Young Dracula

- Season 2

(2007)

Vlad wants peace between vampires and slayers, but no-one else agrees with him. The Count kidnaps Jonno to lure the slayer in, but Van Helsing has had the same idea and kidnapped Vlad and Ingrid.

The Count is looking forward to a visit from his brother and his family, but is shocked to discover that Ivan the Bloodthirsty is now living blood-free and calling himself Harvey.

Boris and Vlad discover that there may be a cure for vampirism. Jonno and Van Helsing plant clues about the Blood Mirror, which will return the whole family to their mortal state if it is smashed.

Shy, clumsy Boris faces his destiny and becomes a powerful vampire. Despite Vlad's hopes that he won't become evil, the new, stronger Boris uses the Blood Mirror to drain his father and the Count of their powers.

When he learns that Renfield's father invented a potion to cure vampirism, Vlad puts his alchemy lessons to use and resurrects the old man. But Renfield Senior is more interested in getting his revenge on the Count.

Vlad's mother is back and she's pregnant. The Count decides that the new baby should replace Vlad as his son and heir, but Vlad suspects that the father may actually be Magda's werewolf boyfriend, Patrick.

Vlad suffers from a recurring nightmare in which the Branagh family are trying to slay him. In the dream world, he meets the Grand High Vampire who tells him that he is the Chosen One and must embrace his destiny.

It's Valentine's Day and the Count brews up a love potion, Ingrid is horrified to discover she's falling in love with a breather, while Vlad and Robin compete for the affections of the new girl at school.

Vlad and Robin visit the museum to find the Staff of Carpathia which they believe can cure vampirism. The Count leaves his body to sneak past a security guard, but accidentally ends up in Van Helsing's body.

On her sixteenth birthday, Ingrid is looking forward to facing the Blood Mirror for her transformation, but has second thoughts when she finds that her reflection is even more evil than she is and wants to kill Will.

When the police arrive at the castle asking about a missing man, Vlad fears the worst and sets about trying to make his father look innocent. Ingrid takes advantage of a total eclipse to sneak out to the cinema with Will.

The Grand High Vampire accuses the Count of breaking Vampire Law. If found guilty, he will be sentenced to death. Things get even worse when the Grand High Vampire is murdered and it looks as if the Count may be responsible.

Vampires gather at the castle to select a new Grand High Vampire, but when the first candidates crumble to dust, thoughts turn to an ancient prophecy stating that when the bloodlines weaken, only the Chosen One can wear the crown.
