    Maybe the creepiest of all of the episodes, but still a great one. The end scene where Beth confronts Mick is one the best Mick/Beth scenes of the series, in my opinion. You also get to see a little more acting range of both Alex O'Loughlin and Sophia Myles in that scene when they both get really emotional - Alex even looks about to cry! I love this episode because of parts like that - my husband loves it because we get to see more of Mick's bad-ass side. Then again, I have to admit I love it when he swoops in at the last possible second and saves her - yet again:)

    Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing when Beth finds her file in Mick's office???moreless

    this episodes was really freaky and scary. a young gril that is younger than beth is being protected by beth because she believes that her killer was coming after her even though he was sentence to death. beth asks mick for help because a killer tried to kill the young girl. mick was such a very nice guy he didn't mind helping beth at all. while mick allows beth and the young girl stay at his house to stay safe while he goes out and hunts shepered. beth goes into his office to just look around. she finds the case files and ends up finding her self. which i was very surpised that she didn't get mad at mick instead she kissed him and he walked away very upset.moreless

    This is yet another great episode. A little darker than most due to some of the characters. They were quite creepy, especially some of the followers. A fine plot once again brought Mick and Beth together in a convincing manner, in the form of an evil psycho killer turned vampire seeking revenge for his death sentence. The guy really sent chills down your spine in the scenes that he was stalking Audrey. A good use of flashbacks once again to set the scene, very well done.
    The fight scene at the end i thought was really well done. It was scary and action packed, which was really entertaining.
    The ending was really good for character development and i feel that by Beth confronting Mick about what happened all those years ago, it will bring them even closer together.
    Another great episode and if your a fan, one not to be missed.moreless

    A condemned man is turned by a Roman Catholic Priest into a vampire. He lives through his execution and escapes jail, hunting his enemies, a woman who saw her family slaughtered by him as a child and a movie producer who bought the rights of this despicable man's life to make a movie. Beth watches the woman while Mick tries to find the newly turned vamp. The most tearful part of the movie is the ending. Beth lets Mick know that she is aware that he saved her as a child. Mick is in tears! Beth tells him he had to kill a woman he cared about to save her but Mick says he might have done it anyway. Beth says, maybe he would have but that night he did it to save her. The very end made me cry and hungry for more.moreless

    It's another bad vampire that needs to be dealt with. Beth makes her feelings for Mick even more evident to the girl she is protecting from this bad vampire. She says she is having problems with her boyfriend. She has been distracted. You bet she has! Check it: With Mick! The girl and Beth end up at Mick's hiding while Mick goes Vampire hunting. Beth finds the file from where Mick rescued her. The bad vampire finds them and Mick cuts his head off. On the balcony there is a touching moment as Beth tells Mick she knows it was him who saved her. It was such a touching moment. It made me cry. She kisses his cheek. The sun is up and he walks away, leaving Beth alone on the balcony. Did he just dump her?moreless
