First Impressions: Follow the Yellow Trick Road

You're correct. I was thrown by the publicity picture with Bo and Tamsin, together, in a green field facing the horizon, and the "T" in Thomasina.

The biggest issue of timing for me is the fact that this episode takes place apparently many days after the events of the Family Portrait, where last we saw Bo she was pretty much catatonic, but they threw in a random fae of the week to explain her coma this week. I don't really understand the order of events. Did Dyson bring Bo home, get her in bed, get Lauren to bring her stuff to Bo's place and hook her up, then arrange a funeral, have the funeral, and *then* Bo got bit by the moth? So was she catatonic the entire time and then a random moth showed up and bit her, carried in by one of them from Trick's memorial? WTF!

How hard would it have been to make the fae of the week actually have a purpose besides to explain something that already happened? I mean, Hades is free. In a previous episode Freya was on the run because other fae thought she could lure him back to Tartarus, which means that other fae are not happy that he is free. Either because he's a threat to whatever they've got going, or just because he's hella scary and evil. The fae also know that Bo has been their champion before, and that she's in the middle of all of this. Since this dream that Bo walked through ended with her finally accepting that Trick was gone, the part where the Kenzi vision as the manifestation of the fae itself doesn't really fit. Because Kenzi is telling Bo how to defeat Hades. Or was trying to. She's trying to help Bo. Why not have that be on purpose? Demonstrate that finally Bo has other fae on her side besides her screwed up found family? And make the fae of the week not random?

Also, I found it amusing that Trick had such an updated will that only included our heroes. But that's par for the course on TV. Just cracks me up that he even included Vex. Or that he'd give Lauren his books. Regardless of how Trick's attitude towards humans might have changed, fae law is still pretty clear about the danger of their existence getting out and giving any human pretty much an index of every fae makes zero sense. They already put the books in play for Lauren to discover whatever she's bound to discover by having Vex and Mark have the presence of mind to bring them to Bo's. But handing them over to anyone not fae is completely counter to his responsibility as Ash, which is to protect all fae. Woulda been nice if he had a second ring like the one he gave Kenzi instead. Or some fae object that is also medicinal. But I guess he updated his will before Tamsin got pregnant because I don't think she's going to be much more wandering around and sleeping under the stars with a child to take care of. And I really do wonder if the compass that Vex got his an actual purpose and isn't just symbolic.
