Bo has since left the precinct, using the information that she received from Tamsin to follow a lead on an art dealer. She finds out from the dealer that Ba'al was supplying certain clientele with girls for fetish pain games, and that he had murdered a girl. Bo informs both Tamsin and Hale, and as it turns out, the girl that was murdered was a missing Light Fae. Bo and Kenzi head back to Club Noctem in search of the only human witness, believing that whoever is framing Dyson will go after her next.
Meanwhile Tamsin gets a message to meet The Morrigan at Vex's night club. She complies even though she is unaware of what it is about. Tamsin goes into the basement, in a backroom, and finds the bartender Silas, The Morrigan, Vex, and to her surprise Dyson in restraints, bound to the ceiling. Vex is in the middle of burning Dyson with a hot poker.
"Well lookey lookey what we have here, Tamsin, come to join in on the festivities luv?" says Vex, with a huge smile.
"It's about time you showed up. I sent that message an hour ago," says The Morrigan, annoyed.
"Twenty minutes. And I'm here. Didn't realize I was coming to an execution," says Tamsin, to The Morrigan.
"Darling sometimes when you want a job done, you have to do it yourself," says The Morrigan.
A bruised Dyson looks at Tamsin angrily. "And you Tamsin," he says, in his growly voice. "I should've known that you would be a part of this. Here to finish the job?"
"I'm here on business, same as you," says Tamsin, with her smirk, leaning against the wall, folding her arms.
"Now that all of my favorite people are here," says The Morrigan. She sways over to Dyson. "It's time for you to start talking."
"Oh goody, presents," says Vex, stirring the fire pit with the poker.
"Whatever you're hoping to find out, you won't," says Dyson. "I had nothing to do with Ba'al's death."
"Oh honey, I could care less about Ba'al. That was a disaster waiting to happen anyway," says The Morrigan, with a quaint smile.
Tamsin looks at The Morrigan in confusion. Wondering that if Ba'al was such a nuisance then why all the fuss? But then she gets her answer.
The Morrigan continuing with Dyson, "But you on the other hand, you're exactly what I've been waiting on. Now be a good little wolf pup and give me all the little details on your lover the Succubus," she says.
Tamsin is frowning at The Morrigan. But then she thinks, maybe if Dyson does tell her what she wants to know then she wouldn't have to shadow Bo anymore, but knowing Dyson, he likely would not.
"If you want to know about Bo then ask your partners in crime," says Dyson, with defiance. "Her close friend is standing on the wall," he says. Tamsin looks over to him, her eyes hostile. "And Vex is the one that knows all of her secrets."
"All cock-and-bull stories on my part I'm afraid," says Vex, with a laugh.
"And what do you say Tamsin?" says Dyson.
"You want to know what I say Dyson? I say don't come for me Dyson, or that poker will be the least of your problems," Tamsin threatens.
"Oooh testy," says Vex. "What I would pay to see that show."
"Enough! Now, we all know that you know more than you're telling. That face of yours says it all. But no worries, we'll get it out of you…eventually," says The Morrigan, to Dyson. He growls at her.
"And we are going to have so much fun doing it," says Vex, sticking Dyson with the poker again, who growls in pain. Tamsin looks away.
Several minutes have gone by and Tamsin is as bored as ever, staring at the ceiling. Vex is still creating a canvas on Dyson's backside. Silas is leaning quietly against the wall, and The Morrigan is busy messaging on her phone.
The Morrigan puts her phone away and sighs in contempt. "Never have I encountered a torture so, what's the word, oh yes, uninspiring. For the record, your plan is to not tell me anything about the Succubus, correct?" she asks.
"Pry it out of my dead body," says Dyson.
Tamsin is struck by Dyson's willingness to die before betraying Bo, thinking it honorable and yet very stupid.
"Well, when you're dead you won't be able to talk. Good thing Tamsin's here," says The Morrigan. She looks over to Vex. "Send him off."
"With pleasure," says Vex, poker in hand.
Suddenly Bo along with Kenzi charge into the room. Bo pushes Vex out of the way, taking the poker from him, and putting it to The Morrigan's neck. "Now all of you stay where you are, and no funny business or the face gets it," says Bo.
"You don't really think you're going to get away with this do you?" says The Morrigan, arrogantly.
"Bo you and Kenzi get out of here!" Dyson yells.
"No, not without you," says Bo.
"What are you doing here?" says Tamsin, frowning.
Bo looks over, shocked to see Tamsin. "I can say the same about you. Judging by the looks of things, I'd say that you're not part of the rescue committee either. No surprises there," she says, rolling her eyes.
"This is business, it's nothing personal," says Tamsin.
"What is it with you two, seriously?" says Vex, shaking his head in a pondering manner.
"Whatever Tamsin," says Bo. "Kenzi get Dyson down."
"I don't think you're fully aware of the situation you've put yourself in my dear," says The Morrigan.
"Oh I'm aware. Kenzi what are you waiting for?" asks Bo.
"I'm stuck Bo," says Kenzi, not able to move.
"Courtesy of yours truly," says Vex, his arm stretched forward. "Looks like we have a bit of a dilemma don't you think?" he says, with a wicked smile. He spins Kenzi toward the fire pit.
Dyson is fighting with his restraints. "I swear if anything happens to her Vex I'll cut your throat out."
"Oh no, run all the lil'o kiddies, here comes the big bad wolf. Am I to shake in my scanties?" says Vex.
"Dude, scanties? That is so wrong," says Kenzi.
Bo moves the poker closer to The Morrigan's neck. "Don't try me."
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that Bo," says Tamsin, her back off the wall.
"You've gotta be shitting me?" says Kenzi, stuck in an uncomfortable stance.
"Damn it took you long enough," says The Morrigan, to Tamsin.
Bo looks over to Tamsin, her expression showing her disappointment. "You're going to do this again?"
"Like I said, it's nothing personal," says Tamsin, her eyes sympathetic to Bo nonetheless. "Now you have two choices, you can either put the poker down or I'll put it down for you," says Tamsin, all the while The Morrigan grinning from ear to ear.
"Don't listen to her Bo, she's a traitor," says Kenzi. Tamsin gives Kenzi a really annoyed look.
Dyson growls at Tamsin, his eyes changing colors.
"Do it now Succubus, and I promise I'll go easy on you and your little friends," says The Morrigan.
Bo weighs her options. Vex and Tamsin, and assumingly The Morrigan since she is the leader of The Dark, are all powerful. And with Dyson chained up and Kenzi disabled, taking all three plus the other Dark Fae in the room isn't the best odds. Yet the thought of giving up is even more discomforting. She doesn't know what to think about Tamsin anymore, and is trying her best not to let Tamsin's betrayal affect her decision. Now comes the moment of her decision. And she decides to place everything on faith. Bo lowers the poker.
"Bo what are you doing?!" says Dyson.
"No Bo, don't," says Kenzi.
The Morrigan steps forward and takes the poker from out of Bo's hand, putting it close to her neck now. "Now where were we," says The Morrigan.
Tamsin's heart starts to beat faster, her body growing hotter each second. She tries to calm herself down, using breathing techniques, but it doesn't seem to be working out.
Vex laughs a very menacing laugh. "Ooh you're going to really get it now. Any particular design you want done to your face?" he says, to Bo.
"No Bo-Bo, not the face," says Kenzi.
"Wait," says Bo. "I can prove that Dyson didn't do it."
"And why would I care at this point?" asks The Morrigan.
"Wouldn't you like to know who is killing their own kind?" says Kenzi.
"I don't have conversations with pets," says The Morrigan. She looks back over to Bo. "Now are you trying to tell me that the killer is Dark Fae?"
"Not only that, but they're here, in this room," says Bo.
Both Vex and Tamsin look at each other then they look at Silas, who is looking at the both of them.
"Silas would know better than anyone, isn't that right?" says Bo. As soon as Bo says that, Silas runs for the exit.
"Oh no, not so fast," says Vex, stopping Silas in his tracks and at the same time letting go of his grasp over Kenzi.
Kenzi rushes over to Dyson's chains and releases him. Dyson grabs Vex by the neck, growling ferociously. He then stares at Tamsin with a malicious intent in his eyes. The Morrigan sighs at Vex in disappointment.
"Okay everyone just needs to chillax. We all know that the killer is Silas," says Kenzi.
"You all haven't proven anything to me. And Silas murdering Ba'al," says The Morrigan, shaking her head. "That's nonsense, he had no reason to," she says, sure of herself.
"Yes, he did. And it's the same reason why all of us sometimes do foolish things," says Bo, looking at Tamsin, who is looking back at her. "They do it for love."
Suddenly the air is becoming hard to breathe for Tamsin. She squeezes her shirt over her chest.
Kenzi recaps for everyone the events that led up to this moment, highlighting Silas' involvement, and his love for Portia, the human witness.
"What makes you think I believe a word that you're saying?" says The Morrigan. She looks at Bo. "I have you exactly where I want you. And you my dear, you aren't going anywhere."
"You can't do that," says Dyson. "The Ash won't stand for this."
"Oh but I can do whatever it is I want. You are on my turf now. You play by my rules," says The Morrigan.
"That's not right. This isn't right. See this is exactly the type of shit that I was talking about Bo. The Dark Fae, they can't be trusted. It doesn't matter who it is," says Kenzi as a matter of fact.
"Ooh flattery will get you everywhere doll," says Vex.
Tamsin clears her throat.
"Got something to say deary?" says Vex.
"Oh what is it now?" says The Morrigan.
"Let her go," says Tamsin, calmly to The Morrigan. Everyone suddenly looks at Tamsin.
"Um excuse me?" says The Morrigan, taken aback.
"Tamsin sweets, have you gone mad as a box of frogs?" says Vex, looking at her strangely.
"I said let go of her," says Tamsin, sternly.
"Tamsin, what are you doing?" says Bo.
"Signing her death wish," says The Morrigan, pissed beyond belief. "And here I thought you were smarter." She shakes her head. "Stupid girl. You want me to let the Succubus go huh?" The Morrigan grabs the back of Bo's hair tightly. Bo frowns from the pain. The Morrigan laughs. "Vex darling, play time is over."
"Thought you'd never ask," says Vex, gritting his teeth. Suddenly Tamsin moves to the wall, forcefully hitting against it, her hands around her throat, choking herself. Vex laughs. "Mum always said that two hands were better than one."
Kenzi tries to run over to Bo, but Dyson grabs her by the throat with both of his hands. "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?" says Vex. Dyson growls.
Silas freed looks as if he is about to escape, The Morrigan lifts her free hand up. "Don't be foolish," she says, to him. Knowing of The Morrigan's power, he doesn't move, holding his hands in the air.
Vex looks over to Tamsin, who is struggling to free herself from his clutches. "Nothing personal," he says, with a laugh.
"You fuckers…are all…crazy," says Kenzi, hardly able to talk.
"Oooh I resent that," says Vex.
"Now where did we leave off? All these interruptions, people just have no manners these days. Oh yes, Tamsin. I can see that you're busy over there. Wait, I just came up with a marvelous idea," says The Morrigan, in a chipper voice. "Since you want me to let the Succubus go, how about we make a deal, just a minor trade, your life for hers, or vice versa, your choice. What do you say?"
"Go to hell," says Tamsin.
"Hmmm," says The Morrigan, with a frown. "I'm disappointed in you Tamsin. I thought I taught you better," she says. Then she looks as if she is about to stick Bo with the poker.
"Don't," says Tamsin, sounding worried and threatening at the same time.
The Morrigan smirks at Tamsin. She then places the sharp end of the poker against Bo's skin for good measure, burning it into her flesh. Kenzi yells for Bo while Dyson growls bloody murder. Bo's eyes glow blue as she shouts loudly in pain. "I mean really, go to hell Tamsin? Is that the best you've got?" says The Morrigan, smiling. She and Vex both laugh.
"Yeah," says Tamsin. Then she pauses. "It is."
Suddenly a horrible laugh crawls behind everyone, and it is more sinister than what any of them has ever heard, coming from nowhere in particular. The lights in the room start flashing, and the temperature drops to bitter. The smell of sulfur creeps into their nostrils. Kenzi covers her nose.
The floor ripples underneath Tamsin. Then chains erupt from it, clasping around her ankles, her hands, then her neck, pulling her down. The Morrigan slowly backs away from Bo. As Tamsin struggles, more chains clasp to her. Everyone looks on, petrified. Tamsin falls to her knees, hunched over, her hands on the floor, head down. Then the ripples move from the ground through her as she slowly pulls her body up, standing, her head still facing downward.
"YOU WANT HELL," says Tamsin, in a demonic voice, smoke coming out of her mouth with each word. She lifts up her head and her eyes are no longer, now an empty area, deep and sullen. Black streaks run from the abyss that replaced them to the edge of her face. "ALLOW ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU."
Then the entire room becomes eerily silent as if someone pressed a mute button, and it is filled with darkness. No one can see or hear anything. Then the sounds of their breathing can be heard. The lighting fades to that reddish color similar to those seen in a photography darkroom. The room itself is the same, yet it has become different, like it has been worn out, and badly burned. Grayish figures appear, standing around Tamsin, in tattered clothing and chains suspending from them.
"FIAT JUSTITIA RUAT CAELUM," says Tamsin. The figures move in a robotic like fashion, slowly away from Tamsin, who is standing with her arms extended out, chains still pulling at her. As the figures move, wails of suffering travel with them. The others in the room stand frozen in their positions as the figures near them. Kenzi is silently repeating a prayer with her eyes closed.
When they reach their person of interest they automatically stop moving. Tamsin slants her head, and all at once the beings start ripping Silas apart from flesh to bone. It is so painful that he cannot even make a sound. When it is over, he stands without a body, his ripped remains surrounding him. His soul is stretched out by several hands. Tamsin lifts her chained hand into a fist, and yanks it towards her. Then the sound of a loud switch is heard, and everything is restored to usual, including Tamsin.
Everyone remains still until the poker drops from the Morrigan's hand. Then it is like a domino effect is going through the room. Kenzi passes out. Dyson, Vex, and The Morrigan all vomit from the shift, and possibly from the sight, except Bo, who appears unaffected at least in a physical sense. Tamsin looks around assessing the damage as if she can't believe what just happened. She then shakes her head, and runs out.
"Tamsin, wait," calls Bo, to no avail. Bo then turns around to see about the others. She goes over to Kenzi and holds her in her arms.
Kenzi awakes, frowning. "I have to hurl," she says, jumping up, and hurriedly running over to a corner.
Meanwhile Tamsin is in an alley, curved over, appearing to be in excruciating pain. Her teeth clenched together as her body slides down from against a building.
Back inside, the others are in mid discussion, talking about everything from Ba'al and up to Silas' demise.
"Well we can all agree that justice was served," says The Morrigan.
"Yeah, no thanks to you," says Kenzi.
"Oh turn that frown upside down sweetie, unless of course you want wrinkles," says The Morrigan. She takes her phone out of her clutch bag and dials a number. "Get me a search team, I want Tamsin found." She hangs up the phone. "No one gets away with me spewing on my own Prada's." She takes a mirror out and fixes her hair. "Now then. Vex darling, let's be on our way. Send my best to The Ash," she says as she walks away.
"No hard feelings eh?" says Vex. Dyson and Kenzi give him a look. Vex laughs his creepy laugh then exit.
"We should get going to," says Kenzi, helping with Dyson.
Dyson looks around. "Where's Bo?"
Back in the alley, Tamsin hears a sound and she stands to her feet. "Who's there?" Her facial expression reveals that she is in no shape to fight, but her eyes turn black anyway, regardless of the pain. They suddenly return to normal as she sees what is behind the noise. "Bo?" she says, wondering why she's come. Bo walks over to her. "You shouldn't be here," says Tamsin, looking away from her. Bo moves her face back to her. "No, don't Bo. I'm a…I'm a monster," she says, sadness in her eyes.
"No you're not," says Bo, in a gentle voice.
"How can you say that? You saw me. You saw what I did."
"No Tamsin," says Bo, with a sincere look in her eyes. "What I saw was why you did it."
"What, what are you talking about Bo?" Tamsin's eyes tracing Bo's, searching for an answer that makes sense to her.
"I'm talking about you Tamsin. I saw that look in your eyes when you felt that I was in danger." Bo pauses. "Tamsin, you care about me."
Tamsin immediately looks up. "Oh Bo, please don't."
"And I care about you."
Tamsin looks back over to Bo, shaking her head. "Bo you don't know what you're saying."
"I'm saying that even with the possibility of what you believe is true, I still would rather be with you Tamsin," says Bo. Then Tamsin makes this abrupt sound that sounds like a gasp, laugh and cry all mixed together, her eyes still worried and sad. Bo moves closer to Tamsin, placing her arms on both sides of Tamsin, her hands against the building. "Tamsin, tell me, don't you want to be with me too?"
Tamsin's eyes are watery, yet a tear does not fall. "I'm afraid to say."
"Why?" asks Bo, softly.
Tamsin sighs. "Because, once words leave your mouth, you can never get them back Bo. And." She inhales deeply. "I don't want anything to happen to you because of me."
"Tamsin, we make our own destinies. You need to stop worrying about the consequences of living, and start living to enjoy your life," Bo says, with sincerity. She pauses. "And I, I honestly don't care what happens, as long as you're there with me…But I can't be the only one." Bo takes a deep breath now. "Tamsin, what do you want? And I mean really want…Right here, right now?"
Tamsin frowns her face like she is in pain. Her mouth looks as if it wants to say the words, but she doesn't want to allow it, biting down on her lip. She shuts her eyes and releases from out of her mouth what seemed like an eternity she held inside. "You Bo." She opens her eyes. "I want you…more than anything else in this world."
Bo had hoped that Tamsin would say something along those lines, but to actually hear them come out of her mouth, fills Bo with an indescribable feeling inside. She places her hand over her heart, feeling it beat. She then takes Tamsin's hand and places it over it. Bo closes her eyes. "Do you feel that?" She keeps her hand over Tamsin's hand. "That's how I feel whenever I'm with you, good or bad." She opens her eyes, Tamsin looking into them.
Tamsin takes Bo's hand, and places it over her heart. "You see Bo, my heart beats for you too."
Then they kiss. They kiss as if they had been in love forever and finally reuniting what seems eons later. And this time, they're not letting go.
