Summary
The Old Ones have arrived and are intent on taking over the world by force.
Cutler has other plans, but when they go awry he plots revenge on his own kind.
Annie is upset as she realises she has been tasked with making the most difficult decision in order to save the world. Tom and Hal have their own plan to destroy the vampires, but when vampire leader Mr. Snow visits Hal, he demonstrates the power he holds over our hero. The vampires reveal that they are fully aware of the complete prophecy and that Eve needs to stay alive to avoid their destruction. Cutler, intent on destroying all vampires including himself, attempts to murder Eve but is killed by Annie. Eve is brought to them by Tom who knows that they will protect her. When Annie comes to rescue Eve, they reveal their knowledge and offer to let her look after Eve but warn her that she will have to lie to everyone, even her friends. Hal enters attempts to blow up the old ones with the self made bomb he prepared together with Tom but Mr. Snow manages to use his influence to get him to drop the bomb and join them instead. The Episode ends with Annie detonating the bomb while holding Eve, thus apparently killing her and all the Old Ones as well.
