Those Bitches are Witches-Lost Girl 3X11

This episode was a return to the classic Lost Girl style that permeated the first and second season. It was a standard case, although those women *ahem* witches were in way over their heads with they decided to have Bo join them. The case was kind of secondary to the other overarching storylines, but it was nice to see Kenzi and Bo doing their BFF-crime-solving thing again.
You know what we need? A webseries of Kenzi babysitting
Back in Fae-land, dude from last episode who bought Lauren a drink blackmails her into joining a research project. Does anyone else think that her past isn't true? They have not hinted to Lauren having such a sordid past and I think that's it the Fae's cover. It would make a lot of sense to have this be her cover story, because once someone finds it they wouldn't look any deeper. It also clearly explains why Lauren is under the radar for such a brilliant scientist.


Maybe Lauren was just running away from that hair
 It was nice to see Hale again, but his position as the Ash has changed him. At least he tried to make it seem like Lauren wasn't a prisoner. I loved her portion of the episode where she takes off the necklace, symbolising her break away from the Fae. I think she'll be back though, but I'm excited to see her journey of self-discovery beyond her servitude to the Fae.
Could you sit any more douche-y?
Tamsin. Girl needs some sleep. Or fewer drinks. Having to turn Bo over to dark fae is really eating her up. I think by the end she will switch to Bo's side in the apparent forthcoming battle. It's very clear that she's, at the very least, become friends with Bo. One could even argue that she's in love with her. She has also gained a lot more respect for Dyson as this season has progressed, so maybe she will change sides? That would be an interesting storyline for the show to explore. Bo may be the unaligned succubus, but could Tamsin become the traitor Valkyrie?
No big deal. Just a bunch of dead Fae
Also, mass grave? Creepy. Bo's dad is coming, and he looks scary.

I think these storylines are foreshadowing the theme for the next season: redemption. Assuming Tamsin survives this season, her betrayal of Bo will have to be dealt with. And assuming she changes sides during the fight, her betrayal of the Dark will also be a problem. Lauren will have to get back in with the Fae after leaving, and maybe seeing Hale all of a sudden means we will see him next season trying to un-become a huge douche. Next week, the penultimate episode of season 3!
