Previously, on The Gates
They have no idea what
your tea is doing to them.
Things that seem too good
to be true usually are,
especially when they involve Devon.
I need to know that
if I do this, it stops.
- The threats Everything.
- That is the agreement.
I brought you something.
It's devil's weed.
I've seen it do miracles.
We're gonna get through this.
Together.
You know that I'm the
one that's here for you?
I want you out of my life.
He will never accept what
you really are, Andie.
I'm gonna explain everything.
It all started the night
Dylan revealed to me
what he really is A vampire.
Mom?
Hey.
I can't sleep.
Well, uh, join the club.
Do you want some tea?
Only if it's decaffeinated.
Okay.
Hello, Sarah.
Care to join me?
Easy.
Easy.
All right.
Nightmare?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're okay.
Look at me.
You're okay.
Ever since you told me about this place,
I can't sleep.
I know.
And then when I do, it's
I know.
How can you want to stay here?
Look, Dylan
He could've let Teresa kill me.
He didn't.
He risked everything to save my life.
To save you.
And Buckley and Ross
They're good people.
I don't I don't
I don't know.
I
We're gonna do this together.
I just want you to give
it some time, all right?
You want to leave after that, we leave.
Promise?
I promise you.
I love you.
I love you.
Happy anniversary.
Aah.
Oh.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You know, I'm not getting any younger.
Then after this
Maybe tonight's the night.
After the party.
It'll be like renewing our vows.
Frank, if you're sure
Not everyone here is
gonna be happy for us.
You've done a lot for
the people of the Gates,
and they know it.
They can allow you this.
Do you remember the justice of the peace,
the way he looked at us?
"Are you sure she's of age?"
And then you said
"You have no idea.
"
I've always known
That I wanted us to be together forever.
After we make you a vampire, we will be.
What exactly am I supposed
to tell the rest of the pack?
That's why I wanted to meet.
There are some people
who might interpret this
decision incorrectly.
You're choosing sides, Buckley.
That's how they'll interpret it.
Let's just keep this civil.
Look, I'm afraid I have to agree.
Even though I support the commitment
you and Vanessa are making,
the The hastiness with
which it's being done,
it will cause concern.
I can assure you
this decision was not made lightly.
Either way, it affects us all.
You're making a mistake.
A dangerous one.
Is that a threat?
It's a warning.
Frank, maybe you
Maybe you should reconsider this.
I trust the people that live here.
What if you're wrong?
I guess we'll find out tonight.
Well, look who's out shopping
on such a bright, sunny day.
Well, I was just
Picking something up
for the Buckleys'
anniversary party tonight.
Oh, but that's right.
Silly me, I forgot.
Of course.
Sorry, Devon.
You weren't invited.
Well, whatever you bought,
I hope it's not inscribed.
It'll make it that much harder to return
after their inevitable divorce.
Oh, I doubt very much
they'll be getting divorced.
Haven't you heard?
Vanessa's gonna turn Buckley.
So I suppose that means that
they plan on being together
for, oh, quite some time.
Old news, Claire.
They've talked about it for ages.
But Frank always gets cold feet.
He's never been one for commitment.
Well, maybe it's time for a news update,
because Vanessa is
turning Buckley tonight.
Maybe it's not commitment he's afraid of.
Maybe he just never found anyone
worth committing to before.
Oh, I wish it didn't
bother me so much anymore.
It's been years,
but I guess I just never thought
Frank and Vanessa would last this long.
I'm venting.
I'm sorry.
Hmm, looks like I'm not the only one
with something on her mind.
Yeah, I just, I, uh,
I haven't been sleeping too well.
I thought it was Nick
who had trouble sleeping.
Well, it was.
Uh, he just must have
passed it along to me.
He told you.
Didn't he?
Told me Told me what?
About the Gates.
Yeah, I I don't know
what you're talking about.
It's okay.
You know, for all the families
in the Gates who are
What's Frank's word for them?
Special,
there are far more who
are completely normal.
Just like us.
Really?
I'm sorry, Sarah.
I would have told you myself,
but they weren't my secrets to tell.
I mean, how do you live like this?
Claire, Karen
I mean, all the time
that we spent together.
I mean, I-I invited them into my home.
And they were lying to you the whole time.
Well, you can trust me.
We humans have to stick together.
You should talk to Frank
at the party tonight.
No, I can't.
I mean, it's at Claire's house,
and I'm not ready to face her just yet.
Speak to him.
After all, he's the one
who brought you here.
Don't you think he owes you some answers?
Then you'll never have
to think of it again.
See?
Just like regular medicine.
A couple drops twice a day, and I'm fine.
How do you know you're fine?
Well, that blue rash
hasn't come back, so
W-what What's wrong?
Nothing.
Just
Sorry.
I just, um
No.
No, it's okay.
Perfectly understandable.
Hey.
Wait a second.
I
I told you we were gonna
get through this together.
And we will.
Why don't you
Come by my house later, and we can
You know.
We can what?
Practise.
I like that idea.
Look who's back.
Hey, man.
Thought we were gonna have to
bust out a search party for you.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm really good.
You look stunning.
Thank you.
Listen, sweetheart.
I have to tell you something.
Okay.
After the party tonight
Vanessa is gonna turn Frank
Into a vampire.
There are people who don't
want to see that happen,
so there could be some trouble.
Okay.
"Okay"?
You're taking that pretty well.
Maybe I'm just getting harder to shock.
One second.
Excuse me.
I'm so glad you made it.
Mwah!
Lovely to see you.
I've been dying to
introduce you both to peg,
the woman I told you about.
She's over her.
Peg!
Seems quiet.
No wolves so far.
Could be a good thing.
Or a bad one.
Hey, sweetie.
Hey, Mrs.
chief.
How you holding up?
I'm, uh, I'm working on it.
Well, if you need to
talk to anyone, I'm here.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
What's going on?
Don't worry.
We're not here to cause trouble.
Is this invitation still good?
Well, after this morning,
you're the last person I expected to see.
I'm a little surprised, myself.
But we talked, and
I realized that the way I
acted this morning was unfair.
You've done a lot for our community.
And the least we can do
is return the kindness.
Well, thank you.
You have no idea how
much this means to us.
Sarah.
I'm so glad you came.
I know how hard this must be for you.
I-I don't think you do.
Well, I
Admit we kept some secrets.
Some secrets?
Well, if I told you the
truth the first day we'd met,
do you honestly think you
would have believed me?
And after all, it's not the kind of thing
you open a conversation with.
"Pleased to meet you.
I'm Karen.
And occasionally I transform into a wolf.
"
I suppose what she's
trying to say is that
Now you know what we are.
Try not to forget who We are.
Yeah, I don't think I could
possibly ever forget
Excuse me.
Mr.
Buckley.
We need to talk.
Well Well, of course.
Let's find someplace
a little more private.
You know
I'm old enough to be home
alone without a babysitter.
So if you guys want to go out,
you know, like somewhere else,
I'd be perfectly okay with that.
And if you want to go
upstairs and watch TV,
we'd be perfectly okay with that, too.
I can't believe I worked
to get you guys together.
Are we being mean?
She's fine.
W-what is it?
Are you okay?
Charlie
You look
Scared.
I am scared.
No, I-it's not that.
I'm scared because I
never felt this way before.
And I'm scared of losing you.
Andie, I
I love you.
I love you, too.
I wish you would have
told me about this place
before I brought my family here.
Before I brought my kids here.
I-I watch them walk to
school with the other kids,
and I wonder, "what are they?
What are their parents?"
I understand, Sarah.
I really do.
Would you just please sit down?
Now, when I first found out
about our special residents,
I was terrified.
I couldn't wrap my head around it.
And I thought about leaving.
So why did you stay?
Well, I-I didn't have a choice by then.
I had already fallen in love.
With a vampire.
No.
Vanessa.
You and Nick
Have become a real part of this place.
You have changed things
without even knowing it.
You have brought people together.
Not everyone can do that.
Are you enjoying the party?
Mm.
Nobody would have blamed
you for canceling, you know.
Well
You still want to go through with this?
Trust me, Nick.
That was harmless.
If somebody in the Gates
wanted me dead, I'd be dead.
I'll be fine.
Frank
Are you sure you still want this?
More than ever.
Whoever that was at the Radcliffs',
they were serious.
So am I.
I love you, and that's all that matters.
I love you, Frank.
Vanessa, what's wrong?!
Vanessa!
What's wrong?
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
From the degradation
of skin and bone here,
I'd say she was over 100 years old.
She was 157.
Is this what happens when your people die?
No.
I've never seen
anything like this before.
Frank
You said this happened after
Vanessa drank your blood.
She did it before.
Well, if this was caused by poison,
it could've been introduced
to his bloodstream recently.
We'll need a sample.
We should go over what he
ate and drank last night.
If someone tried to poison me,
why did Vanessa die instead of me?
First thing's first.
Let's take this blood.
We should take it to my lab.
I'll get the results quicker that way.
We find anything on the heart?
Yeah.
The good news is
it belongs to a deer, not a human.
Okay.
I ran a partial print I found on the note.
And it belongs to Martin Creely.
Wolf?
Yeah.
Went to his residence, no one home.
There is a campsite he uses a lot,
but tracking a wolf in the woods
kind of gives him the
home-field advantage.
Yeah.
All right.
Good work.
Let's go.
What is that smell?
Sir? It's a deer.
Leigh!
Oh, God!
We can do this all day long,
but I know you stuck that
thing in Buckley's door.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know?
You know how your fingerprints
got all over the note?
No.
You don't have to
talk to me.
That's fine.
You got much bigger problems than me.
You broke the code.
You murdered a vampire.
Wait.
Murdered a vampire?
You killed Vanessa Buckley.
"Even vampires die.
"
How do you think Ross
is gonna feel about this?
Do you think I care how Ross feels?
Hey, Zach.
Mr.
Creely here
Doesn't want to cooperate.
You're gonna tell the chief
everything he wants to know.
Now.
All right.
Look
I didn't kill anyone.
I just wanted to scare
Buckley into changing his mind.
Even after I gave specific
orders to back off?
Yeah.
But nailing the heart to the
door was as far as I went.
I swear.
There's no way that I'd be crazy enough.
Mm.
Leigh here.
Hey, uh, Leigh.
It's Sarah.
Is Nick in?
Yeah, but he's interviewing a suspect.
Oh, okay.
It's horrible what happened.
What? W-what happened?
Vanessa Buckley died last night.
What?!
Yeah.
Apparently, something went wrong
when she tried to turn Frank.
Wait.
Turn Frank?
Into a vampire?
Didn't the chief tell you?
No.
No.
I-I-I
gotta go.
You're out
Out of the pack
And out of the Gates.
Where am I supposed to go?!
I don't care.
I'm not done with you.
What's going on?
I've got the test results
from Buckley's blood.
There is definitely a toxin present.
What kind of toxin?
I'm not sure.
It's unlike anything I've seen before.
Now, it's not harming him,
but it's not going away, either.
In fact, it's growing.
Now, this toxin has turned Buckley
into the living carrier of a poison
that could kill any vampire exposed to it.
Chief Monohan.
I was wondering when you'd be stopping by.
You make all these teas and
herbal treatments and stuff, yeah?
Yeah?
That's right.
I bet you're really good at this.
I'm an expert.
Are you trying to imply something?
Where were you last night, Devon?
On a date.
With Patrick Detken, the city councilman.
It was a fundraising event.
There were hundreds of guests.
And they'd all remember
seeing you, of course.
With the dress I was wearing, definitely.
It's frustrating, I'm sure.
Spurned ex-wife does sound
like the perfect suspect.
You know, chief Monohan,
Vanessa wasn't my friend.
She betrayed me.
And while I'm not happy she's dead,
I will say that sometimes in life,
people get exactly what they deserve.
You're right, Devon.
Sometimes people do.
Hey, Charlie.
Look, something weird is going on.
Mom took me and Dana out of school.
We're home.
She said she doesn't want
us to leave the house.
All right.
I'll be right home.
What are we doing here?
Uh, it's a little surprise.
Trust me.
You'll like it.
Surprise!
Are you serious?
We're getting you out of your head, man.
You've been so hung up on stuff.
So we thought you could
use a little party.
Won't you guys' parents know
that you guys swiped their liquor?
Mnh-mnh.
We took a bit from each,
fill them back up with water.
They'll never know the difference.
Bottoms up, Crezski.
What the hell?
Whoo!
Hey.
Charlie called.
Vanessa Buckley died last night?
Yeah.
I-I was gonna call you,
and then I-I've been at it all day.
Yeah, L-Leigh told me that it was because
Vanessa was trying to turn Frank into a
Shh!
You You knew about this?
Of course.
Whatever happened to "We're a team,
We're in this together"?
We are.
Sarah
- Then why didn't you tell me?
- I did.
No, you didn't!
Yes, I did, Sarah, before
we went to the party,
last night.
What party?
You're scaring me right now, Sarah.
Okay, Frank and Vanessa's party.
Nick, I don't know what
you're talking about.
Sarah.
Look, sweetie, sweetie.
Look.
Look.
Your purse.
You never use this unless we go out.
Come on, sweetie.
You should talk to Frank,
at the party tonight.
Then you'll never have
to think of it again.
I poisoned Frank Buckley.
You ready for this?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Hello?
Devon?
She's gone.
Hey, it's Mick.
I want all eyes out
looking for Devon Buckley.
If she's on the premises,
I want her found.
Yeah.
All right.
Look at me.
This is not your fault.
Do you understand?
She drugged you.
I need to talk to Buckley.
Okay.
You guys
Thanks so much.
You have no idea how much I needed this.
See, man?
Bet you haven't thought
about Andie and Charlie
all afternoon.
I don't get it.
I mean, it's not like they
can even really be together.
What?
Lexie, what?
I, um
I overheard Mia giving
Andie some sort of medicine.
These green drops.
Um, apparently, it works.
Makes it safe for them to do, um
Whatever.
Look
Forget about them.
They're not like us.
We are your real friends,
and that is never going to change.
Easy, Crezski.
I can't keep running away.
Man, sit down.
You're in no shape
What's the point of having
teeth if you never use them?
This poison in Buckley's blood
So far I've found traces
of rare herbs and plants,
um, human facial tissue,
ocular fluid from a wolf.
And there's something else
Vampire blood.
Vampire blood?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Can't believe which one of
us would be foolish enough
to give out their blood.
Or even worse than that,
that they're colluding
with whoever did this.
Devon.
It was Devon.
Well, how do you know?
She was blackmailing me.
Jessica Cooper knew about the contractor
that I killed.
And Devon offered me an out.
My blood
For her silence.
She was going to expose me.
And expose us.
The threat was too great, Dylan.
I had no choice.
I'm sorry.
You did this to protect our family?
I would have done the same.
What are you doing here?
Word's out about Buckley.
- About what's in his blood.
- How?
One of the wolves overheard
what you told the chief.
And he's already talking.
Once the rest of the pack knows,
they'll come for Buckley.
And they'll take his
blood any way they can.
Devon.
You're certain it was her?
But not just her.
I wish
That I could say this
was all Devon's fault
But I'm just as responsible.
Sarah
No, I, uh
I knew that there was
something wrong with the tea.
And I was warned.
But I didn't listen.
I don't know.
Maybe
- maybe I couldn't, but
It doesn't change the fact
that what happened to you and Vanessa
Is my fault.
I don't quite know how to apologize
for something like this, but
I'm so sorry.
If there's anyone to blame, it's me.
This all started when I
began my affair with Vanessa.
I just didn't
Have any idea
that Devon would go this
far to get back at me.
There's more to it, isn't there?
People know the toxin is in your blood.
And soon others will follow.
Events, they have been set into motion,
and I can't see any way to stop it.
And you?
We don't have much time, but I can
I can get you out.
You're a good man, Dylan.
The Gates
The place where anyone,
no matter who you are,
or what you are,
could come and make a home.
Feel safe, secure.
That was my dream.
I can't imagine
The people that I have been protecting
for the last decade
Are coming to kill me.
What do we do now?
We're leaving the Gates.
Buckley's dead.
And the body?
Well, the lead medical examiner
is one of our own, so
He'll make sure the body's incinerated.
The blood is contained.
What about Devon?
She's gone.
Then this isn't over.
As long as she's out there
This can happen again.
So then we find her,
and we make sure it doesn't.
