Victor is forced to listen to the story of his first creation. He was abandoned by Victor after he was created, and wandered the streets until an actor took pity on him and gave him a job in the Grand Guignol theatre. Lonely, the creature demands that Victor give him a mate. Ethan joins Vanessa and Malcolm's company once again. Vanessa's visions of Mina lead the group to the London Zoo, where they encounter and capture Fenton, a vampire thrall. Malcolm reveals his suspicion that Mina is being used as bait to lure a greater prize—Vanessa.
Tropes:
- A Day in the Limelight : The episode focuses on Victor's and his Creature's backstory.
- Blood from the Mouth: During a flashback, Victor’s mother coughs a lot of blood on her son.
- Calling the Old Man Out: Practically everything Caliban says to Victor in this episode is this trope, chewing his "father" out for abandoning him and saddling him with a grotesque appearance.
- Freudian Excuse: One for Victor and the Creature both. For Victor, his mother's violent death is his Start of Darkness that sends him on his infamous quest to conquer death. For the Creature, well, being abandoned at birth and left to learn about the life by watching a world of unfiltered cruelty through a window will do something to anyone's psyche.
- Troubled Backstory Flashback: Again, one for Victor and the Creature both.
