Young Dracula

- Season 4

(2012)

Vlad is determined to make the ceasefire between vampires and slayers work, but faces opposition from all sides: the Vampire High Council, the Slayers' Guild, and even the Count and Ingrid would rather go back to their old ways.

Vlad and Bertand round up the street fangs and set up the Revamp training program to teach coexistence. Hoping to gain a place on the Vampire High Council, Ingrid helps the Count and Ramanga in their plots to end the ceasefire.

Vlad must find a way to get out of his engagement before the Blood Tea Ceremony, but his attempts to make her look bad have no effect on his father and Ramanga. With blood supplies running low, it becomes harder to maintain peace.

Miss McCauley wants one of the Revamp kids to join the school senate, so Vlad arranges a quiz to choose the candidate, but Malik and the mysterious shape-shifter have plans of their own.

Bertrand investigates Ryan's murder, but quickly discovers that almost everyone had both motive and opportunity. With help from the Slayers' heat sensors in the school, he begins to suspect a shape-shifter is involved.

Ramanga and Adze plan to use an ancient, forbidden weapon to kill Vlad after the Blood Binding ceremony. Although Bertrand suspects the truth, Vlad will not trust him without evidence.

Erin is hovering between life and death and can only be saved by becoming a vampire, so Vlad must decide whether to bite her and risk her hating him forever. Malik claims that he is the Count's eldest son, but will the Count accept him?

As Vlad struggles to overcome his blood thirst, the Count is disappointed in him and declares a duel to the death between Vlad and Malik to decide who will be heir.

Trapped in the attic with the sun coming in, the Count tells Malik and Ingrid how his brother died and confesses that he abandoned Malik's mother. Bertrand finally finds proof about the shape-shifter, but cannot persuade Vlad to listen.

Mina is preparing the slayers for war, and Jonno can only persuade her to call it off if Vlad will slay Erin. Determined to make peace work at any price, and fearing the life that Erin will lead as a vampire, Vlad agrees to Jonno's plan.

George Lansley, new member of the Vampire High Council, claims to support the peace treaty, but Ingrid discovers that he has bought his way onto the Council using blood harvested from a breather farm.

Vlad finally discovers that Bertrand had been right about Elizabeta. Renfield brews a potion to stop the shape-shifter, but they soon find that it's not so easy to track her down.

As the poison takes hold, the Count starts hallucinating, and it's a race against time for Renfield as he tries to brew an antidote. Meanwhile, Elizabeta, Malik and Erin try to destroy Vlad and Ingrid.
