Synopsis
Dominique asks Blade's help for Charisma Desiree. Their talk is interrupted when Blade is attacked by an eavesdropping vampire, Yves St. Monroe. Blade is slightly chagrined when Dominique saves him from St. Monroe's vicious attack. Meanwhile the Desirees are visited by self-made vampire Michael Morbius, who's come to ask Newton's wife Zinnea where her cousin Martine, his one-time betrothed, was, as she and her daughter could use his help. Despite Newton's threats, Morbius promises to remain in the area and try to help Charisma, who's mixed up in something very unhealthy.
