But had she looked at it, would it have made a difference since their goal is to find Vanessa, not retire to a safe haven at the top of a mountain. It would be nice if he let her know she’s forgiven, but that will have to wait.ĭreams, or perhaps even shared visions, become part of the narrative, and when Doc finds one of the red balloons, in a way it’s fitting that she puts the piece of paper into her pocket without first looking at it. “I liked you better when you were a vampire,” he tells her, and she fires right back, “I like you better when you were a man.” Doc has become that close friend who cares less about her own well being and lives to save Axel by reuniting him with Vanessa. The dynamic between Doc (Rukiya Bernard) and Axel (Jonathan Scarfe) as they march to find the woman who can save him from life as a vampire ramps up, but the frustration with his condition and the knowledge that he has forgiven the woman who once left him for dead, leave him uncertain about his future. The key supporting cast of Van Helsing returns in “Save Yourself” to provide some meaningful plot development, and the mantra of “find Vanessa” continues to resonate among them. Even Troy recognizes that despite her insistence that she wants to be alone, Vanessa too “needs somebody.” However, he’s not the only one able to see beneath the veneer she’s placed around her. It’s especially revealing when she convinces him to stay behind and help protect the Johnsons, a request he thankfully ignores indicating that he’s quickly learning to read her subconscious wishes. The budding relationship she has with Julius continues to develop into one of the most compelling storylines, especially when we consider how far he’s come and how far he’s willing to go to protect Vanessa. Christopher Heyerdahl has been fantastic as Sam, but the character’s time has come. What else does she think will stop him? I’m not going to harp on this, and I understand that from a narrative perspective this allows Sam to remain in the picture, but there are plenty of compelling storylines in play to keep Vanessa and the audience engaged. “He couldn’t have survived that.” Really? You shot him multiple times with a shotgun, stabbed him several times, hit him at least twice with a hand ax, none of which seemed to have any real effect, and you’re surprised that a fall out of a window didn’t stop him? Given everything Vanessa’s seen and the hardened warrior she’s become, why she wouldn’t immediately go outside to the fallen Sam and cut his head off is troubling. They both react with shock and disbelief that Sam no longer lies where they last saw him after his plunge from the steeple. Vanessa and Julius leave the church, and while it’s unclear how much time has elapsed, it seems to be more than a few minutes. The scene is shot beautifully through a combination of slow motion movement and high overhead angles reinforcing Sam’s refusal to allow Vanessa to get what she wants.

And then to further manipulate Vanessa, Sam takes away her chance to achieve some sort of satisfaction when he swan dives out the church window and lands on the ground outside the church. After Julius fires multiple shotgun blasts directly into him, Sam just keeps coming, unfazed by the bursts, and even manages to fire off a few digs about Julius’ mother and her last moments.

As much as I love Christopher Heyerdahl, it may be time for Sam to go. How fitting that Vanessa tracks Sam to a church, setting the stage for her to put this part of the past behind her and move on, but the six minute segment replete with wicked moves from both combatants, ends with a problematic resolution. Of course, Vanessa’s mortality remains somewhat of a mystery. There’s no indication Vanessa has a death wish, but her insistence that she do this alone implies that taking Sam down, whether she survives or not, is her only way of finding peace after Dylan’s death. He tells her he wants to play “like the old days,” and despite knowing his true nature, she complies. She throws her hatchet into his back and then follows the blood trail he deliberately leaves allowing him to choose the field of battle.

Though she clearly understands Sam’s demented persona and the threat he poses, Vanessa allows herself to be drawn into his game of cat and mouse played out over several locales.
