Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Mouth
Aidan Waite has gone a long time without clean blood and it is beginning to have an adverse effect on his psyche. He suffers from nightmares where he is haunted by Beth and Holly - two humans he was forced to kill some time ago when he was attempting to help Henry. The doorbell rings and Aidan answers it. It is Kat Neely, a friend of Nora's who is subletting her apartment. She hands Aidan a check for the rent, but the starving vampire acts flighty and quickly ducks back inside the house.

Come evening, Aidan starts the night shift at the hospital. He checks in on Kenny who is in an isolation room. The images of Beth and Holly continue to haunt Aidan. Kenny is enjoying some classic horror movies and wants Aidan to join him, but he has too much on his plate, including taking an unscheduled blood sample from Kenny for "bacterial cultures".

After his shift ends, Aidan (having consumed a phial of Kenny's blood) begins walking home. A group of purebred werewolves jump him. Aidan is feeling strong now, and easily dispatches them. In the shadows, Liam watches them with a small measure of surprise.

The next morning, Nurse Kerwin comes in to take a blood sample from Kenny. He doesn't understand why there's another test so soon. "What's up with the double-dipping", he says. When Aidan comes back on for his shift, Kenny begins acting very inquisitive. He wants to take Aidan's picture and has him stand before the open window, and after that, in front of a mirror. Aidan fears that Kenny may suspect the truth about him. The next night, he asks Aidan outright if he is a vampire. Aidan tries to laugh it off, insinuating that all of Kenny's late night horror movie viewing is igniting his imagination.

Aidan succumbs to another delusion in which he has a confrontation with the floor nurse, Kerwin. Kerwin knows that he is stealing blood from Kenny and threatens to report him. Aidan snaps her neck then drinks her blood while the images of Beth and Holly look on and laugh. Aidan snaps out if it, but the stress makes him reveal his vampire features. Kenny sees it all and now realizes that he was right all along about Aidan.

At the Suffolk County Hospital, Nora introduces Liam McLean to Josh, explaining that he is Connor and Brynn's father. Liam asks Josh about two checks that Connor had made out to him. Josh explains that it was for research into controlling the lycanthropy condition that he previously suffered from. He wanted to cure the transformation into a werewolf whereas Connor and Brynn wanted to prolong it.

Liam approaches them outside the brownstone the following day. He explains that werewolves are making a strong move against the vampire population, taking advantage of the recent virus to wipe them all out. He notes that he spotted Aidan, who is remarkably healthy and well-fed. He addresses Nora directly and tells her to kill Aidan. If she fails in this, then he will have to take care of them. When they have a moment in private, Josh expresses his shock over the very notion of killing his best friend. His surprise only increases when he notices Nora's hesitation - as if she is actually considering Liam's request. She tells Josh how terrified she is of Liam. Josh is disgusted by Nora's attitude at the very thought of killing Aidan and leaves.

Josh goes to Liam's apartment armed with a gun. He warns him that neither he nor Nora are going to kill Aidan. He tells him that Aidan has been informed of his plans and that is not a man to be underestimated. Liam counters with his own warning; that Josh should leave... now.

In an unexpected turn of events, Liam shows an act of good will by bringing Erin Shepherd (who had gone missing) back to the brownstone. He tells Josh and Nora that he found her squatting with some unsavory types who tried to steal his car. He further tells Josh that it was very stupid of him to come after him with a gun, but also very brave. Josh doesn't know what to make of him.

Sally begins her first day working at the funeral home. Her boss Max is nice, but somewhat anxiety-ridden. While showing Sally how he massages a corpse, the ghost of the decedent rises and begins talking to Sally. He follows her into a back room, but Sally has no patience for ghosts at this time and disperses him with a tire iron.

After work, she tells Max that her friends Zoe and Nick are coming over to her place, and she doesn't want to feel like a third wheel. She invites Max to be her date for the evening and Max agrees. After he leave the room, the ghost of Max's mother, Linda, appears before Sally. She is very protective of her son and wants Sally to be careful around him. Sally feigns politeness, but the woman's presence makes her feel uncomfortable.

That night, Sally, Max, Zoe and Nick are all having a good time over food and glasses of wine. Linda materializes and makes a couple of rude remarks, which are overheard by all except for Max. Sally gestures for Linda to follow her into the kitchen where she demands an explanation. Linda tells her that she goes on all of Max's dates with him. Sally wants to have a nice, private evening with her friends. Linda gets the hint and "whooshes" away. As the night draws to a close, Sally leans in to give Max a kiss, but he nervously recoils, unsure of how to act. He hurriedly leaves the house.

The next day back at the funeral home, Max apologizes for failing to kiss her. It is clear that he is a very socially inept individual. He wants to give things another go. Sally leans in again and they begin kissing. Their passion ignites further and they wind up having sex in the viewing room. Immediately afterward, Max feels guilty and embarrassed for having sex at his place of business. He quickly dresses and goes back to his office. Linda's ghost appears again and admonishes Sally, calling her a slut. She warns her to stay away from her son.

Linda is not finished with Sally by a long shot. She takes possession of her and has a talk with Max. She tells him that she is quitting her job and that she can do better - referring to both the job and him. Later, when Sally awakens in her bed, Linda tells her what she did. Sally remembers nothing of what happened while she was possessed.

The next day, Sally goes to Zoe to vent her frustration over Linda's interference. Zoe gives her a soul lock - which is an oriental medallion that guards the body against invading spirits. Armed with this new defense, Sally goes to confront Linda. She lays down a salt barrier in the viewing room at the funeral home and waits for Linda to show. The ghost appears and tries to possess Sally, but is repulsed by the soul lock. Sally begins a ritual of exorcism, but Linda breaks down crying, claiming that she is only looking to protect her son. Sally decides to find Max and makes things right between them.

What's Blood Got to Do With It?
Sally has Max over at the house and he cooks her French toast. Their romantic interlude is made slightly awkward with the presence of Josh and Aidan. Aidan winges about how long Erin has been in the shower. Erin eventually comes downstairs, takes Aidan's food then sprays whipped cream directly into her mouth. Afterward, she tells them that the drain in in the shower is clogged up.

The doorbell rings and Sally nearly answers it before realizing that it is her brother, Robbie. Sally begins to panic and Josh and Aidan intercept him. Robbie tells them that his father has made him the landlord of the house and that he felt it was only proper to introduce himself. Sally listens behind the door, but she is terrified that any chance encounter with her brother might result in his death. Robbie tells them that he will return later to fix up some of the things in the house.

Aidan goes to work and makes excuses for his absence the last few days. Kenny gets right to the point and asks Aidan about being a vampire. Aidan scoffs and continues to act as if Kenny is just imagining things, but the boy knows the truth. He realizes that Kenny is not going to let this go.

Josh tries fixing things up around the house in the hopes that it will limit the amount of time that Robbie might be hanging out at should he return. He hears a noise in the basement and finds Erin skulking about. Erin is pondering where she will go when the next full moon rises, and Josh tells her that he will get her a storage unit next to Nora's. Erin does not care for this at all and the two begin snapping at one another.

At the funeral home, Max presses Sally about her issue with her brother and realizes that she is holding on to several secrets. Moreover, he is bothered by the fact that she seems comfortable sharing her baggage with Aidan and Josh, but not with him. Sally asks him to be a little patient with her, insuring him that things will get better.

At the hospital, Kenny offers Aidan a sample of his blood. Aidan stops keeping up the pretense of being anything other than a vampire. The boy asks him how he came to be this way, and Aidan says he didn't have a choice. He reflects upon the time when he was a colonial soldier during the American revolution. He encountered another soldier and was horrified to discover that he was a vampire. This was James Bishop. Aidan tried fighting him, but could not overpower the stronger opponent. Bishop offered to turn him into a vampire, but Aidan turned him down. However, Aidan agreed to accept Bishop's offer if it insured the continued survival of his men. Aidan's first victim, was one of his own men - a young soldier named Benjamin.

While on her way home from work, Sally inadvertently runs into Robbie outside the house. Robbie is shocked to see her still alive, and Sally is lost for words. She backpedals away from him, repeatedly saying, "I love you". She tells Josh about what had happened, and they decide that they need to get some help from Donna Gilchrist to resolve this.

Sally and Josh go to the Miller Avenue Community Kitchen. Though it is late at night, Donna Gilchrist is still working. Sally asks her to reverse the curse that kills everyone she encounters from her past, but Donna tells her the spell is binding. Desperate, Sally picks up a knife, but Gilchrist uses her magic to send Sally and Josh flying against the wall. Donna eventually lets them down. She says there is one way to help her. She can conduct a spell that will lift the prohibitions behind her resurrection, but in exchange, Donna wants her soul. Sally agrees with the deal.

The next day, Sally meets her brother outside the house. Robbie is actually living out of his van. The notion that he is a landlord was a money scam. His father doesn't even know where he is. Robbie turns the conversation around, asking why Sally's still alive. She maintains the idea that she had faked her own death. Robbie says that he is leaving Boston to pursue some plan that he has going on in Florida. Sally gives him sixty dollars and a big hug.

At the hospital, Kenny asks Aidan to turn him into a vampire. Aidan does his level best to point out all of the reasons as to why that would be a terrible idea. He warns him that he would have to leave behind everyone he ever loved forever. Kenny retorts by saying that come next year when he turns eighteen, he is going to walk out of that hospital - even if it kills him.

Sally goes to back to work and has a heart to heart with Max. She apologizes for how elusive she's been of late, and promises that she fixed everything. Max is a little cold towards her, but accepts her apology, and even volunteers to take her to a discotheque (providing such an animal even exists anymore). Failing that however, he at least agrees to take her out to breakfast.

Meanwhile, Erin conspires with Liam McLean. Liam is determined to kill Aidan. At Liam's urging, Erin takes some of her own werewolf contaminated blood and mixes it with Aidan's food supply. When Aidan returns home and takes a phial of blood out of the refrigerator, Erin secretly watches him drink it. Aidan begins to convulse uncontrollably and Erin pounces upon him, holding a sharpened wooden table leg above his heart.

For Those About to Rot
Josh Levinson meditates with Pete, but quickly grows frustrated, claiming that his "stupid wolf" hates him. Pete offers him a cookie.

Flashback: 18th century; Aidan Waite and his wife Susanna lament the loss of their child, who tragically dies in childbirth.

In the present, Aidan returns to the brownstone, clearly frustrated. Sally Malik takes note of this and tells him that he is "backed up" and needs to get laid. Aidan, slightly embarrassed, insists that he is not "backed up".

Sally suddenly gets a frantic call from Zoe Gonzales. She goes to see her and finds that she was forced to kill Nick Fenn after he attacked her and tried to eat her. Nick's ghost appears and forgives Zoe for killing him. He also warns her to stay away from Sally, cryptically stating that she will try to kill her as well. Nick's door appears and Sally notices an odd-looking sea shell upon it. Nick walks through his door into the light.

Sally calls Josh to help her dispose of Nick's remains. Josh is bothered by how "unremarkable" it has become to dispose of a body. Sally suddenly realizes that Stevie Atkins is still out there, and is likely unaware of the flesh-eating side-effect of being a reanimate. They decide that they need to find Stevie as quickly as possible before the hunger overtakes him.

Flashback: 18th century; Reverend Herring conducts mass at the local Corwich church. During his sermon, he publicly addresses Aidan and Susanna's recent tragedy and uses it as a rallying point for parishioners to reaffirm their faith. Aidan does not take kindly to having his personal torments used for personal gain.

In the present, Aidan goes on a second date with Kat Neely. Kat brings him to the rare books archive of a local library where she shows him an interesting book called Days on the Charles, written by Edmund Waite of Corwich, Massachusetts. Aidan tells Kat that Edmund was an ancestor of his (in truth, he was his father). Their discussion is interrupted by the appearance of Kat's ex-boyfriend, Jeff Westin and his new girlfriend Marissa. Jeff is several years older than Kat and the scene quickly becomes uncomfortable. After they leave, Kat mentions how she has a thing for older guys, which inwardly amuses Aidan given his own advanced age.

Sally and Josh go to Stevie Atkins house to warn his parents, but as it turns out, Stevie is home. He tells them that everything is great and that his parents are off at their lake house. The truth soon comes out however.

Meanwhile, Aidan and Kat go back to her place to finish their date. After several glasses of wine, Kat tells Aidan about her past with Jeff Westin. She tells him that they broke up because she wanted a family and Jeff already had two children from a previous marriage and didn't want any additional responsibility. Aidan tells Kat that he cannot have children. Their date concludes rather awkwardly, and Aidan thinks that it is time he should move on. At the last minute however, he decides to forego his misgivings and the two share an embrace.

Flashback: 18th century; Several weeks have passed and Reverend Herring comes to Aidan's house to inquire as to why Susanna and he has not been to church. Bristling with resentment, Aidan tells Herring how he did not appreciate him using their personal loss on his pulpit. Herring tells Aidan that God wanted their child to die and receives a bunch in the jaw in response. Aidan kicks him out of his home, barking at him to never return.

Back at Stevie's house, Josh goes into the kitchen and finds a severed arm in the bread bin. He confronts Stevie about it and the boy finally tells them the truth. Stevie couldn't resist returning home and his parents were overjoyed to see him. However, as per the curse forbidding contact with anyone from their breathing days, they died the following morning. The flesh-eating aspect of the curse quickly took control of him and he ate them. The arm in the bread bin however, actually belongs to a US postal worker who came to the house to drop off a package.

Stevie cannot live like this anymore and asks Josh to kill him. Sally hasn't given up hope, but Josh understands that this is the only way Stevie can find peace. He follows him out to the garage and puts the boy out of his misery. Stevie's ghost door appears before him, but Sally notices that it is the exact same door that appeared in front of Nick, complete with the strange little sea shell decoration. She suspects something is wrong and beckons for Stevie to wait, but it is too late. Stevie steps through the door.

Elsewhere, a group of vampires, having learned that werewolf blood is proof against the virus, track down Pete to his trailer. They break inside and attack him en masse, drinking him dry. Josh arrives and tries to help, but he is too late. Pete is dead and the vampires disappear.

Flashback: 18th century; Some time has passed and Aidan and Susanna make a second attempt to have a child. Aidan prays to God for his child to survive and his prayers are seemingly answered. Susanna gives birth to a healthy baby boy, whom they name Isaac.

Back in the present, Aidan awakens after having fallen asleep in a pile of garbage in an alleyway. He has recently fed, but seemingly has no memory of what he was doing. As he stumbles away, he fails to notice the body of Jeff Westin lying on the ground just around the corner.

If I Only Had Raw Brain
At the Suffolk County Hospital, Josh Levinson gets into a private argument with Aidan Waite. Josh is furious that Aidan's vampire brethren learned the truth about inoculating themselves with werewolf blood and as a result, Josh's mentor, Pete, is now dead. Aidan feels horrible and apologizes, but reminds Josh that he told the vampires that it was unnecessary to kill in order to get what they needed. Josh seems to care very little about that.

Leaving the uncomfortable conversation, Aidan goes to see the teenager Kenny in the isolation ward. Kenny tells Aidan that a match for a blood donor has been found, but that he doesn't want it. Aidan encourages him to accept the offer, but Kenny has no confidence in that it will even work. He suspects that Aidan is trying to back out of their deal to turn him into a vampire. To prove that he is one to keep his promises, Aidan breaks Kenny out of the hospital and takes him to the park. He smiles as he watches Kenny enjoying himself playing with a dog. Kenny asks him if he can have just one day as a normal human teenager before he becomes a "Lord of the Night". From some distance away, a mysterious hooded man watches them with great interest. Aidan brings Kenny back to the brownstone and introduces him to Josh and Nora. Both of them know of Kenny and are also aware that he is supposed to be kept in isolation. Aidan sends Kenny into the basement to put his stuff away, giving him time to explain to the others his decision to turn Kenny into a vampire. Josh feels that he is being completely irresponsible. In a surprising turn of support, Nora backs Aidan's decision, citing that if they have the ability to use their curse to do some good, then they should do it.

Meanwhile, the situation with Sally grows even more intense. She is literally wasting away and it is only a matter of days - perhaps even hours - before she succumbs to her rotting illness. Josh wants to put an end to this once and for all. Nora, Sally and he march down to the Miller Avenue Community Kitchen and Josh is prepared to shoot the witch responsible for Sally's condition, Donna Gilchrist. When they get to the site however, they are shocked to see that the entire building has disappeared. Hope seems lost and they all return home.

Nora talks to Josh privately in their room. She suggests that they should get married as soon as possible so that Sally can be there for the wedding.

Sally meanwhile, goes to the Howell & Holt Funeral Home to talk to Max. She reveals the truth to him about being a flesh-eater. In a mild bit of desperation, Sally asks if she could sample a little bit of the corpse of a woman named Miss Hanover. Max is offended by the notion, not so much because of the gruesomeness of the request, but that Sally would even for a moment think that he would be okay with it. "Watching the dead is my responsibility...", he tells her and he refuses to help. As tensions rise, they both admit that they are in love with one another.

Word spreads quickly about Josh and Nora's pending nuptials and Josh's younger sister, Emily, pops by the house to congratulate them. She announces that she is taking Josh out for a bachelor party and Nora thinks it's a great idea. Aidan and Kenny agree to go as well. Kenny is particularly excited when he learns they are going to a strip club. Josh however, is exceedingly uncomfortable with the idea.

Emily and the three males go to the strip club. Kenny is having the time of his life, but Josh is absolutely miserable. Kenny almost blurts out to Emily about becoming a vampire very soon, but Aidan reels him in. One of the strippers - a woman named Sadie is an old girlfriend of Emily's and she flags the stripper off the stage and pays her to give Josh a lap dance. Aidan takes note of the fact of a strange hooded man watching them from the corner of the room.

Back at the house, Sally locks herself in her room for fear that her hunger for human flesh may overwhelm her. Nora knocks on her door and asks Sally to be her maid of honor. As part of a small two-girl bachelorette party, Nora cracks open some wine coolers and penis straws.

At the strip club, Sadie brings Josh into a private booth where she begins grinding on him. Josh is nervous and uncomfortable and tries to do everything he can to escape from this embarrassing situation. His plight becomes dangerous however when Sadie reveals that she is a vampire and lunges at Josh prepared to drink his blood. Aidan appears just in time to drive a stake through Sadie's back, reducing her to dust. Unfortunately, Emily witnesses the entire thing and runs from the club in a panic. Josh follows Emily outside the club and she exclaims that she just saw Aidan murder someone right before her eyes. Josh reveals the truth that Aidan is a vampire and that Nora and he are both werewolves. Although Emily heard about Josh's werewolf obsession in the past, she never truly put any stock into it until now. She has absolutely no capacity to deal with this revelation at this time.

Aidan returns home with Kenny and tells him that it will soon be time to turn him into a vampire. Kenny is nervous, but Aidan promises that he will keep him safe.

Sally calls Aidan up to her room for a special request. The hunger is overwhelming her and she is on the edge. She wants Aidan to end her life for her. Aidan is not ready to give up hope however and comes up with a temporary solution. He allows Sally to eat a small bit of his flesh. She doesn't want to, but he insists, reminding her that he will heal. Sally chomps down on the side of his stomach and groans that it is like biting into a car tire. Aidan steels himself against the pain.

With her craving for flesh temporarily sated, Sally goes off to find the psychic Ilana Myers. She wants Ilana to help her find Donna. She tells her about the two ghost doors that appeared before Nick and Stevie and Ilana concurs that no two ghost doors can ever be the same. These doors are leading somewhere else. She gives Sally a book written in Latin and hopes that it might give her some insight into how to defeat Donna. After Sally leaves, Ilana hears a noise coming from downstairs. Suddenly, the formerly deceased werewolf Ray appears, demanding to know what exactly she told Sally. Ilana tries to exorcise him, but Ray snaps her neck.

Meanwhile, Aidan stumbles through an alley near the brownstone, still recovering from the bite wound that Sally gave him. The hooded man from the park and the club accosts him. He reveals himself to be Jeff Westin - the ex-boyfriend of Aidan's current girlfriend, Kat Neely. He is a vampire, but appears horribly disfigured. He attacks Aidan, demanding to know why he did this to him. Aidan has no choice but to fight back, staking him through the stomach and turning him to dust.
