Alright, guys. It's time for THE SERIES OF ENTRIES WHERE I DUMP ALL THE CAPS I HAVE OF LOST GIRL. This is one of. . .at least three, so I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE PICSPAMS.

Lost Girl 1.13: A Recap With Pictures

We begin, as we always begin, at Bo and Kenzi's. Bo and Dyson have just finished having athletic heterosexual sex, and are in bed. This is mostly so that they can recover from the previous episode, where Dyson accidentally made out with Bo's slutty succubus friend who is actually her mom.

In bed, Dyson, ever the gentleman, tells Bo that they need to talk. Bo's like :D :D :D SURE, I LIKE TO TALK DIRTY, but actually what Dyson means is that he needs to tell her about how her slutty succubus friend is actually her mom, who is evil and possibly has some mental health issues.

Bo is upset, because Dyson KNEW and he LIED and lying is WRONG. This. . .is not actually unreasonable of her. The argument moves from the bedroom to the living room, where Kenzi is reading sexy pirate romance novels. Kenzi is the best bro ever, so she agrees with Bo.



So the plot of this episode is really complicated and silly, because it's Lost Girl and honestly sometimes the show mythology is just ridiculous. But basically: Bo is a succubus, and she met this awesome bff succubus a few episodes ago, but that succubus is secretly her mom. Her mom is secretly evil, and was imprisoned by an even more evil king for many years, which probably didn't help with her evil. She probably wants to start a war or something, and Bo is pretty sure that it's her job to stop her, because a) she is definitely qualified to do that, and b) when your parents go on murder sprees, society's rules dictate that you try to intervene singlehandedly instead of calling the police.

Also DYSON IS A LYING LIAR WHO LIED TO HER, AND SHE IS LIKE TOTALLY BROKEN UP WITH HIM ETC. I am not going to lie, I sort of love the weeks where they're broken up.

Anyway, Bo and Kenzi have to go see Lauren. Lauren is sweet and hurt and happy to see Bo. Bo's all, HEY BROSKI, REMEMBER THAT TIME WE HAD SEX? ANNNYWAY, I'M GONNA NEED A FAVOUR. It's a little obnoxious. She wants to know how, hypothetically, if there were another succubus around, how would a succubus fight another succubus to the death. It's really subtle.

Lauren is smart and has gorgeous hair, and also goddamn the top button on her blouse. Unffff. She agrees to help, but only after Bo promises to have coffee with her so they can process make future plans to have sex have that talk where Lauren explains ~her past. It's charmingly gay.



While Bo and Lauren are talking about making plans to talk about their feelings and maybe make out a little, Kenzi gets a phone call from Hale. They proceed to have this super charming moment, where Hale sasses her and Kenzi makes a lot of "oh my god, what happened to your brain when you were younger" faces, while I quietly try to pretend I don't ship them sort of a lot. He loves pulling her pigtails! She secretly thinks he's sort of hot and not so bad for a Fae! Together, they get drunk and make jokes about Bo and Dyson fight crime!

Except Hale is not actually there to hang out with Kenzi, he's there to con her into meeting Dyson, who wants to convince her to convince Bo to speak to him again. Even after he LIED. Because she may be in MORTAL PERIL.



Unfortunately, Bo's succubus BFF/mom has already fed her some magic cookies and kidnapped her, and is now entertaining her at a mansion she's been keeping, full of half-naked man-thralls. I - seriously. Yes. It's fantastic.

Anyway, they have a few conversations about Saskia's plans - and Saskia's name is actually Aoife, now that she's Bo's mom - and we discover that what she would like most is to use her man-thralls as suicide bombers and start a war, so that she can rule over the remains of society. BO CAN HELP. :D? She makes a lot of very delicious, over-the-top-crazyfaces, JUST IN CASE WE WEREN'T CLEAR THAT SHE'S EVIL. BECAUSE SHE'S EVIL.

Bo declines to help.



Ohhh and then there's this awful scene where the Ash gets hit by an explosion and Lauren tries to do CPR, and it's. . .wrong on like eight levels, but whatever.

THE POINT IS, it leads to the following scene, where Lauren is in her lab/clinic/tiny Fae field hospital, ~tending to the injured~ and looking fabulous, when Bo and Kenzi arrive. And ohhh, Lauren is so happy to see Bo. I think she actually says something along the lines of "thank god you're alive," and my heart grew three sizes, because ♥Hot Doctor Lauren♥. Bo, once again, is like HEY EX-LOVER. I NEED A FAVOUR. REMEMBER THAT HYPOTHETICAL SUCCUBUS? SHE'S HYPOTHETICALLY MY MOM. AND I'M NOT SAYING SHE ACTUALLY EXISTS, BUT IF SHE DID I'D NEED YOU TO NOT TELL THE COPS SO I CAN TRY TO REASON WITH HER ONE LAST TIME.

Lauren, of course, doesn't bat an eye, because she's kind of used to Bo. Instead, she gives Bo everything she needs to break into the Ash's vault and steal some kind of magical anti-succubus necklace, because she is ADORABLE. And tries to encourage her to not go ahead with her not-plan, because it's a terrible idea, but we all know how well that's worked out for Lauren before, so she sort of half-asses it.



While Lauren and Bo are discussing world politics, Hale comes by again, and omg this happens. He has to go deliver some important people to a safehouse, and Kenzi is all LOOK. NOT THAT I CARE OR ANYTHING, BUT TRY NOT TO DIE, YOU LOSER. THEORETICALLY I MIGHT BE A LITTLE SAD. WHO WILL I EAT CHICKEN WINGS WITH. And then they do this little secret handshake, and it's just about the sweetest thing in the universe. HER LITTLE FACE. HER SILLY GESTURES. EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSE IS A FOOT TALLER THAN SHE IS.



AND THEN OF COURSE WE COME TO THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE. Namely, the part where Bo is about to leave and then Lauren GRABS HER AND KISSES HER IMPULSIVELY. IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, BECAUSE SHE IS A BOSS. And fs;lafldk my HEART, she just makes the sweetest feelings faces and clearly REALLY LIKES Bo, even though Bo is dumb as a rock and emotionally stunted and they're both kind of awkward, and I just want them to work out their shit and buy a couple of German Shepherds and settle down.

Bo is all YEAH WE'LL TOTALLY GET COFFEE IF I DON'T DIE. PEACE OUT. But in a sweet way, where it looks like she actually does care, because Bo and Lauren have insane gay chemistry. Once again, my heart goes pitter-pat.



LOLLL so Bo and Kenzi manage to break into the Ash's secret warehouse and steal the anti-succubus necklace, and then Bo wants to test it, and lol. Ordinarily, this kind of borderline-homophobic EW SAME-SEX KISSING REALLY MUST YOU would be off-putting, I admit. But something about the dynamic between Bo and Kenzi makes it actually read like Kenzi's mostly put off because Bo's like her sister, and as a result, it's charming.

Also, Bo handcuffs Kenzi to a rack and runs away, because THIS IS SOMETHING SHE MUST DO ALONE.



And then some other stuff happens.



A short list:

1. Dyson gives away his feelings for Bo to an old woman who lives in a tree/possibly is a tree, in exchange for her not dying when she runs headfirst into an unwinnable fight against her evil mom with no plan or backup. This is, I guess, tragic, because he Can Never Love Bo Again or something, IDK. Except if he doesn't love her, he shouldn't care that he doesn't? I think I'm just not seeing some essential element of this storyline, because honestly that seems like a pretty rad deal. I think he plans to be tortured about it, because he was planning to give up his werewolf powers, not his feelings.

2. Oh there's also some stuff with Trick, who is the Blood King and has magic diary powers.

3. Bo beats up her evil mom, who falls to her death. Except that her body disappears, and as we've all learned from sci-fi: if you don't see a body, then see it get set on fire and buried, they're probably coming back to life next season.

4. Bo and Kenzi get drunk at home, talking about how the universe is totally fucked and Bo's mom totally isn't dead. It's pretty endearing.

MAYBE NEXT SEASON SHE WILL HAVE SEX WITH LAUREN AGAIN.
