* EntertaininglyWrong: After Nandor goes missing, Colin Robinson accuses Guillermo to be behind the vampires' disappearances, claiming he is kiling them, to preserve his secret. Guillermo quickly makes him realize this makes no sense since if he wanted to protect his secret that badly he still would have no reason to kill ''all'' of the vampires; if he killed Nandor to keep him from finding out the secret, there would be no point to kill Nadja and Laszlo as well since they already know the secret and are keeping it from Nandor. Likewise, if he killed Laszlo and Nadja to keep them from spilling the beans to Nandor, there would be no need to kill Nandor as well since there's no-one left to tell him the secret.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: During her reason you suck speech to the vampires, the Guide also praises Guillermo for being kind to her and chews out the vampires for not turning Guillermo into a vampire already despite all he has done for them, but then she lets it slip in front of Nandor that Guillermo has by now taken matters into his own hand.

The vampires receive an inventation from the (in)famous vampire Perdita Morrigan to spend the weekend at her manor, and the Guide comes along with them. However, once at the manor, they find Miss Morrigan is not home, and then someone or something begins to pick off the vampires one by one.


!!Tropes featured in this episode:

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: To prove the Guide that they do care about her, Laszlo asks the documentary crew for some old footage of a conversation the vampires once had where they talked about the Guide and all expressed their respect for her.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The Guide spares Guillermo, and even flat out tells the vampires he is the only one in their household who ever showed her kindness.
* DwindlingParty: The Guide begins to kidnap and trap the vampires one by one after they arrive at Morrigan Manor. Laszlo is the first to go, then Nadja, Nandor and finally Colin Robinson.
* DualWielding: When fighting off a continuously increasing number of mysterious fencers, Laszlo begins to wield two swords simultaniously.
* EntertaininglyWrong: After Nandor goes missing, Colin Robinson accuses Guillermo to be behind the vampires' disappearances, claiming he is kiling them, to preserve his secret. Guillermo quickly makes him realize this makes no sense since if he wanted to protect his secret that badly he still would have no reason to kill ''all'' of the vampires; if he killed Nandor to keep him from finding out the secret, there would be no point to kill Nadja and Laszlo as well since they already know the secret and are keeping it from Nandor. Likewise, if he killed Laszlo and Nadja to keep them from spilling the beans to Nandor, there would be no need to kill Nandor as well since there's no-one left to tell him the secret.
* InternalReveal: Nandor finally finds out Guillermo had another vampire turn him, and he takes it as badly as everybody predicted he would.
* LuredIntoATrap: Perdita Morrigan never send an invitation. The Guide knew she would be away from her house for a while and use the opportunity to lure the other vampires there with a ForgedMessage so she could get some revenge on them.
* OhCrap: Laszlo manages to beat 8 of the replicating fencers that attack him in the manor, but when they double their numbers to 16 he realizes he is hopelessly outmatched. He can only manage a calm "oh shit" before they pile up on him.
* TheReveal: Several related to both the mysteries in this episode and the seasons story arcs:
** The Guide was behind the vampires getting caught, since she was angry at them for rejecting all her attempts to be their friend.
** Nadja never had a hex on her. The Guide made that up in an attempt to spend time with her.
** Guillermo being a naturally born vampire hunter is the reason his transformation to vampire is taking so long; his vampire hunter cells are fighting off the vampire cells in his body.
* TailorMadePrison: The Guide imprisons the vampires in silver cages since silver is their weakness. Colin Robinson is unaffected since energy vampires don't have a weakness for silver, but since they have no real powers either he is still trapped.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Guide gives all the vampires one after trappin them in their cages about how they constantly belittle, insult and ignore her and never allow her to get close to them.
