Lost Girl S05E03 Recap: Big In Japan
We've lost Kenzi yet again. Bo has
learned that she was born in hell, and she's lit her step mother's
candle which has brought on unknown consequences. Now, Bo looks to
make some home improvements. Shirtless Dyson tries to offer some
advice. She goes in for a kiss, and resists him, claiming that she's
experiencing a headache. A second near kiss, and she's walks away
needing a drink she says. Dyson looks at her tiny roller in
confusion.
A few Asian fae assault everyone's ears
at the Dal with their bad karaoke. One of the singers bumps into
another patron, and he takes issue. The man smooths it over with some
gold as his drink is spiked. The singer notices the off smell before
he consumes it, casting magic over the beverage he sees that its been
spiked by a deadly spell.
Lauren shows Dyson what's in her meat
locker. She has three bodies from the elevator, three human blood
types, but there was a fourth one found, and it's fae. Dr. Hotpants
wishes that Dyson couldn't read the situation so quickly. All the
bodies had no marks, no bruise, but they were all dead. Lauren wants
Dyson to find who the blood belongs to. The phone rings off the hook,
and Dyson wants to her to answer it, Lauren reluctantly answers it,
trying to play it off like a telemarketer. Dyson knows that it was
another death threat, one of many she's received since turning the
Morrigan human. He warns Lauren that she's in danger and needs to be
ready. The fae are scared, but Lauren is use to being a target. She
asks about Bo, if she's still renovating, and he tells her that she
is, but nothing more.
Tamsin interrupts Bo, to get her night
on. She brings her a tray of all things gummy, and yummy and covered
in tube cheese, but Bo doesn't quite appreciate the culinary
delights. Tamsin admits that it doesn't look very good.. She doens't
know how Kenzi put together all that disgusting stuff together and
make it delicious. Bo decides that she'd rather go out, and Tamsin is
all in.
Tamsin is on the prowl, but Bo is
hanging back. Tamsin is hungry, and Bo stops for some weiners, just
not the kind that Tamsin had in mind. Karaoke boy stops them,
propositioning them like hookers, and catches Tamsin's interest. Bo
reluctantly tries to get her groove back, and the girls end up
hopping in the music man's car, with Tamsin taking over driving
duties. Little does the trio know that the man's would be assassin is
following them.
Lauren's assistant, Lisa, asks if she
and Sam can leave. Lauren is taken by surprise, but tells them to
have fun. With Lisa gone, Lauren hears a strange noise. Armed with a
broom, she readies for an attack, but its just the custodian.
Bo wakes up next to Tamsin, unhappy
about having took the boards off the windows as the bright sun rolls
in. She asks if they, but Tamsin tells her no. She asks if she can
feed, and Tamsin rolls over offering herself, but Bo just can't. She
rolls back over and sees that their man from last night is still
there. He's not leaving, because an assassin is after him, and he
wants them to be his body guards.
He treats the girls to a meal, and they
get the low down of just what they're up against. Taki is one of the
best, in fact he was the only one that gave Tamsin a run for her
money during her bounty hunter day. Karoke boy shows off his
impressive freeze skills, but claims its not his biggest trick, when
Tamsin figures out that Musashi is legendary, and she's a little too
fangirl for Bo's like. Tamsin tells Musashi's great story, but his
sister isn't so impressed and pours tea in his lap. Bo gets down to
the skinny, if he's so great, why is someone trying to kill him. He
gives Tamsin a scroll, and she translates. Musashi is ascending.
Lauren pays a sweaty Dyson a visit at
his gym. Is he going to be shirtless the whole episode? I don't mind,
I just need to prepare myself. She wants to be trained, like he did
for Kenzi, to become a shadow thief, less panty removal, more badass.
After her little broom tango, she's ready. Dyson has her step into
his ring, and she asks if he wants to put his shirt on. He does and
the lesson begins. Lauren isn't ready for the light tussle, and she
taps out. Dyson offers to find something that works for her.
Bo, Tamsin and Musashi take a walk in a
dark alley. She wants to find out who sent the hit so they can get it
called off. He's not sure who sent him, but he's sure he's racked up
a few enemies over the years. Tamsin tells him that means that he's
doing something right. On cue, the assassin drops from above,
throwing Bo aside. Musashi doesn't put up a fight, and the assassin
exposes some tattoo on Musashi's shoulder. He drops to his knees,
apologizing for the insult on the exulted one, and takes his own life
as penance. Tamsin offers the injured Bo a feeding, but she turns her
down, telling her she can't.
Bo goes to see Lauren for some
stitches, and tells her about her Musashi problems. Lauren finishes
her stitching, a first for her. It's almost like she's human. Bo
tells her of her issues feeding, and how she tried with Tamsin, and
even Dyson. Lauren seems a little jealous at the mention of Dyson.
Lauren tells her that she should let her try her hand at seduction.
Lauren has Bo lie back and starts kissing on her, but it does nothing
for Bo. She has no sex drive at all. Lauren pleads with Bo to stay,
but Bo has a case to solve.
Bo pays Trick a visit, asking him if
her mother Aiofe ever went through a dry spell. It's a touchy subject
for grandpa. He tells her that the year that Aiofe lost her sex drive
was the longest year of his life. Sex is a vital release for all fae,
but more so for succubus. Trick stammers on, as Tamsin interrupts.
One of Musashi's brothers is behind the hit. They think that it could
be Craig, the one who would be next in line. Bo wishes to tread
lightly, but Tamsin isn't exactly a light touch.
Craig lies down on a masseuse table,
and Bo steps into her role. She tells him that she's there to please
him as she gets to work. She asks to many questions abut Musashi, and
Craig becomes suspicious, grabbing Bo in a choke hold. She can't
break it, or use her powers, but she doesn't need to because she gets
some hot stone assistance by Musashi's sister. She's suspicious of
Bo, but Bo tells her that she's there to help Musashi. She tells Bo
that she's getting in the way, that Musashi can't assend. She's
trying to save him, before its too late. The sister was the one
calling the hits. Seated at the bar, the sister explains to Bo why
Musashi cannot ascend. She believes that he will turn into a giant
Lizard headed man that licks toilets. Bo doesn't think its a real
thing, but she insists that it is. Its an Akaname. If someone is
dishonest with their ancestors they become this thing. Bo concludes
that the sun, the saga, the weeping virgins all weren't Musashi. The
sister won't say how he lied, only that he is not a bad man. He's
just lied for long, that he's come to believe it. There is dishonor
to revealing who was the warrior. She totally pulled a Mulan and let
her brother take the credit. Bo still can't believe she would rather
put a hit on her brother than let him be turned into a humanish
plunger, but she knew that Tako would never kill the exulted one, no
one would. She hoped that it would scare Musashi into admitting the
truth so he can be saved.
She returns home, and finds that
Musashi has already left for his ceremony. Bo tells Tamsin that they
have to stop it so he doesn't turn into an Akaname. The ceremony has
begun, and all ninja clad Bo and Tamsin head in to crash the party
Kill Bill style. The brothers go to defend Musashi, but they're no
match. Only one fights like out of the story that Bo was told, and
she's exposes Tamoe, Musashi's sister and the true warrior of that
legendary battle. Musashi has some explaining to do. Someone thought
that it was him, and he never denied it. Tamoe is bestowed with the
exhaulted one title, and Musashi leaves in shame.
Lauren isn't having much luck with the
whole training thing. Dyson is a very good and patient teacher. She's
having trouble concentrating, and she just doesn't feel like she's
any good. Dyson gives her words of encouragement, and makes her see
how important her staying safe is, not just for herself, but for all
of them Bo included. At the mention of Bo, Dyson gets all sad panda.
He held Bo back from saving Kenzi from going into the portal, and he
thinks that she blames him for that. Lauren assures him that she
doesn't. She wishes that Bo blamed him, or anyone for that matter,
but Bo blames herself. She thinks that Bo needs a friend right now.
He tells her now, and she turns and strikes the board, from her gut.
Bo stands before her mirror in her
kimono, trying to reassure herself. Musashi attacks her, stabbing her
in the gut. He believes that he was meant to ascend, that she ruined
everything. He looks at what he did, and runs like a coward from her
room, as Bo falls to the floor. She crawls across the hardwood,
desperately trying to get to her phone, and failing.
She wakes to Dyson trying to bring her
back. She's on Lauren's operating table, Trick and Liz are there too.
After surgery, they're all gathered around her as she awakens. Lauren
knows that she needs to feed. Tamsin tells Bo that what she's doing
is really stupid. Bo doesn't want to do this right now. Tamsin rips
sensors from Bo, telling her that if she wants to do this, then do it
now. The pity party is over. Lauren fears that Bo is going to die if
she keeps this up. Tamsin points out that that is what she wants. Bo
sits up. She loses everyone, and she knows that she will eventually
lose them all, that that is what being the One, the Queen means.
Trick tells her that they share the same blood, and he will never
leave her, she will never be alone. Lauren is up next. Bo stole her
heart, and she will never ask for it back. Dyson pledged his
alliance, and he plans to remain forever by her side. Bo succubus
Blue eyes flare. She tells everyone to leave the room, all except
Dyson, grabbing him back, and asking if he's still willing to offer
no strings. He is.
Between moans and growls, Bo is getting
the healing that she needs. Lauren and Tamsin sit together waiting
for the pair. Tamsin notes that its a nice office that she has, and
Lauren remarks on the nice equipment she has. Tamsin asks if she's
okay with what is happening in the other room, and Lauren says that
she is, that she and Bo are friends. She places her hand on Tamsin's
knee, and Tamisn becomes suspicious asking what's happening. Lauren
tells her that Tamsin is full of surprises, many of them bad ones,
but sometimes she's just what they all need. Tamsin is reduced to
tears.
Musashi has taken Tamoe's role as the
tea boy. He delivers tea to Bo's table, and he's surprised to see
that she's still alive. She asks his brother to keep an eye on
Musashi, and he plans to, telling him that the toilet needs tending
to. Bo tells Musashi to live his life this time with honor. He
couldn't admit the truth before that he was weak, he was suppose to
be a leader. Bo tells him that being open doesn't make him weak.
Being a good leader means being what he needs to be. He tells her
that he was chosen and she doesn't understand what that is like. She
does, and she thinks its bullshit.
Liz brings Lauren in to see one last
patient. She looks over his record, and he tells Lauren that she
didn't think that he would be so small. He grabs Liz, holding a knife
to her throat. Lauren tries to calm him, telling him that he will get
it for him. He wants it all. Lauren draws it into a syringe, and
makes her way back, she throws it straight to the mans neck, knocking
him out.
Dyson makes popcorn, and Tamsin jokes
that his super nose doesn't work on popcorn, but he tells her that he
likes it burnt. She asks about him and Bo, and he brushes it off. He
just helps her heal from time to time, so he's single. He asks if
she's planning on quitting her job with the force to play PI full
time with Bo. Tamsin has no plans of doing so at the moment, even
with Dyson urging her to. The pair joion Lauren and Bo for movie
night, and horror gets the vote as Lauren tells them that she still
hasn't found any what type of fae the blood belongs to. It's either
very old, or very new.
Back at Lauren's lab a body awakens.
Its the pretty blonde from the elevator. She looks freaked as she
stumbles around on shaky legs. She sees a picture of Lauren and Bo,
and shambles some more. “Wheres a guy to say they're coming to get
you Barbara.” Liz comes in talking on her phone. She's worried
about wearing the wrong bra, and gets grabbed for a second time this
episode. This time by the elevator blonde. She asks if she can see
her, and she can, which turns out to not be so good for Liz. The
blonde snaps Liz's neck and takes her lipstick.
