Lauren arrives to see Dyson weeping over the body, and when she runs a test that proves the body's Fae, he wraps her in a childlike hug. She reaches for Dyson's gun, and in his struggle to wrest it from her, he shoots her. He rejects her only to unleash her fury, and she bares rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Lauren and Trick are worried beyond belief when they learn that Bo's gone, but they usher the shaken Dyson home where the Kenzi doppleganger wastes no time in seducing Dyson in the most lurid way. Bo knows that had to have been Kenzi, but has no idea why she would've visited the ancient crone. The sisters say some human visited The Norn and loosed Inari's power on herself. Tamsin and Bo head to the sorority den where Tamsin had once been hired as security after Inari went cuckoo. What with The Norn's craftiness, the trade left Inari hopeless of ever getting what she wanted. And not just any kitsune, but Inari, a girl who traded her charm and grace to The Norn in hopes of winning a true friend. On the run, Tamsin explains to Bo that the strange behavior of "Kenzi" - attraction to shiny objects, munching on metal - betrays her as a kitsune, a Japanese, fox-like Fae. Dyson gets back earlier than expected, however, and Tamsin reveals her identity as a bare-skulled Valkyrie, her power of intimidation causing Dyson to doubt everything about himself. Ironically, Tamsin is the only one who thinks Bo's sane, and when Dyson escorts a weeping Kenzi to his apartment, she busts Bo out of lockdown and starts an investigation for the whereabouts of Kenzi. Lauren and Dyson don't believe Bo's Kenzi claims.
Without proof, however, and considering Bo's questionable feeding habits, Trick has her locked up for her own safety and that of those around her. Bo storms into the Dal with Kenzi as a captive, saying that it's not her friend, but a Fae impostor. After observing Kenzi's clingy behavior for some time, culminating in Kenzi eating peanut sauce (which Bo knows Kenzi is allergic to), Bo realizes something is afoot.
