Lost Girl (2010–2016): Season 3, Episode 9 - The Ceremony - full transcript

Reality and fantasy converge as Bo confronts her ultimate challenge - unaware that it may not be just her life she is risking. Meanwhile, her friends consider the unthinkable, and Trick dreads the meaning of something he sees.

Babe?
Are you okay?

I just couldn't sleep.

Another bad dream?

Look, I know that I haven't
exactly been myself lately.

- It's okay.
- And you have been so patient.

I'm a husband. That's my job.

I just wanted to be
sure before I told you.

Okay, now you're starting
to freak me out a little.

For the last few days...

- I feel like I've been going crazy.
- What's wrong?

The things that I have been...
thinking and seeing...



I'm pregnant.

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 belong
to a world hidden from humans.

I won't hide anymore.

I will live the life I choose.

3x09 - Ceremony

Earlier...

Hi! I'm Bo.

Mild weather we're having?

Hey...
How you feeling?



Like Wile. E. Coyote...

- You?
- Yeah, he's fast...

but Stella says I need him.

- Well, his sweat.
- Right, right...

At least we're not risking a
heart attack for something gross.

He secretes pheromones I need
to gain entrance into the Temple.

He's an Oo'Glug.
Didn't Trick tell you?

Me and Trick only
talk sweat on Tuesdays.

We gangsta like that.

Anyway, not that I
don't enjoy this rest...

...but doesn't the
most important ceremony

- of your life start in like an hour?
- Yeah, you're right.

Break's over.

No, I...!
No, I take it back!

We have plenty of time!

Where's the ACME company
when you need 'em?! Wait!

Where'd he go?

Okay...
enough with the chasing. Phone me...

Okay...

Ha! Looks like our boy is
about to run out of runway.

This leads straight to a dead end
street in the warehouse district.

- Our luck might be changing.
- I'd just like to point out that...

...no escape for him
means no escape for us.

Yeah... can I have that back?

- No.
- I just want to check my messages.

Relax.
There could be any number of reasons

why Lauren hasn't returned a single
one of your twenty-seven texts.

Like, I blew her off to play Spaghetti
Western in Brazenwood with Tamsin?

Give her some more cred, huh?
And that was kind of insensitive.

You and Tamsin sitting
in Lauren's apartment,

- sharing a glass of Chardonnay.
- It was Champagne.

Oh, dude...
much worse.

- And a kiss.
- A what?!

- Hey!!!
- Come on, short stack!

You get back here, young lady,
and tell me about this kiss!

This kind of friendship
has rules, you know!

Hi.

- Hello.
- Hale, uh, wanted me to bring these by.

- You could've sent a messenger.
- I was heading this way.

Just been working on an antidote
for Bo's... situation.

I'm not sensing the thrill of victory.

Yeah well, this upcoming Dawning
ceremony has me worried, Dyson.

- Yeah, me too.
- I just wish that I could

find some way to slow down
or even arrest, Bo's decline...

Do you know that I have
a hard time believing

that I ever found someone like Bo?

That she even exists.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's gonna be fine.
I got a good feeling about it.

Well... I have a hard time
measuring "good feelings"...

scientifically speaking.

Yeah, sometimes it's not
about what you can prove...

it's about what you believe.

Lauren...

I'm really glad that you and
Bo are in such a good place.

Time to get our Oo'Glug on.

Please let me live to regret this.

- Uh... whoa...
- Sweat boy knows how to get down...

Lacey...

What the hell is this?

They've been waiting for you, Bo.

Welcome to the first
phase of your Dawning.

These fine human specimens are for you.

- To do what with?
- To feast on, of course.

To satiate yourself before
entering The Dawning.

That is Victoria's Secret!

Are you telling me this whole
quest for the Oo'Glog sweat...

His name is Keith, he's
one of my regular players.

It was all a setup just to get me here.

Re-volting!

Is that brand name liquor?

You're Bo...
the agent from Rio.

I didn't think you were gonna be so...

...stunning.

We're going to have so much fun.

Oh, bitch...
you are evil.

Why? Because I seem to be the only
one not denying you're a Succubus?

I know you're tempted.

Take her.
Take them all.

Fully fed is the safest
way to enter the Temple.

No...

Then take him. The Morrigan signed
him to an exclusive contract.

I'm leaving.

- He'll be dead in six months anyway...
- Not by my hand.

Look how tired you
are from chasing Keith.

Multiply that ten times over
and you might be able to imagine

the grueling trials
The Dawning will throw at you.

Alright, I think we're just
about done here... Stell.

Your empathy for the human
species is commendable.

But it's not the ancient way of the Fae.

Maybe not.

But it's my way.
You keep saying I don't know who I am?

Well, I know this...
I will not murder for pleasure.

Without a full feed, she
will fail The Dawning.

She will devolve.
She will die.

She will surprise the shit out of you.

And you know, you'd think I'd
get tired of watching, but...

I never do.
And I never will.

Stell.

I can't believe her.
I mean...

Who the hell does she think she is??

Careful baby.
Mama likes her wine.

Just when I think I am on
board with all things Fae...

Go and kiss the girl that
tried to put you in jail.

They turn around and pull
sneaky shit like this!

And I was gonna tell you about that.

It's fine. Bigger fish to fry.

We'll talk Valkyrie-lips when
you return. 'Cause you will.

Stella is being so vague
about my time in the Temple.

And who knows what will
happen if I come out!

- What are you thinking?
- I'm thinking:

what happens to cats
when their owners die?

Who's gonna pay the hydro bill...
What even is hydro?

- Kenzi...
- No.

No! No, dude...
you have been training non-stop.

- Dude... you've got this.
- If anything happens to me...

you gotta know that
you are taken care of.

- Don't worry.
- No, no...

This is not my worried face.
This is my game face.

I know that you're
gonna get through this.

And I'm gonna be on the
other side with mojitos.

Because horns or not,
we gettin' drunk when this is done.

What if I'm drooling and have back hair?

We will... get you waxed!

You'll always be my girl, Bo.

Even if you do come
outta there with a dong.

Ow!

- No dong.
- No dong.

There's never been a human
present at a Dawning before.

Chill, Stell.
I promise not to tweet.

It's simply not appropriate.

Bo is my BFF...
which stands for Best Fae Forever.

So this is one chick whose pretty
Pradas are nailed to the ground.

- Your scars are so deep.
- What?

Hey, Lo...
Look, I am not trying to stalk you...

I just, I'm wondering if, uh...

- I was afraid you wouldn't come.
- I wouldn't miss this for the world, Bo.

So those twenty-seven texts
that you didn't answer...

I've been working like a demon
trying to find a serum,

or an antibody,
just something that might...

Hey...

- It's okay, babe.
- It's not.

Friends!
Can I have your attention please?

A toast, to my granddaughter.
I'm so very proud of you.

We all are.

You've been through so
much the last few years,

but you've always stayed true
to yourself. To your heart.

May this Dawning be
your greatest triumph.

Now come.
It's time.

Little Bolivian Marching
powder for the road, Scarface?

The essence of white oleander
represents your purity.

Oh, I'm afraid that ship has sailed.

Of intent and deed.
Of commitment to the Dawning.

I couldn't do it, Trick.
The full feed...

I will never kill innocents again.
I would rather die.

- What are you talking about??
- Stella's model buffet.

- Wait ... didn't you know about that?
- No. I did not.

I don't know if I've ever thanked you.

Properly.

- It's not necessary.
- No, but it is.

I know that I haven't always
been the perfect granddaughter.

And you have always been there for me.

Believing in me.
Loving me.

You have always exceeded
everyone's expectations. And this?

This is not goodbye.

Now...

As a symbol of your true self,
while you are in the temple.

By embracing the tradition,
you acknowledge your heritage.

You are the only
"heritage" that I have left.

Nothing is going to
take that away from me.

"...and with full knowing
the initiate enters willingly

into the sacred ceremony."

- Do you accept the invitation?
- I accept.

The time has come for
you to choose an aide

to take with you into The Dawning.

But you may not choose a weapon
until you choose a side.

- You already know my answer.
- Then you know the consequences.

Be it witnessed, the initiate assents
to enter The Dawning unarmed.

I offer myself as Hand.

Like hell you do.

Do you even know what that means?

I know when you're up to no good.

An initiate has the
right to select a "Hand",

or... a companion for the journey.

It's not like we're
going camping, Dyson.

- Does he understand...
- ...the offer has been made.

- Do you accept?
- No way.

- Or ... maybe?
- Kenzi!

Would you please tell her
this is the right thing to do?

It is.

Any advantage.
Dyson will keep you safe.

- For luck.
- Believe me, I feel lucky.

I'll see you soon.

Let's do it.

♪ Where pretty girls are,
well, you know that I'm around ♪

♪ I kiss 'em and I love 'em ♪

♪ 'Cause to me they're all the same ♪

♪ I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em,
they don't even... ♪

Well, I hope you didn't forget anything.

"Temple", huh?
I expected more marble.

What, the Dawning couldn't
have sprung for a different bar?

Well, at least the taps
are still working...

Beer?

What the hell did you
just do back there?

The Dawning only happens
once in a Fae's life, Bo...

And no matter how this thing ends,
yours is going to be different.

So...

Might as well share a drink with
a friend while you still can, huh?

Dyson, why are you here?

Been wondering that myself!

No offence, Pal, but friend or foe?

Why don't you just
call me the Caretaker.

I been here so long, I can't
rightly remember my given name.

My mother wouldn't approve but ...

I can't rightly remember
my mother's name either.

Unaligned Succubus...

- Pretty sure that's my name...
- Just when you think you've seen it all.

And believe me ... I have.
Anyway, uh...

Welcome to the Dawning, etc, etc...

See you brought yourself a hero, too.

Tip my hat to you if I were wearing one.

You mind including me in this little
convo? It's kind of my big night.

Yeah, please, get to the point.

This thing kinda snuck up on Bo
and we'd like to get it done.

It's pretty simple.

Now that you're in the
Temple, ya need to get out.

Care to tell me how so
maybe we can call it a day?

You don't disappoint, little lady.

You've got a real spirit. Very funny.

Regardless you still have to find ...
the Key.

The Key you seek unlocks the portal.

Accept the Key, in the form it
is presented and you're free.

Reject it, and well...
imagine slobbering all over the place.

Unable to remember the people you love.

UnderFae. Got it.

Until you find the key is in hand ...
you won't go anywhere.

Anywho!
That's my time. You've been great.

Well, that was quite the exit.

So, what now?

There's a half a platter of nachos left?

- Not hungry.
- You wanna talk?

Okay...

Back when I got that
rash from the Kitsune

and she Kenzi-napped me
and yadda yadda yadda...

She told me that I could be Fae.

- Did she now?
- Which... isn't really true.

- Is it?
- What did Stella say to you?

- You looked upset.
- She told me what happens to humans

who are abandoned by
the Fae who claimed them.

- You're not Bo's pet.
- I'm not Fae either.

Bo's very strong.

I have every hope and faith
that she will emerge safely.

And if she doesn't?

Hale or Dyson could use someone
to do chores around their house.

- Don't play me, homie.
- I suppose...

if Bo weren't around anymore...
I could claim you.

- Get out.
- Even though I have no right to,

I've come to think of you as
family, Kenzi. I hope you don't mind.

Well, it's a little
presumptuous but ... if you must.

And for however long you want it,
you have a place in my world.

Our world.

Thank you.

Okay, so now what? We...
We sit and wait?

Nope.

We prepare.

- Wait... where are we going?
- To get your key.

Okay... pretty sure my front door
never lead to the Dal.

Although some nights I wish it did.

Does this seem weird to you?

My place, I mean.
Everything's off.

Well. To be more honest than
a wolf probably should ...

can't really remember much
else besides your bedroom.

Son of a...!

- So Karma does exist, huh?
- Funny.

- This way.
- Wait... Dude!

Why are you pulling
me towards the danger?

Guardian has the key.
We need to get it.

You're awfully chipper ...
me being so close to death and all.

I'm not going to let
anything happen to you.

Trust me.

- Stay back!
- No, this is my fight...

Hey, Ugly? Use your words.

I'm okay...

I appreciate the help
but stop cop-blocking me!

I guess a thousand years of
chivalry is hard to shake.

Did it ever occur to you that
I don't need taking care of?

I know.

- I just wanted to be here.
- Why?

Because I love you.

- Was that so hard to say?
- You're with Lauren now.

I can't say I like it, but I respect it.

God, I'm not gonna be
much help if I'm crippled!

You're not going to be
much help to me either

if you're pining away for me,
you moron! Wait...

Is this some sort of suicide mission?

Some kind of male honour bullshit?

- I'm here because I want to be.
- Why?

Because you would have
done the same for me.

'Cause in the last 3 years,

I have learned more from you

than I've learned in
the first fifteen-hundred

from every other person I ever met.
Even if I can't have you...

Even if I can't be with
the woman that I love

with every ounce of my being...

Look, I'm just a wolf, standing in
front of a succubus, asking her...

- A-hole!!!
- Ugh... I deserve that...

You are the most
frustrating, stubborn ass-face

- that I have ever met!!!
- I don't like me much either, trust me...

Stop... Stop being so charming...

This isn't the time!
Okay, I will kill you!

- So, what happens now?
- Nothing.

But ask me again in a hundred years.
When things are different...

Bo...

Where's Bo?

Her subconscious is such
an extraordinary playground.

I can't wait to watch
the next part unfold.

No, this should be over!
She grabbed the key, I saw it!

She grabbed a key. Big difference.

I have to find her.
I have to go after her.

"I have to go. I have to find her".

Don't you get it?

We're moving on.
Or at least, Bo is.

Where is she?!

Good mornin', partner.

Bo?
You're looking kind of pale.

Did you and "Jason" break up?

Oh, God, can we not today?
I am so tired.

- Bad dream again?
- Yeah.

And no, you weren't in it.

- The monster?
- Yeah...

It's chasing me, or I'm chasing it.
But anyway...

You know, there was a time, I would be
in your dreams to save you.

I never needed saving.

You know, you don't have to
read into everything I do or say.

You don't want me anymore.
That's fine.

I'm just trying to help.

Can't you just be happy for me?

I am.

That C.I. that you groomed
to testify against the Family?

- She's getting cold feet.
- What??

Wrong file.

We are so close on this.
She is our only key.

Key...

I mean, lead.
On the case.

Without her, we have no
way to take down The Family.

Just so you know...

- I was in it for the long haul.
- It wasn't my fault.

But you still gave your love away.

I know you want to do the right thing.

I want out of this life.
My old life.

If you talk to the jury about
what you saw, just like you talked

to me, you will help all those
victims The Family preyed on.

You said that I would be safe!

I don't feel a whole
lot of safe anymore!

Mackenzie, you are safe.

I promised that I wouldn't
let anyone hurt you.

- That I would protect you.
- You're leaving me.

I'm not leaving you. This department...

- You made me believe you.
- Because you can.

My boss will take care of
you, Mackenzie. I swear.

So, how's it going so far, hero?

- Is it everything you expected?
- This is what I was meant to do.

That's fascinating. You
were meant to do this?

- Or did you have to?
- Are you trying to goad me?

We both know how this is
going to end ... for you.

In the Temple, time is immaterial.

Aren't you at all curious about
what life you could create here?

Even if it's an illusion.

Chief! Where is she?

You got her to cooperate with us.
Then we had to let her go.

There has to be something
else we can do, I promised!

You'll find another.
They're a dime a dozen.

When are you gonna learn
to play by the rules?

By what rules?
Whose rules?!

She's not one of us!
She never will be.

We've got a job to do ...
if it comes down

to spending money protecting
a street rat, or one of us...

Then I'm not sure
I want to be "one of us".

Hiya, neighbour!
Great day for a wander.

Hey hon.
How was work?

Don't ask.
Been driving around all afternoon,

looking for MacKenzie,
my C.I. You?

Uh, delivered twins, emergency
transfusion for the mom...

- Picked up Indian for dinner.
- Ugh... my hero.

I see Bitchy Crocker's been at it again.

Yeah, and don't eat those.
They've got cinnamon in them,

which will react to
your anti-psychotics.

Nerd alert.

Really? Well,
I thought Tamsin was being

awfully neighbourly to bring them by.

It's funny how she always seems
to stop by when I'm at work.

- Are you jealous?
- Should I be?

No...
You taking your meds?

Yeah...

But I think I'm gonna stop.

Bo...
I'm a doctor.

And as you so often
say, an amazing doctor.

Also, sexy.

But I wouldn't have prescribed
them if you didn't need them.

They do weird shit to my brain.

Well, your brain did some really
weird shit before. Do you remember?

Actually...
I don't.

It's my job to protect you.
You trust me, right?

Yeah.

Well, then you have
nothing to worry about.

We have the perfect life.

I don't ever want it to end.

Whoa, whoa, hey...
You okay?

I just got a little dizzy...
I just need some water.

Sleep, sweet girl.
You have so much ahead of you.

I've waited so long
to have you in my arms.

Dad?

If Isabeau needs anything...
doesn't matter when,

doesn't matter what...
you let me know.

He doesn't get to keep you.

Aife...

I'm pregnant...

- What?
- Yeah...

- This is amazing!
- I know. I can't believe it!

Are you sure this is what you want?

What you really want, Bo...

Okay, just breathe! Just...

No, I'm...

- ...not a doctor, I...
- What...?

- I can't help you, I...
- What are you talking about?

We're too late, you're devolving!
You're becoming UnderFae!

You said this wouldn't hurt her!!!

- No, no!
- No, I need those!

No, you don't!!!

You don't need any of this!
None of this is real!

Ah...

That's not...
our baby in your belly!

That's what you'll become if you
don't get out of here right now!

- Oh, Dyson...
- Bo, Bo, remember...

I'm just a wolf,
standing in front of a...

- ...in front of a Succubus.
- That's right.

Come on...
we gotta find your key.

Wait, the Caretaker said that...
when the key was in hand...

- In my Hand.
- Only one may leave.

No...

- Say it.
- No...

Bo...

- I am the Key.
- No! No!

If you don't, we'll both die in here.

- Shut up!
- Come here!

- It's the only way.
- There's never only one way.

Do it. Now.
Before everyone loses you forever.

Bo...
none of this is real.

Trust me.

I can't...

Then I'm just gonna have to rip
that baby out of your belly myself.

No, it's not real, right?

It's not real...
It's not real...

That's my girl.

No, this isn't happening...

Didn't think you had it in you.

- Bring him back.
- I can't.

But none of this is real.

Except the part where he
gave up his corporeal life.

When he offered himself as your "Hand".

Two people may enter the Temple,
but only one can leave The Dawning.

I should know.

I came here myself with someone
eons ago, to help her through.

To regret it now would only
be a judgment on myself.

I also knew what I was doing.

He knew?

And he's succeeded.

Oh, Dyson...

He is stuck here forever.
Know how that feels.

Ah... the key.

There you go, Succubus...

You're free to leave.

You try to take him with you...

...and the Temple will
claim you as its own.

Forever. Both of you.

Not that I wouldn't mind the company.

"You won't get out...
until you find they Key in Hand..."

My Hand.

Go on.
You did good. Go on!

- Not without him.
- You know that's against the rules.

See that's the thing...

I've never been big on rules.
That is who I am.

That... is my true self.

There's always another way.

No!!!

This place can be vengeful.
You don't know what will happen...!

Trust me.
He's worth it.

- Trick!
- Bo!

Oh God, I need help, I need help!

- What happened??
- D-man!

He sacrificed himself for your victory.

- You knew... didn't you?
- It was his choice.

Oh, no, Trick, no...
No, not like this...

- Move, move...
- Not like this...

No...

No, this isn't happening...

This isn't happening,
this isn't happening...

Maybe it's not real...

I will reign... as he did.

For I am his daughter.

Together, we will bridle the masses,

and ride unto victory.

Even death... will fear us.

Only I will choose who lives.

- Hey, you...
- Hey...

Hey.

Lauren'll take good
care of Dyson, right?

- She is a doctor.
- Right...

So...
that was plan B?

Don't worry...
as if I'd let Trick put you down.

I have seen Old Yeller.
I know what's up.

And if I'd come out different?

You didn't.

And I'm just...
I'm just so glad you're back.

I don't know how I expected to feel.

I didn't expect to feel so... gooey.

But I've never been
Succubus-kissed before.

Now I know what the big dealio is.

Well, I had to do it, to save him.

- I know.
- And now...

- Now, I know how to control it.
- You, my dear, have evolved.

- I am so proud of you.
- Thank you.

It's like I understand
something I didn't get before.

- I feel...
- Like, high?

Yeah. Kinda.

I think I need to take a walk.
Alone, if that's okay.

But you still haven't
told me about the kiss.

Mmmm...

- I just need some time to think.
- Of course.

No probs...

That's an amazing girl you've got there.

I've never seen
a Succubus do what she did.

Thank you.
For everything, Stella.

It's been... wonderful.

But there are others
like Bo who need me now.

Unless...
you feel ready for a vacation?

I'm heading to Scotland for a few months

and I could use a, um...
"Companion".

Bo still needs me.

I'm the only family she's got left.

I had to do it, you know...
offer the human feast ...

to give Bo the best chance I could.

Did you have to be
needlessly cruel to Kenzi?

Everything I said
to that mortal was true.

If you really cared about her,
you would tell her yourself.

I understand if you feel
the need to... punish me.

I just wonder...

How long you're going
to punish yourself.

Blood King.

Not him...
