Plot
Short Summary
Bo is still with Ryan as the episode begins. Bo feeds from Ryan after she is injured and then afterwards tries once more to leave him. However, Ryan sends her gifts, singing telegrams and other things to sway her which Kenzi takes notice of. Kenzi's friend Tryst returns and asks for help in trying to figure out why his grandmother has changed her will to give everything to a strange church. Bo and Kenzi investigate and discover the leader of the church is a Fae called an Addonc, who splashes Bo with water making her lose her memory completely. Bo, now not knowing she is a succubus, or who she is, meets Ryan and he tells her that they are madly in love with each other and asks her to marry him, and she agrees to do so. Ryan then pushes Bo into a marriage ceremony as Kenzi and Trick try to get a cure to her. They succeed in doing so, and Bo takes the cure and regains her memories. Trick also discovers why Ryan is infatuated with Bo and removes Bo's hold over him. Ryan and Bo finally end their relationship after the Addonc is stopped, each going on their own way, Ryan promising not to see Bo again. Dyson is called in by The Ash to investigate a Fae prisoner that is connected to the deaths of many Fae. Dyson interrogates him, but finds himself giving up as much informations about himself as he is getting in return. Dyson's life and reason for living are questioned and he cannot find a reason to live. His truth is given to him that Dyson cannot live without love, and he is told to kill himself. But Dyson overcomes him, and obtains an admission of his guilt for the deaths of the Fae. Afterwards, Dyson leaves town on a motorcycle for places unknown. Kenzi confronts Bo about lying to her about Ryan and they reconcile their relationship. Bo confronts Trick about what he knows and demands that when the battle with The Garuda is over, she wants real answers from him about her past and about Trick, who seems to know everything about her.
Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Bo (Anna Silk) on her knees in her home. She is bloodied and is holding a blade which is soaked in blood as well. Gasping in pain, Bo turns on her phone and looks at a list of names on it for a moment trying to decide who she can call. Finally she chooses someone and calls them. Soon after, Ryan (Anthony Lemke) arrives and Bo tears away at his clothing so that they can have sex and she can heal from her wounds which appear to be severe. Bo explains that she was attacked by an UnderFae that had been trying to kill her, but she defeated it. She then tells Ryan: "Sex. Now." and in the next moment the two are in bed together. Bo is still bleeding as they do, and Ryan is covered with Bo's blood. At one point, Bo rakes her nails over Ryan's back leaving long deep gashes in it before she feeds on him. As the pair continue to have sex together, blood from Bo's wrist drips into and around the gashes that she had drawn on Ryan's body. Bo feeds almost ravenously on Ryan and she begins to heal slowly.
The scene then shifts to a home somewhere else in the city where two people are standing in the kitchen together. The woman is angry that she allowed a man into her home and calls him a "religious freak." He tells her that he is not there on behalf of religion, but for her faith. She tells him that she has no faith in anything and tells him to leave. The man tells her that all of her neighbours have become followers of some kind, but does not explain what exactly. She refuses and tells him to leave, but, instead he places his hand in a sink full of water which makes it start to glow and bubble. When the woman looks closer at what is happening, he thrusts her head into the sink as if to drown her in it.
After the opening credits, Bo has finished healing and she is in the process of throwing Ryan out. Bo tells Ryan that she is well aware that he doesn't like to stay around after they have sex, but Ryan asks if they might spend some time "spooning" together which Bo has problems believing he is serious about. She thanks him for his "paramedic impression" and once again tells him that they are over, but then also admits that she is getting tired of saying that all the time to him. Ryan then asks once again if they can spoon together, but Bo pushes him out the door, Ryan telling Bo as the door closes that he would like to stay and just cuddle.
The scene shifts to Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) as he arrives for a meeting with The Ash (Vincent Walsh) who has an assignment for him. The Ash tells Dyson that there is a prisoner in the Ash's Dungeons who's name is Archer (Oliver Becker) and is an UnderFae. The Ash wants Dyson to interrogate Archer to find out if he is responsible for the deaths of several Fae which were ruled as being suicides, but the Ash does not believe they were. One of the Ash's guards had been guarding Archer earlier in the day and was then found dead after jumping twenty stories to his death. The Ash believes that Archer is responsible in some way for the deaths and desires Dyson to obtain a confession from Archer. Dyson agrees, but before he leaves, The Ash tells him that he has not told Archer anything about Dyson and it would be best to keep things so.
Bo in the meantime is looking threw several boxes of what are obviously gifts as a delivery man brings more of them to her. Bo tells him that she never ordered any of them, but he tells her that she has an admirer by the name of Ryan Lambert and asks Bo to sign for the delivery which she does with some frustration. As he leaves, a singing telegram arrives and the song is a plea for Bo to return to Ryan for he loves her. Bo forces him out the door and shuts it behind her, leaning against it. The door then opens revealing Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) who asks why there is a man crying outside. Bo brushes it off saying that the man was lost. Bo asks Kenzi what's going on and Kenzi tells Bo that she is being stalked. Kenzi begins to explain that she is being stalked by an artist named Tryst (James Cade) that she once knew a long time ago and that Bo met in the episode It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away, but stopped when Tryst pounds no the front door and calls out for Kenzi to let him in. Kenzi pleads with Bo to send Tryst on his way, but she opens the door and allows him in. He explains to Bo and Kenzi that his grandmother has been acting strangely for some reason and has changed her will and given all of her possessions to a church that is located in a strip mall. He begs Kenzi for help, which she refuses to do, but when Kenzi starts looking into all of the gifts that have arrived, Bo agrees to help Tryst in order to get Kenzi's mind off them. The only problem is that they will not be paid for this case by Tryst. Kenzi asks where all of the stuff came from, but Bo tells Kenzi that all of it is going back. However, Kenzi has found a pair of boots she likes and refuses to allow Bo to return them.
Dyson in the meantime, has arrived in the Ash's Dungeons. After passing by several guards and opening several doors, Dyson finally comes face to face with Archer who is inside of a cell, Dyson standing outside of it. Dyson calls out to Archer to reveal himself, but the answer Dyson receives is "how did the Ash know that I wanted a visit from a wolf that is trying to pretend he is still a police officer." Dyson asks if he is supposed to be impressed, and Archer tells Dyson that he can smell the gun oil he used on his weapon that morning, but Syson is not carrying it. Dyson comments that Archer is observant, and Archer claims it is on of his talents. Archer then asks Dyson to come closer as she could use the companionship, but Dyson tells Archer that he is not there to be his friend to which Archer just smiles.
Bo and Kenzi arrive at a shopping mall to find a "strip mall church" which Kenzi derisively calls "sexy." The pair enter the church to find a service underway, a speaker talking about "the love of Brother Douglas" to the assembled masses, the speaker being Brother Douglas (Richard Clarkin), who is the same person seen at the beginning of the episode. The people who are listening to him seem to be enthralled by him. He places his hands into a small bowl and the water begins to boil and glow as it had done before in the episode. Bo tells Kenzi to watch what's going on as Bo goes to the church's office to see what she can find there. As she does so, Brother sprays the water upon the masses, which glows for a moment on their skin before vanishing. Bo enters the office and discovers that the church represents "The Order of Dougallerian Sodality" as she rifles through paperwork and searches for clues. As Kenzi continues to wait for Bo to return, the woman from the beginning of the episode approaches Kenzi and says hello to her and introduces herself as Carla (Robin Brule). Carl's attitude seems to have completely changed from the beginning of the episode in that she seems more innocent and cares about people which she didn't before, going as far as offering to share cookies with Kenzi who tries to refuse her, but is dragged towards a table with cookies on it. As this happens, Bo continues to find more and more evidence about what is going on. Kenzi is forced to take a cookie, but sees Brother Douglas walking towards the office. Bo is confronted by him as to what she is doing, but Bo tells him that she can see that he is a cheat and a liar among other things. In response, Brother Douglas causes the water he is carrying to boil and glow once more before throwing it onto Bo, the water glowing where it falls on her skin. Bo seems confused and stunned as Kenzi enters the office taking Brother Douglas' attention away from Bo for a moment. When Bo runs away in terror and Douglas turns around to follow her, Kenzi knocks him unconscious. Kenzi asks Bo if she is okay, but Bo does not recognize her and tells Kenzi to stay away from her as she runs away. Rushing outside, Kenzi finds Bo's car still where they parked it, but Bo is nowhere to be seen.

Questions in this Episode
- How is it that with all of the times Bo has fed on others to heal herself, that she hasn't turned others into her "thralls" like she did with Ryan?
- We are told that Archer is an UnderFae, but what kind he is, we are not told.
Answers in this Episode
- It appears that Bo can heal major injuries to herself by feeding, including loss of blood and severe cuts and lacerations. It can be assumed that broken bones and other more serious injures will heal as quickly if she feeds.
- Tryst previously appeared in the episode It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away as someone from Kenzi's past that is an artist and was infatuated with her.
- Addonc are Water Fae that soak their victims in water and erase their memories. It makes the victim more child-like and innocent, and they imprint on the first person that is kind to them.
- It is not known what real world myth an Addonc relates to, if any.
