We’re quickly distracted, however, by the arrival of none other than Linda MF Hamilton, delivering a message that Tamsin needs to finish the job and deliver Bo to ‘him,’ who could still be The Wanderer/Odin/a fire breathing dragon/Bo’s Father/pick two. You can say a lot of things about this show, but you can’t say it’s not cagey about its reveals. Bo’s outburst of ‘blame Tamsin’ comes with a smile, but also foreshadows at least two bad things to come. The bedside processing also reveals Lauren and Bo are a little out-of-sync, both wanting different things at this point in their relationship and life. This sort of thing also gives us a glimpse into what our characters were actually like in high school. Let’s do this every season, is what I’m saying. Any time we get to see Kenzi be a sorority girl/high school goth/at risk youth is a good time. The last time this happened (S02E16) turned out remarkably well, as Dyson’s wry guidance counselor balanced the hot-for-teacher jokes and Romeo and Juliet plotline. Except instead, because this is not your network procedural, one of the lovers becomes the gory body.īo, Dyson, and Kenzi logically decide they must go undercover at the camp to discover who’s killing at-risk youth. While helping pick up the mess of broken plates and scrambled eggs, Bo continues to postulate that the Dawning made her ‘feel reborn,’ and Kenzi whispers ‘This is not the Bo that I recall.’ Kenzi and Lauren have a quick chat which summarizes the audience fears that the change may be for better, may be for worse. The refusal to really delve into what the Dawning meant continues with a jump cut to the B-plot: a scene out of a crime procedural where two lovers stumble upon a gory body right at the climax. One two three AWWWWWWwaitasecond, shouldn’t she know better than to be sneaking around in the clubhouse? Maybe someone who constantly leaves her door wide open just doesn’t think of such things. who turns out to be Lauren trying to serve breakfast in bed.
The opener begins by also mixing tension and humor, with Bo in a sexy red outfit (we know she doesn’t sleep in that, so she must be trying something new for Lauren) and Kenzi sporting a boxing glove and a katana. Overall, and in this episode particularly, it shifts gears like few other shows can, succesfully going from one of the more ridiculous monsters (made of moss!) to A Breakup Heard Round the World. Recently, sci-fi has gone serious, but as this article points out, Lost Girl has her cake and eats it, too. Walking the line of both is a tricky thing, but Lost Girl‘s premise almost demands it. Some attempt one thing, but are the other (it’s possible I got through Season 1 of Hou$e of Lies because I was never aware it was supposed to be a comedy).
