Lost Girl, Season Three, Episode Seven: There's Bo Place Like Home

Bo is practicing walking through some sort of fae threshold but every time she tries she is blocked.  Trick reminds her that most fae have years to train to do this but since Bo is a special snowflake, she has only days before she devolves into something Trick says he will have to keep in a cage. Bo says that she needs a break and leaves for home.

On the road, a man and a woman are pulled over with a flat tire.  She is not impressed to be there and has to go to the bathroom.  He tells her to take a squat and she heads quite unhappily into a field.  Suddenly a fae makes an appearance and the sky goes dark. The car falls on Brad killing him, which causes his fiancee to start screaming when she finds his body.

At the Dahl, Trick is sitting down with a specialist.  He says that Bo is stubbornly unaligned and that her father is unknown.  Trick learns that succubi are already at a greater risk of failing their rights and it's even higher for Bo because of her very special snowflake powers. Also, thanks to these special snowflake powers, should Bo fail her initiation, what she would become would be even more horrendous than usual. Trick begs Stella for her help and says that Bo is all he has left.  Stella says that she needs to evaluate Bo and demands that Trick reduce the noise in The Dahl.

Bo is at home a sleep and she is dreaming about the night she killed Kyle and her mother's response.  That night, her mother called her a slut, and a whore, as well as said that Bo was not her daughter.  She is awoken from the dream with a call from Trick, who instructs her to come to The Dahl. Once there, Stella has Bo drink tea, so that she can read the leaves. Stella tells Bo that she harbors great rage and regret, which is stopping Bo from realising who she really is.  Stella adds that the blockage can be traced back to some childhood imprint. Bo says, "it's always mommy issues with you guys."  Bo adds that she worked out her issues with her biological mother.  Trick says that Bo also had a falling out with her adoptive mother and so Stella informs Bo that she must confront the source of the estrangement and forgive.  Bo stands and says, "I will do whatever I have to do to survive this but I won't spend one more minute with that bigot." Trick reminds Bo that the cost is her devolving into an under fae. Bo replies, "let's hope that it's a nice cage."

Bo is at home with Lauren and she is getting dressed.  Bo tells Lauren that there has to be another way and that she could really use some of Lauren's patented nerdness right now. Lauren replies, "Bo I hate to say this but this is one of those occasions where your faeness trumps my nerdness." Bo again says that she can't go back and Lauren points out that it would be a shame to miss the Cherry festival.  Lauren then gets serious and she says that she knows that Bo left because of Kyle and that Bo should try not to blame them for their ignorance.  Bo tells Lauren not to defend them because her mother cast her out like she was some sort of deviant.  Lauren replies that she cannot imagine how difficult this will be for her but reminds Bo that this is her only hope.  Bo says that it's a five hour drive and Lauren volunteers to go with her but Bo says that she needs Lauren to stay behind and do some hardcore doctoring, in case this doesn't work out.  Bo then brings up Kenzi who she feels could use a road trip.  When Lauren asks how Kenzi is doing Bo says, that she doesn't know why the Kitsune targeted Kenzi and that Kenzi isn't talking about it.  Lauren holds up three injectons for Bo to take, if she feels herself start to lose control but warns her that these are the last three because with every injection, the formula will work a little bit less.

At The Dahl, Dyson tells Trick that he doesn't understand why he is letting Bo go. Trick simply says that this is a part of Bo's initiation. Not in the least bit pacified, Dyson declares that he cannot lose Bo. Trick asks when Dyson got his love back and Dyson says that Bo is with Lauren now.  Trick says that Lauren is human and that their relationship can only be short term. Dyson replies that in the short term he is not going to interfere because he loves Bo too much to screw it up again. Trick reminds Dyson that those feelings are not just something he can make go away unless he wants to book another appointment with the Norn.  Dyson answers that his feelings will never go away. Trick offers a drink and Dyson asks about her guide for the dawning and Trick replies that Stella is the best and that Bo will make it through this.

Bo and Kenzi are on the road and have to stop for gas.  Bo says that they have not had a chance to talk but Kenzi says that she's fine.  Bo then asks about the rash but Kenzi focuses instead on getting gas into the car. Her efforts are stopped by Dougie, a friend of Bo's from highschool.  He calls Bo, Beth and says that they found the guy who killed Kyle.  Bo tells Doug that what happened occurred a long time ago and that she goes by the name Bo now, not Beth. Doug asks if she is here for the Cherry Fest and to see some of the old gang but Bo replies that she is there for personal business.  Doug tells her that Brad was squashed by a car yesterday and that the town has gone to crap since Bo left.  The fae creature who attacked Brad yesterday, makes a brief appearance and Bo experiences a moment of weakness.
