40	13	"All for One: Part 2"	12 December 2011 (2011-12-12)
Ryan follows him and learns that slayer's blood creates text in the book and steals the book for Ingrid. Vlad senses Erin is in danger and when he gets to her she tells him about Bertrand, Ryan and the book. Renfield is kidnapped by Ingrid's posse but his blood does not open the book, and it transpires that only a slayer's blood can do that. Vlad takes control and commands the book to him, but Erin offers drops of her blood and the last page is filled. Sethius is released from the book, claiming that he is the Chosen One. He declares war on all breathers and enlists the help of Bertrand and Ingrid. However, Vlad decides that he doesn't believe in Sethius's way of dealing with things; by getting the Count's aid, offering Ingrid "the status she's always craved" and warning Bertrand he would surely be killed if he served Sethius, Vlad gets them on his side and they manage to turn Sethius into a pile of ash. As Vlad is talking to his family and the slayers, Bertrand takes some of Sethius' ashes and puts them in his pocket. Vlad also gets the slayers on his side by proposing a treaty of sorts stating that vampires will no longer feed off Breathers in return for no more slaying, to which Jonathan and Mina agree and the Count replies, "No fun!" Note: Last appearance of Zoltan.

Vlad and his gang have 48 hours to ensure that all Vampires are off the street and are prepared to abide by peaceful co-existence between the Vampires and the Slayers. There are plenty of people who are hoping and plotting for Vlad's initiative to fail, not least the Count who is secretively in cahoots with Vampire High Council Member, Ramanga and High Council wannabe Ingrid, to bring the peaceful co-existence to its knees, when he's not fantasizing about his beloved Miss McCauley.

43	3	"Storm in a Blood Cup"	12 November 2012 (2012-11-12)

She will give spy on Vlad and Erin in return for Ramanga's support in her bid to be the first woman on the High Council. Vlad is under duress not just because he has to find a way out of his forthcoming marriage to Adze but also because finding enough blood to supply his SCRAP vampires is not as easy he and Jonno initially thought. Meanwhile, The Count has agreed to Ms McCauley's suggestion that they elect a member of the SCRAPs onto Garside school's senate. When the reluctant Ryan wins, instead of Malik it begins to look like it was a fit up - this escalates to downright suspicion when Ryan collapses and dies after being crowned with Mortar board.

The problem is everyone has a motive, but he begins to suspect that someone as yet unknown has them running round in circles, especially when his proof miraculously disappears. Vlad is impatient and wants hard proof. Erin is becoming increasingly isolated and worried that rather than letting Vlad get on with his peaceful co-existence initiative he is being distracted and made vulnerable by her presence.

Bertrand is convinced that the Shapeshifter is linked to Malik. In retaliation the Shapeshifter creates chaos by manipulating the Dracula clan: first she engineers a near death situation for the Count and Malik in the hope that it will provide the impetus to bond as father and son. Then she impersonates Bertrand and invites Adze and Mina to Garside, where their meeting degenerates into a confrontation. The peaceful coexistence is teetering on a knife edge and Vlad has never felt so alone. Note: Last appearance of Adze and Bertrand Du Fortunesa.

As bait for Elisabeta, they capture and torture Malik to force her to show herself, banking on the fact that even the most twisted of mothers still care about their young. Note: Last appearance of Erin Noble, Barry "Wolfie" Westerna, first and only appearance in an illusion of Arta Dracula.
