Lost Girl Recap S2E17: The Girl Who Fae’d With Fire

Bo returns home to what she thinks is an empty house. She makes for the ice cream, but Kenzi springs out of her hiding spots with some sticks. The girls do a little stick fighting, and nearly skewer Nate. He finds them to be the strangest girls, but they don’t take offense at all.

Nigel goes to visit the Don, Marisol, when there’s a disturbance. He rushes along with her assistance to see what has happened hand finds her toasted.  The assistant tells Hale that Carmedy wasn’t a smoker for two centuries. He looks around the desk, and she stops him, not use to having a member of the Zamora clan under her roof. Oooh, Siren problems. Hale doesn’t take offense, he’s just doing his job. Dyson arrives, and it puts her at ease to find someone not affliated with the clans. Hale’s father, Sturgess, is giving him an out, and it doesn’t sit well with Hale.

Hale laments to Kenzi, and he tells her that he hates what Dyson has become. Their bromance has hit a bit of a rough patch. He tells her that he needs a girlfriend, and she pulls away. There is a mass noble fae family gathering, and he needs her to just pose as his girlfriend so that his family will back off. Kenzi tells him that she has a boyfriend, but he pulls out a laundry list of items that he’s assisted with, she capitulates on the conditions that there is no groping, smooching or magical impregnations. And best of all he’s brought her a present. He give her his Nona’s old gown and fascinator.

Lachlan goes over the Don’s explosion case. He tells Bo about the three clans of importance: The Zamora, the Bucara, and Finargrin, they’re like the mob with mermaids. Lachlan tells her that the time couldn’t be worst with the Invarel happening. With peace so tentative between the families, it’s the perfect opportunity for the Garuda to strike. Lachlan tells her to team with Dyson and apprise the families of the situation and rally them to the cause. He tells her to remember that they’re a pretentious bunch.

Hale and Kenzi prepare for battle. He warns her that his family is a little old school. He introduces Kenzi to his father, and its clear they do not approve, more so when the maid drops her tray at the sight of a human. His father doesn’t even see Kenzi as a person. Hale’s sister Val is less than pleasant to her as well, she’s a pombero, a fae that steals voices, and uses her brother to demonstrate her power when he doesn’t agree with her. They’re father stops the childish antics, and goes back to human bashing, before voicing his disgust with the fact that his only son is a Siren. Sirens are good enough to sleep with, but not for his son to be one. His father and Val tell him that there is a limit to charity, and cheap, ill bred mortals are it.

Bo and Dyson discuss the case. He wants to play bad cop, but Bo thinks that they should examine the evidence. A photo of the three clans is burned, suggesting that there is a vendetta against the clans.

Sturgess tries to get him to understand the importance of this meeting being in their home, they haven’t been there for 300 years. Kenzi and Bo are surprised to see each other. Dyson has arrived, and Val takes interest in Bo. Sturgess is interest as well. Dyson and Bo have come to question him, and he takes them to the wine cellar. Sturgess throws blame towards one of the other clans, saying that they’re as shifty as humans. With fast speed, he leads Kenzi away from the vintages, asking if she would prefer a wine cooler. Ouch, he couldn’t be any ruder. Kenzi saunters away, and Val gets frisky beneath the table as Bo watches on. Dyson moves her hand away, and Sturgess serves up dessert. Val remarks that the silverware the human used should be washed twice, or tossed out. That’s the last straw, Kenzi leaves. If she wanted to be insulted so, she would spend time with her own family. Val is pleased, and Hale runs off after her. Kenzi is upset over the way that Hale just used her. Sturgess mentions how easy going Bo has been, contrary to the reports, thinking that Dyson has been a good influence. It wasn’t Dyson’s influence she tells him but Kenzi’s. She tells him what she thinks of him, and Dyson stops her. Val makes a very open invitation. Bo and Dyson are off to charm the other two families since she failed here.

Nate surprises Kenzi with some flowers. His sweet gesture isn’t lost on him, even if she did stand him up for another date. She tells him it was the worst date of all time, and it doesn’t make him feel any better. He’s a little jealous of Hale, and she tells him that he’s just a friend. There are too many secrets between them, he wants to trust her, but she’s making it hard for him to do so. He’s right, and its killing her, but she can’t spill it all.

Bo and Dyson seek out Dabner, or rather they seek him out. Something entered his room, on fire, and he barely escaped. He refuses to be silence he says, and his hand begins to smolder. Trick asks if the creature touched him, as he goes up in a flash fire, and is reduced to ashes. Trick tells them that a charuough , a magma fae, sets off a chain reaction that can’t be stopped. They usually disguise themselves as rocks, and they have to figure out his motivations. With only one Don left, they have to head back to the Santiago estate.

Bo finds Kenzi devouring her ice cream. Kenzi lied her butt off to Nate, and Bo tells her that if Hale is ruining her relationship to tell him. She also doesn’t think that her issues with Nate are a fae thing. Lauren’s arrival interrupts, and the whole truth thing lacks punch. She has Nadia in tow, and she excuses herself to the restroom, as Lauren dives in with what she’s found about the charuough in the Ash’s library. They’re bad ass, and have a very famous history. They were responsible for Pompeii, which they refer to as the Rape of Scafati, which Bo recognizes. On Marisol’s desk was the word Scafati. Lauren questions why Marisol would have it, and Bo wonders what the Dons are keeping from them.

Nadia searches Bo’s room, checking out her sword, and looking at herself in the mirror. She came out of her coma, but something isn’t right with her. Bo catches her looking through a trunk of hers, and surprises Nadia. Nadia comments on Bo’s weapons collection. Bo shrugs it off as a hobby, and Nadia admits that she was checking out the competition. Bo tells her that she’s not her competition, and reassures her that it’ll stay between them, Bo remains suspicious though.

Hale is happy to see Kenzi arrive at the Dal. She wonders if he was there with her yesterday. Hale tells her that it was yesterday, and the estate is always crazy. She tells him that Nate doesn’t understand, and Hale offers to talk to him about it. He also tells her that if she doesn’t come, it’ll be another thing that his father will think he failed at. Kenzi still doesn’t understand why he chose to bring her to impress his family, and not Bo. Hale tells her that as the Santiago heir, one day he may be the head of the Zamora clan, and she asks if he needs a tiny human Queen to claim his throne. If so, she’d be perfect. But no, he wishes to set an example, that the fae need to modernize, and co-exist with the humans to refrain from irrelevancy. Hale delivers his Mighty Ducks speech, and Kenzi is in agreement for one more night.

Bo returns to the Santiago house hold, and stalks back to the bottles that Kenzi was looking at. Sturgess comes after her, surprised that she made it past security. She pulls the bottle lacking dust, revealing a hidden door. He has some explaining to do. Inside, she grabs a scroll, and he unrolls it for her, admitting that the Scafati isn’t a thing, but a clan, and Bo remembers his little cake slicing ceremony, and the four parts, four clans. The Scafati clan was the most powerful of all, and they used the charuough under mount Vesuvius to get rid of them with the condition that they would deliver the first daughter born every 100 years, but of course they welched on their deliveries. They tricked the creature, or so they thought. He doesn’t understand this sudden need for revenge, but Bo tells him of the Garuda, and asks him to stop the Invarel. But he cannot show fear in front of the other clans, even if it means death. He traps Bo in the secret room, and prepares to party.

The Invarel looks to be a hoity toity affair. The guests are announced one by one, and Hale worries over Kenzi’s late arrival. Kenzi makes a well, Kenzi entrance, looking gorgeous as always. Hale is delighted by her entrance, his father and sister look than less pleased. Kenzi is worried over her look, but Hale tells her its perfect. Dyson keeps watch, and Val gives chase. The clans posturing about is distasteful. Val continues to try to seduce Dyson, but he points out that she’s his best friend’s baby sister. She’s no baby anymore, and she sees a change in him. She mentions overhearing Sturgess and Bo in the wine cellar earlier, and her illusions of her perfect father was shattered. She breaks down a little, but she isn’t looking for a white knight, but a bad wolf. She offers to let him “feel something” for a change, and leaves him with an open invitation.

Bo crawls her way through a cupboard, and finds Nate lurking around. He snuck in with the caterers, thinking he would win over Kenzi.

Hale and Kenzi laugh over the reactions of the other clan members. He is having way too much fun with it all, and overly glad that she chose to come. Her by his side is almost better than an actual girlfriend. Kenzi laughs over his slightly changed stance of saving the fae from their prejudices. Bo arrives, completely underdressed for the party, and warns Kenzi of the other uninvited underdressed person there. Kenzi takes off with Bo, as Nate waits. A string of “Dudes,” and Bo runs off. Nate wants to talk it out, but without the Batman proclamations. Nate tells her she’s a great catch, and because he’s so head over heels for her he would almost be okay if she was dating a cop behind his back. She confesses that she’s playing girlfriend to get Hale’s family off his back, and Nate understands. Things are good between then, she still can’t confess everything, and Nate accepts that too, but Kenzi has to go. She admits that she loves him, and they’re both a little surprised by her confession. Unfortuantely, Val spies the whole her proclamations, and kisses. As Val passes Kenzi, she steals away her voice.  Val signals Dyson, and he follows. She struggles to speak, and Hale notices. Bo tells Hale that the charuough is there, and she’s off to find Dyson. Sturgess intercepts Bo, hoping that she isn’t plotting anything stupid, but she is. She’s gonna save him.

Kenzi is back in the kitchen getting a drink, when she spies a pile of people ash. With her voice gone all she can do is offer up a silent prayer. She hides out, and tries to slink away to safety, and the scene is eerily similar to the Raptor Kitchen attack. Lucky for Kenzi, Bo is there to knock the charuough away, she heads off after the beast.

Dyson is busy doing bad things with Val, who refuses to take no for an answer.

Bo searches the kitchen, while Dyson gets busy against the wine barrels. Hale catches Dyson and Val, and he’s less than happy. Dyson just broke the bro code in a big way. Bo tries to use a fire extinguisher against the charuough but, its out. Dyson taunts Hale to hit him, but Hale is too disappointed. He takes Val away. Kenzi come with the assist, and her sneak attacks pay off when she leads her to a nitrogen container, which she uses to take out the charuough.

Bo and Kenzi make a big announcement during the Invarel. She shows them the charuough skull, and warns that the Garuda is feeding off their rage, and only getting stronger. Hale sees this as an opportunity to reunite the clans, even if they refuse. Hale punches Dyson, and forces his sister to give Kenzi back his voice. They leave, but Sturgess comes after Hale. He tells him he only used the charuough to keep the family safe, but Hale knows it was about needing to be in control. Sturgess wants Hale to stay close to his family when the Garuda comes. Hale will protect his sister like he always does, he did feel it coming. Bo vows to fight the Garuda, but Sturgess isn’t sure it’s a battle she can win, but he offers his assistance. He’s trying, and he even says goodbye to Kenzi. As they leave, Hale notices his Nona’s fascinator on Kenzi’s wrist. Dyson watches the rest leave.

Bo, Hale and Kenzi celebrate with a bottle of Sturgess’s wine. Bo doesn’t think that there is anything to celebrate, she had an entire room of nobles, and none of them rallied behind her, even with her amazing prop. Hale tells her that he’s willing to throw it all away to fight behind her. Kenzi points out that there are many that will fight, but Hale tells them to not count on Dyson. Nate comes, and Bo and Hale make scarce. Hale tells him he’s a lucky man, and Kenzi tries to give back what’s left of the fascinator. Hale isn’t taking it back, and Kenzi enjoys the gift.

Nadia is still acting all weird. She purposely slices her palms with a knife, tasting her blood. Lauren sees the cut, and rushes to her side. Nadia doesn’t even remember having the knife in her hand, she confesses that she’s scared. As Lauren embraces her, she smiles behind her back.
