Plot
Short Summary
Bo, Dyson, Kenzi, Hale, Trick, Ciara, and Lauren are all drawn to the Dal and a Dark Fae hunter traps all of them there explaining that he is hunting an escaped prisoner hiding there. It is soon revealed that thanks to that prisoner contaminating the beer, that all of them save Trick have drunk, he can move between bodies and he first takes over Bo's body. The Nain Rouge appears to Bo when she is forced into being stuck in Limbo as a result. Bo is told that the Fae will come to an end and her destiny which is to kill Trick. Bo does not believe her and forces her way back to the real world. Bo returns from Limbo, and as a result, all of the people in the Dal switch bodies. The prisoner escapes in Lauren's body and feeding on Lauren's deepest desires, attempts to kill the Ash. Dyson in Kenzi's body is the only one able to leave the Dal and manages to stop him. Trick eventually finds a solution and returns everyone back to their own bodies, the prisoner being taken away by the bounty hunter. Bo tells Trick at the end of the episode that the Nain Rouge told her something terrible was coming and that she was called Ysabeau (where the last syllable is pronounced like "bo") by her. It is also revealed that the Ash may not in fact be who he seems to be.
