Added DiffLines:

Guillermo is hiding in a motel from the vengeful Nandor, who is out to kill him now that he knows the truth about what Guillermo did. The other vampires visit him to say their goodbyes. Meanwhile, Nandor runs into actor Creator/PattonOswalt and strikes up a friendship with him, but after Oswalt suggests Nandor should forgive Guillermo, Nandor kills him. Fortuantely, this makes Nandor realize killing a friend does not bring him satisfaction, and he instead decides to help Guillermo complete his transformation.

!!Tropes featured in this episode:

* AsHimself: Creator/PattonOswalt appears as himself in this episode.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: With Nandor's help, Guillermo finally completes his transformation to vampire. But now he has to hunt and kill humans to sustain himself, and finds out he does not have the heart to do so.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Nadja's "disguise" when visiting Guillermo consists of a trechncoat and fedora. Only Derek falls for it.
* IHaveYourWife: To lure Guillermo out, Nandor eventually goes to the appartment of Guillermo's mother and calls him from there.
* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: After Nandor forgives Guillermo, the latter is naturally sceptical, so Nandor hands him a stake and offers Guillermo to kill him here and now if he lied about his forgiveness. Guillermo can't bring himself to kill Nandor.
* NoImmortalInertia: Downplayed as Guillermo has only been a (part) vampire for about a month so there is not that much aging to catch up on; after he becomes human again, that month instantly catches up with him, resulting in Guillermo [[SpontaneousMustache suddenly growing a beard]].
* NoOntologicalInertia: The vampires eventually kill Derek, since he is Guillermo's sire and thus his death undoes Guillermo's vampiric transformation. Guillermo fears this will also kill him, but Nandor assures him that won't happen considering Guillermo has not been a vampire for that long yet. Instead, Guillermo only ages up a month upon regaining his humanity.
* NoTellMotel: Guillermo is hiding in one from Nandor.
* OpenSecret: Guillermo's hiding place turns out to be far from secret as one by one the vampires drop by to visit him. The Guide even tells him that likely everybody knows, since she is usually the last person to find out secrets like this.
* StatusQuoIsGod: By the end of the episode, Guillermo is human again.
* TitleDrop: The episodes title is mentioned by Colin Robinson when he drops by at the motel to take Guillermo's exit interview.
