[BO narrating] Previously on Lost Girl:
[LAUREN] Somebody's trying to send us a message.
The Ancients are behind this.
[BO] My dad is Hades.
He's trying to use me for something.
[IRIS] What can you do?
[MARK] I'm a shifter.
I serve my keepers.
Your keepers?
I mean, my parents.
[TAMSIN] I know where your heart truly lies.
It's with me.
--[BO] Tamsin. --[TAMSIN] Don't!
[BO] Zeus' lightning. Takes the power of
an Ancient to kill an Ancient.
Please, let me go.
[CASSIE screams]
It's time for us to meet the other side of the family.
[BO] You are part of this team, Tamsin.
You can't just walk away.
We need you. I need you.
[TAMSIN grunts] You know what?
That's really nice of you. But we both know it's not true.
And I don't need you either.
Tamsin.
[TAMSIN] Oh. These leather pants yours?
Doesn't matter. You keep 'em.
I know you like to reuse old styles.
Fashion snark, huh?
Is that where we're at now?
Come on, Tamsin. We can talk about this.
You know what? We don't need to.
I was upset and now I'm not.
I realize there's no winning with you.
What game were we playing again?
Uh, doesn't matter where your body is,
your heart'll always be with her.
Have you been listening to John Legend?
[TAMSIN] You and Lauren...
You two, you'll just always be a couple.
Even when you're not.
Damn it!
Where will you go?
Wherever the universe takes me.
[clears throat]
Motel Six. And then wherever the universe takes me.
Oh, I forgot.
[TAMSIN] This came for you.
[BO] Tamsin.
I lost Kenzi. I don't wanna lose you too.
It's better this way.
♪
[BO] No way.
It's always nice to be popular.
Yeah, well, speak for yourself.
I didn't get an invite, did I?
Count yourself lucky.
The question is, why now?
Human sacrifices. Murdering a football player.
Mutilating the oracles. A storm that almost
wiped out the colony.
They need a palette cleanser?
[chuckles]
These supposed Ancients are related to my father.
He's behind all of this, I know it.
In your oracle vision you saw him, didn't you?
[TRICK] What did he say?
A bunch of riddles.
Greatest evil is the greatest mercy.
If we want to get to the bottom of this,
we're gonna have to go to the source.
And we're gonna have to get you a new suit.
What do you say? You up for your first mission?
[MARK] Yeah, yeah. Wh-What's the plan?
Mythology states even the Ancients have an Achilles heel.
So we find out what it is and we take them down.
[BO] Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are you sure he's ready? The kid hasn't even shifted yet.
[DYSON] He's gotta become a man sometime.
First mission, huh?
Are you gonna get yourself your very own vest?
Oh, please. God no.
[BOTH chuckle]
Yeah, well... Give me a call if you need backup, all right?
I'll call you if I get bored.
[chuckles]
[elevator music plays]
Hope they have an open bar.
Except you won't be drinking.
No alcohol. Right.
And?
Keep your back to the wall. Know your exits.
And trust your gut.
If you feel something's off, listen to it.
If the plan changes--
Roll with it.
I got it.
You know, I hate to be a buzzkill, but are we gonna
talk about the possibility that this could be a trap?
No?
[elevator dings]
[LAUREN whispering] Now are we going to talk about
the possibility that this could be a trap?
[GUESTS] Surprise!
[clapping and cheering]
Okay.
I need a drink.
[opening theme]
Does this bracelet go with this outfit?
Don't be silly. It's a one of a kind. It goes with everything.
[HERA] Did you exfoliate?
I used the dead sea scrub, just like you asked me to.
Good girl.
[HERA] You know how Zee likes to show you off.
Mm-mmm.
Wouldn't want to upset her.
Because she'll yell at you.
You know what? Maybe you're not ready for this party.
[HERA] Maybe you should stay in here tonight.
[IRIS] No.
Lie down for a while.
No! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
I really wanna go to the party. Please.
Aw, bunny.
Okay.
[HERA] Come along, my pet.
[HERA] Well?
The guests. I should go greet them.
[HERA] Can't wait till everyone sees how special you are.
Mmm.
[HERA] Oh, and get the guests to try the clam dip.
Zee tried a new recipe and...
it's been a whole thing.
Thank you.
[LAUREN] Uh, hold it right there.
Just...
Okay. All clear.
Drink up.
Forgot how much fun you are at parties.
[MAN] Great party, Bo. Great party.
Yes. Thank you. That's right. The party's for me.
Yeah. And nobody seems to know why.
This party reeks of my father.
Do you think it's possible whatever brought in
the Ancients brought Hades with them?
The Greek Gods are throwing me a surprise party.
I'd say that anything is possible.
Preliminary sweep of the penthouse complete.
No sign of the Ancients.
And the clam dip is amazing.
Uh, there seems to be a fair number of Fae here.
Yeah, well I don't like it.
Whatever they're planning is big.
Yeah, and they want an audience.
Well, then we'll give them a show.
Well, I'm on Hera duty. Soon as I see his smug little face--
I--I can't weaken his power, but in an effort
to avoid another bug shower,
D-Phenothrin, Prallethrin, Deltamethrin.
It's bug spray, essentially.
Wait. Can't you just turn them human like you did the Morrigan?
That process took months.
Isolating each unique Fae chromosome
and then inversing of the--
Okay, okay. Just--give me the syringe. Thank you.
And I'll keep an eye on the crowd.
In case there's any unusual activity.
I'll be by the clam dip.
What about me?
Iris. You know her best.
[DYSON] See if you can find out something about her parents.
I'm glad you changed your mind about wanting to help.
United force, right?
Just show me you can take it seriously.
Oh, you know it.
[LAUREN] I'm on samples. Blood, sweat, saliva.
Anything I can break down.
[BO] Okay, while you do that, I'll greet the hostess.
If I can find her.
[BO] Uh, Lauren wait.
About what happened between us, during the blackout.
Let me save you the trouble. We slept together.
It was a one-time thing. I get it. I'm okay with it.
Okay. But here's the thing.
I'm not.
[BO] I mean, I was... but it--it's just...
There's always gonna be a reason for us not to be together.
[BO] And I don't want to put this off any longer.
Oh boy.
"Oh boy" yes or "oh boy" no?
And we're back.
Although, it is a very nice back.
We'll finish this later, okay?
[LAUREN] Okay.
[party commotion]
I didn't realize you got an invitation.
[TAMSIN sighs]
It's nice to see you too.
I'm glad you're here.
We need you.
[TAMSIN] Yeah, Dyson filled me in on
operation Ancients go history.
I'm game.
Well maybe you should take it easy.
Look, I'll play superhero with you tonight.
But there's no way I'm not having fun while I do it.
[music box plays]
You look beautiful in that dress.
[IRIS] It's okay. I don't mind you in my room.
I mean, it's nice to have company.
Hera never lets me have friends over.
Well...
I hate to break it to you, Iris, but...
you and I, we aren't exactly friends.
Your hair's so shiny. Can I touch it?
That's a pretty bracelet.
My parents make me wear it.
Your parents?
Speaking of which,
[BO] why don't you tell me where they are?
The blonde one. What do you call her?
Depends on who you ask.
[party commotion and music]
Excuse me.
[clears throat]
[HERA] I'm happy you came.
I thought after our last interaction you might be...
bugged by me.
I thought you might think that. So, I brought you a little gift.
[HERA groans]
What the hell's in that?
Oh, a little precautionary measure.
What can I say? Every dog has his day.
Then again, some dogs just need to be neutered.
Hm.
Which reminds me. How is my bitch Alicia doing?
She wanted me to give you this.
[GUESTS gasp]
Is that all you got?
I guess I'm not match for a "god."
[ZEE] In Egypt I was Amun, Oden to the Vikings,
Jupiter to the Romans.
But you'd know me best as Zeus.
Zeus?
As in white hair, thunder thighs, plus... a dude?
Just like a patriarchal society to depict
its most powerful member as male.
I've had many forms, but currently Zee is a she.
And my aunt. Huh.
Question is... what kind are you?
The cool aunt who buys you condoms
or the crazy aunt who ruins Christmas?
Oh, wait. I know.
You're the kind that murders innocent people.
When you're trying to make your way in a new world,
people are bound to get hurt.
Hm. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
My hands are clean.
Mostly.
Which brings us back to Daddy.
Hades may have inspired this shindig,
but let's get one thing straight.
You and I are on the same team.
You're on a sinking ship. The balance is quickly shifting
and I don't wanna see you go down.
I happen to be quite buoyant.
Deflect with humor.
Why did you send the oracles after me?
To find your truth. The thing that you crave above all.
Your untimely demise?
[ZEE] Come on, Bo.
We both know what your heart truly desires.
It's freedom from your father.
[ZEE] I'm here to grant it.
How?
Why would you do that?
Because, I told you. I want the same thing as you, Bo.
But we have to stop him first.
Stop him from what?
From using you to end the world.
[BO] We're leaving. Where are the others?
Bo. What's going on?
[TRICK] Did you--
My aunt Zeus wants to emancipate me from Hades.
[BO] Yeah, I know.
The one thing that I want. To dangle it in front of me,
after everything that she has done. The nerve.
But wait. Why?
To stop the zombie apocalypse or whatever dramatic end of days
daddy dearest has in store for us.
Where are Dyson and Lauren?
Maybe we should consider--
[BO] Never mind. I'll find them myself.
Glad you could make it, Trick.
The Aegis shield.
Mythology says you were never without its protection.
No glove, no love.
[BO] Trick. You've gotta see this.
[TRICK huffs]
[party commotion and music]
The drink of prophecy.
The original original.
I never forget a drink.
What is it?
In ancient times it was custom to drink
the Coquetel to reveal the future.
It's the only way you can see for yourself the pain
Hades will cause if you stay bound to him.
Cassie was our friend.
Do you actually think we're gonna drink this?
I don't have time to braid your hair.
The longer you're connected, the stronger he becomes.
Cheers.

All those lives. Everything.
Gone.
Oh god. I need to sit down.
I've never felt so much nothing.
Complete and utter nothing.
I have. In Tartarus.
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
How do we stop him?
Hades has been banished to the underworld
for thousands of years.
That little "property of" stamp,
[ZEE] that's his ticket to the ground level.
It gives him his power. It's like an... umbilical cord.
So I've been feeding him?
An all-you-can-eat buffet.
Okay. Let's say I agree to this emancipation.
How does it work?
Some anointing, some chanting. The ushe.
Let me guess. A sacrifice?
No one is getting hurt,
unless you keep hemming and hawing.
Tick tock.
Time to divorce Daddy.

[GUESTS chattering]
What's the most beautiful girl at the party
doing out here all alone?
Oh no. You didn't mix the clam dip
and cos-Bo-politan, did you? It's lethal.
There was a couple of pixie twins out there who think
I'm a real riot. Just saying.
Hey. What's wrong?
Do you ever wish you could just fall asleep
and wake up a whole new person?
Robocop?
I bet people don't tell him what to do all the time.
Be good, Iris.
Wear this bracelet, Iris.
Don't ruin the party, Iris.
Look, if you ask me, this party sucks.
Are you leaving?
Maybe. That depends.
Whether you wanna get out of here or not.
Maybe go someplace and talk.
About what?
Whatever you want.
Maybe what's upsetting you so much.
Won't Dyson be mad at you?
Nah. He knows I can handle myself.
Yeah, well. Hera doesn't.
I'm his divine messenger.
His bidding is my duty.
His bidding? Look, you're not his property, Iris.
And you know that.
Mark, you do what Dyson tells you.
Dyson and I might share the same DNA,
but it doesn't make him my boss.
I do what I want.
Right now I wanna get outta here. With you.
Well, there's this place I've been wanting to show you.
I bet no one will even notice we're gone.
[LAUREN] I just hope you haven't contaminated the sample.
You're welcome.
Oh, please. You loved it. If I didn't know better,
I'd think you were scrapping over some girl.
Maybe the girl who's sleeping at the boxing gym?
You know, you're right. You don't know better.
Remind me why we're so confident
that they're not lying.
Trick and Bo both saw the vision, Dyson.
We can't not try.
[HERA] Excuse me. Hello.
But there's no reason why we can't
set up some collateral. Just in case.
I was hoping to give you a little tour.
[door opens]
[MARK] When I said disobey your parents,
breaking and entering wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
[IRIS] You told me to do what I wanted for once. This is it.
[MARK] What? Get thrown in jail for a night?
Well, it's better than living with Zee and Hera.
Besides... no one has been here for a couple of days.
Wait. How do you know that?
[IRIS] I bet they have a king sized bed.
Let the emancipation begin!
So is there like a book of chants
or do I get to choose my own?
Chanting comes later. Our first course of action?
Carving your father's mark from your chest.
Make your choice.
And if I choose wrong?
You die.
Pick your poison for the extraction.
Choose correctly or the ritual will fail.
Can I phone a friend?
Only you can decide.
I don't make the rules. Take it up with the Erinyes.
Leeches.
Belonged to a Naiad.
Lovely creatures.
Used by water nymphs for cleansing rituals.
Pros: Painless. Won't leave a mark.
Cons: Ew. And, ew.
[ZEE] Xiphos sword.
A classic.
Would get the job done. Sharp. Precise.
Obvious.
Horn of Minotaur.
The Minotaur. Feasted on children.
A sacrifice to hold off the plague in ancient times.
Hm.
This is it.
I've never seen it before.
How do you know it's the right one?
Because I just know.
The Amethusto dagger. Interesting choice.
It's said to keep its owner sober of evil thoughts.
Are you sure?
Rusty dagger. Final answer.
[HERA] Is this really necessary?
Quid pro quo. You're our little insurance policy
in case anything happens to Bo.
Yeah. We find out first and you pay.
Right?
[TAMSIN] At least I'll have something to
keep my mind off Bo.
Oh, okay. Ignoring me. That's mature.
Or we could talk about it like two grown adults.
You know, there's a novel idea.
Why would I want to talk about Bo's emancipation with you?
You've been wanting to talk about this all night,
haven't you Tamsin?
Hm? Go ahead.
[LAUREN] You. Me. Bo.
Look, Lauren. I entered the game and I lost.
That's life.
The best woman won.
I'm over it and you should be too.
Oh. Well, that's very noble of you.
Not really sure what to say.
Well this is nice.
What the hell are these? Are these restraints?
Okay. Before you overreact, let me explain.
Why you'd want to restrain a child
that makes me not wanna kill you?
[TAMSIN] Is that possible?
No. No, I don't think it is at all.
Okay, look. We didn't--
We didn't do it to hurt her.
We--We did it because we have to.
Why? Why do you tie up a little girl while you sleep?
Are you afraid of her?
Doesn't make any sense. Powerful Fae like them.
Except, what if Iris is more powerful than they are?
Can we hurry up and rip this hand-aid off
before I change my mind?
Anointing oil will numb the pain. You'll barely feel a thing.
Barely?
[ZEE] You have gorgeous skin. It's flawless, like Aphrodite.
Especially now that the scar has healed from your bolt.
Impressive. You heal faster than most.
Not even a blemish.
Must be good genes.
You'll have to forgive me. I overreacted that day.
Couldn't have you interfering with Clay's game.
Right. Fueling up to face Big Brother?
Suddenly makes me grateful I'm an only child.
And there he is now.
Are we really gonna let this happen?
Let her cut our girl?
The fate of the colony depends on it.
I saw it too, Dyson.
The moment of truth.
[DYSON clears throat]
What? I love this shit.
[LAUREN] Bo, stop.
Iris is more powerful than both of the Ancients combined.
Mark is alone with her?
Mark! Mark, get out here!
Dyson, I already looked for him.
They're gone. Both of them.
Come on. What is the big deal?
The most powerful of you is with the least powerful of us.
We need to find them. Now.
You can't leave. I'm not finished.
Well there's a first time for everything.
Fine.
Plan B.
Imagine we lived here all the time.
Yeah. No boxing gym smell.
No murder board.
No Dyson lecturing me about responsibilities.
No Zee and Hera telling me what to do.
Telling me what to eat.
What do you wanna do now?
I mean, a nice house like this has gotta have some snacks, right?
[IRIS] Hey. If you find chips, I call dibs.

Didn't she live a happy life?
This is where Cee Cee grew up.

and she had to get stitches. See? Right here.
This is your vessel's house?
Why did you bring me here?
Sometimes, I still talk to her
and she thinks you're really cute.
She's still alive inside of you?
But don't tell Zee and Hera.
I was supposed to kill mine.
Please, let's just-- let's go home.
Why? This could be my home.
This could be my new family.
Look, you took over her body, all right.
But that doesn't make you her. This isn't your family.
All right, we need to go now.
No. When they meet me, they'll love me
just as much as they loved Cee Cee.

It was you who killed all those people.
They had to go to sleep, Mark.
There's no use. I can't do anything.
Mark, it's okay. Someday they're all gonna wake up
a-and they'll be better.
No they won't, Iris.
Iris, you--you killed them.
Hera said that--
Hera is evil! All right. How do you not get that by now?!
They used you!
No. No. Stop! No, no! No, this is what--
this is what I'm supposed to do, Mark!
They said--they said it's all gonna end.
[IRIS] They're gonna wake up. This is what that means, Mark.
Everything that ends is gonna start again.
Iris, just calm down, all right. Let me think.
I didn't mean to hurt them.
You didn't know what you were doing. They used you.
Not anymore.
I won't let them.

Oh, you're one to talk.
Who let the cat out of the bag in the first place?
Can you do anything without me?
I don't think that that--

Once the super friends bring Mark and Iris back,
we'll get this show on the road.
Go.

So... they've left you here to keep an eye on us.
Yeah. Lucky me.
Report this back to your friends:
Bo's emancipation is now or never.
You aren't the least bit worried
your daughter's missing?
[ZEE] Please. They're fine. They're kids.
Meanwhile, Hades is about to wipe us all out.
We need Bo to complete the ceremony.
Well, good luck with that.
[ZEE] What do you mean?
No, I think Bo should separate from her father.
But I think Bo should make different
relationship choices in general.
Sounds like she's made bad choices about a lot of things.
Care to share?
No.
You know, I'm actually kind of relieved.
No more waiting for the other shoe to drop.
[chuckles]
I'm not really a relationship kind of person.
Y'know, it's not in me. Kinda like a free bird.
I've never seen a Valkyrie cry.
It's 'cause it's against type.
No emotions on the battlefield.
Yes, ma'am. No ma'am.
Doubt. Kill. Repeat.
You'd think by my last life I'd have this figured out.
Word of advice.
Sometimes it can take centuries to figure it out.
When did people stop hurting you?
They didn't.

[ZEE] You don't know what you're doing!
