This is one of my favourite episodes of the third series.
Here we get to see a number of seeds planted that will bear delicious fruit later in the series.
Bo, Tamsin, Dyson.... A Slashfictioner's A-list threesome play well together and wait for the epic 80's music interlude to die for. They reveal a little more of each other than any of them planned and set the imaginative juices of the audience free...
But this is just one aspect of this heavily loaded episode.
Speaking of loaded, we get to see a Kenzi heavily loaded with power make an important decision in her life, whether to accept, by the power of a Fae charm, a super heroic power or stay as herself, human.
Finally, and in my opinion the lynchpin of this excellent episode, we get to see a hamstrung Vex who takes stage front and centre with his most meaningful outing to date. He, like his new buddy Kenzi has some difficult decisions ahead, and given his new perspective, he becomes a far deeper and more circumspect character than we had given him credit.
Kenzi and Vex have surprising chemistry on screen and have a lot to bounce off each other. (I'm no doubt sure Vex could manage a double entendre here.)
Ultimately, though, for me, it's a little disheartening to see Vex, such a promising, polarising and colourful character bow out with his tail between his legs.
Let's hope he comes back, later in the season/series.... Surely he's far too good a character to write off for... er... good.
