This habit of juggling storylines partially excuses L auren being so mysterious over the phone at the end, but mostly it’s just baiting us. Lost Girl has a habit of not resolving all an episode’s problems within the episode – this show is unusually good at bringing things back up later and making the characters honestly address them. Faux Kenzi playing Lauren and Dyson games and taking Bo’s phone, for instance though it plays a pivitol role in confusing the issue in this episode (and from the look of the promos, the next), at some point I have faith it will serve a purpose in another good ol’ open-relationship but not the ex talk human/succubus/not-the-wolf talk. I think the writers don’t want to tear apart too much of their tenuous appreciation for each other.) Ksenia Solo is having a ball with her character, which is only fair considering in “Original Skin,” Kris Holden-Ried got to have all her fun.
(Though Kenzi’s post-credit outfit was the most un-Kenzi outfit, the post-credit Kenzi/Lauren interactions were the most Kenzi interactions. At that point, she’s just jumping up and down with a neon sign. The writers do well, though, to slowly reveal to the audience what we suspect, until the point where Kenzi asks Trick what she owes for her drink. If you’ve been watching the show, the Kenzi thing is not a revelation, let alone a spoiler.
There are essentially four investigations going: Bo/Lauren/Kenzi into the goop death, Dyson/Tamsin into the goop death, Dyson/Tamsin into the mysterious succubus death, and Bo/Audience into the faux Kenzi. First things first: the episode has too much going on, on too few sets (more on this later). Too much mystery, too many plotlines which may be a side-effect of the writers coming off an extended season into another shorter one.
