November 14, 2013 by Stephanie

When Kenzi and Dyson take on a case for a new client whose memory of her daughter has been erased, they soon realize that their memories have been tampered with as well. To find out what they've lost, they attend a gala of a rich man who owns a device that might restore their memories. Meanwhile, everyone is adjusting to the recent changes in local government with Vex ascending to the position of The Morrigan and a group of Fae called the Una Mens surfacing.

Drink Special: Mind Eraser

1 part Kahlua
1 part Vodka
2 parts Club soda, tonic water, or Sprite

Layer Kahlua, vodka, and club soda, tonic water, or Sprite over ice in an old-fashioned glass. Drink the entire drink all at once through a straw.

First impressions

  • Annie: WTF-ery awesome! (and general excitement) Such a strong cast!
  • Kris: Two things: Oh! That's why Kris Holden-Ried was talking about George Takei in green tights! Oh! That's why Paul Amos kept talking about his codpiece!
  • Stephanie: Such a fun episode, but not a great one for new viewers. Lots of fan-service! Is this indicative of a highly serialized season?
  • Annie says it's a bold decision to take the show this direction. Stephanie points out that fans of the show really like the outside-the-box episodes, such as “Original Skin.”
  • While we missed Bo (and Anna Silk), Ksenia Solo as Kenzi was an amazing fill-in lead. She really got to showcase (ha!) her range of talents.

Kenzi and Dyson

  • Stephanie sent Kris this message while watching: “EW EW EW DYSON AND KENZI EW”
  • Annie had a similar reaction until she realized that if Dyson was with Kenzi then that cleared the road to Doccubus.
  • We have complicated feelings about Denzi. They're cute and have great chemistry, but there's an existing big brother/little sister dynamic.
  • In a Bo-less world, Kris thinks Kenzi and Dyson could work. Also, she thinks Dyson might just be attracted to that robe (kidding! I'm kidding!)

. . . And Hale!

  • Kenzi is . . . Dancing with the Fae. The dance scene was a hit with us!
  • More triangles! There's always a triangle. Or possibly another shape of some sort.
  • Stephanie likes that it was a fun triangle scene. (Maybe Lauren/Bo/Dyson should dance it out?!?)

Vex and THAT Outfit

  • We're impressed with Paul's ability to walk in those heels. And the outfit in general. You go, Paul!
  • Stephanie points out that Vex's “shirt” is like a leather version of what Leeloo (Dallas Multi-pass) wore in The Fifth Element.
  • Then Annie keeps talking about The Codpiece. And the side-view.
  • Stephanie's favorite line goes to Vex: “Since when do you like balls?”

Fae Fight!

  • We get to see Hale and Vex use their powers again.
  • Apparently, Vex's mesmer powers don't work on Dyson when he shifts. They mentioned it twice, but nothing came of it. (Yet!)
  • Vex can't seem to stop making enemies.
  • Annie likes the story about Evony dying on the toilet. Kris breaks out the nerd-knowledge about how one might die on the toilet, which it turns out Stephanie also has (any other X-Philes out there?).

Aife!

  • Threatening Trick! We think he'll probably keep himself safe through magical/mystical means.
  • Giant knife in a handbag!
  • Stephanie thinks Aife and Dyson both seemed more peaceful having forgotten Bo.

Drinks at The Dal co-host nerd-glee

  • Pals at The Dal! (That's us!!!!)
  • Stuffed unicorn! Possibly made of fiberglass.
  • The waitress!
  • Stephanie was impressed with the sets.
  • Annie really likes the score.

Guest Stars

  • George Takei is delightfully creepy. That man has presence!
  • Mia Kirshner was introduced and will obviously be back. Something about Clio is off.

Questions, questions

What's up with the oozing box?

  • Is Bo in there?
  • What do those runes say?
  • How did Kenzi know about it?

What's the deal with the Una Mens?

  • How does everybody know when they're coming? Did Trick tell them?
  • Will it coincide with Sweeps week?
  • Will we find out when the characters provide exposition to Bo or one of the other characters absent or largely absent from this episode?

Who's responsible for the memory wipe?

  • Are we to assume that the Wanderer is responsible for the memory wipe?
  • Was the memory wipe what the rune glass did? Yes, Kris might be kind of fixated on the rune glass.

#Doccubuster

  • Lauren's hair!!!?!! What is she wearing??? And why is she a waitress???
  • Has Lauren pulled an Alias? Kris argues that Sydney Bristow never would have done this.
  • Bo opened her eyes after Lauren said her name. No, that didn't specifically cause it, but the two scenes were deliberately placed back-to-back.
  • Annie likes the particular shade of blue of Bo's eyes at the end of the episode. Really. Also, not enough Lauren.

Lauren

Which is worse, Amber hair or Karen hair?

    • Annie: Amber
    • Stephanie: Karen
    • Kris: Maybe a tie, but probably Karen
  • We think it would have been great if Lauren had been sporting a Patsy Sewer from Instant Star look when she was on the run. (In case there was any doubt about our fan-cred, we make a lot of Instant Star references.)
  • Kenzi defending Lauren! Like we always wanted! Christmas has come early! Thank you, Santa Andras!
