Lost Girl (2010–2016): Season 2, Episode 16 - School's Out - full transcript
Bo, Dyson, and Kenzi go undercover at a local high school to crack the curious case of teenagers who experience drastic increases in intelligence, then mysteriously meltdown.
Kenzi: Boooo!
You slept in,
how me of you--
Kenzi, you're here.
Interesting
non-sequiter--
Uh, yeah, I thought that you
were sleeping over at Nate's.
Well, I have been dismissed
while he surprises me
with breakfast,
but I peeked in
and it's totally
pancakes
of the chocolate
chip variety.
Oh, yum.
Mmhmm, plus a morning
without my favorite succubus
would be like waking
up to a virgin mimosa.
Yeah, same here--
Somebody was tossing
and turning all night long?
You get any
REM, sweets?
I just got a lot
on my mind.
(gasping)
I see what's
happening here.
You do?
Yeah.
You are losing sleep
over that Dark Fae-dar.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess.
Look, you being you, you
have certain needs
and I don't expect you to
holster your honeypot.
Oh, gee, thanks.
But, Ryan, totally
screwed with Nate.
Yeah. I get it.
And that was wrong.
But you 86'd him, so
let's just forget about it.
Yeah, yeah. Why
don't you just go
and enjoy your flapjacks,
shortstack, huh?
You wanna join us?
And third wheel all over
your sexy breakfast?
MMM!
No way.
That is why
I love you!
Uh! I'm stealing
the maple syrup!
Okay, love you too!
Oh--
(laughing)
God, this is crazy.
That was so close.
No, that was hilarious!
No, she is
my best friend!
I can't keep hiding
you in the bathtub.
What's next? My
teeny tiny closet?
Oh, that's a good point.
We haven't done it
in your closet yet.
This is all fun
and games to you.
Isn't it?
I don't think
I can keep it up.
Don't worry about
it. That's my job.
Do you have anything serious
to contribute? Seriously.
Yeah, just one second--
Bubbly?
Before we continue with
today's reading, I would like
to ask Beverly Garner
to come up here please.
This young lady, whose
previous papers have been
anything BUT impressive,
has risen to the occasion.
To write a dissertation
on Romeo and Juliet
that I hope will be
published one day
in our most illustrious
academic journals.
I'd like her to read
it now. Beverly?
(clapping)
I woke the other night thinking
of all the other students
that have come before
us and were asked
to write a paper on
Romeo and Juliet.
How we all equate the issues in
this text with our own lives.
Our own star-crossed love, how
our parents just don't get us.
But have any of you actually
ever considered that
this might be a clandestine
book based on foreign policy?
I give you the Cold War
in iambic pentameter.
Two houses
alike in dignity.
Russia, America,
their children,
Kennedy, Kruschev,
forced to clean up the mess
left by their ignorant,
selfish parents.
Mercutio dies, American nukes
are discovered in Turkish soil.
Romeo slays Tybalt
down, The Bay of Pigs.
And I mean, this
is the ending, the ending!
I mean, if the
nukes had of flown,
this would have been
our very own ending.
I mean, Romeo would
have been just dead,
and Juliet would
have been dead--
Oh!
Student: Oh, my God...
Life is hard when you
don't know who you are.
It's harder when you
don't know what you are.
My love carries a
death sentence.
I was lost for years,
searching while hiding.
Only to find that I belonged
to a world hidden from humans.
I won't hide anymore.
I will live the
life I choose.
Look, my daughter's
in the hospital
and the doctors don't know
what's wrong with her.
Someone gave her
something. Drugs.
There's a drug dealer
at that school
and he needs
to be dealt with.
Let me get you
some water.
The doctor said something
about her brain activity.
She can't stop mumbling nonsense
and even the neurologist said
he'd never seen anything
like it in all his years.
Anywhere.
What kind of
drug can do that?
What's the name
of your daughter?
Beverly.
And the school?
East Lake.
Mr. Garner, go spend some
time with your daughter.
I've got enough
here to get started.
Thank you.

knock-knock-knock
Hey--
Hey, you're back.
Oh, hey, Nadia--
Hey--
Come on in.
Well, you were right about
that car, it's a gas-guzzler.
Yeah, yeah, she certainly
sucks it back, huh?
Thanks.
How was the trip?
Oh, it was beautiful--
The food, the air...
our room--
The lake
was magnificent.
What we saw of it.
That's super.
Yeah, it rained
one day, so--
I loved that day.
So, how about you?
How are you doing?
Good. I've been busy.
You know, things
have been busy.
Well, busy's good.
Yeah, it's good
to be busy.
Mmhmm--
(knocking)
Hey.
Hey.
Am I interrupting
anything?
No--
Why, what's up?
Uh, a girl's father
came to see me.
I thought maybe
you could help.
Oh, yeah. Sure, yeah--
Excuse us--
Welcome back.
It's a human.
She had a complete
neurological shutdown.
It's like her brain just
stopped working.
She's sixteen.
She's a kid.
Fae related?
Could be.
She's still in ICU,
but the doctors think
it's some kind of drug.
Just nothing they've
ever seen before.
The Ash wants us
to check it out.
Whatever you
need me to do.
Go undercover?
In high school.
Oh, no, except that.
Oh, no, no, see
I didn't do great
with sixteen year old
girls when I was sixteen.
You think I'm
gonna do any better?
Oh! Sad wolfy eyes?
Huh? Chris Martin hair?
Other girls
could be in trouble.
Okay, fine, I'm in.
Good, how are
you at English Lit?
Needs improvement.
Well, that's what you're
going to be teaching.
No, I cannot do
Jane Austin again.
That's what I said
when I left England.
What?
Is there anything
that I could do to help?
Yes, actually--
Can you check this girl's
medical files for me?
Consider it done.
I'll just, I'll drop Nadia
off and then I'm all yours.
I'll get back to you as
soon as I know anything.
Thanks.
Well, if it is drugs
these kids
are not gonna narc
to a teacher.
That's true.
So, who do we know
who speaks teenager?
Hola, biatches!
What?
What do I have maple
syrup on my mouth?
(bell ringing)
Okay, Kenzi, you sure
you know what to do?
Unleash all this coolio onto
the student population?
Oh, honey.
They're gonna be printing my
face onto t-shirts by lunch.
♪
Oh, God...
♪
Hello.
Uh....
My--
My name--
is... Miss um--
Well, you know what?
Why don't you
just call me Bo.
I'm filling in
for Miss Phelps.
So, uh, what have
we been learning?
Yes?
Shakespeare.
Romeo and Juliet.
Excellent.
That's my, um...
my favorite.
Um...so, we have
two houses.
They are
sworn enemies.
We've got Romeo...
and...Juliet.
Yes?
Who's Ryan?
(students laughing)
Bo: Oh, God--
Um--
You know what?
Change of plans.
Let's park the romance
for a while,
let's talk about
something more today.
This is gonna
be a good class...
Okay! Um...the fascinating
world of werewolves.
Fact or fiction.
Yeah--
(laughing)
She's acting all crazy
and it's not even prom.
How long's this
been going on?
Maybe, since
like midterms?
I don't know,
before that--
Look, I don't know, I'm just
really, really confused.
You're confused...
It's okay--
Look, I've heard about
some strange behavior
at this school.
Know anything about it?
See, that's what I'm
talking about, dude.
One second Jenny's all
flirty flirty flirting with me
and then the next, she's
acting like I ran over Drake.
Who's Drake?
The rapper?
Oh.
It's not quite the erratic
behavior I was asking about.
Okay, okay, then you
explain it. PMS?
Yeah, probably.
What about drugs?
Any new drugs
on the scene?
Love.
Love is a drug.
You really gotta
get over this girl.
But I love her.
No, you don't.
How do you know?
Hundreds of years
of experience.
Look, kid--
you're seventeen.
You don't even know
how young you are yet.
Just go out, play
the field, have fun.
Make love, be crazy.
Are you sure?
Yes.
It'll do you good.
You're right--
Right--
Thanks, man.
Hola, chiquitas!
Could you please direct me
to your source
of desperately needed
caffeination?
Is that ensemble
trying to share
some child hood trauma
with the world?
Excuse me?
You heard me,
bitch.
Oh, wow. We're
already at bitch.
Uh, well, it's very
nice to meet you,
Heather, Heather,
and Heather.
What?
Cult film.
Circa 1988.
Your fashion sense?
Meet 2011.
(laughing)
And why don't you take
those clown shoes back
to whatever hobo you
stole them off of
and stop trying to mix
outside your social circle.
You did not just
insult the boots.
GASP!
(laughing)
Oh...sorry.
Oh, honey, it's
about to get real.
(knuckles cracking)
You're new here so
I don't want to come down
too hard on your
teaching methods,
but you can't just
teach anything you like.
Stick with
Romeo and Juliet.
I was just trying
to stay away from
any discussion involving
hormonal teenagers.
Not to mention
death and drugs.
Especially with everything
that's been going on
at this school.
What exactly
are you implying?
The girl that collapsed
in my class? Beverly?
Word is she was on some
pretty heavy duty study drug.
You're here as a
substitute for a few days.
Stick with the
chosen curriculum
and let me handle the
student population.
(knocking on door)
Had to pull this miscreant
off one of my girls.
♪
Wait outside, I'll deal
with you in a minute.
We done here?
What happened?
The chic clique
didn't appreciate
my accessorization skills.
Especially when I tried
to pierce Heather number
one's nose with a pen.
You're supposed
to be fitting in.
Dyson: Hey--
Did you guys
get anything yet?
A lecture from the
vice principal
and twenty seven
invitations to the dance.
One delivered
by soliloquy.
Oh, nice--
You?
A fist bump.
Kenz, you?
Well, I was attacked by
rabid muffies, man-handled
by coach bitchy butch
and I got detention.
We are not getting
very far, are we.
Teen angst--
Our greatest foe...
You said it, sister.
Hi.
No sign of anything
at the school.
Nothing I could mark.
Well, if Snoopy here
can't sniff anyone out,
then there must not be any
Fae at the school, right?
No, I can't detect any Fae
who haven't hit puberty yet.
You're kidding?
Chemically, their lack
of hormonal change
makes detection impossible.
Fae puberty happens
anywhere between the
ages of 11 and 16.
Just like humans.
I did however get access to
Beverly's medical records
and prelusive blood
tests indicate
she was definitely infected
by something Fae.
Can you tell what kind?
It's nothing
I've seen before.
I'm running a search
in my database
to see if something
sticks, but--
I know.
We need to find out what kind
of Fae are at the school.
Yeah.
Well, it's just a couple
of Akvans,
nothing capable
of this.
I spoke to The Ash.
Akvan,
what's an Akvan?
Uh, well, in
layman's terms dumb Fae.
They mature
slower than most.
I think I dated
an Akvan once...
I thought it was only
because I was adopted
by humans that I went
to human school.
It's common practice
to place Fae children
into the school system,
so they can study human ways
and learn how to fit in.
It would have been nice to know
why I was such an outsider.
I know.
We are gonna have to
do this the hard way.
Torture the popular girls?
For information.
That too.
Question the
enfants, great--
I think I gotta stay away from
Los Mean Girls, I mean,
unless you guys want some
broken plastics on your hands.
Just try and fit in
somewhere, okay?
Actually, you're not
allowed to do that.
Why not?
Bishops don't
go that way.
'Cause of
their religion?
(laughing)
What's your
name anyway?
Earl.
That's a great name.
Very redneck Grandpa.
So, Earl, what do you
think of Beverly
going all Beautiful Mind
and collapsing in class?
What a total
waste case, huh?
Okay...
Knight's don't
move diagonally.
What's next?
No body checking?
I think it was stress.
Yeah, well, it must
be hard to keep up
with the Mocha Cappuccino
slut squad.
Yeah, straight A's
are barely enough
for a second rate
college.
I can't really picture
having the stress
of an athletic
scholarship too.
Sometimes pressure drives
people to do stupid things.
Earl, are you telling me
that the Ra-ra's are doping?
(phone ringing)
It's my Dad.
I have to run.
Play you again
tomorrow?
Yeah, sure.
Bye.
Good game.
Cool.
Human Jenga.
No! I'm not
going up there!
That isn't right!
It's wrong!
It's completely and utterly
and totally wrong!
Why? You need
a solid polygonal base
and a triangular face
to meet at a common point!
What is wrong
with you people?!
You're never going to culminate
into a single apex that way!
♪
Miss?
Anything I could do
for extra credit?
Lobster dinner.
Back rub?
Oh, I uh--
Lauren, I'm kidding.
Right--
Whatcha got there?
Whatever this Fae drug is
that's infecting these kids,
it contains traces
of embryonic tissue.
What? Like Fae eggs?
Maybe.
So, instead of looking
for a needle in a haystack,
we're looking for what?
A nest?
Thank you.
Uh, Bo--
About the other day when
Nadia and I came by,
she's not usually so
public with her affections.
No, it's okay.
Just I'm having
a hard time--
Hiding so much
from her.
Yeah, I bet.
I want to tell
her the truth,
but how do I explain
any of this to her?
Our lives are
complicated, Lauren.
Kenzi: Gold star
for Kenzi...
Hi, Lauren.
Um, one of the cheerleaders
started shrieking.
Yeah, they do that.
No, no, no, I mean she
totally freaked out.
About the integrity of
their lame-ass pyramid
not being structurally
sound or something--
It was all number,
factual, garble, garble--
Then she collapsed.
Just like Beverly.
I better get all
the student files.
I don't want to be playing catch
up if this thing spreads.
So, that's two
intellectual rants,
and both Beverly and
this girl were cheerleaders?
Yeah, and you remember
that crazy coach
from Dickerson's office?
Tick-tick-tick BOOM!
Time bomb. Right?
Also a little birdie told me
that they might be doping
in order to get an
athletic scholarship.
I think it's time for me
and Miss Curls are for girls
to have a little pow-wow.
Yes.
Hey, babe.
Where were you?
Oh, hey--
Um, well, I just had to
drop something off for Bo.
Why are you
working with her?
Uh, well, she's
kind of a co-worker.
Hmm--
Mmhmm--
Come on,
let's do something.
Let's go
somewhere fun.
(laughing)
Oh, yeah, like where?
I don't know, like
that other lab of yours.
Make love by the light
of the Bunsen burner.
Oh...
I would love to do that, but I
really do have to finish this.
Oh, come on,
you're no fun.
Mmmmhmm--
Come on...
Nadia, there is so
much that I haven't--
You know, I haven't figured
out about this case, and I--
You know, you haven't picked
up your camera in ages.
Why don't you take some

Sure, babe.

Excuse me?
Can I ask you a
couple of questions?
Kind of in the
middle of a set!
Beverly and the
other cheerleader.
Any idea what
happened to them?
And what's your
interest in my girls?
Something put them
both in the hospital.
I'm sure the situation's
being handled appropriately.
Yeah, see I'm just
not so sure that
you're handling them
appropriately.
The doctors are
speculating it was drugs.
You think I gave
them something?
I do now.
You're in way over
your head, honey.
Yeah, well that's just
where I like it.
Is that a threat?
Yeah, why not--
Ah!
Ugh!
Pretty little thing.
Bet you had all the
boys after you, huh?
I bet they were all
terrified of you.
Ugh!
Ugh!
Big mistake,
Teach--
Ugh--
A few of my cheerleaders
were trying out
for athletic scholarships.
I helped a little.
Steroids?
Small amounts.
Unnoticeable.
I bet they noticed.
Anything else?
Um...
Very low doses of diuretics,
to keep their weight down.
I thought I was helping.
They're just kids.
They look up to you.
You have to take that as
seriously as your workouts.
Whatever you're giving
them stops right now.
For sure.
Don't make me

Yeah...I know.

Hey!
Don't forget your
lunch there, buddy.
So, where you off
to in such a hurry?
I'm trying to intersect

looks natural.
Well, you should focus on
your studying, not girls.
She's different.
We play chess.
Yeah? Is she any good?
She's terrible.
(laughing)
I may love her though.
Girls like smart guys.
Go get 'em, tiger!
Ready to play?
Ugh-- Stoked.
Was that your dad?
Yeah.
He drive you to
school everyday?
Mmhmm--
Must be nice.
It is.
I never got to spend
much time with him before.
Before what?
A couple of months ago.
I made the school's
Reach For the Top Team,
I think he gets
a kick out of it.
We're in the
regional finals.
Hmm-- Quiz show geek
and a chess master.
You da bomb, Earl.
Vice Principal Dickerson
put the team together.
He picked me and two of
my buddies to be on it.
We've never lost.
You're proud.
I can dig that.
Well--
I put in a lot of
hard work lately.
Scored a few "A's", now
everyone seems happier and--
It, uh...really seems
to help with the ladies.
Ahhh!
What the Earl
are you doing?
I'm sorry. I thought--
What?
Why would you do that?
Okay--
It was one of those fairly quick
but wet and slobbery ones.
You know, like when you're
kissing a puppy with the flu.
Slobbery can be nice.
I'm sorry, Miss succubus, when
was the last time you had
to kiss the horny, gooey
Lord of the chess board?
Clearly his fame has gone
to his little head as well.
How's that?
Well, he's been doing really
great for a few months,
so Dickerson made him
and his buddies members
of this winning brain
trust. Or something--
Huh-- Interesting.
I'm still in post-traumatic
kiss syndrome--
What's interesting?
Well, Dickerson puts together
a team of recent geniuses?
Beverly freaks out
spouting Shakespeare
and Sarah blows a
gasket over math.
You're saying it's the evil
Vice Principal, aren't ya?
Nobody ever likes
the Vice Principal.
Okay, you go
check on his potency,
I'll be in the little girl's
room chewing on a bar of soap.
K?
Hey, teach--
What?
What are you
doing here?
Ahem-- It's nice
to see you too.
Hey!
Looking for a date
to the big dance.
Ha ha, very funny.
Actually, it's more the
after-party that interests me.
The whole dance,
corsage thing,
I think it's just
foreplay, right?
I wouldn't
know about that.
The after-party?
Oh, come on!
It's when you
lose your cherry
to your very special
first love.
You have to go.
I promise you I will be
better than your first time.
No fumbling.
I'm serious.
Am I hitting a nerve here?
Look-- Some people,
they're just not meant
to be with each other.
No, it's that some
people think too much.
Listen, there's a part of you
that needs to be explored.
You need to let it
out, just embrace it.
I like you, I just--
I don't like
that I like you.
I can work with that.
Yeah.
What's Ryan
Lambert doing here?
Wha--
No, he's--
I, I've handled it.
It's fine.
He's Dark Fae, Bo.
He has no business
being involved in this.
He doesn't.
It's personal.
Well, you are unaligned.
You can do what you want.
I wasn't asking for
your permission.
(bell ringing)
I thought Earl
really liked me.
But that
he was just shy.
And then I find out that he's
making out with other girls?
And this is strange
behavior for this Earl?
Yes! He just changed
out of nowhere.
What do you think
caused it?
Hello?
Obviously.
It was me.
(crying)
Look, it's not you.
It's him.
What if he was
my soul mate?
(crying)
Crying is not going
to help. Trust me.
Doesn't anybody have any real
problems at this school?
(crying)
Look--
You are a beautiful,
obviously sensitive
young woman.
You gotta find another
mate for your soul.
Okay?
You have a girlfriend?
No.
Want one?
Yeah, okay--
(crying)
I get it--
No, I didn't
mean it like that.
(crying)
I'm very proud of the
team I put together.
I understand
they're doing very well.
This school has never
had this kind of success.
The esteem we've
received for getting
to the regional
finals is priceless.
It must be nice
for you, too.
Meaning?
Well, the team's
transformation
has been rather remarkable,
wouldn't you say?
A testament to
diligence and hard work.
I'm just concerned
about the amount
of pressure being put
on these students.
Look-- I've invested a
lot of personal time
tutoring these boys, and their
families are appreciative.
I understand--
Do you have any idea what
these kids are up against?
The cost of a
college education.
Winning this competition
could mean scholarships.
I'm meeting with their
parents tomorrow
to discuss college
applications.
So, I'm sorry if I'm eager to
see my team's efforts rewarded.
Don't you have
a class waiting?
Hey!
Salutations.
What are you doing?
Euclidean geometry.
Excuse me?
Shh--
It's due tomorrow.
Uh--
(laughing)
Kenzi, you're undercover
as a student.
You don't actually
have to do the homework.
But, I'm good at it.
Did you know that you
can actually make a function
out of essentially anything?
Over a period of time.
Not only that, but
historically speaking,
Euclid's axioms seem so
intuitively obvious that
any theorem proved from
them was deemed true
in an absolute,
often metaphysical sense!
Doesn't that just
blow your mind?
Oh, that's totally
blowing my mind.
Yeah...
That's what
I'm afraid of.
The modern treatments
at the sixth postulate,
the rigidity of the triangle
which can be used
as an alternative
to superposition.
Oh, no,
don't tell me--
I think Kenzi's been infected by
the same thing as the others.
For over two thousand years,
they didn't even call it
Euclidean geometry,
just geometry.
'Cause there was
no other kind,
kind of like Italian
food in Italy--
What are we going
to do?
I mean, I can practically
hear her brain boiling!
Don't worry, I've
got some good news.
I've made some progress.
According to my tests,
whatever it was that
infected those two
cheerleaders follows a curve.
At first there's
increased brain function,
that's the stage
that Kenzi's in now.
But after a while, the
substance expands
to overwhelm
the human brain.
That's good news?
The more that we
know about this thing,
the closer we are
to stopping it.
How long did it take
before Beverly lost it?
Two days.
Two days?
Lauren: I know.
with the help
of sedation.
This isn't correct--
No, no!
Kenzi, no, no!
Uh!
You had that
saved, right?
It doesn't matter, it was
based on a false hypothesis.
You assume that the
infectious agent
could only bind to DNA using

She's right--
What?
No, no, she's right.
The Ash's files show
that the Fae students

are all Akvans.
But what if somebody gave them
something to make them smarter?
That would explain
the supercoiling

But how did the Akvans infect
the cheerleaders and Kenzi?
Any number of ways-- Most
likely somehow orally,
but I'll need the source
of the infection.
Okay, I'm on it.
Take care of Kenzi!
Okay, but Bo--
Bo! Whatever
this thing is,

Yeah.
Lauren says that she
can find an antidote

source of the infection.

Dickerson. He is
hiding something.
He put together an
academic team that went
to the regionals
out of nowhere.
Even if Dickerson is
involved, he's not Fae.
There's no way he could
have infected these kids
without someone's help.

Orally.

Kennedy, Kruschev,
forced to clean up the mess

Mercutio dies, American nukes

Romeo slays Tybalt
down, The Bay of Pigs.
And I mean, this

Don't make me
come back here.
I love you!
Yeah...I know.
♪
Hey!
Don't forget your
lunch there, buddy.
So, where you off
to in such a hurry?
I'm trying to intersect
the path of a girl,
so it actually
looks natural.
Well, you should focus on
your studying, not girls.
She's different.
We play chess.
Yeah? Is she any good?
She's terrible.
(laughing)
I may love her though.
Girls like smart guys.
Go get 'em, tiger!
Ready to play?
Ugh-- Stoked.
Was that your dad?
Yeah.
He drive you to
school everyday?
Mmhmm--
Must be nice.
It is.
I never got to spend
much time with him before.
Before what?
A couple of months ago.
I made the school's
Reach For the Top Team,
I think he gets
a kick out of it.
We're in the
regional finals.
Hmm-- Quiz show geek
and a chess master.
You da bomb, Earl.
Vice Principal Dickerson
put the team together.
He picked me and two of
my buddies to be on it.
We've never lost.
You're proud.
I can dig that.
Well--
I put in a lot of
hard work lately.
Scored a few "A's", now
everyone seems happier and--
It, uh...really seems
to help with the ladies.
Ahhh!
What the Earl
are you doing?
I'm sorry. I thought--
What?
Why would you do that?
Okay--
It was one of those fairly quick
but wet and slobbery ones.
You know, like when you're
kissing a puppy with the flu.
Slobbery can be nice.
I'm sorry, Miss succubus, when
was the last time you had
to kiss the horny, gooey
Lord of the chess board?
Clearly his fame has gone
to his little head as well.
How's that?
Well, he's been doing really
great for a few months,
so Dickerson made him
and his buddies members
of this winning brain
trust. Or something--
Huh-- Interesting.
I'm still in post-traumatic
kiss syndrome--
What's interesting?
Well, Dickerson puts together
a team of recent geniuses?
Beverly freaks out
spouting Shakespeare
and Sarah blows a
gasket over math.
You're saying it's the evil
Vice Principal, aren't ya?
Nobody ever likes
the Vice Principal.
Okay, you go
check on his potency,
I'll be in the little girl's
room chewing on a bar of soap.
K?
Hey, teach--
What?
What are you
doing here?
Ahem-- It's nice
to see you too.
Hey!
Looking for a date
to the big dance.
Ha ha, very funny.
Actually, it's more the
after-party that interests me.
The whole dance,
corsage thing,
I think it's just
foreplay, right?
I wouldn't
know about that.
The after-party?
Oh, come on!
It's when you
lose your cherry
to your very special
first love.
You have to go.
I promise you I will be
better than your first time.
No fumbling.
I'm serious.
Am I hitting a nerve here?
Look-- Some people,
they're just not meant
to be with each other.
No, it's that some
people think too much.
Listen, there's a part of you
that needs to be explored.
You need to let it
out, just embrace it.
I like you, I just--
I don't like
that I like you.
I can work with that.
Yeah.
What's Ryan
Lambert doing here?
Wha--
No, he's--
I, I've handled it.
It's fine.
He's Dark Fae, Bo.
He has no business
being involved in this.
He doesn't.
It's personal.
Well, you are unaligned.
You can do what you want.
I wasn't asking for
your permission.
(bell ringing)
I thought Earl
really liked me.
But that
he was just shy.
And then I find out that he's
making out with other girls?
And this is strange
behavior for this Earl?
Yes! He just changed
out of nowhere.
What do you think
caused it?
Hello?
Obviously.
It was me.
(crying)
Look, it's not you.
It's him.
What if he was
my soul mate?
(crying)
Crying is not going
to help. Trust me.
Doesn't anybody have any real
problems at this school?
(crying)
Look--
You are a beautiful,
obviously sensitive
young woman.
You gotta find another
mate for your soul.
Okay?
You have a girlfriend?
No.
Want one?
Yeah, okay--
(crying)
I get it--
No, I didn't
mean it like that.
(crying)
I'm very proud of the
team I put together.
I understand
they're doing very well.
This school has never
had this kind of success.
The esteem we've
received for getting
to the regional
finals is priceless.
It must be nice
for you, too.
Meaning?
Well, the team's
transformation
has been rather remarkable,
wouldn't you say?
A testament to
diligence and hard work.
I'm just concerned
about the amount
of pressure being put
on these students.
Look-- I've invested a
lot of personal time
tutoring these boys, and their
families are appreciative.
I understand--
Do you have any idea what
these kids are up against?
The cost of a
college education.
Winning this competition
could mean scholarships.
I'm meeting with their
parents tomorrow
to discuss college
applications.
So, I'm sorry if I'm eager to
see my team's efforts rewarded.
Don't you have
a class waiting?
Hey!
Salutations.
What are you doing?
Euclidean geometry.
Excuse me?
Shh--
It's due tomorrow.
Uh--
(laughing)
Kenzi, you're undercover
as a student.
You don't actually
have to do the homework.
But, I'm good at it.
Did you know that you
can actually make a function
out of essentially anything?
Over a period of time.
Not only that, but
historically speaking,
Euclid's axioms seem so
intuitively obvious that
any theorem proved from
them was deemed true
in an absolute,
often metaphysical sense!
Doesn't that just
blow your mind?
Oh, that's totally
blowing my mind.
Yeah...
That's what
I'm afraid of.
The modern treatments
at the sixth postulate,
the rigidity of the triangle
which can be used
as an alternative
to superposition.
Oh, no,
don't tell me--
I think Kenzi's been infected by
the same thing as the others.
For over two thousand years,
they didn't even call it
Euclidean geometry,
just geometry.
'Cause there was
no other kind,
kind of like Italian
food in Italy--
What are we going
to do?
I mean, I can practically
hear her brain boiling!
Don't worry, I've
got some good news.
I've made some progress.
According to my tests,
whatever it was that
infected those two
cheerleaders follows a curve.
At first there's
increased brain function,
that's the stage
that Kenzi's in now.
But after a while, the
substance expands
to overwhelm
the human brain.
That's good news?
The more that we
know about this thing,
the closer we are
to stopping it.
How long did it take
before Beverly lost it?
Two days.
Two days?
Lauren: I know.
with the help
of sedation.
This isn't correct--
No, no!
Kenzi, no, no!
Uh!
You had that
saved, right?
It doesn't matter, it was
based on a false hypothesis.
You assume that the
infectious agent
could only bind to DNA using
standard transcription factors.
She's right--
What?
No, no, she's right.
The Ash's files show
that the Fae students
in the school
are all Akvans.
But what if somebody gave them
something to make them smarter?
That would explain
the supercoiling
of the DNA, hellooo?
But how did the Akvans infect
the cheerleaders and Kenzi?
Any number of ways-- Most
likely somehow orally,
but I'll need the source
of the infection.
Okay, I'm on it.
Take care of Kenzi!
Okay, but Bo--
Bo! Whatever
this thing is,
we have to stop it
before it spreads
beyond the school,
because if we don't
it could quite
literally infect--
Everyone,
everywhere, I got it!
Bo--
I heard about Kenzi.
Yeah.
Lauren says that she
can find an antidote
if we can locate the
source of the infection.
What are you thinking?
Dickerson. He is
hiding something.
He put together an
academic team that went
to the regionals
out of nowhere.
Even if Dickerson is
involved, he's not Fae.
There's no way he could
have infected these kids
without someone's help.
How does Lauren
say it's spreading?
Orally.
Kenzi must have...
What?
Kissed someone?
Of the horny chess
player variety.
I know someone who
fits that description.

GASP!
Earl, right?
Please don't hurt me!
You kissed
Sarah and Beverly.
Yeah,

Kenzi.

How'd you know that?
Because they're
all sick, Earl.
Thanks to you.
Kenzi's sick? How?

improved dramatically
