Recap and Review
With last week’s episode leaving us hanging as Krista submerged into the pool of blood, last night’s episode starts off running and never stops.

Though the build up was on the anticipation of Krista’s experience with the blood bathing ritual, this episode really brushed right by it. A brief dream type sequence showing Krista Boone’s location and poof, she’s awake (of course, she apparently was under for more than five hours, which was some sort of House of Liechen record). I was expecting a more long drawn out experience with an even longer after effect. It was a pleasant surprise to see that they didn’t dwell on the ordeal, though they definitely took the opportunity to reveal a few key elements.

First, Chase’s ex-husband Frederick discovers that being under the blood for as long as Krista was either meant the she didn’t want to help kill Boone or that she was having trouble adjusting to the vampire way of life. When he lets Krista know this she tried convincing him that she had some sort of fling with Boone, and that is why she didn’t want to kil Boone. However, after Frederick discovered an empty vial of serum, I think it’s safe to say he’s definitely in the know.

The second thing the blood bath did was to make resisting the vampire lifestyle that much more difficult for Krista. Her urge to feed and be free like Boone increased significantly after the blood connection. She may still be able to resist temptation, but she’s definitely finding it harder.

After Krista tells Chase Boone’s location, we finally find out Boone’s intentions and why he’s such a problem for Marcus. As I had mentioned in previous posts, Boone’s big weapon is his knowledge of Marcus’ plans. Specifically, he knows about Marcus kidnapping vampires from the House of Armaya. Boone tries to use this knowledge as leverage to get into the House of Armaya. Unfortunately for Boone, Chase, Krista, and a group of vampires from the House of Chthon arrive and kill all the Armayan vampires before the secret gets out. Boone, however, escapes even though Chase believes him dead.
