: "Which means the killer is inside the house!" Kenzi becomes more animated yelling: "No! No! Don't pick up the phone! Get out of the house!" Bo joins in and throws popcorn at the screen at the same time.

The scene switches to a babysitter named Lisa (Kate Ross) in a house somewhere answering the phone. At first the call sounds like an obscene call, but then changes and she recognizes the caller as one of her employers, Tim Parker, apparently calling from India. He asks how everything is and they talk for a while, but then the conversation turns strange again when he describes what she is wearing. Lisa is frightened by something outside, hangs up the phone, and then discovers her employer hanging from the ceiling in a hallways nearby. She seems to faint but then is next seen laying on a couch asleep, the events seemingly a nightmare as she is woken up by Mrs. Parker who assures her that all is well before walking away leaving Lisa confused as she looks to where she saw Mr. Parker hanging and there is nothing to be seen.

After the opening credits, Kenzi and Bo meet Lisa who found one of their old detective flyers they put up in the beginning of the first season. Kenzi comments: "Look Bo-Bo, we were so young." When asked where she found it, Lisa tells them: "On a bulletin board in a coffee shop under a poster for meditation classes." Bo looks at it commenting: "It's been a while since we've taken a case cold but it could be fun... satisfying." Kenzi asks about Caroline and Tim Parker and what is so odd about the place they live, being sure to ask: "It isn't built on an ancient burial ground or a portal to hell is it?" Lisa insists that something happened to Tim which brings Kenzi to ask: "Did you accidentally sacrifice a virgin?" Bo is shocked and Kenzi looks at Bo telling her: "What? It happens." Lisa insists that many bizarre things have happened in the gated community called Shady Grove. Kenzi pulls Bo aside and they have a short conversation. Kenzi comments that while she likes the idea of "Bo and Kenzi playing Dangerous Housewives" they have no evidence to look into. Bo points out that Lisa seems to terrified and Kenzi finally agrees: "Alert the neighbourhood. Hotties be invading." and they agree to look into Lisa's concerns.

Meanwhile at the police station, Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) is at his desk looking through some files when a young woman enters and asks to speak with him, explaining that The Ash sent her. Dyson pauses for a moment as she looks very much like the woman that was found dead after being with Bo during the episode Faes Wide Shut. Dyson agrees and she introduces herself as Anita (Miram McDonald), then explains that a few weeks ago she felt pain unlike anything she had before and lost contact with her twin sister. Dyson asks if they were identical, which they were. When asked how he knew, Dyson explains that identical twins have a connection unlike any other. Anita continues to explain that normally her sister contacted her every few weeks while she travelled, but she suddenly stopped doing so. Dyson agrees to help and looks at a picture of Anita's sister as he does so.

The scene switches to a small exclusive gated community in the suburbs where Bo and Kenzi are being shown a house by Susan Bates (Sadie LeBlanc) who extols the virtues of the area to them. As Bo and Kenzi look around, Bo comments that the house looks "grown up nice" while Kenzi scoffs "our place has character." Bo answers: "And roach-termite hybrids." Susan asks if Bo's husband would like the place, but Bo explains that she is looking for a fresh start and so is "my sister Kenzi who just left rehab." After Bo and Kenzi hug Kenzi explains: "Anti-depressants. Turns out there is such a thing as too perky!" Susan presses Bo for more information and Bo tells her that: Lau..rence... and I are taking a break." Kenzi adds: "He left her at the altar for our other sister." Susan tells Bo that she's better off and that she learned that after her second divorce. Bo then presses Susan for more information about the community and is told that the person that owned the house, Jake Thatcher, disappeared leaving everything behind when he did so. As they continue to talk, a man looks in though a window and Susan explains that his name is Sam (Ryan Scott Greene) and since his wife disappeared he has become weird, and he has a weird ten year old as well. Then Susan's phone rings and she answers the call, becoming very animated and upset that something has started without her. After ending the call, she makes her excuses, explaining that her friend Caroline is "just losing it" and rushes off, asking Bo and Kenzi to lock up when they are finished. After Susan leaves, Bo and Kenzi agree that there is a connection between Caroline and the missing people in the community and decide to follow Susan who they see enter a home nearby. Kenzi and Bo go around the side of the house and look in a window, Kenzi commenting the the interior looks like "home makeover safari edition" as a scream comes from inside. Bo and Kenzi rush to the front door. Kenzi questions this saying that "I thought only stupid girls go into the house." Bo reveals that she is carrying a knife adding "unless she's got this and she's just awesome" and they burst in to find Susan with Caroline and another woman drinking, laughing and screaming in the front room. Susan comments that they know how to make an entrance and Caroline asks: "Do you always bring a knife to book club?" Kenzi asks if they are reading 50 Shades of Grey, but all they do is laugh at the question.

After a commercial break, Bo explains that she is carrying a knife because her old neighbour was "a little rough" and they heard screaming which Caroline dismisses as the woman talking about their neighbours. Kenzi comments that the house looks "very Ashram-chic." Bo also notices a necklace that Caroline is wearing and is told that Tim, her husband, brings her things on his travels for her "spiritual awareness." She also tells Bo that Susan has told everyone about her "little breakup." Susan comments that "if it gets hard then something is wrong." Kenzi adds: "I always say the opposite, if it's soft... Am I right?" which makes the women laugh. Kenzi is surprised and tells Bo: "I'm good at book club." Susan suggests they "set Bo up with Pete the tennis pro" and Caroline agrees if Bo "likes them hairy and sweaty." Kenzi replies that Bo "likes them all." Eleanor (Melinda Deines) who has said nothing to this point tells them that Pete only has eyes for Lisa who she calls "Tits McGee." The woman make some jokes about Lisa and talk about her "lively imagination" but also say that she is an excellent babysitter. The discussion turns then to Sam, who they describe as being helpful in the beginning but after his wife vanished he became different, but Carline describes him as being "magic with a sauté pan." Caroline then invites Bo and Kenzi to her afternoon barbecue. Eleanor then leaves to get another drink and after Caroline leaves as well, Susan tells Bo and Kenzi that Eleanor's husband also vanished before she leaves as well. Bo decides to stay and look around while Kenzi leaves to try and find some information on Sam after telling Bo that this "feels like old times" and Bo suggests that they should get some new flyers made. Bo then overhears a conversation between Caroline and Eleanor who wants to leave for a while, but Caroline is not happy about "breaking up our club." When Eleanor asks what they will do about Sam, Caroline tells her that they will not panic and Eleanor agrees.

As this happens, Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is at home talking to Doctor Isaac Taft (Shawn Doyle) who is trying to convince her to leave the company she is with, not knowing that Lauren is the property of The Ash, and work for his instead. He tells her about all of the technology that is available there, but Lauren points to some samples on her work bench and asks: "But do you have mould?" She then explains that she has a job and is happy where she is. Isaac is confused about this wondering why Lauren with all of her talent is working for "Ash Pharmaceuticals a small R&D company that I've never heard of." He tells Lauren that she is better and brighter and she should work for him, but Lauren gently pushes him out the door.

Bo meets with Lisa and asks her about Sam, and she tells Bo that she babysits his son Ethan twice a week. Lisa has no idea where Sam goes when she babysits for him and notes that Sam "flies solo and keeps to himself." As they continue to walk along a path, they enter a clearing which has a Carousel of horses that is spinning around and playing a version of the song "The Wanderer." Bo is captivated, seemingly mesmerized by this and goes closer to have a look but as she does so, Lisa stops behind her and seems to go into a trance-like state before turning and walking away, leaving Bo there alone watching the Carousel. When Bo snaps out of it, she finds that Lisa is gone.

Kenzi is searching for information with Trick (Richard Howland) back at the Dal Riata. He asks her how suburbia is and she replies: "Oh, you know, filled with tofu scarfing, crystal rubbing, Buddha bumping hypocrites. Yeah, they're zen until they get a single scratch on their luxury SUVs." Trick explains: "People have always searched for guidance Kenzi. Even those that have to commute." Kenzi smiles, asking: "You get that from your big fortune cookie book?" Trick answers no, but he did find a name in the book he is looking through. Kenzi assumes that it is Sam, but Trick has found Lisa instead, properly named Lisa Allen. He explains to Kenzi that Lisa is a Guppy, a kind of Fae spirit that lives in the earth and that she was reported missing over one hundred years ago. Kenzi is shocked that Lisa doesn't know that she is Fae, but Trick adds that Lisa is also dead. Kenzi answers: "Bad news usually comes in three. Fae, dead and..." Trick continues: "Guppies have a very specific calling."

The scene shifts to Lisa who is holding a knife and standing over the body of Eleanor as Bo rushes into the room. Bo calls out to Lisa: "What did you do?" Lisa answers in a trance: "I have done as I was asked." Eleanor's body then bursts into flame and vanishes leaving no trace and following this, Lisa drops the knife and says again that she has done as asked.

Questions in this Episode

• Do Bo and Kenzi have a regular movie night?
• Who makes the popcorn?
• What kind of Fae are Anita and her sister Riley?
• If Ash Pharmaceuticals is so small and unknown, how was Lauren able to receive an award for her work and as well, how is it that Isaac knew about her?

Answers in this Episode

• Apparently, Bo and Kenzi have not done any private human investigations for some time, probably since the end of the first season.
• According to the flyer that is shown in the episode, Kenzi is described: Loves solving mysteries, Will do anything to help; Understanding; Street Experience; Computer Skills; Will believe you; and Stronger than she looks. Bo is described: Listens to your case; Keeps an open mind; Will believe you; Has experience; and Has police backup. The rest of the flyer is not readable.
• During the episode Faes Wide Shut, Bo and Lauren picked a blonde Fae at the Dal Riata for Bo to feed on and took her to Bo's place. She was only described as "Hot Fae" in the credits at that time. In this episode her identical twin sister Anita appears and reveals that her name was Riley.
• Lauren's human world story is that she works for Ash Pharmaceuticals, a small R&D company.
• Lisa is a Guppy. A kind of Fae spirit that is connected to the earth and can be summoned once every one hundred years to do the bidding of the ones that summon her.
