There'll be more detail in the OCD, but the basic shape is this:

As You Were: Duke and Octavia head back to Haven for Audrey's surprise birthday party (braced for troubles). They head out to a remote island off the coast where everyone's gathered at an old, closed down hotel. The proprietor turns out to be a shapeshifter that kills the people it turns into. Everyone wonders who the baddie really is. The ME dies, Lucifer sends up a demon to possess her body and yell at Duke for dragging Octavia back into his world's bullshit. Audrey is revealed to be the shapeshifter, but didn't die because She's Different. They all go back to the mainland, where Duke reveals that he's the kid in the Colorado Kid murder picture, and Audrey emotionally blackmails him into sticking around longer to answer some questions.

The Hand You're Dealt: Duke and Audrey hunt down and question a couple of the other people in the Colorado Kid photo. Meanwhile, Nathan and Audrey try to track down someone with a fire trouble. Duke's old babysitter turns out to have death visions when she touches people, and after getting blown up by the fire trouble, tells Duke how he's going to die right before she dies herself.

The Trial of Audrey Parker: Audrey talks Duke into hosting a poker game before leaving. Two of the other guests hijack the boat to try and get something Duke's smuggling for a client. Honestly there are a lot of holes in this thanks to the way things are shaping up with Fandom in the mix. Why would Octavia let Duke stick around when now they KNOW someone in Haven is going to kill him? Octavia isn't a good replacement for Julia, Julia's a ninny. Octavia would just beat the shit out of the baddies for being mean to Duke. And getting the boat cracked delays them too much in going back to Fandom. Maybe we should skip this one. It doesn't really add much to Duke's character development that hasn't kinda been covered by Fandom anyway.

Duke turned the radio over in his hands, studying it. "Looks a little busted up, probably why it's up here. But I bet I can fix it up. I've worked with worse on the Rouge."

"And I can -- punch anyone who tries to interfere with that," Octavia said, with a quick look around the room as if it was about to offer her a second option for something to do.

Did her sigh sound a little frustrated? It was only because she was!

Duke looked around as well, hearing that frustration loud and clear.

"I mean. I'm not going to say no to someone watching my back when there's a killer shapeshifter running around," he said. "Maybe we can find you some more weapons up here?"

Now Octavia's next glance was a little more targeted at the entrance into the attic, as she reached behind her back.

And brought out another knife, with a dry rasp of, "Think this'll do?"

Duke laughed and nodded. "I knew you had a back up somewhere."

It was funny because he was 90% sure she was the real Octavia.

Well, at least he wasn't attributing any off behavior on her part to her being the chameleon.

"They didn't ask," Octavia replied, shrugging, as she returned the knife back to its hidden sheath. "Guess that makes me a bad guy."

Wasn't that what Audrey had said, about giving up her second gun unprompted?

"Pretty sure it just makes you smart. And not alone." He opened up a toolbox he'd found, looking over the contents. "Besides." He gave a few test jabs with a screwdriver. "People can make a weapon out of almost anything."

"I don't consider myself unarmed when I'm not carrying any weapons," Octavia agreed. Sort of. "Still, having one is better."

"Very wise," Duke said, and flicked her a little smile. He wasn't sure just how thin the ice was for him in this relationship right now, but he knew it wasn't exactly super stable.

Hadn't been since LA. For very good reason.

"Alright. Let's get this stuff back downstairs, see if they found a boat. Maybe we won't need all this at all."

He didn't have high hopes there, no.

"We will," Octavia drawled, because she couldn't help herself.

Then she turned to go.

"You're such an optimist," Duke said, picking up the radio and the tool box and heading after her. "It's inspiring."
