Recap / Lost Girl S 1 E 10 The Mourning After

Go To

Bo is hired to investigate a woman's suicide. Along the way, she meets another succubus, who gives her a crash-course in succubusing.


  • An Aesop: A strong, healthy sex drive is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you don't hurt anyone while indulging it.
  • Driven to Suicide: The victims. And rather dramatically, too.
  • Evil Mentor: Saskia is a Dark Fae, and she encourages Bo to try on her world.
  • Fluffy Fashion Feathers: Gloris the lightning bird is Dress-Coded for Your Convenience with a cape of glimmering feathers.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • Gloris mentions Trick's "book of blood", which will come back in the finale.
    • Saskia brushing off Kenzi's question about what would happen if she and Bo had sex with, "I'm really not all that attracted to my own kind" becomes oddly hilarious once you find out she's Bo's mother. Talk about a good excuse.
  • The Glomp: Bo getting some "Kenzi time" after having so much attention on her new friend.
  • Heh Heh, You Said "X": Kenzi is all over this trope.
    Bo: You sure it wasn't some kind of homicide?
    Dyson: Well, not judging by this. Had to pry it from her hands postmortem. She cracked the shaft with her muscle spasms.
    Kenzi: [snickers] Shaft.
    • And earlier, when she and Bo are having a nice, relaxed night at home drinking wine and polishing their weapons:
      Bo: Give me the six-inch.
      Kenzi: Honey, if I could give you the six-inch, all our problems would be solved.
  • Idle Rich: Saskia is shocked that Bo has an actual, labor-intensive job instead of her "sugar daddies in every port" strategy.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: Saskia's justification for killing Bertram.
  • Slut-Shaming: How the monster of the week kills. He's an albaster, a sort of inverse succubus who feeds on sexual shame instead of pleasure.
  • Sour Prudes / Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny: Bo's assessment of the Monster of the Week.
    Bo: Face it, Mr. Prude. You are just as horny as the rest of us. It's just that judging others is the only thing that gets you off.
    Saskia: Well said.
  • The End... Or Is It?:
  • Walk-In Chime-In: Saskia pulling a Big Damn Heroes.
    Bertram: A succubus with a conscience. And for your kind....what a wonderful amount of shame.
    Saskia: Bad news, Bert. [pulls him off Bo and begins chi-sucking him] Cause I'm pretty goddamn shameless.
