Ever since William and Justine's deaths, Elizabeth believes she is in grave danger because of a murderer or monster. However, [[spoiler:it isn't until her wedding night that she comes to discover Victor is the real threat]].
** After Henry goes missing, his father blames the Frankensteins for his disappearance and threatens to call in the debts Alphonse owes him. [[spoiler:It turns out he was technically correct -- Victor ''is'' responsible for Henry's disappearance, as he murdered him out of jealousy and mutilated him for his eyes so he could use them in his creation of Adam. The rest of the Frankensteins, however, had nothing to do with what happened to Henry]].
