Being Human: It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To

"It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To" is the thirteenth episode of season two of the North American version of the supernatural drama series Being Human and the twenty-sixth episode of the series overall. It was directed by Adam Kane and written by Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke. It first aired on Syfy on Monday, April 9th, 2012 at 9:00 pm.

In this episode, Aidan resolves himself to kill Mother so that Suren and he can leave Boston without fear of reprisal. However, things take a tragic turn as he infiltrates Mother's inner council only to watch in horror as she slays her own daughter before his eyes. After an unsuccessful bid to kill Mother, Aidan is punished by being put to ground - presumably for all time. Meanwhile, Josh and Nora decide that they must kill Ray in order to free Josh of the werewolf curse. They enlist Sally's aid to bait Ray into a trap where the three of them have their final showdown. Meanwhile, Sally says a final goodbye to her Rena who steps through her door. Sally makes the ultimate sacrifice in the hopes of rescuing the lost souls from Limbo by shredding herself - disappearing into the ether.
