Sebastian and Margot find out that the Legacy Council is calling Davina and Elinor in due to the family's recent behavior to see if they're still worthy of being Keepers of the Emerald Malkia, but Elinor is in police custody for her murders and Sebastian ate Davina. Juliette and Cal break up because Juliette turned Theo into a vampire after hearing him cry for help and Cal swears to find a way to kill Juliette after this betrayal.

* FlashStep: In contrast to more common portrayals, zombies are fast enough to do this.

Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook) is a standard socially awkward lesbian teenager who turned sixteen a few weeks ago - bad news for her, because it means that her vampire lineage is starting to fully assert itself. Now her family expects her to perform her first kill so she may enter the ranks of legacy vampire society, something that horrifies Juliette since she just wants to live her life on her terms. But the pressure of her duties is enough to push her towards Calliope "Cal" Burns (Imani Lewis), the new girl in school who she's been crushing on since they met. They encounter each other at a party and Juliette prepares herself to kill Cal...

Only to get a stake through the chest, as Cal and her family are all monster hunters who've arrived to clear the town of anything dangerous and supernatural. When the staking doesn't take, the two families are forced to confront each other while trying to hide their truths from the mundane world around them. And all the while, Juliette and Cal must choose to either fight their rapidly growing attraction to each other...or give in to first love.
