I just re-watched the episode quickly. Sometimes I find the dialogue so quick, I miss things. (Maybe I should watch with subtitles on?)

Pros
--Dyson acting all jealous--the scene on the couch and being told to scootch(?sp) over--classic
--Hale and Kenzi's continuing friendship
--Kenzi and Bo's developing relationship
--Trick (Just love him, any scene, anytime)

Cons
--Lauren--just not getting her or her and Bo--I don't see the attraction or the chemistry--whereas Bo can't keep her hands off Dyson no matter what the scene
--special effects were a bit 'wanting', but hey, I know its a fairly low budget show
--dark fae connections? did I miss something? but I really want to see a Mer-man with psoriasis
--Dyson flip flopping--we need more info

A fun episode I thought.

Hale and Kenzi's friendship is getting stronger. Sidekicks gotta stick together lol. Hanging with the "Alpha's" has got to be tough to them.

I'm not a fan of spiders of any size, so the baddie being huge paranoia inducing one had me cringing.

Seeing Bo and Kenzi getting on each others nerves was funny. Bo complaining about the frying pan still being dirty and Kenzi telling Bo "At least I don't have man-feet" got me giggling.

Dyson telling Bo to go to Lauren next time she needs to heal was a bit of a shock. The Green-Eyes monster called jealousy rearing its head there. He REALLY doesn't like Lauren. What is up with that? There's definitely more to Dyson hating Lauren than jealousy.

What IS Lauren's agenda?? She calls the goon squad out on Bo to torch her place while she's still in it, then saves her by killing the mega-spider. It would not surprise me at all if later on we find out Lauren is really working for the Dark Fae as a spy or something like that.

Here's my thoughts. Not a bad ep...I like the dynamic between Hale and Kenzie. I thought Lauren was better in this episode, harder to predict, and therefore more interesting.

I didn't think Dyson flip flopped. I think it's pretty clear he's a one woman guy, despite what he says, and it's bothering him he can't control the situation.....his higher up (Trick) has told him to cool off. It strikes me that Dyson is not one to reveal his true feelings anyway. So I found it rang true when he walked away instead of telling Bo that he cared at the end. But, she's really not too quick if she didn't catch that or the fact that she's making him weak when she feeds and seriously upsetting both of her love interests by ping ponging between them.

I didn't like Bo much this ep or last. It seems that she is being written as not very intuitive or intelligent. The whole "science is nifty thing" made me frustrated. And the "fealty", not knowing that word, but I could let that slide, it's old. I would just like her to be strong and smart as a character. It would make her have more zing and her dialogue, comebacks/one liners have more believability.

I think Lauren is a bad girl...hmmm. I loved the scary smile she gave Bo at the end...creeeeeeppppyyyyy.
