Before heading to the Dahl, Tamsin stopped by the clubhouse to change her clothes. There was no one there. She took a quick shower and changed, glancing around on her way out, hoping to find some liquor, beer, or something and was surprised that every bottle in the house was dry. She still really needed that drink. She headed out the door and quickly made her way to the Dahl.

As soon as she walked in she saw Dyson, Lauren, Trick, and Kenzi staring in her direction. Eyeing them, her eyes darted toward each of them.

"What did I miss?" Tamsin asks.

"Kenzi will tell you." Dyson says as he walks past Tamsin.

Tamsin stood there, confused at everyone's strange demeanor. Everyone had been in such a good mood the night before.

'Where's Bo?' She thought to herself as she looked around for her.

When she didn't see her anywhere, a sick feeling was building in the pit of her stomach. She watched as Trick, mumbling to himself, disappeared down the stairs. Lauren was pacing back and forth with a worried look on her face, mumbling to herself.

"I can't just sit around here, I have to help her!" Lauren muttered under her breath as she walked towards the door. Then she left without a word to anyone.

It was just Kenzi and Tamsin. Kenzi had already sat down at the bar.

Tamsin's apprehension was building when she went behind the bar and poured herself that much needed drink. She pours one for Kenzi and slides it over to her. Kenzi just wraps her hands around it, staring into the glass. As Tamsin begins drinking hers, she watching Kenzi. Kenzi is agitated. There's a worried look all over her face and her posture even reflects her concern. Tamsin downs that glass and pours herself another. Finally she says. "Kenz, where's Bo?"

Tears are welling up in her eyes when she looks at Tamsin. She finally says, in a pained voice, "She's gone, Tamsin."

In a moment of panic at the words, Tamsin reaches across the bar and grabs Kenzi's shoulders. At the sudden contact, Kenzi looks up at her. Tamsin almost yells at her, but stops herself when she sees the lost look in Kenzi's eyes. She softens her facial features, but her voice is still deep when she asks, "What do you mean she's gone, Kenz? Gone where?" She feels as if she's going to choke on each words, her panic rising and stomach churning.

Kenzi, using arm gestures, rapidly begins telling her about finding the box the previous night and giving it to Bo right after Tamsin left. She told her about the bottle filled with black smoke that was inside and then she just stops. A look of panic washes over Kenzi's face when she starts muttering over and over "I can't believe she's gone again."

Tamsin remembered talking to Dyson and Lauren about the box, during the time loop. For some reason, they thought it was their place to decide what was best for Bo, even though the box was addressed to her. Tamsin told them that if Bo had sent it to herself, she must have known she wasn't in danger. It was Bo's place to decide what she did, not theirs. They didn't even consider her words. Tamsin hated that about them. That they never had confidence in Bo. Always doing things behind her back, FOR her. Bo was great at getting into trouble, absolutely, but she was perfectly capable ofgetting herself out. Tamsin had absolute confidence in Bo's abilities, so she didn't care to listen to any more of their usual whiny bullshit. So, she quickly excused herself from that very fucked up conversation.

Tamsin's patience with Kenzi was wearing thin. She needed this feeling in her stomach to go away. She needed to know what actually happened with Bo. Yet again, she steeled herself and spoke calmly to Kenzi as she guided her back to the situation at hand.

"Okay, Kenz. So, she has a jar filled with black smoke, and…" Her hand motions for Kenzi to finish. Kenzi just looks at her glass in her hand. Then she finally begins speaking.

"When she opened the jar, a man just appeared in black smoke. He wanted her to go with him. Alone. Bo wanted to get back on the train so she could figure everything out. That's why she even opened the jar. She told us before she did it, that it was killing her not knowing why she was dark or what happened to her when she disappeared, what she didn't remember, and she needed answers. She said she was tired of being afraid." Then she looks at Tamsin, fear apparent on her face "I tried to stop her, Tamsin. But... but she said we had to let her go... alone."

Tamsin lets out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. She felt calmer. Somewhat. She was still anxious, but more confident than she had been when she first arrived.

'Bo know's what she's doing.' she reassured herself.

She goes around the bar and sits beside Kenzi. She puts a hand on her shoulder, much gentler than before and says, "Okay, Kenz, look at me. It's okay. Just calm down, okay? Let's go talk to Trick."

Kenzi stops her from walking away, by grabbing her arm, "Wait! Aren't you going to go and try to help Dyson and Lauren find her? Why are you so calm about this?"

Tamsin looks down, considers her words, and then looks back up at Kenzi, locking gazes. She takes a deep breath and exhales. Then says,

"Look, momz. Bo sent it to herself, so that tells me that she knew she wouldn't be in danger. She's not stupid. She asked you all to let her go alone, so she must have felt like it was something she needed to do. By herself. I have confidence in Bo, Kenzi, and I know you do, too. She's going to come back. I'm sure of it. My only concern is knowing more about the Wanderer and that's why we need to talk to Trick, okay?" Tamsin says.

Kenzi sighs and looks down. She was impressed and yet not surprisedthat Tamsin thought so much of Bo.

"You're right, T. We need to talk to Trick. He's always keeping things from Bo and we need to know what it is." She said finally.

After Trick had insulted them, he left them in the study rather abruptly. They had snooped around until they had finally found Trick's blood book and vial of blood. Tamsin didn't agree with Kenzi's plan, but couldn't offer a better one. Kenzi had written Bo's name in the book with Trick's blood, but nothing happened until Tamsin picked up the book and her thumb brushed across the fresh blood.

As she stood holding the book, now frozen to her hands, she went into a trance. Her face darkened and she said in a dark, menacing voice, "I must take his soul, it belongs to me."

The memories begin flooding through her. Stolen memories. She sees herself with the Blood King, making the deal for Ranier's soul. She's at the end of her lives and she knows that her soul is damned. She's made so many mistakes and her outer shell reflects what she feels inside. The life she has led has eaten away at every part of her. He offers her the time to cleanse her soul, right her wrongs. She makes the deal because she knows what she needs to do and she just desperately needs more time. She knew that trading Rainer's soul would keep her locked out of Vahalla while she was living, but that wasn't what concerned her. She couldn't even go past the front gate anyway.

More memories flood through her. She is in the palace of Richard Rahl's descendants, days before she returned to the Blood King Wars. A seer spoke to her. The seer's words had drawn her out of the darkness that had enveloped her life, that had rotted her core. There was redemption for everything she had done, but she had so much to do and so little time. She returned to the battle, intent on doing her duty, delivering the souls and then surviving the battle. To right her wrongs. The seer's words had inflamed the hope that she once had.

A realization of what she had truly lost. The Blood King, he took all of those memories, her new surge of purpose, her knowledge of the path to redemption. The path she had, for so long, thought didn't exist. Without that knowledge, she would continue along the same path as before. Never righting the wrongs.

Tamsin saw the pompous, self-righteous Blood King, speaking down to her on the battle field. Calling her a vulture. Then she heard the echo of Trick's words, his haughty tone when he had spoken to herself and Kenzi earlier in his study when he said… "I don't have time to explain myself to a human, and a low life." He was still the same, he couldn't be trusted.

The realization of all of those wasted years was too much for her. She dropped the book, and the world went black.

She woke up to Kenzi's frantic voice. She had to tell her in case the memories were taken again.

"Whatever you do, don't trust Trick!" she told Kenzi, with a look of urgency upon her face.

Kenzi looked confused and was about to speak when they heard noise upstairs. Bo's name. Lauren, Trick and Dyson's voices. They looked at each other. Kenzi took off and Tamsin, shakily, followed.

Bo was standing there beside an unknown man. The tension was thick in the air.

Bo was looking between the man and Dyson and then she said, "Just listen, all of you…" She looked around to each of them, a slightly pained look on her face, "I did all of this, because he's not my enemy and he's definitely not my father…" Then she looked over at the man and put her hand on his arm, sliding it down to grasp his hand. "He's my destiny."

Tamsin wanted to be sick. Those words. That look she gave the man. She had to leave, now. She turned and ran back to Trick's study. When she was alone, she sat, her face buried in her palms. Her heart was racing, threatening to burst from her chest. Her breathing was rapid, The pressure of the last few hours and those final three words overcame her completely.

"He's my destiny."

She was spent. Emotionally drained. She laid down on the couch and closed her eyes, willing herself to sleep, hoping that if this wasn't a nightmare, that she would never wake up.
