The Count holds a hunt ball to find a new wife and Van Helsing uses it as an opportunity to infiltrate the castle. Jonathan finds out that vampires really do exist and Vlad has to pull out all the stops to save the Count from Van Helsing. The Branaghs are invited to the ball – not as guests but as the hunt victims. The Count finally discovers that there is a slayer in town and the series ends with a showdown between the Count and Van Helsing.

Vlad wants peace between vampires and slayers, but no-one else agrees with him. The Count kidnaps Jonno to lure the slayer in, but Van Helsing has had the same idea and kidnapped Vlad and Ingrid.

The Count is looking forward to a visit from his brother and his family, but is shocked to discover that Ivan the Bloodthirsty is now living blood-free and calling himself Harvey. Meanwhile, Vlad meets his weedy 15-year-old cousin Boris, who is about to undergo the "vampire transformation".
