Opportunity Wasted
Almost 18 months ago, I wrote a post about episode 2x15 (Table for Fae):
In episode 2x15 Bo and Kenzi go on a double date with their boyfriends, Ryan and Nate. Nate is a musician, and he and Kenzi have just returned from his tour. Due to the case she is working Bo and Ryan have to leave lunch early, but Ryan tells Nate he used his connections to set up a meeting with an agent. This agent turns out to be Evony.The show ran for 3 more years after this episode, and they never squeezed this in. Like I wrote back then, I thought this deal with the Morrigan had a lot of potential for an intriguing storyline. I think it was a major opportunity that was badly wasted. It still would have been wasted, but you think they could have mentioned it in the last few episodes anyway, just to wrap it up.
Evony can make you rich, but eventually it will cost of your life (her clients are unaware of this). Nate is excited, as he is unaware of the Fae at all, but Kenzi is horrified. After getting Nate out of the room, Kenzi trys to get Evony to leave Nate alone. Evony, in turn, offers Kenzi a bargain. I won't let Nate sign with me, but you'll owe me a favor that I can cash in at anytime. To finish the story Nate is upset that he didn't get to sign with the hot shot agent, and Kenzi is simultaneously worried that she made a deal with the devil and guilty over destroying her boyfriends confidence.
The Morrigan has yet to cash in on this favor, and I really hope that the producers haven't forgotten about this plot line. It excited me then, and I hoped that they would use it effectively. It has never been mentioned since, and I hope it is soon.
I liked the finale itself but, in my opinion, this is a specific example of the poor writing that plagued the show in its last couple years. share
