pirateygoodnessOH MY GOD, LOST GIRL. Here I thought this week's episode was going to be Dyson's Manpain: A People's History, and okay it kind of was, BUT IT WAS SURROUNDED BY STUFF THAT WAS AMAZING.
So. We begin with Dyson, who has just met a ~friend from his past~, who probably has a legit name, but I plan on calling him Broski. They. . .IDK. Shout and growl and wrestle a lot, which is I guess masculine and not weird. There are a lot of scathing things I could say about how this is totally ridiculous, but I shall refrain. Possibly I am not the target audience for Kris Holden-Reid arm wrestling and shouting at his man-friend, and I am okay going forward in life with that knowledge. I will leave you with these caps, instead.
HOWEVER: this ~resurgence from Dyson's past~ leads to a series of flashbacks which I cannot refrain from mocking in good conscience. Because seriously. Seriously.
IT'S LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN THOSE ~HISTORY OF ANGELUS~ FLASHBACKS ON BUFFY, AND THAT TIME RICHARD HAD BLEACHED HAIR ON SEEKER AND EVERYONE PRETENDED IT WASN'T RIDICULOUS.
(Although - to be honest, this is one of the better flashback episodes I've seen done. I mean, I don't particularly care about what's happening in them, but they're broken up nicely, and explain gaps in the story taking place in the present really well. Plus, lol, wenches & mead.)
Blah blah, the plot, and then: this happened.
So the Ash has decided to keep all of his human pets indoors, except when they're working. Lauren, understandably, thinks that is ridiculous, and so she runs away to crash on Bo's couch, because a) it is neutral territory, b) maybe this will end somewhere sexy, and c) she is afraid for her freedom and needs protection. Bo, full ofbutch righteous indignation at this news, tries to storm off to use punching stuff in the face as a solution to this issue.
Lauren stops her, and then. AND THEN, there is this conversation where Bo spends a lot of time grabbing Lauren's shoulders and reassuring her that she can stay, for as long as she wants, no seriously, it's safe here and Bo will protect her.
I - I just. This is the first 300 words of the most epic hurt/comfort fic ever written, AND THEY FILMED IT. Also, GUYS, MY HEART. MY HEART. And Lauren is wearing a sweater thatnnghkf; shoulders I enjoy, and even though Kenzi is obviously not a fan of this situation they have kept her sniping to a minimum, and THIS IS NOT EVEN THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE.
Dyson and Broski have to ask Bo for help, and Lauren's there. It's super awkward for everyone involved. Except Bo, who has the hidden Fae power of being totally oblivious to social boundaries, and Broski, who is a douche.
Anyway. Mongolian Death Worm, Dyson's friend, Dark Fae, Bo needs to go ~undercover~ and use her superspy skills to get it back. Predictably, this ends with her injured and in some kind of trap. Guys, I love Bo, but legit - she's like the Nate Archibald of superheroines.
Dyson is all BO. YOU NEED TO HEAL. MY PENIS AND I WILL TAKE THIS FOR THE TEAM I GUESS, DON'T FORGET THAT MY LOVE FOR YOU IS A COLD, DEAD SHELL. Bo tells him off, and then. . .proceeds to hook up with his friend. At her place. While Dyson, Kenzi, and Lauren hang out awkwardly downstairs.
GUYS SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LOL. WHAT IS BO'S PROBLEM/THIS WAS HILARIOUS/NO SERIOUSLY WHAT IS HER PROBLEM. DID IT NOT, AT ANY POINT, OCCUR TO HER THAT BANGING HER EX-BOYFRIEND'S CHILDHOOD BESTIE WHILE HE AND HER CURRENT GAY ~ALMOST LOVAH~ MADE SMALL TALK WITHIN EARSHOT OF THEIR ECSTATIC MOANS MIGHT BE A BAD IDEA?
Clearly they cut the companion scene to the one above, where Dyson and Kenzi talk loudly about the weather to drown out the sex noises from upstairs, while Lauren frantically ices cupcakes and pretends that she's not simultaneously aroused and jealous and aroused. Bo returns, freshly ~healed~ and in her robe. It's awkward, although Bo is actually less oblivious than she has been in earlier episodes.
Of course, then Broski follows, all, "WOO, SEX. REMEMBER THAT TIME WE JUST BANGED? AWESOME, RIGHT? HIGH FIVE. HEY, FREE CUPCAKES." It's really gross, and Lauren freaks out and starts babbling about CO2 and emulsifiers and it's like, this spectacular critical mass of discomfort.
Bo is sort of sweet, and decides to respond by asking Lauren if perhaps her ridiculous science-word-vomit is because she misses doing science at her lab, after a whole 24 hours ~in hiding~. Lauren offers to leave, as clearly Bo has otherpeople things to do, and she doesn't want to be in the way. Bo insists, gallantly, that she stay.
So, the plot happens. Blah blah, Mongolian Death Worm, and then there is violence, and Bo ends up bringing her back to the Ash and being all, "IDK find a house for her." The Ash is a jerk, and Bo mentions that perhaps his possessions who are alive have, like, feelings. The Ash is all, "Oh, really? They have feelings and people who care about them? PS how is shacking up with Lauren going?" Bo pretends like she's not totally busted. I think this is what the kids call "subtext."
AND THEN THE FOLLOWING. In which BoAND HER BOOBS, SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THAT SHIRT, tell Lauren to sleep in her bed, not the couch, because apparently Lauren is like, living there for a while. Lauren is all, "No no, I'll sleep on the couch, your bed is important to you and would probably fit us both."
Kenzi bails, because it's the adorably awkward gay pre-dating equivalent of "You hang up/No, you hang up." And also she has an irrational dislike for Lauren this week, apparently.
Bo tells Lauren that she's had a ~hard time~ and should let Bo take care of her, and oh god, Lauren looks so sweet back, I can hardly stand it.
Bo tells Lauren to have a good night, and Lauren looks at Boand her boobs and legitimately smirks. I cannot tell if she's like, bitter that Bo is treating her platonically, or endeared because Bo clearly likes her but is an emotionally underdeveloped dork, or if it is a bit from Column A and a little of Column B, but. I appreciate her face.
Lauren gets ready to go to bed - on the couch - and brushes unnecessarily closely past Bo, and Bo's face. It goes from "Hmmm, maybe she'll kiss me" to disappointment to this sweet little smile of YES, SHE RUBBED HER BOOBS AGAINST MY ARM, THIS TOTALLY MEANS SHE LIKES ME, and somehow it is adorable.
Lauren then looks over her shoulder at Bo in a fetching manner, while tossing her hair over her shoulder. It is - good grief, the sexual tension. It's amazing. Also: Lauren's hair. Also, pyjamas. Also, seriously what the fuck, Bo's shirt. Also, GLORIOUS SEXUAL TENSION, WHY ARE THEY NOT MAKING OUT YET.
THE END.
PS: Their relationship is currently hitting every single one of my storytelling kinks. Basically all they need to do is have glorious, frantic sex on a tabletop, and this show will have, essentially, taken my id and filmed it. I am so, so pleased that this show exists.
Also: if there are not at least a dozen stories about Bo and/or Lauren waking up in the middle of the night to sneak up/downstairs and hook up, frankly, the internet will have failed.
