Recap / Lost Girl S 3 E 1 Caged Fae

Go To

Three weeks after the Garuda's defeat, Bo's on a rampage, breaking Fae laws.


  • The Alcatraz: Hecuba, the Fae Women's prison, built on top of Get Laid... er, Ley Lines to strip Fae of their powers.
  • All Lesbians Want Kids: Bo and Lauren get distracted by a baby and discuss baby names.
  • Amazon Brigade: The guards at the prison. Amazons and corrupt.
    • Does Not Like Men: They only interact with them in order to mate, once every five years... and then they kill any boys.
  • Bad "Bad Acting": Kenzi's redneck hooker impression.
  • Big Damn Kiss: After Bo declares that she "wants to give this a real shot" with Lauren. Awwww.
  • Call-Back: Kenzi still has the "rash" she got from the Norn's ... gift, and Vex's arm is still broken.
  • The Chains of Commanding: Hale is the new Ash, and he misses the action.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Bo kisses the Warden while powerless shortly before being tortured. Then she does it again shortly before being killed. ... Because it's a quick way to check for stubble and confirm the Warden's a man.
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: After Bo picks a fight with the guard. But not on the face. The Warden wants her pretty.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: Bo's been on a tear. She's gone to prison, now, for robbing a bank.
  • Fanservice: The Warden puts Bo in a Stripperific outfit to scrub the floors of her office so that she can spend time Eating the Eye Candy.
  • Gender Reveal: The Warden is a man Disguised in Drag! Complete with a Crotch-Grab Sex Check by one of the guards to confirm it. Followed by a guttural scream of rage.
    • One of the more unsettling examples, as not only does the show assume the Warden's gender based on sex, the Warden is then dragged off screaming "I'm one of you!"
  • Get into Jail Free
  • Girls Behind Bars: With obligatory lesbian fanservice. At least they have an excuse.
  • Homoerotic Subtext
    • Vex spends time flirting with Dyson and Hale. How much of that do you think is just him screwing with them?
    • Kenzi passionately snogs Bo for a Sleight of Tongue pass.
  • Mind Screw: Bo's cellmate gets release and shows up the next day, locked in solitary confinement, pregnant, and about to give birth. Turns out the Amazons are quick-breeding babies using magic sperm.
  • Money to Throw Away: Bo robs a bank, then throws away the money outside a nightclub.
  • Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: When Bo learns her cellmate's in for stealing bread, she asks if she's Jean Valjean. She insists her name is Sylvie.
  • Shower Scene: Bo's intro to the prison. All the prison guards stand around her making no secret of how they are Eating the Eye Candy.
  • Situational Sexuality: We see two women making out in the common room.
  • The One Guy: The Warden, surprisingly. He's disguised as a woman so he can get the Amazons to work with him.
  • Time Skip: Like after the first season, it's been three weeks.
  • Undercover Cop Reveal: Doesn't take too long to reveal that Bo is undercover.
  • Villainous Lineage: Bo worries at the end that she's a monster like her mother... like her father. Trick reassures her that she's not. Then she grabs some random guy in the alley and drains him.

Succubus In Prison

Bo realizes prison will be a bad time for her due to how the warden, the staff and the prisioners all lust after her.
