Van Helsing Season 2 Episode 1
Whats wrong with hope?
Never underestimate a mother in pursuit of her child.
Unfortunately, for Vanessa, as one journey ends, another more arduous one begins.
Ironically, the bloodlust here is all Vanessa.
Buffy Summers shes not.
No matter how many times he disappoints her, she forgives him.
Having heard Dylan rebuke her mother, we have to wonder whether Vanessa sees herself in Mohamad.
What is she, and what is her importance to Dmitris plan for world domination?
There is precedence for the existence of the dhampir in Slavic folklore, but this answer seems too straightforward.
Now, of course, he could be lying, but she cant take that risk.
Her newfound, superhuman strength now coincides with the darkness that continues to creep over her.
At some point we have to consider how much Vanessa can possibly be expected to endure.
But its Dylan that makes a move here.

Fuck the dark, she tells him, but her words speak volumes beyond the literal.
Has she resigned herself to the creature she instinctively recognizes shes become?
How dark is she willing to go in her quest to save her daughter?
But in any conflict of this magnitude, things are rarely as cut and dried as they may appear.
Nevertheless, never underestimate the human race.
Has Sheema sold her soul in return for some peace of mind?
And that he introduces himself as Phil should not be overlooked; he knows who he is.
