Episode Summary
 
A beautiful vampire named Bianca comes back into Harry's life to call in an old debt and she drags Harry into a tangled web of undead drugs and warring Vampire factions. Events escalate to the point where even the highest levels of the High Council take an interest and Harry may very well be forced to betray Bianca to save himself.

Episode Notes
 
This is the first appearance of Elder Mai, a leader in the High Council.
 
The Hockey Stick:

This is the first time you actually see Harry use the hockey stick (his wizard's staff) in a fight.
 
This is the first time you see Morgan with his sword.
 
Shield of the Trinity (Scutum fidei):

At the beginning of the episode Bianca asks Harry to turn the shield on his wall around inferring that it disturbed her. Shield of the Trinity (Scutum fidei) is a medieval Christian Symbol. This shows that while the vampires in this episode don't turn to ash when they are killed for the second time, they do still have a problem with religious symbolism.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Harry: (narrating) What is it about bad girls? They lie, cheat, won't suck you blood even when you beg them to. But for some reason no matter how badly they treat us we still can't walk away
 
Bob: You didn't kill her?
Harry: No I didn't kill her.
Bob: You will regret it.
Harry: You love this don't you?
Bob: What?
Harry: Me saying you're right.
Bob: Oh... very much, and one can never really hear it enough.
Harry: God, I am such an idiot.
Bob: No argument here.
Harry: She used me.
Bob: That bitch.
Harry: I lead her to Clive, she kills Clive. The guy didn't even do anything.
Bob: How I loath her.
 
Harry: (narrating) Ancient Mai, the High Council's top dog. She only comes out to play when there's blood on the ground. Hopefully not my blood.
 
Bob: God, I am doomed.
Harry: Yeah you're doomed! You live in a skull. Now shut up and get in it!
Bob: All right. (whispers) But at least take some precaution. You can't trust her.
Bianca: Bob? I can hear you.
 
Bianca: I have a very big problem.
Harry: That's next door... we're small to medium problems here.
 
 
Episode References
 
Natalie: Nice to meet you, Mr Wizard.

Mr. Wizard's World was a educational science show that ran from 1983 to 1991 on the Nickelodeon channel and was the precursor for shows like Bill Nye the Science Guy among others.
 
Harry: (after watching Bianca break Arvin's neck.) Wow. You know it's funny. I... I always think that they're going to go up in flames, you know. Hollywood.

This refers to many popular movies like Blade (1998) or Underworld (2003) where the Vampires either go up in flames when they die for the second time or disintegrate into ash. Also breaking a vampire's neck in traditional mythology is not enough to kill them. The must be staked, exposed to sunlight, or their heads cut completely from their bodies.
 
 
Analysis
 
Bad Blood:

A phrase that means having mutual negative feelings and harboring a grudge, it takes on an extra meaning when dealing with Vampires.
