Lost Girl 3.13: Season Finale! Those Who Wander Get Hurt
Posted By Jen Sylvia on April 22, 2013
Hale has been playing the long game, Tamsin chooses Team Bo, Lauren does some slick double talk, an old favorite gets his due, and Bo, well, Bo gets caught in the end. It’s a fitting finale and mysterious lead-in to Season 4.
What the Morrigan wants, besides the destruction of the Light and humanity, is Kenzi’s knowledge about Bo’s abilities. Threatening her with emotional torture that Trick is dead, and later, with taser-laden violence. Even with the crackle of voltage in her face, sweet Kenzi gives her nothing but attitude. Kenzi outsasses the leader of the Dark. Hat tip.
The Morrigan, bored by her inability to physically harm Kenzi, tells her lackey, Bruce (the adorable Rob Archer), to dispose of her. Except, Bruce, who we’ve seen in “Hail, Hale” and “Confaegion,” is won over by Kenzi and besotted, helps her. Bruce (and his PhD in Medieval Fae Verse!) tells her of the Twig of Zamora he spotted in her pocket, and Kenzi’s revelation about Hale washes over her, warm and fuzzy. Her desire to become fae is increased and she leaves to meet with the Druid, the same bad she’d refused last time.
Bruce is soft. On the inside.
Tamsin, having been shot at Isaac’s compound, is still unconscious. Frustrated and scared, Bo transports Tamsin’s body back home where she calls the ditzy Kitsunes from “The Kenzi Scale.” They clue Bo in that Tam is dying, but Bo needs Tamsin in the now, powered up and ready to go. Bo, so focused, has no idea the trouble Kenzi or Trick is in. After a little doctoring, Tamsin is mobile and in need of strength of a mystical sort. She tells Bo that the Druid can give her serious fae mojo and after a bit of quibbling, they go together to meet him. The guy is still a creep. He gives Tamsin a syringe filled with fae-roids that Bo instantly takes possession of. She’s not buying Tamsin’s sisterly act. The Druid then secretly gives Tamsin the rune glass and it’s depressing to realize she’s going to turn on Bo, after everything.
Isaac lets Lauren out of her doc crate to experience his actual level of insanity: his ultimate goal is to become fae, and he wants Lauren to revel in it while making him like Dyson.
This entire time Dyson’s been in his cell trying to speak with Aife, who has lost her marbles. Her gibbering reveals she’d told Isaac that Dyson was the strongest fae and that she’d seen Dyson’s wolf in Bo’s eyes the night they’d fought at Season 2′s end. It was Isaac who’d carried the wounded Aife away and it’s Isaac who is going to have Lauren transplant fae DNA – Dyson’s – into his own. As Lauren scrubs up for surgery, her cold blankness speaks volumes. With a growl of pain from Dyson, Lauren extracts the marrow and prepares to do this thing. Now it’s clear Isaac isn’t the Wanderer, he’s just certifiable.
Aife. Not power-hungry crazy anymore, just crazy.
Bo and Tamsin storm the compound, except, not really. They saunter in and get stopped by a group of guards in the front courtyard and pull the “I’m lost!” card. (I rolled my eyes with Tamsin). But it gets them inside. Isaac does a meet-and-greet with Bo, who is revolted at the idea of a human morphing into fae, disbelief taking over when Lauren appears, and as far as we can tell, supports Isaac’s bid to faevolutionize the human race for the horrors that have been heaped upon them. Lauren tells Isaac to spare Bo for the love they once shared and walks off as Bo is taken to lockdown and thrown in with Tamsin.
Back in the holding cells, Bo injects Tamsin with the Valkyrie monster drink needle and the two stage a commotion that gets the guards to open the doors. Bad move, security. Watching Tamsin in a room full of guards, pull her powered-up Valkyrie card and drop each one with her stare is spectacular. It also drops her, forcing Bo to continue alone.
By the power of Valkyrie!
Bo releases the prisoners, being told “Bless you child, you are the chosen one.” That’s ominous. I’m pretty sure we’ve missed something in the four episodes that weren’t aired; regardless, it’s a heavy-handed swing of prophecy.
Bo escorts Aife out, but is apprehended and taken to Isaac. Who is now part fae, part human, all nuts, and stab happy with a knife, plunging it into Aife. Next, all sorts of subterfuge is revealed: Dyson is alive, and out for blood, taking chase after a retreating Isaac. Aife isn’t as near-dead as she seems and Tamsin leads Bo away to turn her in. Tamsin throws the potion at Bo, only to have it fizzle away. The two fight, doing some serious ass kicking until Bo gets the upper hand. But instead of dealing death, Bo with her usual compassion and personal brand of integrity, tells Tamsin her true worth. Tamsin, clearly afraid, agrees to leave the Wanderer.
Trick, meanwhile, has been lying in a trunk, and we’d thought him dead! It’s Hale, though, who’s taken him to safety and called in Stella for some much needed Trick vacation time. Hale’s also made a deal with our favorite mesmer, delivering a certain Dark leader into his hands.
The good-bad (but mostly bad) guy gets Christmas early.
After Dyson has hunted and dined on Isaac, he finds Tamsin waiting to drive them away. She tries to run down the Wanderer, who appears out of nowhere, answering the question we’d all been wondering as Dyson asks “Who?” replying, “Her father.” When the Wanderer magics himself away, Tamsin loses control and plummets over the side of the road.
Bo, at the Dal for recon, hears the same song from her Dawning as all the doors and windows to the bar seal shut. A tarot card floats down, all the glass implodes and she disappears in the same swirl of dust magic as her father. The last we see of her, she’s in the card. With the Wanderer.
Where do we go from here?
All the comebacks in the faeverse can’t fix this mess. With no projected air date, thank goodness for Season 4.
END SCENE!
1. Bruce and Kenzi are going to see the Druid. Are the writers going to let her become fae? Is Bruce? Will she let herself?
2. Tamsin and Dyson – do they both survive?
3. What’s Aife playing at this time?
4. Lauren has been taken where?
5. I need details about Hale and Vex’s deal! It’s got to be such a good one. It’s Vex!
Episodes of Lost Girl air Monday nights on Syfy and viewer discretion is highly advised. But watch it, it’s great supernatural, sexy TV.
Author’s Note: As always, please remember that SyFy’s airing of Lost Girl is approximately a minute and a half shorter than Showcase’s. I tend to watch Showcase’s because I like the extra swearing.
