Recap / Lost Girl S 1 E 4 Faetal Attraction

Go To

Bo is struggling with feeling rejected... for the first time in her life. Ever. So she and Kenzi go to a bar to get her the cure for what ails her. Booze and casual sex. The next day, one of Bo's lovers shows up with a job; to kill her husband's lover. Okay, that's a lot of nouns and pronouns. Bo slept with a husband and wife duo; the wife is upset that the husband is sleeping with a human florist, and that it's emotional (shucking, sleeping with humans, is beneath fae). Bo refuses, because, you know, murder.

When Bo shows up to check on the florist, the wife does, too. Bo saves the florist and runs the wife off, giving her a little taste of her own medicine in the process (she has an eye mojo that drives people crazy; Bo reflects it off a toaster), then carries the florist back to her loft. When Bo goes to let the husband know that the wife is a little murderous, she finds him headless in front of a meal, and the disturbed wife runs out of the home.

Dyson and Hale pick up the wife at her sisters' home, and learn that she's gone quite crazy. Back at Lauren's clinic, the wife says she didn't kill her husband before dying. Meanwhile, the florist has become a little fixated on Bo. She only put the succu-whammy on her a little. Trying to calm the florist down, Kenzi finds the husband's head in her duffel bag before getting clonked on the head.

It turns out that the husband wasn't having an affair; he had a restraining order against the florist. She's a regular, human psycho who gets obsessed with people and then kills them when they don't love her enough.

The final act takes place at the florist's psycho-killer shack, where she has Kenzi tied to a chair, a cabinet full of former lovers' skulls, and a bomb so she and Bo can go out with a bang. Then, to complicate things, the wife's sisters show up to kill Bo and the florist. One tussle later, Bo and Kenzi run out, and everyone else blows up.


  • Green-Eyed Monster: The florist, as a psycho, and the wife, as a Fury.
  • Mundanger: The florist was completely in the dark about the existence of the Fae, and racked up a serious body count.
  • Once More, with Clarity: The episode opens with the scene from climax of Bo and Kenzi running from the explosion. In particular, Bo's line, "I guess some people just don't deal well with rejection," takes on a different meaning when you understand just how crazy Jenny was.
  • Threeway Sex: Bo has a very enjoyable threesome with a Fae couple at Kenzi's suggestion after they hit on her to get over the fact that Dyson won't be exclusive and sees other women.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Was it really just the toaster reflecting her powers that drove the wife crazy and killed her? Because that seems a bit unexplained.
