Series Four (2012)

Episode Total Title Original air date
1 41 "The Good, The Bad and The Undead" 29 October 2012 (2012-10-29)

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. In a last ditch attempt to prove his plan can succeed, Vlad and Jonno arrange a Vampires vs Slayers football tournament. What can possibly go wrong?

First appearance of Malik Dracula
2 42 "Revamped" 5 November 2012 (2012-11-05)
Vlad's peace initiative hangs in the balance but with a lot of help from Jonno, Bertrand and Erin they manage to persuade all the lawless ferals, including the charismatic new boy Malik, and Ryan to turn up to SCRAP school at Garside. The school will help them wean off biting and onto a breather friendly alternative - soya blood. A victory as far as Vlad is concerned until the Count bowls a googly: To win favour with the High Council and the ancient vampire clans, Vlad must marry Adze, Ramanga's daughter.
3 43 "Storm in a Blood Cup" 12 November 2012 (2012-11-12)

Adze arrives at Garside and much to Erin's chagrin, she is beautiful. Vlad doesn't appear to notice, as he's too busy scheming on how he can get out of the arrangement. However, Ramanga and Adze are plotting to get rid of the only person who might put a spoke in the wheel - Erin. A direct assault would be too provocative so they plan a smear campaign centring on Ryan. It backfires and opportunes Vlad with a moment of reprise.

First appearance of Adze
4 44 "The Crown of Ludlaw Erant " 19 November 2012 (2012-11-19)

Malik is secretly meeting with a mystery being and his loyalty to the Draculas is not so clear cut. Ingrid strikes a deal with Ramanga. 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. And as if Vlad didn't have enough to worry about 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.

First appearance of Elisabetta and last appearance of Ryan
5 45 "Murderer in the Midst" 26 November 2012 (2012-11-26)
Bertrand is put in charge of finding Ryan's murderer. 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. She makes a decision to leave, as it is the only way for Vlad's vision for breather and biters to succeed. Vlad is torn.
6 46 "Bloodbound" 27 November 2012 (2012-11-27)
The day of the bloodbinding arrives. A reluctant and nervous Vlad prepares to stand by his word and marry Adze. Ramanga proposes to an astonished Ingrid but soon wishes he hasn't and Bertrand uncovers Ramanga's secret gift to Adze - Erin. Vlad and Bertrand rush to her aid but Adze uses the dark magic and Erin is fatally wounded.
7 47 "Do The Bite Thing" 3 December 2012 (2012-12-03)

Erin's life hangs in the balance and Vlad keeps a vigil at her bedside. Despite everyone's advice Vlad bites Erin as a means of stopping her dying. Will she be grateful for her eternal life? The Count and Malik seek revenge on Ramanga for threatening Vlad and trying to overturn the House of Dracula. Malik reveals to the Count that he is his son.

Last appearance of Ramanga
8 48 "Loyalty's for Breathers" 4 December 2012 (2012-12-04)
The Count decides to challenge his sons to fight for their position as his rightful heir. Reluctantly Vlad agrees.
9 49 "Sun and Heir" 10 December 2012 (2012-12-10)

Bertrand is convinced 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.

Last appearance of Adze and Bertrand Du Fortunesa
10 50 "Whatever It Takes" 11 December 2012 (2012-12-11)
Vlad's problems appear to escalate even though he's dusted Bertrand. The Slayers Guild anticipate an end to the ceasefire and plan to attack. The only way they will deviate from their plan is if Vlad sacrifices Erin who is still biting. Ingrid is unaware of the Slayers conditions and prepares for all out war, galvanising her troops at Garside. The Count is a little distracted by a new teacher who has the attention of his beloved McCauley.
11 51 "Bootiful Breathers" 17 December 2012 (2012-12-17)
Vlad is still in denial about Bertrand's death and is lying to everyone about the mind wipe of the slayers. Ingrid's bid for a position on the Vampire High Council fails due to an outsider, and she suspects foul play. With the help of Renfield she finds out the truth - and reveals to Vlad what vampires are capable of, if left un-policed by the slayers. Vlad resolves to reverse the mind wipe. Malik helps the Count to get rid of his love rival.
12 52 "Cuckoo in the Nest" 18 December 2012 (2012-12-18)
However, when the Count discovers Vlad's actions, he disinherits him and formally makes Malik the Dracula heir. Vlad comes face-to-face with the Shapeshifter.
13 53 "Kiss of Death" 18 December 2012 (2012-12-18)

Vlad and Ingrid join forces to capture the Shapeshifter, but since she can assume the physical appearance of anybody, they are initially at a loss as to know who she is. 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.

Last appearance of Elisabetta, Malik and Erin Noble; first and only appearance - in an illusion - or Arta Dracula

Famous quotes containing the word series:

    Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.
    Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
