thing lessen aside . Things fall asunder even faster if you ’re ahot - headed scientist bent on vengeance , a leader of an malevolent religious cult whose childrenhave been nobble , a man who ’s fiancé is in making love with your knob , a lesbian inthe 19th C , or even just a centuries - onetime lamia with dreamsof revenge and/or complimentary electricity .
Dracula has taken its time to ensure by “ Four Roses ” , thesecond - to - last installment of the first series ? First season ? that all its platesare spinning , unpredictably and as fast as they can . As such , it ’s tough to recapwith any kind of coherence , but let ’s give it a shot :
Dracula is quick to just fucking kill everybody . Hisresonator ’s been close down by the regime , he ’s oversupply London with vampireminions , he thinks the Order attacked Mina , and he ’s quick to say fuck the planand just make full the street with ancestry . Which he ’ll then drink .
Van Helsing has given up on the program AND Dracula , andconsiders their arrangement null . He ’s also kidnapped Browning ’s children , ofcourse , but he ca n’t crush their little heads in with Maxwell ’s Silver Hammer , as much as he require to hurt Browning .
Browning is quick to fucking down Grayson , whom he suspectsof having take his kids . He has the law hunting Carfax Manor with a mostlyillegal sanction , although Grayson allows it , having nothing to hide … in hishouse … at the instant . But Browning does get his self - controller back , and startsputting the Order ’s needs above his own again , which have in mind stopping Dracula .
Renfield is stressed because his captain has gone crazy , VanHelsing has left , and no one ’s listen to the very reasonable things he’ssaying about Grayson not having nobble Browning ’s kids , or that the Orderhad no reason to assault Mina .
Harker , revolt with himself for having sex with Lucy and also Mina for have it away Grayson , unite the Order whole - heartedly ; his first mission isto steal the blueprints for the free electrical energy “ resonant circuit , ” which he does .
Mina wakes up and discovers Grayson has been leaving herroses , but Harker has n’t been by to see her . Then Lucy stops by to basicallyannounce she ’s been have sex with her fiancé but she feel really bad aboutit ; Mina is not consoled .
That ’s a start . But thing rapidly kick back into in high spirits gear whenGrayson / Dracula stops by the local chapter of the Order of the Dragon withsome of his rowdy lamia Friend , and essentially announces lunch clip . It’sawesome , and , as Lady Jane annunciate when she later point Browning the carnage,“I consider this is what they call a resolution of war . ”
In revenge , Browning has the health department returnthe resonator to Grayson , which in turn will allow Grayson to hold his demonstrationagain . It ’s a clever ruse on Browning ’s part ; now that they have theblueprints , they can mess up the machine so seriously that no one will even try toinvent one again . As Browning so wondrously puts it , he does n’t need todestroy the machine , he want a goddamn catastrophe . This “ fortuitous ” event is enough to get Grayson and VanHelsing back on the squad together , and the new presentation is scheduled fornext week ’s episode — the time of year ( series ? ) finale .
Oh , one more matter : The sequence ends with Dracula visiting Mina one more time in thehospital . They talk , they natter , they laugh ; Dracula confesses his love for her , and tells her about Ilona ; Mina says she ’s dreamed of Ilona since she waslittle . But then Grayson he ca n’t be with her , not until he enacts his retaliation for … well , her , at least the past version of her . Besides , she ’s engaged to Harker . Minabitterly tells Grayson that ’s off , and explicate about Mina .
Dracula does not take this peculiar well . Unless you countsneaking into Lucy ’s bathroom , ripping receptive part of her pharynx and pledge herblood , tearing into his own manus and forcing her to drink in his blood , thusensuring she becomes a cursed lamia like him … “ well . ” I do n’t , but it was awing .
Assorted reflexion :
• The parallels between Dracula and Browning are obvious inthis instalment , but still marvelous . Both lease their personal vendettas get in theway of their broader plans , both refuse to see the the true , instead imaginingtheir personal enemies are responsible for everything . playfulness stuff .
• Poor , dumb Lucy . Next time , try not to get all youradvice about present-day sexual mores from random strangers , okay ?
• After fail to kill them , Van Helsing ship Browning aransom note for his children . I have no thought how this will come to play nextweek , if at all .
• I debate title this recapitulation “ Dracula open anall - you - can - drink blood - fet ” , but it plough out even I have just enough dignityto keep myself from sinking to those deepness . It was close , though .
• The panorama where Browning starts rambling about Graysonbeing Dracula , and Lady Jane has to halt him to recite him he ’s being insane is one of my favorite ’s of theseries . Because sure , the streets are inundate with lamia and an American business magnate has formulate free electricity , but the thought of avampire that can go out in the sunlight is just fucking farcical .
“ Lucy . ” “ What ? ” “ You ’re sit on my handwriting . ” Oh , Dracula . Never convert .
