The plane full of dead have been transformed into something different. Abraham knows what is behind this plague that will sweep through the populace and destroy it all. Ephraim is on the right track thanks to Abraham, but he is actions may not be enough to stop anything.

The frail Mr Fitzwilliam’s plan is slowly unfolding, could it be that this shell of a man is the mastermind behind the planet’s downfall? He's a little fragile to be a Renfield, but he's definitely had his hand in this cookie jar.

Ephraim’s ex wife’s is trying to cut him some slack, but the new husband thinks Ephraim is playing the sympathy card, not realizing that a stable home is no longer an option.I mean seriously, has he not seen the news in the last few hours? Danger is closer than any of them could ever imagine. Ephraim’s banging his head against a wall looking for answers that aren’t coming fast enough.

Gabe is out of control, and not even his manager will be able to reign him in.

Poop, that is the answer so far, and like all the others only leads to more questions. Ephraim finally learns that all the survivors have been released, except one, and he’s missing. He’s likely just as peachy as the rest of the survivor’s have been. Nothing a good staking and burning won’t fix I’m sure.

Abraham comes face to face with Gusto, but locked in a cell with a bitten Felix is likely to be the last place either of these guys want to be in a few hours.

Hogan and Del Toro have flawlessly delivered their twist on the classic vampire tale flawlessly so far. Seriously I have nothing to complain about. Between their wildly perversions of the mythos, to Huddleston’s increasingly blood soaked canvas, this story is showing no signs of slowing down. The action isn’t continuous, but  the heightened levels of panic are.  This series is only getting better, and missing out on it is a travesty.
