Eureka: Fargo! You know your girlfriend is stuck in a virtual space which limits her lifespan to days or weeks. And you don't call in your super-hacker for help right away? Zane already knows about her existence and location, and basically everything he needs if he has bad intentions, and you waste time deciding whether to *trust* him with the info he needs to help? Also, Fargo, do you really think you not share the info with Holly about how much danger she is in? Maybe she can contribute to the solution. At the very least, she may have different ideas than you do about how to spend what may be her last few days of existence .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, this last Eureka episode really made me dislike Allison. Initially I was cold towards her, and then came round on her and the ship, but I don't know if her flash epiphany at the end of this ep has fixed everything yet.
And I do hate the shortcut of introducing an annual event that's a total big deal, but somehow it didn't come up in any of the previous seasons *and* at least one of the residents needs to be brought up to speed on it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Her cold feet were really bizarre. The underwater wedding was really sweet, though, so I'm going to write off the parts I didn't like as the aberration.
You are right about the annual event, though. Can the it's-a-newish-timeline explanation cover it?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
By about halfway through the episode I was wondering if Carter might not be better off without her. The escalating hostility, lack of patience, and reluctance to let her family know about the wedding all seemed to come out of nowhere and really dispelled a lot of their appeal as a couple. And those issues don't seem like the sort Allison can just get over like her previous immature jealousy concerning Jo—they strike me as more warning flags that the marriage isn't a good idea rather than stumbling blocks that can be fixed with the application of a bit of common sense.

I was expecting a reveal of some kind of strife-causing maguffin for a while there, to tell the truth.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All I could rationalize there was that Feynman Day didn't exist in the previous timeline. Except then why does Allison know about it?
And no, I did not like the sudden cold feet followed by magical revelation and insta-wedding.

Maybe there is mind altering going on. Unfortunately I bet it is just character yielding to plot.
BTW, the B plot in the latest Lost Girl was totally "The Bosses Wife" from Pulp Fiction.

Well, as is, it looks a bit strange in ways I wasn't expecting, but i continue to wish Colin had got it over Jerry O'Connell.

Allison and Jo were both incredibly irritating. On the other hand, Piranhaconda!
