He was duped, used, and manipulated for the whim of the Order and Browning. His immediate reaction was to save Mina, no surprise there, his love for her will never cease. He will risk his life to save hers that is for sure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\nNow for probably my first favorite scene in the episode, Browning going to find his children. I must admit that at first the scene is deceiving, but what finally happens is sheer genius. The diabolical (I love that word) plan that finally unfolds is <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Karma\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Karma\" target=\"_blank\">karma<\/a> at its finest. The way the scene is shot is perfection, the use of light and shadows, or dark and light\u2026I was in heaven! \u00a0When Van Helsing asks if Browning recognizes him and Browning does not, it just shows the kind of evil that Browning possesses. When Van Helsing tells him \u201cyou slaughtered my family\u201d and Browning answers \u201cthat hardly narrows it down\u201d I cursed at him and said words that I will not repeat here. Again, it shows the darkest evil that Browning prided (in a sick and twisted way) himself on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/Dracula\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-449\" alt=\"Dracula-S1x10-Ransom demand\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Ransom-demand.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Ransom-demand.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Ransom-demand-256x139.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Ransom-demand-320x174.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Ransom-demand-400x217.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis scene in particular is one of the greatest examples of revenge I have seen. The way that Van Helsing exacted his revenge on Browning was the ultimate screw you (I wanted to use a much more colorful word, but cannot) to him. This is poetic justice at its best, the final blow to Browning\u2019s ego and his maniacal self is the stuff legends are made of. The stories of revenge that have been told throughout time would be proud to add this to its pages. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When the children (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Max Jacobs Bownas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm4543190\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1\" target=\"_blank\">Max Jacobs Bownas<\/a> and <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Ruth Bownas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm6207337\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1\" target=\"_blank\">Ruth Bownas<\/a>) smile at each other that is the icing on the cake, the grandest of moments when you as the viewer know something is about to happen\u2026and then the reveal.

So it begins, the weapons come out first, but soon get thrown aside for good old fashioned skin. The fighting goes on and gets more brutal as it continues. It was beautifully done, the dance betwixt the two. When Jayne stabs Grayson with the holy dagger you think she has won, do you really think it is that easy to destroy the evil one? Not even close, check mate Jayne, check mate. Unfortunately her fate is sealed the moment she turns her back on him. Flinging her toward her death she lands on an exposed pipe\u2026ouch! When Grayson says that he has grown immune to all her \u201ctoys\u201d again it begs if she really had faith in the dagger or was she just hoping it would harm him.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/Dracula\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-454\" alt=\"Dracula-S1x10-Facing Dracula\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Facing-Dracula-400x217.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Facing-Dracula-400x217.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Facing-Dracula-256x139.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Facing-Dracula-320x174.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Facing-Dracula.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I had read tweets during the broadcast that fans wanted Grayson to turn Jayne into a vampire, which of course would be the ultimate irony.

Jayne\u2019s last dying words are what really drive the proverbial stake through Grayson\u2019s heart.

She\u2019s been hiding who she really is for a long time, she\u2019s an expert by now, so this new found life would be easy to conceal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/Dracula\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-456\" alt=\"Dracula-S1x10-Fangs\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Fangs.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Fangs.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Fangs-256x139.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Fangs-320x174.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Fangs-400x217.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Dracula S1x10 - Mina and Dracula must make a decision\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/Dracula\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-473\" alt=\"`Dracula S1x10 - Mina and Dracula must make a decision\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275-400x266.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275-256x170.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/NUP_155267_0275.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> The ending of the episode is a good one. Among the chaos, death and destruction, love has been found again. As I had mentioned again, that is the driving factor behind Dracula\u2019s quest, finding his lost love again, and exacting revenge on the ones that took that love from him. I fear that what is happening between Grayson and Mina is only a manifestation of what he has longed for and the words that Jayne said to him will soon come true. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As much as Mina is Mina, I have a feeling that Grayson will want Ilona back and that once he realizes that Mina is NOT Ilona, all hell will break lose again. If memory serves the ONLY way that he can be truly happy is if he is once and for all reunited with his beloved in the afterlife. Thus the happy ending, as odd as it may be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/Dracula\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-457 aligncenter\" alt=\"Dracula-S1x10-Finally together again\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Finally-together-again-400x217.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Finally-together-again-400x217.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Finally-together-again-256x139.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Finally-together-again-320x174.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/dracula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dracula-S1x10-Finally-together-again.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The very last scene of Van Helsing taking out his vampire killing kit is great, especially when he finally reveals to Harker who Grayson really is.
