What are we gonna say?
I'll tell them.
-They should hear the truth from me. -What is the truth, Apollo?
Theo's gone.
I'm responsible.
-That's the only truth that matters. -That makes no sense.
If we tell them Theo's gone,
the first thing they'll ask is what happened and you can't remember.
[suspenseful music playing]
[inaudible dialogue]
[indistinct chatter]
Look, listen. Okay, hold on.
He was big.
He had muscles
and he grabbed me by the neck, I'm like, you strong.
-And then he threw me. -[Jack] I heard that one before.
Your dad just asked if he can have your steaks.
[Jack] That's right, you snooze, you lose.
Yo. Bro. I was just telling Mom and Pops
about how you saved my ass at the Legacy raid.
-What? -[Jack] He claims
you two took out some bodybuilder vamp.
Oh. Yeah, that guy.
That guy was the size of an ox.
Callie, you weren't there, but I'm talking fangs the size of tusks.
Only reason I'm here is because Apollo had my back.
Okay.
"Callie"? You've absolutely never called me that before.
Like, ever.
Hmm.
Tell us your last words to him. Come on.
Oh, I don't remember.
"I don't remember." Don't be all modest now.
-You know what you said. -Come on.
"You been juicing, bloodsucker?"
All right, just quick housekeeping.
So, that Nightcrawler you were never going to see again?
Sent me a text you were at her house, and Paolo was picking you up.
And Savannah PD called.
You're no longer a person of interest in the Cook case.
It pays to have connections.
Guild wouldn't have done that if they didn't trust us.
I'm thinking that we're okay.
But we probably wouldn't be if he hadn't gotten the monster out of here.
That doesn't mean she should have been here in the first place.
You okay, Theo?
Yeah, just a little heartburn.
You sure?
[clears throat] Yeah, I'm just, I'll go lay down for a second. Excuse me.
[Talia] Let me know if you want me to bring you something.
-Okay? -[Theo] Okay.
That boy can take on a vamp, but not a little heartburn?
Babe, pass me one of them biscuits.

Oh, my God.

[car horn honks]
What the hell, sweet little, you almost hit my car.
-Maybe I should have. -Someone sounds hangry.
Have you fed today?
-Where did you find that? -Where did you leave it?
Easy with the interrogation, Sebastian Junior.
I had a lovely dinner
and I don't need your petulance affecting my digestion.
I asked you a question and I want an answer.
-Elinor! -Juliette!
Okay, then.
I am exhausted, sticky, and I need a shower.
But if you have a point, I'll allow you to make it.
Calliope is devastated.
And there's nothing I can do to make it better.
You knew how much she meant to me, and you destroyed her family anyway.
She will never recover from this.
The whole Burns family will never recover from this.
What about your own family, Juliette?
Her family just tried to kill me,
but you are so wrapped up in this hunter girl
that you don't give a shit about your own sister.
No matter how much hell you raise,
no matter how many lives you destroy, you never feel bad about any of it.
It is like you are completely devoid of--
In Lilith's great name, I am so tired
of having this moral compass conversation with you.
We are Legacy vampires.
We don't follow rules. We make them.
You are one confusing sappy version of who we are,
and I'm the version we should be.
Truly, you're unteachable,
-and I am exhausted from trying. -I get it.
This is the point where the Gaslight Queen convinces her subject
that she's the problem.
Not this time. The truth is the truth. And I am so tired of this.
I am such an idiot for taking so long to see this.
You are a soulless murderer and I am completely done with you.
Good night.
And get out.
[shouts]
You wanna play truth till it hurts?
None of us, you, me, our dad who is still shedding,
or those Burns brothers, would be in this situation
if you had just drained that hunter girl dry when you had a chance.
Or given your cowardice, simply stayed away from her.
Everything that has happened to all of us
happened because you didn't do the right thing.
Theo's blood is on your hands.
And as far as I'm concerned, that is one Burns down, four to go.
I will never forgive you for this.
You better hope I forgive you.
I can't believe you didn't want this.
I'm just not hungry.
I'm going to go see about Theo.
Actually...
we wanted to talk to you.
Baby, will you leave us alone with your sister?
Um, well, actually, I'm not finished eating, so...
But you just said that you...
[Talia laughs]
Okay, eat then. Come on, Cal.
[Jack] Baby girl, we're concerned, and clearly you've been on edge,
which makes us suspicious.
We have to assume it has something to do with the vamp.
It doesn't. I just have a lot on my mind.
Calliope, there's been too many lies told in this house,
and I don't have the patience for more. So here's where we are.
The Guild helped clear your name, but they're still watching us.
[Jack] Yeah, we've seen two vehicles do drive-bys today.
-[Talia] And we know it's them. -New rules.
You don't leave this house unless you're with one of us.
[Talia] We're getting you a new phone.
Which means you have to turn the old one in tonight.
Hey, thanks for dinner, Mom.
Yeah. You're welcome, baby.
Come on.
[Talia] Cal, being anywhere near her puts this whole family in jeopardy.
And since clearly the severing didn't break you up,
we have to do what we have to do.
Okay. Yeah, I get it.
It's fine.
May I be excused?
Um, yeah. Yeah.
And leave your room door open at all times, so we can check on you.
From now until we get out of this town.
Okay, I will.

No, we don't.
Cal, look at me. Baby.
Go upstairs. All right? You shouldn't see your brother like this.
Yes. She should.
She needs to see what vampires truly are.
Why she needs to stay away from that daywalking bloodsucker.
He's her brother, Jack.
No, he isn't.
Dad.
-Not anymore. -Why would you say that?
-Mom, no! Why would you say that? -Come with me.

-[Stoler] Ms. Fairmont... -Nope. Lawyer.
Sure you don't want to talk to me?
I suppose this is the part where you say
if I have anything to share, it's a good time to do it.
There is something, actually.
The flecks of marinara on your tie match perfectly
with the ones stuck in your teeth.
You know, life behind bars?
It's a long time for a pretty young thing like you.
How fortunate for me that I'll never know.
[knocking on door]
A buck says that's my lawyer.
-[door opens] -About time.
That'll be all, detective. I trust my client's been treated well.
Counselor.
She's lawyered up, turn it off.
Aren't you going to say, "I object"?
Or, you know, something equally sassy?
I object to your unkempt hair,
your repulsive presence, and your dumb grin.
I knew she was weak, but I can't believe Juliette let you talk her into this.
Is that what you think happened?
She couldn't have pulled it off on her own.
And therein lies your fatal flaw.
Your bloated sense of self makes you underestimate everyone.
You crushed her soul, El.
You gave her a reason to hate you. A reason to destroy you by any means.
So she did.
I tried to shape my little sister into a proper Legacy.
The same way Mother molded me.
Wounded animals are dangerous,
especially when they know where you keep the key to your Murder Locker.
You remember Mr. Green?
I loved him.
I begged Mom...
Margot...
to let me bring him home.
I was two.
But you hated him.
His tank smelled like a sewer.
I can't believe you still have that.
Are you seriously trying to blame your stupid turtle's death on me?
That is some next-level toxic masculinity, Oliver.
No, I killed him.
With my little five-year-old hands.
With an assist from my manipulative evil-from-birth twin, I did it.
But let's not forget about our old camp counselor Stephanie.
And then there was super-kind Dr. Deborah, our therapist.
"Drain her and you won't have to take those yucky pills anymore," you told me.
[Elinor] And you never would have had your first kill.
-You're welcome. -You're a sociopath.
You made everyone believe I was evil.
But it was all you.
You know, I spent most of my time in exile trying to answer one question:
-"Why?" -That's what you were focused on?
What a waste of five good years of your life.
You could've actually gone to law school.
Yeah.
Can you tell me, Elinor?
I really need to know.
You really want to know, huh?
I really do.
I just felt like it.
When Dad finds out you were here...
Excuse me?
Did you say Dad?
[laughs]
Elinor, you really should have paid more attention
when they shipped me off to Prague.
Oh, let me guess.
Dad told you to stay quiet, just be a good Fairmont.
And Mom told you that everything would be okay, right?
They won't leave me here.
They already did.
It's a matriarchy,
nothing matters more than protecting the reputation
of the Keeper of the Malkia.
I'm really gonna love watching you burn.
[suspenseful music playing]
[sobbing]
[Talia] Jack.
Honey.
Do me a favor, and move away from that cabinet.
Why?
You're making me nervous.
[groans]
How could you be so calm when the whole goddamn world is ending?
I can't afford to be anything but.
That's how we've always done it, baby.
When one is weak, the other is strong.
And which one of us is the weak one right now, huh?
Someone's gotta make sure you won't use anything
inside of that on our son.
And I'd feel a lot better if you'd come sit down.
So we can figure this out.
There's nothing to figure out, T.
My son, my blood...
cannot be this thing.
I can't let it stand.
You know, I don't even know what that means, Jack.
You can't "let it stand." What else can we do but let it stand?
-You know what I mean. -I don't know anything,
because there is no way you're going to do anything--
-I have to put him down, Talia. -You're not killing our son.
That vampire chained in the basement is no more my boy
-than the monster who turned him. -He is still Theseus Burns, Jack.
Named after your grandfather and your great-grandfather.
-He cannot live in this hou-- -Over my dead body.
There.
You made me say it.
You will kill our son over my dead body.
[keypad beeping]
[Margot] You're exhausted.
Maybe you should try to go to bed.
We have lost two of our children. Sleep is the last thing on my mind.
We haven't lost them.
Oliver is Oliver. I always hold out hope he'll come around, and Elinor...
Maybe prison will be a learning experience.
Why would she stay in prison?
Not only does she drain humans for fun, she has that memory reset power
we've asked her a million times not to use.
I have to say, sweetheart, you're ridiculously calm
for someone whose daughter just put us at risk in both of our worlds.
She won't do it.
Why wouldn't she?
It's still about power with Elinor.
She wants to be the Keeper too badly to massacre a whole police department,
and get banished by the clan for the attention it brings.
I remember your mother screaming, telling you you'd be sorry
if you had children with "that vampire" you made.
Maybe it wasn't just anger, and she knew something we didn't.
-That our bloodlines weren't meant to mix. -Hey.
It's Mother's usual nonsense. You know she's a bigot.
Was.
I realize that we show affection differently,
but I love our children, Sebastian.
-With my whole heart. -But your primary responsibility
is to the Emerald Malkia.
I know that, and the Keeper vows to lay down her life
to protect the mother serpent.
Elinor was the Keeper-in-Waiting, and it didn't make her any less reckless,
so I think she'll have to stay put a while.
The Legacy Families? How do we explain this?
Council in Budapest is six months away.
That gives us plenty of time to come up
with a plausible reason for Mother's disappearance.
Till then... we focus on Juliette.
She's our beacon of hope.
She doesn't want our life, sweetheart.
She will, once she gets over that hunter girl.
And she will.
Young love never lasts.
Ours did.
[pop music playing]
This is exactly what I want from you, for the next thousand years.
A thousand?
You promised me eternity.
[doorbell rings]
Come on.
Awfully late for a delivery, isn't it?
What's going on?
[door closes]
Legacy Sentry.
He delivered this.
"You are hereby notified the Legacy Council
is challenging the fitness of Keeper of the Malkia, Davina Atwood.
As the Keeper-in-Waiting, your presence is required to appear
in front of the Council Court on the first Monday after the New Moon."
That's in two days.
Okay, let's not panic. That gives us two days to figure this out.
What is there to figure out?
The Legacy Council is challenging Mother's fitness as the Keeper,
and I doubt that she will be there to defend herself, given that you ate her.
[shouts]
You stay away from my fucking son.
[grunting]
Does it hurt?
Stupid question.
I mean, this is my fault.
I know I did this to you, and I just...
I wish I could remember why or how. I just-- I don't.
I'm sorry.
Come on, think, Apollo.
Come on, focus.
I remember chopping it up with Elinor.
But I was completely sober.
I only took one sip.
And I know I would have tried to help you. I know I would have tried.
She's involved in this somehow.
Do you hear me? Yo!
Theo, let me go!
[gasping]
Are you gonna kill me?
Do it. Do it!
I deserve to die. I'm the reason this happened to you.
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
[suspenseful music playing]
Theo, don't do it! Theo!
Theo!
Shit!
[Apollo] Theo!
Wait.
[Apollo] Theo, stop!
Theo, I don't wanna fight you.
Theo, this isn't you. I don't want to fight you.
Please, stop fighting before you get hurt.
Oh, God.
Hold on.
Wait.
Please.
It's not his fault. He's confused.
And he's hungry.
He's just been turned.
-You'd know, your sister did this to him. -I can help him.
How can a monster help?
-Is it okay if I come closer? -[Apollo] Absolutely not.
To a new vampire, every sound is too much noise.
The thirst for blood feels unquenchable.
It's impossible to think through it all until it feeds from...
the one who made it.
Cal.
-You did this? -[Juliette] No.
-No. -You turned my brother?
-[Juliette] Can you come with me... -I'm sorry.
-Cal, I can explain-- -What, Juliette?
What could you possibly say to me?
He asked for my help.
Help me.
[gasping]
[Juliette] I was trying to drain him, so he could die with dignity.
I hope you're at peace now.
Elinor is responsible for Theo's death.
I just wanted to make things right, or as right as I could.
As right as you could? Thought you were some kind of savior?
No. I didn't know what I'd done.
-I never would've-- -You turned my brother into a monster.
-Cal-- -That's what you did.
And you knew that's not what he was asking you to do.
So enough with always playing the innocent.
The "I don't know what I am, I don't know how this works" bullshit.
When you sank your fangs into him,
you knew there was a chance you could turn him. True or false?
Let's go with true. You know what else is true?
You made him the thing he was raised to hate and trained to kill.
The thing that murdered his mother.
-That wasn't your choice to make. -No.
I know that and I'm sorry.
Sorry won't bring my brother back.
I know that.
So then why are you still standing here?
-Please. Leave. -Cal.
-Now. -Cal, don't do this!
You'll give Elinor exactly what she wanted, what they all wanted:
for us to not be together.
Do you think I care what your family wants?
Let me make this as plain to you as I can.
-Stay the hell away from me. -I love you.
And I know you love me.
There is no way you can just turn your feelings off for me like that.
I'm not telling you again.
You can stake me if it'll make you feel better.
[sobbing] But you know I won't die.
That's right.
You're a very "special" kind of monster.
But I will spend the rest of my life trying to figure out
how to kill you and every Legacy like you.
I'm sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
[Jack] She needs to see what vampires truly are.
Why she needs to stay away from that daywalking bloodsucker,
I have to put him down!
There's no other option.
We put him down tonight.
Pops, please. Wait, I'm...
Give me the tape.
-Come on, hurry up. Give me the tape. -[Theo] Pops...
-No! -[Jack] I don't wanna hear it.
A beast like this killed his mother.
Theo and I promised each other we would avenge her death.
We talked about which weapons we would use.
We were going to celebrate.
Right down to the 16-year-old bottle of Scotch
that we'd open in her honor.
Jack, our son is sick.
[Jack] My son.
My son... the one I love with everything in me,
wouldn't want to live this way.
If I really love him, then I have to kill the beast that has taken him.
I'm Theo's mother, Jack.
I'm Theo's mother, Jack!
And I have been since he was 7 years old.
[sobbing] You know, I can't just stand by while you take my baby.
Apollo, please help your father
understand that we're not killing your brother.
Please.
I don't want to live in a world without my brother.
But my brother's gone.
Dad's right.
Jack, we have always been on the same page.
Always.
So I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
But if you tell me I'm wrong, and you really believe it,
-I will stand by you, but my heart... -Come on.
Okay.
[sobbing]
I'm sorry.
I love you, and I'll never be good without you.
It's the Burns brothers forever, right?
It's the Burns brothers forever, all right? I'm sorry.
I need to say goodbye, and then I want to do it myself.
-No, I'm not with that. -Yes.
Take some time, just you and him.
And then we do it together.
Okay.
Okay. Together.
Okay.
You are everything to me.
From the first time I laid eyes on you...
you have been my heart.
I'm still going to be around whether I marry your dad or not.
You know why?
Because I love you... with my whole heart.
My whole heart.
