Hail, Hale - okay, what the HELL?!

Once again, major curve balls! The revelation that Isaac's experimenting on the Fae wasn't much of a shocker (though it's been done to death in other shows), nor did Tamsin's revelation that it's happened before come as much of a surprise (the Nazis, maybe? Hitler was, I've read, obsessed with the occult...perhaps he knew about the Fae? Maybe there were Fae in Auschwitz?). The Fae keep themselves hidden for a reason.

But the Morrigan is apparently working with this douchebag! She has to be, else where the hell did she get that vial? She used these events to totally stitch Hale up. She's risking war - when the Light Fae find out she's been conspiring with a human who's been slaughtering Fae, they'll want her head on a platter, high-born or not!

And Tamsin seems to have made up her mind as to whose side she's on...namely Bo's. It seems she really wants to understand what Bo has with her friends. I loved the bathroom scene, too. Tamsin is a funny drunk, not a mean one. And it's now clear that she is tortured; she is really suffering. Living in her truck as well? Oh, dear.

(Where is my mind, as Mary might say? Lucky Rachel, getting to see Anna naked, albeit covered in suds! She had to have gotten an eyeful, surely, especially as Anna was not trying to cover up since she had to portray Bo ready to enter into combat!)

And Hale, bless him, has finally admitted that Kenzi is way more than just a friend to him! It's about gorram time, dude! Even Vex saw that one coming! And I loved him smacking the Morrigan's ass (naughty girl, I bet she liked that a bit)! Go, Hale! As the Ash, he would not be intimidated by her for an instant!

As for Gerry...the guy playing him is in fact Anna Silk's husband. How much fun did she have, I wonder, filming this? And apparently she found out she was pregnant at the end of filming this ep. That explains the extra booboola she's been showing! Go Anna!

Nearly forgot: oh, that dress. Ohhhh, that drrrrrrrrrrrrresssssss...!!! Her butt looked fantastic in that; I'm amazed Dyson didn't just grab her and do her there and then! From the look on her face when he made that quip 'To that dress under the right man', she wasn't exactly averse!

Dyson's fight was awesome! Do not mess with the D-Man when he gets his Wolf on!

Bo was a mixture of really clever and really stupid in this one:

Clever: testing the 'paramedics' with her knowledge of Womblies and what happens when they smell skunk ape. On-the-fly improv of the highest order.

Stupid: cock-blocking Kenzi like that. Okay, they guy she was tackling had a gun, and maybe she didn't want Kenzi to have to deal afterwards with the fact that she'd whaled on a fellow human - but she knocked Kenzi out, naturally took a few seconds to check on her...and in those seconds, the fake medics got away with Dyson!

Clever: answering Tamsin's phone and giving the Druid (who apparently hasn't actually met Tamsin) no clue whatsoever he was talking to Bo and not to Tamsin. At least now she has some warning.

Stupid: not telling Tamsin she'd found the necklace. That news would've pushed Tamsin to a higher level of urgency, and for Bo not to tell her was a really bad move.

I really hope Tamsin isn't dead. Leaving aside (if it's possible!) that she's totally bloody gorgeous, she's a terrific character. I think she and Dyson actually make a good team.

But the biggest shock came right at the end (as it should, of course) - where the hell did Taft find Aife?!

This whole show has really kicked things up a gear - and we haven't even found out yet who's after Bo or why he wants her so badly! And who were those guys who grabbed Trick? More to the point, where was he going?

Even though next week's the finale (sob!), now I can't wait for Those Who Wander!
