Narrator -"Knight closes in for the kill on the next -Forever Knight-!"

- The mad bomber is still out there and Nick is determined to find him.
- The guilt is gone and Nick is ready to kick butt.
- Vachon takes Tracy to a friend's lovely abode.  --Nice plumbing!
- Vachon's friend has an appetite for strange things.  --Nice cap!
- There is concern, at the precinct, for Tracy's disappearance.
- Nick follows Tracy's lead and heads for the church. --Strange place for
  a vampire to hang!
- Nick finds the Inca at the church and has a little chat!
- In the meanwhile, Tracy demands answers from her new friend!
- The story is told of a Spanish Conquistador and an Inca warrior who
  fought to near death.  --Pizarro would have been proud.
- An Inca Sun Goddess recruits the dying, young warriors to stop senseless
  killing in the world, as their eternal mission.  --Strange mission for
  vampires!
- Nick goes to see LaCroix and demands information about the young Vachon.
- LaCroix directs him to one of the dancers who travels with Vachon's crew
  of wild and irresponsible, young vampires.  --Shake that thing!
- Nick finds Vachon and gives him one heck of a lecture. He tells him that
  he must take the responsibility of keeping Tracy safe, or else!
- Tracy returns to the precinct and tells Reese what she has found out from
  her secret informant, Vachon.
- Tracy figures out why the bomber blew up the plane and it wasn't for the
  reason that Nick and Reese thought.  --Way to go Tracy!
- Tracy gets stuck holding the bag--while Nick, Screed and the Inca fly
  around, underground, gathering up blue boxes.  --Whoooshh!
- Toronto is gonna blow if the immortals fail!
- Will Tracy get hoodooed by Vudu?
- Will Toronto blow up?
- Will LaCroix stop with the poetry?
- What about that Buddha and it's curse?
- Will Vachon grow up and quit running? (after 488 years; it's about time) 
- Will someone please introduce Screed to some cow's blood!
- Are you a resister, huh? Look into my eyes.....THUMP, THUMP!
- At last, a vampire that sleeps in a coffin. Well, at least he has one!
* I really like Nat's pink outfit.  --Yes, she is in the show.

Guest Stars: Stuart Hughes as Vudu, Damon D'Oliveira as Inca, Greg Kramer as
Screed

Review: **** Turn the lights off and get the snacks ready; it's time for a
wild and crazy night. If you like legends, curses, action, grit and lots of
vampires, you're gonna like this romp around Toronto with Nick and the new
kids on the block.

The guilt is gone and Nick isn't taking any crap from anybody! I thouht he
was going to smack LaCroix when he went to the Raven for information about
Vachon. After a sexy dancer tells him where to find Vachon, he seeks him out
and gives him a lecture that would make LaCroix proud. This scene with Nick
and Vachon is one I have wanted to see, for a long time, from a vampire of
Nichola's caliber. Nick is one scary guy in this tale of vampires and the mad
Mr. Vudu. There is so much interaction between mortals and vampires, that we
almost forget which vampire knows about which mortal and vice versa.

The big finish is gonna blow your socks off! If you don't like this episode,
it won't be because you haven't been properly entertained--you should seek
help.

And as we close, Nick and Nat discuss the loss of their friends and why they
had to die and LaCroix leaves us with a final poem.
