Haven S4E3 - "Bad Blood" Recap

A city worker goes down into a sewer to work but is attacked by an unknown creature. Dwight calls Vince and Dave in to go to New Hampshire to identify a body that may or may not be Audrey's. Lexie is still holding William at gunpoint, trying to get answers out of him. Now she wants answers, but William then says she's not ready. She escorts him to the door and kicks him out. But when she's behind the bar and turns back around, William is sitting there again with a beer.

Dwight and Nathan head to the sewer where the body of the city worker has been completely drained of blood. However, there's no obvious puncture wounds that they can find. It's then that Dwight gets a call about a second body.

Jennifer is staying in Audrey's old apartment at the Grey Gull. Duke is having nightmares and Audrey can't sleep well since Wade won't stop partying late. As Jennifer prepares to cut another orange, she nicks her finger with the knife. Duke jumps back to avoid being near the blood because of his Trouble. Duke then tries to get Wade to go back to the city but Wade doesn't want to return to his old life.

The second body was found near an open manhole but the victim is a postal worker. Nathan's somewhat considering a vampire-like theory. The manhole is connected to the same line in which the first body was found. A third body is found in a house along the route of the same sewer line. Outside, Dwight and Jordan spot a life-like pool of blood travel back into a sewer outlet.

Lexie asks William how he got back into the bar and he responds that the bar isn't real. Jennifer wakes up from a nap hearing sounds from a party. But when she goes downstairs, there is no party. The only person in there is Duke and Jennifer begins to wonder again if she really is crazy. Nathan, Dwight and Jordan discuss the blood monster and Nathan theorises that it must have begun at the end of town. Jordan says that Mike Gallagher lives there; Mike is a worker that Nathan met that morning who had given him a hard time and also had a bandage on his hand.

Lexie isn't feeling well so she leaves to go home and hopefully feel better. William watches her leave but then she immediately comes back in. The barmaid, Rhonda, bids her good morning but Lexie knows that she had just left.

At Mike Gallagher's, they learn that his wife has just died - the likely trigger for the Trouble. Dwight gets a call about a worker having just spotted a "red monster." In tracking the blood's movements, they realise that it is headed for the police station. Duke brings Jennifer to the station to talk to Nathan about what she is hearing. The blood is there and kills an officer before going after Duke and Jennifer. They locks themselves in Nathan's office and Jennifer starts hearing voices again. A few drops of blood get on Duke's hand and the blood retreats. The blood triggers his Trouble and his eyes flash silver. He's able to recover as Dwight, Nathan and Jordan arrive with Mike Gallagher. Jordan tells Jennifer that Duke is an "evil sponge" for Trouble blood. The blood comes on the attack again and is headed for Nathan. Dwight uses his taser and it momentarily stuns it before is comes after Nathan again. Mike says that he cut himself yesterday and tried to be careful, but some of his blood must have made it down the drain. He doesn't want Nathan dead but doesn't know how to stop it. Jordan touches the blood with her bare hands and it stops it only temporarily like what happened with the taser.

Vince and Dave are at the New Hampshire morgue and Vince is struggling to go in and see the body. Dave tells him they have to go in and do what Dwight asked. Vince realises this is what Nathan must have felt when watching Audrey go into the barn. Back at the bar, Lexie asks William if she's dead.

There's no theories left for how to deal with the blood so Duke decides to absorb it, even though Nathan is worried it could kill him. While under the influence, he nearly strangles Dwight but Nathan is able to talk him down. The rest of the group goes searching to make sure there is no remaining blood, while Jennifer stays to talk to him, now understanding his reaction to her cut. He reveals to her that it doesn't hurt, but actually feels "heroine-amazing." After seeing what this Trouble did to his father, grandfather, and the rest of his family, he wants Wade gone before he ends up with the same Trouble and has his life ruined, too. Jordan has a quiet moment with Nathan, saying she can't live like this anymore with her Trouble and that he has to do what he promised and end the Troubles.

Dave and Vince first check the body's left foot and find there is no scar - Audrey had a distinctive scar on it. They then check the face and again confirm that the body is not Audrey's. William tells Lexie that she's very much alive and Jennifer hears him say that. Jennifer then hears Lexie say that none of the people are real. When Lexie accepts that none of the people are real, they all disappear.

Vince and Dave return to the station to deliver the news. Vince tells Dave that Nathan is their only chance. At the Grey Gull, Duke apologises to Dwight for nearly crushing his windpipe. Wade overhears Dwight talking about Duke being a hero and Dwight leaves, knowing that he doesn't know about the Trouble. Jennifer interrupts and tells Duke to call Nathan. When Nathan arrives, Jennifer tells him that Audrey was talking about a place that wasn't real and Duke realises that she must still be in the barn. Even though Nathan saw the barn implode, Duke points out that time moves differently in the barn. William tells Lexie that the bar is the barn, it's dying, and if they don't hurry, it will take her with it.

Haven airs on Fridays on Syfy at 10PM.
