Hellfire and Sexy Dragons
LOST GIRL – Episode 501 – Like Hell (Part I) – SPOILERS
Bo and Freyja
Singing “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”, Bo (Anna Silk) climbs a crag. Reaching the top, she stands and admires the view, then plucks the missing Helskór (aka hel-shoe) from a large bird’s nest. On the way down she slips, and falls quite some distance.
“She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain” has its roots in an old gospel song about The Rapture. “She” is sometimes interpreted as the vehicle returning the saviour to earth to pass judgement on the living and the dead. The choice of song might indicate that Bo is the vehicle destined to bring salvation to the Fae.
The Three Rednecks, played by Tyler McMaster, Trent Pardy, and Zach Apostoleris.
After her fall, Bo, apparently unconscious, is found by three unwise and unnamed men listed as ‘rednecks’ in the credits. Bo drains their chi to heal herself, but leaves them alive.
Back home, Bo asks Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten): “What happened when you delivered Kenzi’s soul? Whether it’s hellfires, evil dragons, sexy dragons. I don’t care. I can handle it.” The dragon Bo might be thinking of is Leviathan (Jennifer Dale), who lost a riddling contest to Bo in “Destiny’s Child” (episode 4.9). The Book of Job depicts Leviathan as a fire-breathing crocodile, which is not far from a dragon.
Tamsin is uncooperative, but tells Bo that she has given the other hel-shoe to Trick (Rick Howland). After retrieving the second Helskór, Bo visits Lauren at the clinic. (Lauren runs the Marquise Technical Clinic, and we can infer from this that she is still with The Dark, and that Evony Fleurette Marquis (Emmanuelle Vaugier) is still The Morrigan.
Unnamed woman banished by Freya
When Bo puts on the hel-shoes, they become invisible on her feet and she vanishes.
Upset by this turn of events, Lauren visits Tamsin, who is uncooperative, suggesting that Lauren should “eat a sack of tits”. Trick explains that Valkyries are blood-bound not to reveal anything about the afterlife. If they do, they die.
Bo enters Valhalla, and in that place it is always High Noon, at least according to the prominently-displayed clock. This suggests that Bo is about to face a dilemma similar to the one faced by Marshall Will Kane in the 1952 film of that name. She meets Freyja (Michelle Nolden) who is quickly revealed to be dangerous when she dispatches an uninvited guest (Rachel Blair) to a place of implied undesirability (probably Tartarus) through a portal of some sort. Bo avoids further official contact and instead seduces a maid and appropriates her uniform.
Freyja’s assistant Stacey
Freyja has an assistant named Stacey (Kate Corbett), a bully who has known Tamsin (and been her nemesis) for a long time.
When Bo finds her, Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) is not at all in distress. Freyja is arranging Kenzi’s wedding, but Bo’s arrival throws a wrench into the works, and makes Freyja send Hale (K C Collins), who died in “End of a Line” (episode 4.11) away and cancel the nuptials. Freya is ready to feed Kenzi to the evil unidentified dude that keeps phoning the hotel when Bo intervenes, which is what The Wanderer really wants anyway.
While Freyja (Michelle Nolden) sends Bo to Tartarus, a guard (Mary Ann Stevens) escorts Kenzi away, and Tamsin is held back by two other guards
Freyja, after promising to return Kenzi to her body, opens a portal and Bo finds herself in the hotel elevator which is lined with one thousand, six hundred and seventeen buttons on her way to meet someone who may be either her father, The Wanderer, The Pyrippus, or some combination thereof.
Kenzi is returned to her body, which is in her coffin. Fortunately, she is still wearing her wedding dress and has two things Bo gave her in preparation for the wedding: the matches (something new) and the knife (something borrowed).
