Lost Girl Recap S04E13 (Finale): Dark Horse
Alright
folks, it all ends tonight. Break out the tissues, there’s a battle brewing and
there will be casualties.
Bo walks
away from Rayner. He tells her that his intentions were true, but Bo still
feels the fool. She stood in front of her friends and chose Rayner over them.
Rosette was his trusted warrior, she was turned against him, and she threw
herself into a fire. Her father is someone who even the blood king fears, he
manipulated all of them. Rayner knows they have an advantage that he never
predicted though, they share something real something good. Bo’s neck hickey
flares, and she doesn’t know what is happening to her. Bo sees it as his mark,
and Rayner tells her that they will figure it out together.
Rayner takes
Bo to the Dal. Trick thinks that Rayner did it to her, and the bad blood
between them flares. Bo stops them, and tells Trick that it’s the Priapus doing
it. She tells him that they ran into some horse god worshipping nuns, and they
think that he is her father. Rayner adds that they bound together to break his
curse, but they unleashed something worse. Trick thinks that Rayner should have
never left the train, the one that Trick put him on for challenging the blood
laws. Rayner asks when he will take responsibility for the chaos that he’s
caused. Neither men are backing down, but Bo tells them that her father is
close, she can feel him. He’s trying to cross the bridge, he needs her out, the
dark Queen, Bo. Bo has always known she was dark but now she needs him to tell
her everything about her blood.
Massimo
digs, he’s driven past the brink to complete insanity. Nature and Nuture have
worked together in him to make a monster. Massimo thinks that he will be a god,
but with the death of the last Zamora heir he knocked out his chances. Lauren
mocks that his only chance for immortality will be a pop song about the tragedy
of his mommy issues. His hair has gone grey, and he swallowed the seed, and now
the unamense is trying to devour him. Lauren reasons that it took six fey to
control the unamense power, and the human brain can only take so much. He
wishes to make Evony proud, but Lauren doesn’t think the Morrigan would want
this. None of his past actions made her happy, not the Valkyrie hair, not the
maiden, he remembers she did want the maiden, and he plans to bring her the
succubus’ head.
Trick admits
that the true identity of Bo’s father remains shrouded from him. Rayner
continues with his petty bickering, but Bo puts a kibosh on it. Trick tells
them that when Aoife attacked the dark when her mother was lost, he had no
choice but to hand her over, that he had to prove that his blood laws were
infallible. Rayner realizes that Aiofe was her mother. Aiofe spent centuries in
the dungeons being tortured and used, she has Trick’s light blood, the blood of
a mage, blood that drains life from nourishment. Bo has the blood of her
father, that allows her to draw life from many victims, but she can also
transfer it to someone other than herself, which is from her mother. She has
hybrid blood. Trick fears that blood will help her father escape. Rayner sees
that her blood can lift curses, resurrect armies as they fall on the
battlefield, or enslave them if she’s coerced by the wrong hand Trick points
out. Bo wants to check out the portal, but Trick thinks it’s a trap. Bo asks
where he suggests she go, and Massimo has an answer for her. He tells her that
he has Lauren, and all he wants is Bo dead at the Morrigan’s feet.
Dyson comes
to see Kenzi. She tells him that Lauren’s blood is everywhere, her cell phone
left behind, and she was looking for something in the dark archive, and she
found some painting that looks like Bo. Dyson wonders what happened there. The
Morrigan tells them that she goosed Lauren’s berries right where Kenzi is
sitting, and Kenzi scrambles off the bed. Evony is still experiencing hot and
cold sensations, and Kenzi jokes that she’s going through fae menopause, but
Dyson smells different, she’s human. Kenzi punches Morrigan, having waited
forever to do that. Dyson asks how that happened, and Evony admits to Lauren’s
miracle snatch did it, that normally she’d have incinerated her, but that her
son took her. She need Lauren alive, to fix what she’s done. Kenzi asks if her
son is vex, but the Morrigan laughs, as if she’s let her son wear “that too old
to be goth shit if he was.” She admits that Massimo is her son, and Kenzi flies
at her, claws out, before Dyson catches her. One night with a human led to the
birth of the infection that is Massimo. Dyson locked him up in the Dal, but
Kenzi reveals that Vex let him out. Dyson asks where Massimo would take Lauren,
he’d go to the archives.
Bo asks if
Evony sent him, and if she wasn’t so busy dealing with a real threat she’d make
him pay for what he did to Hale. He asks her if she’s ever heard of a Rayju, thunder
beast, and releases what he took from her. It knocks both Rayner and Trick
down, but does nothing to Bo. Bo punches him, but Massimo just turns the other cheek, and sends Bo
reeling. He smashes a chair over her back and throws her through a table. Trick
realizes that he stole the seed from his vault, and Massimo swallowed it whole.
He plans to deal with the druid, but Rayner wants to handle it. Trick lets him,
and Massimo breaks Rayner’s arm. He tells Trick to tell the Valkyrie that his
soul is hers again, as Massimo twists him around. Rayner looks at Bo with an
apology on his lips, and lets Massimo snap his neck.
Bo awakens
back at her house under Tamsin’s watchful eye. Trick drug her home, he went to
the light fae library to see if he could find anything that could help. Tamsin
assesses her injuries. Hale and Rayner are gone, Lauren taken, Bo has really
let things get out of hand, she’s let everyone down. Tamsin tells her to get
her shit together, tells her to start acting like the chosen one. Bo succubuses
her, and she notices that Tamsin tastes different, happier. Could it be the
wolf loving she’s getting? Tamsin brushes off her curiosities and Bo admits
that she’s not strong enough to take on Massimo, Tamsin plans to try to make
him die over and over again. Dyson and Kenzi come running. Dyson embraces Bo,
but Kenzi, not so much.
Kenzi is
still wearing Hale’s ring, but she’s not ready to forgive Bo. Tamsin tells
Kenzi that life is too short to hold grudges, and Kenzi understands just how
short it is with Hale so recently dead. With Rayner dead, Tamsin has a second
chance to deliver it where it belongs in Valhalla. It could end her exile,
Kenzi barely hears her words. Kenzi reads one of the prophecy books, but its
all foreign. She asks Tamsin to translate. The daughter’s heart will close the
portal. Tamsin wonders if Bo has to rip her heart out of her chest, Kenzi tells
her to not tell Bo yet, that they need to get Lauren back first. When Tamsin
leaves the room, Kenzi tears the page from the book. Oh Kenzi.
Bo tells Dyson
that Lauren comes first, that they get her out or they get dead, that her daddy
can wait. She needs something from Dyson, and his mind goes to sex, but she’s
already fed off Tamsin she says and he’s surprised, maybe jealous. Bo tells him
that if she wants to stand half a chance against Massimo she’s going to need a
witness. She’s going to get rid of her dark fae contract, but now Rayner is
dead, the unamense is dead, and so are her ties to the dark. She rips up the contract,
but Dyson doesn’t think it works that way. He asks if she’s okay, she’s not.
Rayner was her partner against tyranny, he was going to help her end the
conflict between light and dark, a good man who made a bad choice. Dyson
understands now why Hale was so grounded, he had a purpose. All his life he has
been searching for a King, and now he understands he should have been looking
for a Queen. He swears fealty to Bo upon bended knee, and Bo lifts him in an
embrace. She thought they were fighting, and they kinda were. He tells her that
he loves her, and that is why she needs him to serve with her not for her.
Tamsin interrupts. She found more about the portal, its in the home of the
horse nuns.
Bo and Dyson
find the portal. Horse head, broken bits of carousels, Daddy has a thing for
horses, but they don’t have to wait to see what is going to come out of the
portal. A trio of revenants come stumbling out. Bo sucks their chi before Dyson
can stop her and she goes all dark and her eyes glow Dune blue. She tells Dyson
in her creepy voice that she is his Queen whether he swears it and that her
army cometh. Ru-roh. She was bound by blood and now she will bathe in it.
Humans and fae will all fall before her. Bo can’t get control back, she tells
Dyson to do something, and he kisses her. Hot wolfy kisses can bring a girl
back from anything. She loses the glow, and tells him he needs new moves, but
it seems to be a proven method to cure her madness. The Revenants growl, and Bo
and Dyson prepare to take them on.
The Morrigan
pours a drink, and she finds herself hot for Trick. She asks him why they’ve
never hooked up, but Trick isn’t into bitches. The Morrigan figures that if the
Priapus is as bad as he seems to think he is, they should have a little fun
first. Trick isn’t interested. He thinks to resurrect the terracotta army, or a
talking mace, but the Morrigan tells him that there is only one way to close a
portal. The Morrigan wonders if they’re going to just sit around and wait for
enslavement and death, but Trick has something more heroic in mind. If she’s
gonna go down, she’s going to look fabulous, and she does look fabulous.
Dyson and Bo
took out the trio but not easily, and that’s only the beginning. Too many have
died on the battlefield. Bo asks about that kiss, Dyson isn’t apologetic. He asks
if she’s okay, and she is. She feel awesome. The room shakes, her father is
close. Dyson tells her that she’s channeling him through the portal, tells her
to control it. But Bo is looking to get a little out of control. She’s going
after Lauren, and she tells him that he has to contain the dead warriors that
come out, to have Tamsin cast doubt in them, and then take them out. He asks
what about Kenzi, and she tells him to keep her close and keep her safe, a tall
order, but Dyson is up for it. He’ll hold back the armies of hell for her.
Bo puts on some
jewelry, Kenzi and Tamsin arrive. Kenzi and Bo hug it out. Kenzi gives her her
sword, and tells her that she’s going to be fine. Did that feel like goodbye to
anyone else?
Lauren
struggles in her chain, as Massimo tells her that he is Evony’s son, that he
was burned alive for seven days, and he can handle the Wanderer’s gift. Lauren realizes
that he has Rayner’s foresight, that he killed him. Massimo is straining under
weight of all the gifts, and Bo is prepared to help him release it all on the
end of her pointed blade. Bo asks if Lauren is okay, but Lauren tells her that she
couldn’t come. It’s kinda her thing though, she saves the world. Bo taunts
Massimo with his mommy issues, but he tells her that his mother just wanted him
to be the best and now he is. Massimo has all the power of the Unamense now,
and it is a nifty bags of tricks. He brings out last gift from when he was
human, and hits Bo with Hale’s siren song. Bo goes down.
Kenzi
embraces her destiny as she toys with something in her fingertips.
Massimo tosses
Bo to the ground. Lauren tells her to let Bo go. Massimo taunts Bo that she
will breathe her last breath watching him kill the good doctor. The voices in
Massimo’s head grow louder. Lauren is close to being out of her cuffs, having
learned from Kenzi’s Shadowthief training. It’s not just panty removal she
says, and she’s ready to kill Massimo. Bo succubuses Massimo, but he cuts her
off. He finds her origins fascinating,
the powers of the Priapus. He thinks that being raised by humans made her soft,
that the keeper was right to warn her of the shit storm coming, and Bo can
barely stand. He points out that being helpless, human, feels crappy. The Morrigan
asks if that’s how he’s always felt, and Bo takes her hostage. The momma’s boy
loses his mind with his dear mommy in jeopardy.
Dyson and
Tamsin take out some Revenants. Her fighting is very impressive. They’re
outnumbered, two against the scourges of hell, but they aren’t alone. Trick is
there too to beat back the horde, he asks where Kenzi is, but Tamsin says she’s
safe.
Massimo
threatens kill her if she hurts his mother. Evony mocks her son’s threat
delivery, and Bo wonders how the now human Morrigan tastes. Bo succubuses her,
and Massimo tells her not to hurt her. Massimo moves to strike Bo, but Bo moves
out of the way, and Massimo chi sucks his mother. Bo is special not because she’s
a succubus, but because she learned how to stop sucking someone’s chi before they
died, and she knows how to give it back. Massimo is trapped, unable to stop the
flow of Evony’s chi into him. She tells him to use his love to break the
connection, and he does but its too late. He runs to his mother’s side, and
tells Bo to make it better. She can, but she’ll need someone else’s chi to do
that, a life for a life. Bo takes his chi, and he doesn’t fight her, and she
returns it to Evony. As Evony recovers Massimo pulls her into his arms, Lauren
reaches into his pocket. He thinks Bo can’t kill him, but Lauren has stolen his
twig, she crushes it in her fingers. Massimo thinks it all doesn’t matter since
they’re all gonna die soon anyways. Bo beats Massimo down for Lauren, for Hale,
and stabs him through for breaking Kenzi’s heart.
Kenzi walks
though the Revenants, and not one of them attacks her. Dyson sees her, and runs
to her to see what she’s doing there. She tells him that she cannot wait any
longer. They’re out numbered and Dyson is injured. It’s time to close the
portal. Dyson doesn’t think they’ve found a way yet, but Kenzi knows how. She
has a part to play. Trick tells him that destiny has a sick sense of fun. There’s
only one way to close the portal, and she’s it.
Lauren
notices that Bo is wearing her necklace. She asks about Rayner, Bo tells her that
she was wrong about Rayner. At least Lauren has always been right about Bo. And
Bo has always been impressed by Lauren. All the girl gushing is great and all,
but there’s an impending apocalypse still. Bo warns that being a human doctor
who can turn the fae mortal, she’s a target, but Lauren is ready for it. Bo
comments that she is dark, but she’s not, she’s Bo’s. Bo finally remembers
about the hell portal, and wants to go off to save the day. But Lauren is
staying behind to protect Evony, she made her vulnerable, and now she needs to
make sure she’s okay. Lauren sends Bo off to her destiny.
Tamsin wants
to pull back, there’s too many revenants. Dyson doesn’t accept Kenzi’s explanation
of Bo’s heart. Kenzi has always been Bo’s heart. Kenzi reasons that things are
never straight forward with the fae, the heart is a symbol, its Kenzi. Dyson
doesn’t want Kenzi to go afraid what the synvat portal will do to her, but she
knows that they need Bo, and she needs her to help. Dyson thinks it should be
him that goes. Kenzi knows that Bo loves Dyson, that she loves Lauren, but she
knows that she is the heart. Kenzi has a plan. Rayner had the gift of
foresight, he knew this had to happen. She reasons that Tamsin now has Rayner’s
soul, the golden ticket. She can take her to Valhalla, that’s where she’ll
wait. Dyson still doesn’t accept this. Kenzi hopes that if she can go out like
this, like a warrior, then maybe she can see Hale. She promises to wait for Bo
in Valhalla, that Bo will never stop fighting until she is returned. Something
big is coming from the portal. It’s now or never. This is the only way for Bo
to save the world.
Bo’s neck
hickey flares more, and Bo finds Kenzi’s engagement ring in pocket.
Kenzi walks
away from Dyson towards the portal. All he do is watch her. She steps around
bodies, past Trick. Dyson roars as Kenzi ascends the ramp. Bo comes just as
Kenzi reaches the opening. She rushes to stop her, but Dyson stops her. Kenzi
walks in, and is hit by the pure energy of the synvat. The portal collapses.
Tamsin rushes forward to Kenzi’s fallen body, weeping over her. Dyson utters
Valhalla to Bo. Tamsin goes full Valkyrie, and extends her wings. She stands
over her, as Bo breaks down completely. Tamsin takes Kenzi away, leaving Bo,
Dyson and Trick behind.
Tamsin lies
before the gates, when Dyson arrives. She tells him that he shouldn’t be here,
but he is. She starts to cry, tells him that Kenzi is gone. Dyson tells her
that they will get her back. She tells him no, and that he cannot let Bo find
the second Hell Shoe. Dyson tries to find out what Tamsin saw, but she’s shaken
up, and he carries her away.
Bo drives
through the cemetery, bearing sunflowers. They buried Rayner near the battlefield.
It seemed right that he should lie next to the ones who fought and died with
him. There has been too much dying, she’s lost so much, but she has to remain
strong, now more than ever. She lays the flowers upon Kenzi’s grave. Her grave
stone says friend, warrior, heart, the perfect description for Kenzi. Bo misses
Kenzi now more than ever, and she more than that she needs her, her courage. Bo
carries Kenzi’s ring with her. She’s done crying, done being scared. Bo vows
that no one else will die on her watch. Whatever it takes she will get Kenzi back.
They want Bo afraid, but they should be the ones afraid.
That’s the
end of the season. Hopefully Ksenia Solo will be back next season, she has to
be, she is the heart. And the song that just broke everyone’s heart is “You” by
Keaton Henson.
