After a belated start, we meet the dreaded Philippe...and oh no, we kind of love him? He's manipulative and objectively terrible...but we can't help it? It's a problem. Also a problem is Diana and Matthew needing to validate their relationship ad nauseum, much ado about blood rage, and ! Matthew and Diana finally have the sex! Come for the vampire paganism, stay for Annie's Moose Truther red string.
