Lost Girl S04E07 Recap: "La Fae Époque."

WARNING: This article quite clearly contains spoilers of the highest level!

This episode was SO FUN.

It was so fun I thought it was a winter finale.

Lost Girl, making us say WTF? since 2010.

We start with Bo (Anna Silk) dragging this dude into the police station.

Who is he? Where did he come from? Apparently this is all irrelevant because Lost Girl once again does not answer any questions.

They do reveal however that this is the guy who can lead the gang to Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried), who has been sentenced to death… For killing a bunch of people. Oh. Wow.

If that's not sex hair, I don't know what is.

After the title credits roll, we go to Lauren (Zoie Palmer) sticking probes to Bo’s head. All will become clear.

It seems they have recruited some kind of memory Fae so that Bo can look right into Dyson’s memory and figure out what really happened in his past.

Lauren pulls out her “magic ingredient.” (Heh.)

SING IT: You put the string round the succubus and tie it all up.

And the magic ingredient is… a red string?

The string binds two people together according to Lauren, and this is how Bo will enter Dyson’s memories. Oh, and the memory Fae gets one too. She’s going along for the ride.

The all-knowing Lauren also lets Bo know that she’ll probably find her memories merging with Dyson’s, and she might see faces she knows, rather than the faces from Dyson’s actual memories.

Somehow, Kenzi rocks a black hooded cloak.

While Dyson is chained up in the Una Mens’ cellar, it appears Hale (KC Collins) has found a way to smuggle Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) down there, who secretly ties the connecting red string to Dyson’s ankle.

But there are better places we could be averting our eyes.

Bo – in Dyson’s mind/body (ish) – wakes up in the past.

Why thank you, Dyson's memory, for this stellar image.

Looks like a pretty great party, until some kind of Fae hunter comes charging in.

But Bo/Dyson has already escaped.

Bo looks in the mirror, and though she looks like Anna Silk, through the looking glass she looks like Dyson. This is gender bending at its supernatural finest. (This episode is also full of Anna Silk in adorable almost-androgynous outfits.)

Any guesses on why they're dressed like Oliver Twist with rifles?

Unfortunately for Bo, Dyson got caught by the Fae hunters, who seem to want his head for sleeping with their daughters.

Luck is on her side in the end though, as its past Trick (Rick Howland) to the rescue! He leads Bo/Dyson to sanctuary.

“Fitzpatrick”, a.k.a. Trick, tells Bo/Dyson that they need to find this certain pair of mystical shoes to be worn by the true hero of the Fae world… I’m sure this will make more sense in due course. Right?

Bo was realizing this was not her iPod. "Who listens to Katy Perry, anyway?"

Back with Lauren, Bo is mumbling to herself. Her utterances include “he who wanders” and "boobs". Both of which strike Lauren’s attention, naturally.

In the subconscious, Bo/Dyson is greeted by a stunning young bar tender in angel wings, who just so happens to have Kenzi’s face.

Holy Kenzi. (Also note Bo's amazing outfit.)

She gets Bo/Dyson a beverage, and we also see a prince who seems to (quite hilariously) have Vex’s (Paul Amos) face.

I should probably note that this is the first time that Bo seemingly randomly sees a gym coach in the bar. Suspicious.

But the biggest surprise is yet to come. You see, the club singer, Flora, has this face:

All hail Queen TITania.

Whuuuuut! Yes, Flora’s face seems to have merged into Lauren’s, and she’s singing. In French. And the crowd love it.

I also kinda think the voice may actually be Zoie Palmer’s voice. One can hope, cause that would be awesome.

Bo/Dyson is dragged away prematurely however, as these are the steps Dyson took when this memory first came to pass.

Cutest scared face I've ever seen.

Hale is trying his best to convince the Una Mens to let Dyson go, when Kenzi’s (still undercover) phone starts to ring.

Busted.

The Una Mens are super offended and sentence Kenzi to death too. Ooooooh dear.

Hot damn. Suddenly attracted to Lauren.

Lauren’s doppelganger at first seems happy to see Bo/Dyson and gives them a big smacker on the lips.

That then turns to a big slap round the face. And then there’s more kissing.

Bo is all “ooh, Vex’s royal lookalike is coming soon, let’s steal his shoes.”

And so the plan is hatched.

Very weird. But weirdly hot.

And then we cut to the sexing.

Bo is obviously turned on by the fact that Dyson is boning Lauren, and that’s kinda weird. Is there anyone on this show who hasn’t kissed the entire cast?

At which point, the real life Bo starts moaning “Lauren” and the real life Lauren is all “awww yeah, succubus wants ma bones.”

(I apologize that this is so confusing.)

Who knew green eyes and blonde hair would look so badass?

Back in the memory of Dyson, the plan is afoot. The Prince (with Vex’s face) enters the French Lauren’s dressing room and she attempts to steal the shoes.

BUT the thing is, he notices. So before he can hurt the mademoiselle, Bo/Dyson punches him right round the face, and (French) Lauren slips the mystical shoes on.

More plot twists ensue though: Lauren’s eyes turn this weird yellow colour and she realize she ain’t supposed to be wearing these shoes.

She kicks Bo and escapes, but Bo is hot on her heels and runs after her.

Pointless Lost Girl guest star #16389.

Turns out, it was Flora/Lauren who killed a bunch of people outside while possessed by the shoes, not Dyson.

The memory Fae who came with Bo decides it’s time to leave, but Bo refuses… So, forever the gallant type, the memory Fae pulls the red string off her ankle and leaves anyway while Bo/Dyson stays behind.

The memory Fae wakes up with the real Lauren, and tells her what happened. She leaves just before telling her not to take the red string off Bo no matter what.

Look at that forehead wrinkle.

A catfight ensues and Flora/Lauren ends up being shot by some guy. (Dyson also tells her he loves her just before that happens.)

Real life Lauren is increasingly worried, so she decides to join Bo in Dyson’s mind.

In the meantime, real life Dyson is telling real life Kenzi the entire story in the Una Mens’ basement. (Unnecessary, but they had to give Kris and Ksenia something to do.)

Trick always looks great. Always. Even in robes.

Past Dyson is then visited by Trick, who wants him to join him as his ‘second’. He obviously obeys and HURRAH, Trick reveals that he’s the blood King.

Then REAL LIFE Dyson (again, sorry for this ridiculous confusion) is all like “let Kenzi go and I’ll give you those damn shoes.” Ooh.

Lauren then enters Dyson’s mind too, and tells Bo she’s getting confused and her memory is melding with Dyson’s. Disaster.

BUT JUST LOOK HOW CUTE THE OUTFIT IS.

Bo then notices that the coach that was in the French singer’s club earlier is walking by.

The coach holds up Dyson’s championship belt (apparently he became a competitor in the WWE without anyone noticing) and Bo realizes Dyson is trying to tell her something.

And thankfully she undoes her red string and wakes up.

Okay, Doccubus shippers. I'll give you this (very dark) screen cap.

Bo realizes she has no idea how to wake Lauren up, so she thinks maybe true love’s kiss will work… And it does!

They quickly head to wherever the f*ck the Una Mens are after finding the hero’s shoe inside Dyson’s wrestling belt.

Dyson and Kenzi are freeeeee! Kenzi is a free elf! I apologize.

For such coveted shoes, they are damn ugly.

Now everything is fixed, the gang sit in the Dal. Dyson tells Bo he’ll keep the other shoe safe for when the true hero arrives.

We end with Bo, announcing “here I come.”

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN!

***

Eeeeek! Things are really getting started now!

No Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) once again. No fair. But what a great episode!

What did y’all think? Tell us in the comments!

WARNING: This article quite clearly contains spoilers of the highest level!

Alright, alright, No Tamsin. (Rachel Skarsten.) So let’s see if there’s anything else we can work with here.

Who knows what's flying into that mouth?

So this week’s episode is all about… Opera?

Next thing we know, this Fae Maria Callas is singing people to death off-stage. Ah, of course.

But then we find out her poison. Her poison just happens to be super high-pitched dog whistle sounds. Oh.

So happy to see Kenzi worshipping Tamsin as much as we do.

Cut to Bo (Anna Silk) and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) in the Dal. Kenzi is pining over a missing Tamsin, while Bo is still pondering over that darned dark alignment she’s acquired.

And the opera lady stumbles in. Bo and Kenzi run to aid her, while Kenzi slyly steals some dude’s drink in the process. Classic.

Apparently she’s Russian… And somehow she knows Bo, who has no recollection of the woman. How convenient.

Boobs o'clock #1.

Bo goes running to her Grand-daddy (Rick Howland), who tells Bo that Oprah (I can’t even attempt to spell her Fae name, so Oprah (not Winfrey) it is), needs to rest.

Trick then imparts his all-knowing wisdom and tells Bo that Oprah’s voice invokes powerful memories. Yay!

And this next pairing is what really makes this episode.

Charming.

Yup, The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) turns up at Lauren’s (Zoie Palmer) apartment with pizza and her home brewed beer, “Dark Belch”.

This is the sleepover we always wished we were invited to.

Evony playfully kicks one of Lauren’s moving boxes, which she seems overly protective about. What’s in it? Her entire Star Trek collection. Adorable.

BOOBS O'CLOCK #2. OH. MY.

Back in the Dal, Bo and Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) are trying to bang (snore) despite knowing it’s against Dark/Light fraternizing rules.

But hurrah! Trick saves the day and stops them before it’s too late.

And so Bo returns to Oprah.

More boobs for good measure.

Oprah is all “I sang to you and you loved it! You made me come find you!” But Bo is all “when did this shit happen?!”

So Oprah does her singing business and Bo has a weird flashback/memory type thing. Who knows what's going on at this point?

Also, apparently Bo promised Oprah her freedom, which prompts Oprah to tell her to look inside her knife.

Okay, okay. I will stop this boobs nonsense eventually.

The note in the knife handle reads “[Oprah], you will sing for me and I will bring you freedom.” What a coincidence.

Then terror strikes. Some dude in a white tunic storms into the Dal, yelling Oprah’s name. Apparently he owns her?

It also happens that he has a GPS hidden in her necklace, and if someone were to attempt to remove said necklace, it would choke her. Fabulous!

Bribing the women with knowledge. I like it.

Over at the scene we’re far more intrigued about, Lauren’s received a gift from Evony: the private journals of Charles Mayo, Albert Einstein, and Marie Curie. Cool!

Also cool? Apparently they were fellow Fae. Ha! 

(Side note: Lauren says she disagrees with the methods they used to test on humans, and The Morrigan is very respectful of that. Hmm…)

Damn, gurl. Look at those arms!

Evony explains that if she comes to work for the dark, she wants Lauren to feel free.

She also says morals are overrated, but she’ll respect the fact that Lauren gives a shit about them. Fair enough.

Back with the boring side-story, the peeps over at the Dal are setting up for a private concert with Oprah.

Calligraphy porn.

She begins to sing, and Bo has a vision/memory about when she was back on the train and she found a crown with her name on it. “Isabeau.”

Once she snaps out of it, it appears some other guy who rivals the white tunic guy has come to steal Oprah away.

The catch with this guy is, he’s programmed her necklace to explode on demand. This is some Inspector Gadget shit right here.

Thankfully Oprah needs a rest to avoid death so all is well.

Everyone knows Lauren is secretly loving this liquid courage.

Over at Lauren’s place, Lauren recites her own rendition of the Captain’s Log, rephrasing it to include Evony.

She’s also tipsy, and that is thanks to The Morrigan’s 25% alcohol beer. That’s my girl.

Anyway, Kenzi interrupts because she needs Lauren’s help.

Sorry, this is a terrible screencap but Kenzi's cheeks looked too cute to pass up.

Kenzi gets what she needs from Lauren, who explains that Evony helped her get a new dark Fae owned apartment in the city. (And Kenzi smells the flirtation. YES.)

In the Dal basement, Bo tells Oprah that she won’t let anything happen to her. And Hale (KC Collins) is lurking in the shadows, listening in.

It also appears that Dyson has made some device to listen in to Oprah’s conversations with Suitor #2, but they secretly escape. Dun dun dun.

Average day.

Bo succubus sucks Suitor #1, aka Mr. White Tunic, to find out where Oprah went.

Turns out Suitor #2 (his name’s Marcus, but that’s boring,) and Oprah were actually in love the whole time and were trying to escape from Suitor #1. Mystery solved.

Marcus and Oprah are also apparently on the way to deliver her ‘death note’ to White Tunic’s family so she can be freed. Noooooooo!

Does this look like a Shakespearean tragedy to you?

Long story short, here’s how the day is saved.

• Oprah is persuaded not to kill the family.
• Marcus uses his whistle to stop her from leaving.
• Hale enters, siren-ing Marcus, but prompting him to whip out a gun.
• Bo jumps in front of Hale to block the gun.
• Oprah jumps in front of Bo to block the gun. (Confusing, yes.)
• Oprah sings Marcus to death, killing Kenzi’s ears in the process.

Phew. What a ride.

"But wait! You didn't give me my memories yet!"

We conclude this epic with Oprah dying in Bo’s arms, just after she gives her a little gift.

Oh, but here’s the best part.

Kenzi and Hale are sat on a bench and everything is so heartfelt AND KENZI KISSES HALE. FINALLY!

Worst part? Hale secretly discovers that his ears are bleeding. Nice.

You should get that checked out, lover boy.

Back at home, Bo has a memory of again being back on the train… And she discovers the Wanderer has left a creepy hand print inside her neck.

Did I say inside? Yes. And I meant it. Gross.

Wait, I take it back. HERE is the best part.

Nope, not a cheesy music video.

Evony gives Lauren an access all areas pass to the dark’s labs, and calls Lauren “an incredible woman.”

And THEIR HANDS TOUCH.

Which doesn’t seem like much until –

YES! Get in theeeere. (Soz to be super British with this caption.)

That’s right, LAUREN KISSES THE MORRIGAN.

Okay, I super duper ship this. But then something happens which makes my hatred for Lauren increase. Yes, I almost forgot I hated her.

Lauren pulls out a mirror, and tweezes off a weird lip mask thingy. Did she just swipe Evony’s DNA or get a lip print or something? SHE’S SO MALICIOUS AND I HATE HER, MAN.

TAKE IT, BITCH.

So Bo and Dyson are doing the nasty, when Bo refuses to look at him.

They stop banging and… Oh dear, the creepy hand print is for realsies.

Aaaand enter the Una Mens! To steal Dyson away. GOOD.

Oh. Not so much a fan of this.

What did you think of this week’s episode?

Personally, didn’t love the lack of Tam Tam. Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Lost Girl S04E05 Recap: "Let The Dark Times Roll."

WARNING: This article quite clearly contains spoilers of the highest level!

Huzzah! An episode without Dyson! Nothing against Kris Holden-Ried, but Dyson is a terrible character.

So what's going down this week in the land of Fae?

Dark? Oh haaaaayl no.

We pick up exactly where we left off, actually. And Bo (Anna Silk) calls bullshit on the Una Mens, who seem to think she has aligned herself with the dark. She also figures out that Vex (Paul Amos) has something to do with these shenanigans.

Then some cray cray Fae-ness hits the fan.

What an odd way to have a threesome.

Bo somehow has the power to succubus a bunch of people at once these days... But they fire back and Bo collapses in a heap on the floor. Oops.

The Una Mens are all "go pledge allegiance to the dark leader or die" and Bo is all WHOA BITCH I get it.

So off she goes with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and is surprised to find that the leader of the dark is actually...

Girl power.

Aw yes, Evony. (Emmanuelle Vaugier.) Wearing a kick ass wig, I see.

Evony is super shocked but also super happy that Bo has chosen her side. All Bo is interested in though is finding Vex.

So, naturally, Evony invites Bo and her friends to her party tonight. I smell fun.

Trick: Hottest older man in the West, apparently.

Cut to Trick (Rick Howland) who is trying to find out whatever he can about the Wanderer... whilst also getting hit on by the anonymous caller. Go, Trick.

Trick has some weird squealing walnut-type thingy in a box that will not be explained just yet... or even in this episode. But I guess we should take note of it.

Then the Una Mens come and steal him away. Ut oh.

Just look at that back.

Over at the Morrigan's party, Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) and Kenzi are having a few drinks while Bo argues that she knows herself, and questions why everyone's looking at her.

Of course Evony knows that they're just delighted to see the unaligned succubus has finally found her way to the dark. Yay!

She tells Bo that she's gonna give her all the resources she has to hunt Vex down, and she has one other gift for her...

They might as well have given her a halo. Look at all that angelic light.

I'm starting to think the dark are way better than the light. I mean, the light only ever do the worst things to Bo and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) and just look at this. Adorable.

While this is all going on, we keep cutting to Trick with the Una Mens... but let's be real, no one cares. (Basically all you need to know for now is that he's not loving them and he sneakily gets out a sword. Just in case.)

Bo and Lauren are like "we need to talk", which quickly turns into - 

As Bo says, "waste not, want not".

Meanwhile in the other room, Kenzi and Tamsin are minding their own business, helping themselves to the sushi buffet when - 

And suddenly I'm attracted to this guy.

Hi, Bruce! Love this guy. 

Kenzi cutely names him "Br-ushi" (get it?) and he tells her that he's been trapped under a dark Fae's influence because he helped her out of a pickle last season.

She tells him to get up - completely ruining the sushi - and Kenzi pulls the tablecloth off another table to give it to him to use as a shirt... and she inadvertently finds the poor newlyweds that the dark Fae killed to steal this venue from. Ha.

Evony is loving this view.

And then comes possibly some of the best lines ever to come out of Lost Girl. When Evony catches Bo and Lauren kissing, her exact words are:

"Boriiiiing. What's next? Are you gonna braid each other's hair? Scissor already!"

And Evony is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters. 

She tells Bo that she'll give her those resources for Vex if she gives her her blood oath that she'll bring him to her afterwards.

I'm actually kind of scared of her...

Enter this lovely creature. Evony tells Lauren she's also needed on this 'mission', because Bo will need a drug to make Vex powerless so that he'll come along willingly.

I'm still not entirely sure what the point of the lady in the pink dress is, and the next few scenes don't really help either. But she is pretty funny so we'll exchange our "Dear producers, what the hell were you thinking?" for "haha, thanks for the laughs."

I knew there was a reason I was creeped out.

So in the next scene, the scavenger stabs a poor, faceless creature to death to steal their pointy knife. (See, why couldn't Bo just have done this? Confusion.)

Oh okay wait. There is a very lame excuse for her coming along, but really it still wasn't necessary. Bo could have done this herself and saved time... But I digress. I'm not gonna turn this into a rant about pointless Lost Girl characters... Maybe.

Back at the party...

DJ Tamsin in the house.

So Kenzi and Tamsin figure out that any Fae can claim ownership over another captive, so Tamsin announces her new control over Bruce.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the current holder of Bruce has the right to defend what they own and this is what she's up against.

This bitch is badass.

Yeah, good luck Tamsin.

Back in a random alleyway, Vex controls a poor, innocent woman into getting the pointy knife thing from Bo, Lauren, and Miss Frills.

The woman kicks the scavenger in the shin, and Lauren runs over to help. Just a bruise. And then Bo rushes off to follow the woman to Vex, complete with syringe.

Boom! Right in the jugular.

Long story short, Bo finds Vex, Bo kicks the ass of the woman under Vex's control, aaaaand Vex gets his hands on Bo's drug and paralyses her.

Oh also, Vex seems to have a hand that is sort of... Well it looks mummified.

In between listening to Bo ramblings about her love for Lauren, Vex tells her that the Una Mens cut off each of his family members' hands so they had no power. And he is going to perform a self amputation on the zombie hand to make sure his other hand remains.

Everyone's favourite Sid Vicious wannabe.

During this terribly sad story though, Vex manages to get one awesome line out.

"I will miss Ginger. But at least I'll still be able to dance with Fred."

Vintage pop culture references for the win. Oh, by the way, the paralysis is wearing off on Bo.

Somehow back at the dark Fae party, this is happening.

Ahahah.

For some reason, Tamsin has chosen to fight her battle for Bruce in the form of a dance off to the death. Genius.

Tamsin busts some pretty terrible moves, some average ones with the help of Kenzi, and her opponent spins on her head does all sort of amazing shit.

But then, Tamsin gets her valkyrie on.

Still hot. I can't help it.

Somehow, this causes her dance off rival to attempt a somersault and she ends up landing on her neck.

Go, Tamsin! Bruce is now theirs. 

Meanwhile, Vex takes the potion he's created but it just has an adverse reaction. Bo, for some reason, is attempting to convince Vex not to chop his own hand off, but - 

Ouuuuuuuch!

Bo can finally move, but she's too late. Vex's hand is gone.

When he stands back up, Bo tries questioning him once again about how he turned her dark. He reveals that he actually doesn't know anything about it. Oh.

Anyway, Vex is left with a stump.

Power stance, go!

Bo takes Vex's hand back to Evony, who explains that she doesn't want to hurt Vex. "Unlike the light, the dark don't hold grudges". All she cares about is destroying the Una Mens.

Bo demands Evony to call for her archivist so she can find out who signed her over to the dark.

Ew. Stop that.

Of course a good old pen and paper isn't good enough for the Fae and their records are kept on the archivist's skin. He peels the top layer off, which is enough to make me stop eating for a week.

The skin reveals that yep, Bo did sign the agreement. There's nothing she can do and she owes Evony her loyalty. Oh one more thing, if she wants to overturn the agreement, she'll have to find her sponsor. Only trouble is, no one knows who this "Rayner" is.

Back with the dreaded Una Mens...

Trick puts his sword away. No pun intended.

It is revealed that they have decided to make Trick the acting Ash. Ooooooh.

Then there's a little, kinda heartbreaking scene in which Lauren tells Bo she can't be with the light anymore and that she feels like she owes something to the dark. (They did look for her when the light abandoned her, after all.)

No worries though, because Bo is also technically dark now... so they will be seeing each other.

So, so cute.

Back at Benzi manor, Kenzi sets Bruce free and tells him to "spread his wings and fly". Vomit. What a cheese-fest.

But the camera then pans to Tamsin, who smiles at these instructions. Please, please tell me they're setting us up for a Valkyubus LoveFest. Please.

The episode ends with this cute Grandfather-Granddaughter exchange:

Naw.

Yes, Bo's grandfather is now the acting ash for the light fae, while she is (as Trick says) "darling of the dark." Cute.

Meanwhile though, the camera cuts to Trick's cellar where... someone has stolen his squealing walnut. And the Una Mens find out that this Rayner guy is Bo's sponsor.

They have an odd reaction, which is something along the lines of "Rayner? No, this can't be. Never again."

What an odd end to the episode.

So what did you think? Better or worse than last week?

We really do love hearing your thoughts, so keep them coming!
