Dracula slow down a lot this calendar week , and when I say slowed down , I mean there was a goddamn 1960s hippy drug political party freak - out aright in the middle of it . We learn more about the stock of this mad rendition of Dracula , it ’s hammer time for Van Helsing , and Grayson gets busted . That ’s tiresome for Dracula .
Let ’s get with Dracula ’s origin , much as the episode does . We begin in the 1600s , where Vlad Tepes is chain like a dog to a post and get the full Mel Gibson ’s Passion of the Christ treatment . Eventually , the Holy Order read up and 1 ) makes him fuddle some blood out of a goat skull and then 2 ) slits his throat . Dracula wakes up in a cell … because the Order of the Dragon has turned Dracula into a lamia . Apparently he betrayed them and/or renounced their god , and his punishment will be to live forever … and be punished forever . Of naturally , when Dracula wakes up , he disagree , break out and presumably starts fucking shit up for the Order straightaway .
This is echoed back in the present tense , where Laurent — who was forced to deal Grayson his ploughshare of British Imperial Coolant last episode — gets his punishment from the Order of the Dragon , when Patrick from Coupling shoves a steel very awkwardly in his chest ( variety of straight down over the the left knocker , which seems like it would hit every individual costa on the mode down , but whatever ) . Laurent ’s new male lover , also a member of the Order , has a sorry .
The other large development from last episode was that Mina and Harker broke up after Harker was an asshole who wanted her to give up her dreams of being a doc to play housewife for him . Both Mina and Harker have a sad ; Harker ignores his by have dejeuner with important people that Grayson wants him to know , including Laurent ’s lover ’s dad — okay , Davenport , we ’ll all need to remember that name later on — while Lucy decides to cheer Mina up by take her to what is somehow a 1960s dope political party but set in the eighties and also the drug is absinthe . gravely , the euphony is exactly the same . The completely bombed Mina runs afoul of an asshole who recall she ’s all high and mighty ( in addition to just being high , I opine ) because she does n’t fall for his shitty lines , but Grayson is there to deliver the day by throw out inghim violently across the room with one weapon system .
Turns out Dracula does not deal for this absence of Mina in his unlife , and has decided to represent relationship counselor . In the course of action of his normal stalking of Miss Mina , he tell her happiness is more important than “ the Bohemian night life , ” imply she should give Harker another chance . afterwards , he approaches Harker for much the same reason , effectively evidence him “ You ’re a lower middle - class male child that wants to arouse above the place that high society wants to interlock you into — are you really going to be a dick and traverse Mina the same matter you need ? ” Jonathan and Mina do make up and gets pursue , but not before Dracula has a drink with Xaro Xhaon Renfield and announces he ’s done a dainty matter and it feels decent . dame and valet de chambre , Dracula has give himself a tender fuzzy .
Lest you think NBC ’s Dracula has wholly misplace his fangs , do n’t fret — at the beginning of the instalment he ’s immediately sussed out that Lady Jane is a vampire hunter . As she sleeps after one of their trysts , he discovers her armory of many , many samurai swords ( hee hee ! ) and the caged vampire lady that was revealed last week . Dracula is super - goddamn - piddle at seeing his brethren in a John Cage , but he does n’t free her — yet . Whatever Dracula ’s plan is , it ’s clear Lady Jane is in for a humankind of hurt .
And a humanity of hurt is precisely what comes to the Seers . Lady Jane goes to Mina ’s dad , the manager of the local anitarium , to get some sort of drug to amplify the Seers ’ powers . Mina ’s dad endure to renowned genius Van Helsing for advice . Van Helsing goes to Dracula , and a plan is mould . When the Seers make out Dracula again — while he ’s macking on Lady Jane , who then starts watching them watch him — the Seers all of a sudden realise they ’ve been paralyzed , because their potion has been poison ( in some really bad acting , it must be enounce ) . Van Helsing move into their squalid room , where he announces that the toxicant leave a small trace in part of their Einstein , which would probably chuck suspicion on him for some grounds or another . the important part is that Van Helsing pulls out his Medical Hammer and beats their flaming skull in . It ’s amazing .
And we wrap it all up with Lord Davenport ’s son , still distraught over the red ink of his older devotee . He bluster his brains out , and his doting dad finds him dead — but he also happen a letter where the Word confesses all , admit how Grayson blackmailed Laurent , which run directly to Davenport Jr. ’s suicide . Lord Davenport recognise Grayson is responsible , and as the “ Next Episode On ” preview shows , soon the whole ordination of the Dragon will know it , too .
Yeah , ho-hum instalment .
Assorted Musings :
• So if the club turned Vlad into Dracula , and then Dracula escaped , he could at that head anguish the gild and create more vampire , which explains why the current Order lie with about both . That makes sense . I marvel how Dracula got in that casket , though .
• Van Helsing has managed a medicine that can reserve Dracula in the sunlight for three minutes and 12 seconds . Dracula is not impressed .
• Every fit without Dracula in it , you ’re expect for Dracula to come up back , but the show does well in keeping the non - Dracula scene move very tight .
• So I ’m 99 % certain the Order said Dracula renounced their god , and crosses clearly effect him . But the lodge is malign is shit . There ’s some really weird theology going here , and I really hope Dracula gets into it a petty .
• The next daybreak after their bacchanal , Lucy tenderly stroke Mina across her cheek with real longing in her eyes , but quickly pulls her hand back as Mina Wake . I think we ’re go to see how much lady friend - on - fille action NBC is well-to-do with airing at 10:00 pm on Friday night here in the near future tense .
