just aired its sixth episode of the season, and things got even crazier! Check out our recap and let us know what you thought!

Vanessa is playing with the tarot cards when she starts to hear things, specifically a shipping port, and men screaming. Dorian shows up as she’s talking to Malcolm about what she heard, and offers to take her on an adventure.

As Vanessa leaves, Malcolm is researching things about ports when Victor comes to him and explains that nothing weird came from the autopsy of the creature they had in custody. He also explains that it’s likely the creature communicates with it’s master through a means that they cannot hear or see.

Dorian takes Vanessa to get photographed, and it’s her first time. They start bonding on their little exploration, and when he drops her off back at the house, she asks if he has plans for dinner.

As she leaves to dinner, Malcolm goes to the shipping port and Ethan is on his way when Brona gives him her necklace of Saint Jude, to keep him safe.

After dinner, Vanessa goes to Dorian’s place and she notices all he has are portraits, and not any landscapes. And Dorian puts on some music, hitting on Vanessa in the same room he had sex with Ethan in just the night before.

They end up having sex, and also cutting each other with a knife… and licking up the blood. Their sex gets really, really violent and crazy and it’s in that moment that Vanessa almost gets possessed by a demon, who says “Hello, my child.” She then runs off.

Dorian then goes to stare at the portrait of himself in his basement, and all his cuts and wounds get healed.

Ethan meets Malcolm and he tells him that they’re going to go explore a plague ship. On their way, Malcolm explains that Brona will stop being who she is and she’s only going to get sicker, so Ethan should consider a private asylum or institution but Ethan doesn’t want that for her.

When they arrive, the ship is filled with sleeping vampires, and they search for Mina through-out. When they think she’s not there, all of the creatures start waking up and attacking, and it’s revealed their master is sleeping under the floor as well. Someone drops a lantern, and it causes a fire to burn.

As the fire starts to expand, Malcolm sees the master vampire across the ship and he has Mina. But they couldn’t get to her, and the master escapes with her in his arms.

Vanessa comes back home when Malcolm is there, and just when he’s about to explain he’s been keeping something from her she gets really pale, and starts levitating with her neck almost twisted completely backwards.

Victor is performing an autopsy on the creature that died the night before. Meanwhile his first creation, Caliban, is working at the theater when a woman comes to visit. She’s an actress from the play, and asks Caliban to fix something for her. She explains that her brother was in an accident, and he was burned and always looks away, like Caliban does. And cue Caliban falling in love.

Caliban leaves the woman a book in her apartment and watches from a hiding spot as she finds it, but then her lover comes and he is heart broken.

Victor is trying to find a subject for Caliban when Van Helsing arrives and they go to dinner. Victor explains he’s been struggling with something, and Van Helsing wants to hear his story but Victor won’t tell him just yet.

So Van Helsing takes him somewhere to tell Victor what Malcolm is seeking, and explains that his wife suffered from the same affliction as Mina. He teaches Victor about vampires, finally!

As they’re walking in the street and Van Helsing it talking about how his life is almost over, Caliban shows up and drags him into an alley and snaps his neck, demanding that Victor keep his promise.
