While the importance of the dreams has been coming into sharper focus, how the Elder ultimately figures into the equation remains unclear.
Knowing that Scarlett is alive makes Vanessa somewhat expendable which explains how easily Abigail fires three bullets into Vanessa’s chest at episode’s end. While some of what Vanessa learns during her time at BlakTek may be true, Abigail and Harrison manage to glean some crucial facts from her that will influence the narrative moving forward. The ease with which she breaks into Harrison’s office to read his files and copy of Historia Vampyre should set off her internal alarms, but she takes it all in stride because Abigail has worked her motherly magic.Īre Vanessa’s abilities God-given, or are they the result of an accident as Abigail contends? Her account that Vanessa’s mother “accidentally infected herself with an experimental serum developed from the DNA of a very special vampire” seems plausible given what we learned about the sisters’ time at The Farm, however, it’s also possible that the Van Helsing blood coursing through their veins is the result of something that goes back long before the experiments of their youth. What should give Vanessa pause though, apparently does not. Taking the story into the genetic manipulation arena and combining it with traditional vampire lore makes Vanessa’s quest even more confusing, but it also gives Van Helsing room to grow. After that, however, it’s up to us to fill in the gaps about the events that led to his current obsession with extending his own life. We already know that vampires have been around for hundreds of years, so when Harrison tells Vanessa that the government hired him to find a cure for vampirism, there’s a ring of truth to that statement.

For the time being then, it’s up to each to decide how to proceed. As a narrative device, leaving the viewer as well as the character in the dark about certain details opens up new avenues for exploration. Once we learn that Abigail and Harrison have been running an elaborate con on Vanessa, it’s no longer clear how much they’ve disclosed is even true. Is the refuge near to the BlakTek complex, and if so, are the two aware of each other?įrom the start something just doesn’t ring true, and Vanessa approaches her strange surroundings with a healthy amount of skepticism, so it’s a bit troublesome that she lets her guard down so easily. That he’s attacked and killed by a vampire whose face bears a remarkable similarity to The Sisterhood only adds to the developing mystery. Are these markers, or does he merely find them in their final resting spots after their release from the purported safe haven? Regardless, we know that these messages are reaching their intended targets, though to be fair, the initiators likely hope for more than one person per balloon.
Another red balloon tease opens the episode as a man, already in possession of at least one balloon, comes upon another hanging in a tree.
