Eyes Both Brown and Blue
LOST GIRL – Episode 312 – Hail, Hale – SPOILERS
Tamsin
Lauren, after achieving unexpected success in one of her experiments, almost says “I need to text my girlfriend”. The doctor later discovers she’s been duped by Dr. Taft (Shawn Doyle) into helping him achieve his misguided goals, and Lauren seems poised to save the day in the season finale.
Fae and human physiologies must be quite similar, otherwise fossil skeletal remains would display major differences and scientists would be aware of the existence of the Fae. Isaac’s research concerns transplanting Fae DNA into humans. Were Fae organs transplanted into a human, they might continue to secrete chemicals that activate dormant genes, turning the humans into Fae for all intents and purposes. In the show’s first episode, Dr. Lewis said that the Fae are “an evolutionary branch that predates humans”. (The word “predate” was used incorrectly. She meant to say “pre-date”.)
Lauren discovers the caged Dyson
Tamsin comes close to telling Bo she loves her when, fully clothed but without her shoes, she joins Bo in a bubble bath. “Where do you get off being so perfect?”she asks. Bo replies that she is not perfect, and Tamsin continues: “Yes you are. To me you are. Your eyes are both brown and blue, your heart both strong and gentle. You’re virtuous; you’re a succubus. You shouldn’t be.”
Then a wet, soapy, drunken Tamsin climbs out of the tub and departs and apparently heads directly to Lauren’s place, where Bo finds her later. Tamsin, still drinking, is wearing a bathrobe and eating cereal. Bo will not be distracted from finding Lauren and Dyson, so the smitten Valkyrie agrees to help. Then Rachel Skarsten delivers a line in a way that Bette Davis would admire: “I’m gonna get dressed,” she says, “You should change that frock. Things are going to get dirty.”
Dyson and Hale
Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) gets kissed by some guy calling himself Massimo aka The Dru(id?) played by Tim Rozon. Shortly thereafter, Hale, who is busy preparing to become the next Ash, comes close to telling Kenzi he loves her, but doesn’t. Then he kisses her and slips something into her pocket.
KENZI: “We all used to be friends here.”
HALE: “Dammit, Kenzi, you’re not my friend. You’ve never been just a friend. If anything happens to you, I won’t be any good to anyone. And right now, I need to be better than I’ve ever been.”
KENZI: “Why didn’t you tell me that?”
The only other on-screen kisses for Kenzi happened during her relationship with Nate (Aaron Ashmore), which began in “Masks” (episode 2.12) and ended in “Truth and Consequences” (episode 2.19).
Before the inaugural ceremony, Dyson gives Hale a little box with an unknown something inside while Hale (K.C. Collins) is putting on a tux. The scene has a pre-wedding vibe, as though Hale was getting married, and Dyson was his best man.
Trick (Rick Howland) rolls up the drawing of the winged horse seen at the end of The Ceremony (Season 3 Episode 9), and escapes the Dál through a secret passage. Emerging through a barbershop, he is apprehended by two “Blackwater-types” (played by Dimitri Pavlakos and George Tchortov), and is unceremoniously tossed into a car trunk.
Miscellaneous Info
Trick (Rick Howland) is seized by two hired thugs outside Danny’s Barbershop which was, when the show aired, a real place on Lakeshore Blvd. West in Etobicoke, Ontario.
Rick Howland is Daniel Dershowitz Sr., in Richard Elfman‘s musical horror-comedy BLOODY BRIDGET, in which burlesque Bridget O’Brian, following a series of abusive events, meets the Haitian voodoo deity of life and death (Baron Samedi, played by Jean Charles) and becomes a “valentine vampire”, empowered to defend women against the evil and oppression. A sequel, BLOODY BRIDGET 2, is in pre-production.
George Tchortov (Blackwater type #2) is Quinn in three episodes of THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY (Season 4). He will also be Gary Yarborough in Justin Kurzel‘s crime drama THE ORDER, which should be released later this year.
