Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Then you're probably not one of the people she's trying to avoid.

Poor Jasika Nicole. I get her discomfort and I'm glad she did it in such a productive way. Fuck people who make it about them and not about the person they supposedly admire. She has a right to her discomfort and privacy.

I would much, much rather have a celebrity disengage politely with social media fans than have them stay involved in increasing discomfort out of some sense of obligation.

I'm kinda irritated that Saskia turned out not just to be chaotic neutral, but what seems to be evil. I feel like too many steps and coincidences are in place to keep Bo from finding out not just about her specific personal history, but also about what it means to live as a succubus. Can't you have a mystery about the former and make some progress on the latter? It seems a bit unlikely to me, that even though she's not swearing allegiance to light or dark, that she can't find any sort of information about how to live with what she is.
I'm okay with her wising up a bit.
Still love Kenzie to bits.
Weirded out by Dyson's possessiveness. It strikes me kind of like those people that start dating cops and then get upset they risk their lives every day.

Kenzi and the siren betting on when Bo and Dyson would next blow up was my favorite part of this ep.

That was pretty cool.
Interesting that the siren is a) male and b) not sexy. I can see that they wouldn't go with the traditionally sexy siren since the main character is a succubus, and that would be confusing and distracting, but what you're left with is a bit weird, powers wise.
And, lord, I wish Anna Silk were more sensual. There were times during this ep where I thought she should be just oozing it, and...nothing. Frustrating.

That Bo puts up with Dyson strikes me as evidence for my take, that emotionally she is stuck at the level of a not too mature high school student. And show has specifically said that an exclusive relationship with Dyson, at least one that provides Bo with the energy she needs for good health is bad for Dyson's health. To keep them both in good physical shape, she needs to see other people.
As to coincidence, maybe Saskia is not a coincidence but a plot point. The whole "say my name bitch" implies to me that she is at least a known force, which I suspect will end up with her being more than a powerful player who happened to run into Bo. Maybe it was no accident that she ran into Bo. Maybe she sought her out to try to and shape the direction Bo's life was taking for some reason. To take the speculation in an even more unsupported direction, maybe she keeps doing dark things that alienate Bo because she is trying to turn Bo to the dark side, and intended that from the beginning - just not getting the results she wanted, because she is not actually a great emotional manipulator when she can't use sex. I admit, not only unsupported, but kind of a stretch even for this show. But there do seem to be some hints (not evidence, just really faint hints) that this is what is going on.
