  • This was pretty much my favorite episode!

    I was really happy to see an episode focusing on my favorite character in the series, Josef. And finally seeing more of his non-playboy side was refreshing and made me love him even more.

    When there was the possibility that Josef was dead and gone in the begining, I was on the edge of my couch the whole time, begging for it not to be true. Luckily, that was the case, and Josef got to live another day. :)

    Hearing about Josef's past was great, and learing that he had really loved someone (Sarah), made me love him more than I already did (as I said above).

    Overall, I loved this episode a lot!moreless

    A Josef centered episode where Mick learns that there may be more to Josef's Peter Pan like behaviour than he ever imagined. The episode opens with Josef and a few vamp friends playing poker in his office when they are attacked by a hitman weilding firebombs one of the only sure ways to kill a vampire. During the course of the investigation of Josef's supposed "death" by firebomb Mick and Beth discover that an elderly man in NY has discovered Josef's secret and put out a hit on Josef becuase he is convinced that Josef was responsible for his daughter's disappearance 50 years before. Instead Josef reveals that he actually fell in love with the human girl Sara and tried to turn her, the attempt failed and Sara fell into an unaging coma and he has been taking care of her for 50 years!
    This episode was extremely interesting because it revealed the character of Josef to be much more than the millionaire playboy than first introduced and leaves alot of storylines open for this character.moreless

    In this episode we not only get a look at Josef's past and further development (although only a taste) with Coraline and how she became human, but a glimpse into what might become... love between a vampire and a mortal... We see that Josef's true love was a mortal woman who he tried to turn with devastating consequences, and we gain insight into a parallel love that exists between Mick and Beth as Beth reads from Sarah's diary.

    This episode portrays that age-old saying... love conquers all... if it is only given a chance. You can start to realize that the time spent with the ones you love, no matter how long or how short, is really what life is all about.moreless

    My show is back on track!!! While this episode allowed for a character's departure from his norm, this time it was done in such a way as to strengthen the character as a whole. Josef & Sara's story explained a lot about why Josef is so hesitant for Mick to get close to Beth. We got to see the heart and soul of a 400 year-old who usually hides behind a persona of sarcasm, conceit and indifference. Jason Dohring was amazing as always. He played out the emotions of this story very well. I was also moved by the way Mick & Beth handled Josef's death. You could just feel the emptiness that Mick felt. The story with Coraline was fascinating. Was the cure temporary? Or did her illness somehow reverse it? If the cure is temp., this will open a whole new dilemma for Mick. Do you take mortality (and all that comes with it) knowing you will have to sacrifice it all again? PS. I know that the Sara thing is scary...but Beth, NEVER turn down carefree, fun-loving Mick. One night in New York wouldn't have hurt and he deserves a chance to just be happy sometimes.moreless

    In this episode Josef narrowly escapes death when someone from his past hires a mercenary to fire bomb his office. Mick and Beth follow Josef to New York city to find out the truth behind what happened. What they discover is shocking... the man who wants Josef dead is the father of a woman that Josef tried to "turn" 50 years ago, Sarah. The turning went terribly wrong and Sarah has been in a coma ever since. The mercenary also finds Josef in New York and once again attempts to take him out, but Mick is there to save the day.

    This episode was great not only because we get to see more of Josef, but because we get to see his more emotional, vulnerable side. We also get to see another side of Mick when he finally puts his heart on his sleeve for Beth.

    This is my favorite episode so far.moreless

    • Josef likes AB- blood. Edit
    • In the 1950's, Josef went by the name Charles Fitzgerald and lived in New York. He still owns a home that is located at 301 Waverly Place. Edit
    • Towards the end of this episode, after Josef has drank the blood that had healed his stake wound, Beth hands Josef Sarah's diary. If you look at his chest where the shirt is open, you can see the stake wound is there again. It shouldn't be because the wound healed instantly as Josef buttoned his shirt. Edit
