Tread Perilously's look at modern Syfy and Fantasy continues with the Lost Girl episode "Sleeping Beauty School."
With Bo still missing, but everyone else's memories restored, Dyson and Hale search down a tip to her whereabouts. It leads to a beauty shop where the proprietor, Selene, keeps a tracker named Endymion under her thrall. Will an elemental played by Mia Kirshner help them spring him from Selene? And will anyone help Dyson figure out what became of Bo? Meanwhile, Kenzi babysits a reincarnated Tamsin. Will she be able to handle a Valkyrie who presents as a young girl? And will she be ready for what occurs when Tam's aging accelerates?
Erik and Justin immediately admit to their crushes on Ksenia Solo. They also discuss improper uses of Mia Kirshner. The perils of "connective tissue" episodes in genre shows are explored. Is "filler" the better option? Erik thanks the stars who have helped delayed a Crow reboot. Endymion is never pronounced correctly. Croker the Merciless from Evil Alien Conquerors pops back into memory as a discussion of enjoyably bad movies occurs. The Death Train never fails to delight. Reed Birney does not appear and, in a moment that will stun Lost Girl fans, Justin finds the show "not gay enough."
