Last season in its very very very oh-so-very confused
finale, Kenzi
sacrificed herself for Bo since she was Bo’s heart. Bo is still very sad
about this, we see, as she rock climbs in a desert to retrieve a shoe from a
nest. That would be one of the evil hell slippers (did I mention that last
season was confused? And more than a little weird? Because it was – and
evil hell shoes were part of it). Hurrying to climb down to avoid a trap,
she falls – and gets really nastily wounded at the bottom. She’s found by three
not-very-nice men who want to take her home and “take care of her.” Why which,
it’s implied, they mean rape.
She devours their chi (just sucking in all three of their
chis, she seems to have mastered this distance feeding on multiple targets
thing) and heals. She leaves them alive but incapacitated and leaves with her
Hell Shoe.
She goes home which she now shares with Tamsin who has hidden the other shoe (last season she did say that Bo couldn’t have both shoes. I think. That season was confused). Bo’s plan is to put on both shoes because they can get her into Valhalla (Odin appreciates ballet slippers?). Tamsin (who still seems oddly childlike after her rebirth – yes, last season, yes confused) says she can’t go because she won’t come back for Reasons (she can’t say). When Tamsin (a Valkyrie) took Kenzi’s soul to Valhalla, something terrible happened which still gives her nightmares – but she can’t explain what
Bo goes to the Dal where Trick and Dyson are where Bo
makes it clear she won’t be talked out of saving Kenzi. They give her some well
wishing (and Trick wants her to pass on good wishes to his wife, Bo’s
grandmother) and Dyson’s declaration of love for Kenzi and fealty for Bo.
Over to Lauren who appears to be in some kind of fae
hospital (judging by the man breathing fire) and Bo arrives with the Evil
Shoes, worried about the side effects of malevolent footwear. This is why she’s
come to Lauren to monitor and drug her in case she goes on a shoe inspired
killing spree. Yet despite that, while Lauren describes all of the many
precautions she intends to take, Bo puts on both shoes. They sink into her
flesh leaving her barefoot. Lauren hurries over but Bo vanishes.
Bo appears in pretty ritzy looking surroundings to be met
by a woman, Freyja, who tells her she’s late. She’s in Valhalla and the woman
has mistaken Bo for the florist. Valhalla has a florist and a Turkish Spa
apparently. Freyja advises Bo to check in and before Bo has any wish to say she
isn’t supposed to be there, a woman who isn’t in their system is declared “a
stray” and Freyja pauses in her florist troubles to open up a fiery black
portal and dumps the interloper through it. Some hotels have the strictest
anti-riff-raff measures.
Bo goes to the desk to try and find Kenzi but the
receptionist refuses to touch her, meaning she can’t use her succubus powers.
Plan B involves succubussing a maid. Having stolen her uniform she goes in
search of Kenzi (which involves sniffing buttons for chocolate). She goes into
a random room that happens to be the right one – and finds Kenzi. Screaming,
babbling and hugging follows.
