Plot

Short Summary

Hale is buried, his friends grieving for him. Kenzi is unconsolable and demands that Massimo die. Massimo is confronted and claims that Rainer will die in seven days according to prophecy which staves off his death as Bo and the others look for answers, but Kenzi sees this as another breaking of a promise to her. Kenzi asks Vex to help her kill Massimo but Vex turns the tables on Kenzi and releases Massimo because of a Blood Oath that Vex swore. A knight appears, swearing allegiance to Bo, calling her their Queen and when Rainer appears, calls him King. Bo and Rainer along with Tamsin become aware of the prophecy that is approaching. Bo and Rainer must join forces for Rainer to live. Lauren tries to show Bo what she believes is the truth about Rainer, but Bo rejects her and in doing so, Lauren and Bo end their relationship which seemingly drives Lauren into The Morrigan’s arms. Lauren then turns The Morrigan human by using a sample she took of The Morrigan earlier. Bo, Rainer and the knight attempt to stop the prophecy and in trying to do so discover that they must marry. They do so, but it is revealed the knight had lied and in doing so The Priapus is released. Kenzi confronts Bo and demands that Bo release her claim and Bo does so, Kenzi leaving soon afterwards. Massimo captures Lauren and then eats the Origin Seed, but the effects of doing so are not revealed.


Detailed Summary

The episode opens at Hale's burial ceremony where Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) is speaking to the assembly. Dyson eulogizes Hale by talking about his relationship with Hale noting that: "I never said goodbye to Hale. It was always see you later. Talk to ya. Or nothing at all. Just that look between old friends that says: 'We'll be together soon.'" Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) is then seen clutching Hale's ring which she wears and staring off into space. Dyson continues: "He was a man of complexities. A traditionalist with a modern style. An old soul with the optimism of one just born." It is then shown that Kenzi is sitting off by herself in the front row of the mourners, two other mourners between her and where Bo (Anna Silk) and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) are across the aisle sitting together on the other front row. Dyson continues on about Hale noting: "Hale Santiago of Clan Zamora forged his own path. He became a cop. And he liked being called a cop. He befriended without judgement or expectation." Dyson then looks towards Kenzi adding: "And he loved without bounds." Dyson then looks over his shoulder to where a gate leads to Hale's family crypt stands and explains: "And as Hale's closest clan members sit with his body in silent mourning. So we begin the day of silence. For we pay reverence to our dear, and departed Siren." The scene freezes on Kenzi as she blinks away tears and then a wider shot of the site of the ceremony, now completely deserted save for Kenzi and Bo who goes over to talk to Kenzi. Kenzi does not look at Bo as she says: "I think I might scream." Bo tells Kenzi that whatever she needs, Bo will be there for her. Kenzi tells Bo: "I needed him alive." Bo tells Kenzi it will get better, but Kenzi sighs and then walks away from Bo, Bo running to catch up to her. Kenzi stops to pick up Hale's hat and clutch it to her chest, Bo saying to her: "I promise. Maybe not for a long long time, but I will be there for you." As Bo finishes speaking, a figure approaches them from the bushes, appearing to be a knight in armour and drawing a sword. Bo in turn, pulls out her small knife and points it towards the approaching knight. The knight removes her helmet and states: "I am yours" before dropping to one knee in submission to Bo. The knight explains that she is from the Order of Raina as she then pledges her fealty to Bo, calling her Queen. Kenzi rolls her eyes and exclaims: "Of course." and then walks away, Bo calling after her, but Kenzi does not respond or turn to look at Bo. Bo then looks back at the knight who asks: "Where do we begin my liege?"

After the opening credits, Bo is at the Dal Riata and is questioning the knight about why she has come to see Bo. The knight comments that she "arrived just in time for I was attacked on my way here." Tamsin asks the knight who she was attacked by and is told that it was "someone that did not want me to deliver my message." Bo sees Dyson sitting with Kenzi on the other side of the room, but does not go there as the knight explains that Bo is in danger and that she is "here to protect you, and to fight at your side" as she offers Bo a glove of armour. Tamsin takes the glove and examines it commenting: "I haven't seen one of these since the battlefield. It's been a long time." Bo tells the knight that she doesn't know her and that she does not understand what the knight is talking about either. Bo insists that she is not this knight's queen and that she should leave. The knight stresses that Bo is in "mortal danger" and Tamsin turns on the knight, explaining that they just returned from a funeral, but the knight insists "there will be more funerals if you do not heed my message." The knight then continues: "It was foretold that with the death of the Una Mens the Priapus would rise. It is you who he seeks." The knight then offers Bo a small book which Tamsin takes from her and begins to read: "He shall rise and seek her out. The Succubus. The One." Tamsin then asks what "he" wants. The knight explains that she does not know because she is "not privy" to the information. But she stresses that the prophecy of the "slaying of the Una Mens also creates the power of the Origin Seed." Bo's attention then turns to Kenzi who storms away from Dyson. Bo stands and begins to follow Kenzi, but the knight warns Bo there is "very little time" but Bo will have none of this, telling the knight that: "I don't give a shit about prophecy or seeds or Priapuses. This is my family. And they need me." before she runs after Kenzi. Bo sits with Kenzi and Kenzi tells Bo that they "have to get him. He has to die." Bo is taken aback by Kenzi's words, but tells Kenzi: "He will pay. I promise." Kenzi then smiles, slightly, before looking downwards and Dyson is shown in the background looking concerned before nodding once.

Massimo (Tim Rozen) is then shown in his lair mixing a potion and muttering to himself. Bo, Dyson and Kenzi then enter and approach him, Massimo commenting: "Well well well... Look what the puss dragged in. Looking for something?" Kenzi in a disgusted tone remarks as she looks at the knife that Massimo used: "Still has Hale's blood. So when I slit your throat think of it as a gift from us both." Massimo scoffs: "You didn't really come here just to kill me did you?" Dyson answers: "Why else?" Massimo then tells them all: "You know, for supernatural creatures and all that you guys don't know shit about what's going on in your own lives." As Massimo speaks, Kenzi is breaking things in the room as she searches for something. He then asks Bo if she knows anything about Rainer dying soon and when pressed for details by Dyson he continues: "When the Wanderer rises another curse shall befall him in seven days he will expire unless the curse is broken. It's in your history." Kenzi grabs Massimo and demands to know where the Twig of Zamora is, but Massimo tells Kenzi: "Oh god you are so annoying. I did Hale a solid when I drove that sword through him. Can you imagine the disappointment that he would have eventually felt? Knowing that he was forever married to your pathetic, weak, human, ass?" Kenzi cries out in anger, but Dyson intervenes and demands to know what Massimo knows about Rainer. Massimo taunts Dyson: "A little of this and a little of that." Dyson growls and throws Massimo against a wall, demanding again for him to speak. Massimo whispers something to Dyson which Bo and Kenzi cannot hear which is: "You will watch friends die and do nothing about it." and then laughs insanely. Dyson then turns to Bo and Kenzi and tells them they cannot kill Massimo yet. Kenzi is outraged and Bo demands to know what Massimo told Dyson but all Dyson says is that they need to take Massimo to Trick and then leaves with him. Kenzi screams at Dyson not to do so, but Dyson tells her: "Kenzi, don't you think I don't want to tear his heart out and eat it in front of him? I do! But there are larger things at stake here than revenge. Dyson then leaves with Massimo and Kenzi turns to Bo, begging her to help. Bo promises that Massimo will suffer and that Dyson will make sure of it. Kenzi points a finger at Bo and angrily answers: "No. You promised me. You promise me that he would die." Bo tries to justify what Dyson did, saying that if he has information that can help them, they have to keep Massimo alive. Kenzi then taps the sword she threatened Massimo with on Bo's chest and rants: "First you betrayed me. Now Dyson betrays me." Bo tells Kenzi that Dyson loves her, but Kenzi will hear none of this and then turns and leaves Bo, she calling out after Kenzi that they have to trust Dyson.

Elsewhere, Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is in the Dark Fae Archives looking through various books in search of information on Rainer, commenting to herself: "Rainer, Wanderer, asshole, whatever your name is, you have got to be here somewhere. History keeps a record of everyone and everything." She turns a page and then notices that her hands are wet from the ink on the page and looks at them in confusion. She turns one more page and then watches as text begins to appear on it. She reads from the page: "Behold the demon beast. Evil pure. Fang teeth. Horned. Him they call Rainer." Tapping a flashlight on the page Lauren exclaims: "Gotcha!" She then continues to read aloud: "A thousand years shall be ended. He shall be unbound." Lauren looks away and tells herself: "Okay, don't freak out. Don't freak out." Continuing she reads: "To wreak torment beyond comparison and betray the Fae." Lauren exclaims: "I knew it!" Lauren then hears The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) speaking to someone and commenting: "You think just because the Una Mens went tits up that thing will just fall into place? No. We need to intervene." Lauren looks from her position towards where The Morrigan is standing and can only see her speaking to someone, but not who it is. The Morrigan continues: "Bo and this Wanderer freak, they took out the Una Mens. Probably the heir of Zamora too. It's only a matter of time before they come after me and after you. Everything would be easier if the Succubus was dead." Lauren hears all of this and then turns away, gathers the books she has found and disappears before she is discovered. Meanwhile, the person that The Morrigan was speaking to is revealed to be Trick (Richard Howland) who refuses to allow her to kill Bo. The Morrigan smirks: "You and your obsession with family. I warned you about her from the start." Trick warns her that he "missed Hale's day of silence for this. So let's make this worth my while." The Morrigan replies: "Ah yes the Siren. Bit if a stick in the mud wasn't he?" Trick answers: "He was a better leader than either of us will ever be." The Morrigan then starts to walk away and comments: "Speaking of Rainer, shall we figure out what to do with him?" Trick follows and tells her that they have to put their differences aside for the moment and The Morrigan agrees, but moans: "But that's no fun."

Bo has returned to her home where she finds Tamsin still reading the book the knight offered to Bo and Rainer (Kyle Schmid) present. Bo starts to explain to Rainer that Massimo said he was dying but that she believes that "someone has the answer." As Bo speaks these words, the knight enters the room and Rainer rises from his chair, a look of recognition in his eyes, and calls out to the knight "Rosette!" as he rushes to her. Rosette (Casey Hudeck) greet him as her King and Rainer calls her his best lieutenant and claims that she "spent every moment trying to get us off that train." Rosette tells Rainer that she failed him and Bo tells her that she could help them now. Bo asks about the prophecies that Rosette keeps speaking of and if there is anything in them about Rainer dying. Rosette answers: "The impossible. The alliance between you both would have assured that the Earthly curse was lifted." Bo asks what curse and Tamsin reads from the book: "If The Wanderer is rescued and the first curse should fail, he shall be cursed again. To suffer and perish in seven days of being on this Earth." Tamsin looks at Bo: "Crap. He's been here six days." Bo considers this: "So if the first curse was broken a failsafe was built in by the person that cursed him. Trick." Tamsin continues: "And only by the blood of your enemies can the curse be broken." Bo notes that Trick's blood is part of her and sighs: "What is it with my family and blood?" Rosette tells Bo they can break the curse, but Bo counters that in doing so they would find the Priapus. Rainer comments: "The one that has been manipulating me." Bo replies: "The one who's ass I am going to kick when I find him. But how?" Rosette suggests that they need something that "both you and Rainer shared." Rainer adds: "A symbol. A clue." Bo thinks about this a moment and then replies: "There is one thing."

After a commercial break, we return to see Bo, Rainer and Rosette gathered around the Wanderer card and Bo sighs in exasperation: "So to keep Rainer from dying in the next 24 hours and find the Priapus who we think is screwing with all of our lives We need to officially form an allegiance and our only clue is this tarot card." Rainer tells Bo that the purpose of a tarot card is to guide so there might be a message within the card. Bo agrees, remembering that the card was revealed to be a ticket when Kenzi touched it and it burned. Bo does so, but nothing happens. In frustration she lights the card with a match and then blows the fire out. The letters MMXV appear on the card and Rainer comments "2015" while Bo replies that it was a time, 8:15. Rainer suggests that it could be something different, perhaps a code. Lauren then enters the room and calls out: "It could be cartography coordinates." Lauren then looks at Bo and tells her that they need to talk.

Bo is then shown looking at the book that Lauren found. She looks at a picture of what appears to be some kind of devil and is captioned "The Wanderer." Bo cannot believe what she is looking at and tells Lauren: "Obviously his isn't the guy in my kitchen." Bo then turns on Lauren and exclaims: "This book doesn't even look real! Is the ink still wet?" Lauren tells Bo that the ink being wet confused her as well, but she explains: "There was no memory of Rainer. When his memory returned, history's memory of him returned as well. And it's not pretty." Lauren then reads from the text: "The warrior shall escape the curse. The Valkyrie shall be reborn. The blood of Zamoran shall be spilled. Any of this sound familiar?" When Bo says nothing, Lauren continues: "The women of the horse shall rise, I have no idea what that means. Between the warrior and the Queen one of the two shall die." When Lauren tells Bo she has no idea who the Queen is, Bo answers: "Yeah. They think it's me." Lauren looks at Bo and exclaims: "Holy shit Bo, then it's coming true you see? We have to get you out of here!" Bo then turns on Lauren and asks her "Why are you doing this?" Lauren tells Bo: "Something is coming for you. The Morrigan..." Bo yells at Lauren: "To get back at me?" Lauren tells Bo: I stayed with the Dark for you." Bo is shocked by this as Lauren continues: "I isolated myself for you. This was all for you. Everything that I do is for you." Bo angrily asks what Lauren's plan is or to tell her the truth. Lauren yells at Bo that she had to make Bo believe it if she was going to be able to make The Morrigan believe her as well." Bo tells Lauren that she cannot listen to what Lauren has to say because "there is too much going on. Kenzi is hurting so badly and where were you?" Lauren cannot answer before Bo continues: "Playing around in the Dark archives, digging up shit on the man somehow intertwined with my destiny." Lauren sighs: "So that's it? You choose him?" Bo claims "it is not like that. I chose you. And you broke my heart." Before they can continue, Rainer enters and tells Bo: "Whenever you're ready Bo, I figured something out." After Rainer leaves, neither Lauren or Bo say anything before Lauren turns away and walks out of the room leaving Bo alone.

The scene switches to The Morrigan who arrives home to find Lauren waiting for her in bed and greets her with: "Lauren. Make yourself at my home." Lauren tells her that they are "celebrating" and The Morrigan asks if Lauren has "discovered a new spore." Lauren then explains that she wishes to join the Dark "officially." The Morrigan comments that "changes of heart do not happen without a reason" and Lauren explains: "I'm a human in a Fae world. Something that has been difficult to reconcile over the years. Something that has made me feel weak and small and you've given me strength. Confidence." The Morrigan scoffs: "Oh you are not falling in love with me are you?" Lauren does not answer that question but continues: "You know the Light kept me in prison. They made me wear a dog collar disguised as a necklace. The Dark gave me respect, freedom, trusted me with their research." The Morrigan sits on the edge of the bed and tells Lauren she could: "Sell diapers to a Sumo." Lauren claims: "I've felt more like myself than I have in years." Lauren then asks The Morrigan to claim her which then brings The Morrigan to ask Lauren what "all of this is really about." Lauren explains that she has no where else to go and adds: "I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend. But I might want some of the benefits." The Morrigan shakes her head slightly: "I've never understood you humans. But you are fun to play with." The Morrigan then kisses Lauren deeply as the scene ends.

After a commercial break, Bo, Rainer and Rosette arrive at a building that appears to be a "spiritual centre" who's address is 2015. Upon entering the building a large mural is seen with a horse inscribed upon it. Bo looks at it and comments: "The women of the horses." A woman enters and welcomes them, introducing herself as Sister Epona (Eve Harlow) and asks: "What is it you seek children?" Rosette rushes towards Epona and then claims that she was attacked by her. Bo tells Rosette to "stand down" and then uses her powers to persuade Epona to talk. Epona comments that Bo is "more beautiful than I expected" and when Bo asks about the image of the horse she is told "The horse? The great and all powerful. With domain over life and death. Only the mighty one will denote the worthy from the fallen. But if you find it..." Bo asks what she is talking about, but Epona continues: "Your blood will destroy him it must be protected." When Bo asks who, Epona says: "Succubus you." Bo is confused and presses for more information which Epona responds: "The Daughter's intensions are unclear." Bo asks: "The Priapus..." and Epona answers: "Your father."

Kenzi is seen at the Dal Riata looking at a photograph of herself and Hale, tracing her hand over it before flipping it over as Vex (Paul Amos) enters and asks: "So. What shall we do then darling? My vote? We get rip roaring drunk and settling into a stack of, oh I don't know, something Rachel McAdams-ey." Kenzi tells Vex that she didn't call him for "cuddles" and she wants to get revenge. Vex pours himself a drink and replies: "Oh absolutely! Revenge is my middle name. Well second middle actually after Chauncey it's a family thing, don't judge." Kenzi stands up and tells Vex: "I'm talking blood spilled, guts, pain on top of payback." Vex takes a drink and then tells Kenzi: "Stop. You're giving me a stiffy. Alright, tell Uncle Vex who's the unfortunately sop that is going to meet his untimely end." Kenzi tells Vex that it is Massimo which makes Vex laugh slightly and ask: "What? That low level T-bag human druid? How in the world did he manage to kill Hale?" Kenzi tells Vex that Massimo had the Twig of Zamora and when Vex asks "What stupid idiot gave that to him" Kenzi pauses and then whispers "Me." Vex asks Kenzi if she has any idea what she is dealing with and then asks if she knows where Massimo is. Kenzi tells Vex that Massimo is in Trick's lair and that Vex is "the only one that can help me. So come on." Kenzi then starts to march off towards Trick's lair carrying the sword that Massimo used to kill Hale, but Vex cries out: "Listen! You're putting me in a real fix here you understand? Honesty isn't my strong suit you know that love. I'm not a good Fae. Screw or be screwed!" Kenzi becomes angry that Vex is "having a crisis of conscience" and tells him that she needs: "The real you. Killer, crooked cocky dirty to the death Vex." Vex says nothing for a moment, then agrees but with the condition that he be the one to deal with Massimo, promising that he will: "Instagram you every gratuitous bloody tick in Kelvin cause it is my favourite filter." Kenzi tells Vex that she knows he is trying to protect her, but "that insect killed my almost-husband, he took my happiness and my future so this one is mine." Vex is taken aback by the venom in Kenzi's words and quietly says "Alight" as Kenzi leaves to find Massimo.

Meanwhile, Bo, Rainer and Rosette are back and Bo's home trying to figure out what Bo is not supposed gain access to and what it has to do with Bo's father. Bo then tells Rainer that in her Dawning she saw a horse. Bo explains that she saw it in the room where her father held Bo as a baby. Bo also tells Rainer that in the past year she had been haunted by visions of a carousel as well. Rainer tells Bo that what she has told of are clues and that her father wants to meet Bo but Bo comments: "Well he never has before." Bo then admits: "I've been waiting to meet him my whole life and now I'm terrified."

Questions in this Episode

  • It was not clear if Kenzi was seen as Hale's wife or not, or even considered to be important because of her being human and all of the others attending Hale's burial were Fae.
  • What is the Day of Silence that Dyson refers to in his speech? What is asked of those who do so?
  • Rosette called Bo her Queen. Who's Queen is she? Rainer's? Bo's Father?
  • The Morrigan mentioned to Trick that she had warned him about Bo from the first moment she appeared. The question is, was The Morrigan aware of who Bo was then or not?
  • What were Trick and The Morrigan planning in response to what has occurred?
  • Can those plans, if any, continue after Lauren's actions against The Morrigan?
  • In this episode, Tamsin was able to see Rainer for the first time and she did not seem to react in any way towards him, mainly indifference. It also seemed as if Rainer was not aware that Tamsin was the one that allowed the Blood King to place the curse on him. Why? There should have been some sign of tension and there was nothing to be seen.
  • Why didn't Bo go to Trick and ask him to explain the curse, the prophecy and so on? Being stubborn or stupid really isn't a good reason considering that Bo has seen Trick about all kinds of other things.
  • How is it that Rainer knows that the Priapus has been manipulating him? Wasn't it Trick's fault that he was trapped on the train? Even if he wasn't aware of this in the past, he must be now since Bo said, in his presence, that Trick was the one that cursed him?
  • When did Bo find out that Kenzi touched the Wanderer card and at that time it was revealed to be a ticket. When did anyone tell her that story?
  • What is the significance of 2015? Has everyone been wrong about what the number means so far?
  • Why exactly did Bo turn on Lauren as she did? Why did she reject out of hand everything that Lauren was telling her and not even consider it?
  • How long has Lauren been planning to take revenge on The Morrigan? Is this her plan or something else?
  • How did Bo, Rainer and Rosette find the location of the women of the horse? There must be hundreds of addresses in the city with the number 2015 on them. What exactly made this one location stand out and how was it exactly that they determined it was the place to go?
