![]() Kenzi has always had an acrimonious relationship with her family, but she’s also shown herself to be forgiving. While those two match wits and Bo ditches Kenzi to chase another wild goose, Kenzi has her hands full, what with her mother, her cousin, and her lover all showing up to dinner. He’ll manipulate anyone to get his way, and I rather doubt Vex’s father was in his army, let alone a general. Even though he can self-censor and form his own legacy, he sees no problem admitting Rainer wasn’t evil, “just defiant,” and verbally comparing Bo and Rainer. “History is written by the victors,” including Trick, one of a few left to tell his story. Drinking blood has voodoo and various religious implications, it’s mentioned by Trick and Vex as a source of power, and has been a throughline in the series since the beginning. The tale involves drinking blood and is dark, as becomes most fairy tales, mythology, New Orleans, and this season.Īfter Bo drinks the blood, her eyes are blue as she tells the revenants to “be at peace,” and the blood=power Bo is an interesting connection. While these are becoming more frequent (witness both ongoing Sherlock Holmes adaptations, one of which gets it right), they’re still more prevalent on Lost Girl than most places. As in this song, which you should do yourself a favor by listening to right now. So Bo is off to find the kingqueenpin.Īs in Marie Laveau, the voodoo practitioner and manipulator of people in societal power. Lost Girl follows a current and generally interesting trend of ‘serial killers for hire,’ only adding an undead spin. There’s nowhere in the actual room for her to hide, so they use Bo’s silhouette in the left foreground of the frame to cover both her swinging the sword, and her stepping into the scene. It’s how we learn how to do things like make out and use tourniquets and kill zombies.Īcacia comes out from behind Bo’s head to finish off the revenant. This is why you need to let your children watch movies. Something else her childrearing did not prepare her for? Zombies. One wonders how much her being raised with a hyperidealistic, unattainable idea of a relationship has lent itself to her infatuation with Rainer. She’s angry, and she’s hurt, and she’s letting Bo know all about it.īo responds with vague feelings-y platitudes, and how “it wasn’t perfect” with Dyson or Lauren, and how her relationship with Rainer is “bigger than love.” She later babbles on to Tamsin and Acacia that she ‘just knows’ Rainer is a good guy, and doesn’t have it in for her. She’s tired of waiting and being left and being patient. Kenzi, meanwhile, is taking the power role in her relationship with Bo. The whole opening scene on the bed is essentially the writer(s) processing the past three years, probably down to referring to sad Dyson as Mopey Dick. Tamsin – instead of the usual Kenzi – serves as the audience surrogate: it opens with her asking, “is that it!?” and continues with her asking things of Bo, of Acacia, which get them to talk plot points. The episode uses a half-dozen callbacks (Hecuba, Dmitri and the identity theft, bobblepaw cat, even a picture of Kenzi undercover from “(Dis)members Only”, see picture below), and it is also wildly self-aware. The moment Kenzi came downstairs with the ring on her finger, Hale was a goner by this episode. The moment Kenzi said “we have all the time in the world,” he was a goner by the finale. The moment Hale pulled out the ring, he was a goner. The second the big deal was made of drinking blood, Bo was going to have to do the same. The moment Acacia mentioned Massimo, he was going to show up and wreak havoc. That’s not a value judgement, simply a statement of fact. Tamsin and Acacia obviously don’t so much as text.Īll this lack of communication in an episode which telegraphs everything coming. Bo did not communicate with Tamsin about Rainer’s looks. Trick never told Bo about his seed, or that pesky little detail about not killing the Una Mens, until he needed something. Bo never told Kenzi she was leaving for the night. Hale never told Kenzi about his ear bleeding. Hale never told Kenzi what that pesky little twig did. My Shakespeare professor always said Romeo and Juliet was a story about how poor communication kills romance and people.Īnd what we’ve got here is failure to communicate.
