Eve of the War

In the future, the world is seen at risk of takeover by vampires. In the present, Annie, Tom and George look after George's baby Eve after Nina's murder by vampires. Despite her parentage, the child is fully human with no werewolf traits, but vampire leader Griffin still wants her dead as, according to kindly vampire archivist Regus, she will save the world from his kind. Griffin takes her but, thanks to Regus and disgruntled young vampire Dewi, she is saved. Griffin is killed, and George pays the price. On the other side of the country, a ghost called Pearl, elderly werewolf Leo, and young vampire Hal are also seen to share a house.

Following a supernatural radio announcement, Leo, Pearl and Hal arrive at Annie and Tom's to pay homage to George and Nina's baby daughter Eve, the Chosen One, who will save the world. Knowing that this means the extermination of vampires, Hal is less pleased to see her than the others but remains the only one of the three to survive when Pearl and Leo, having declared their love for each other, pass over. Hal appears to come close to killing the baby but is prevented by Tom; however, following a visit to a pawn shop by the two boys (in keeping with Leo's last wish), Fergus, the successor to Griffin, gets on their trail.

Despite protestations that isolation curbs his bloodlust, Hal is persuaded by Annie and Tom to work in the cafe with Tom, where they meet weird Goth girl Michaela. After a confrontation with Fergus, Annie seeks the help of Regus, who tells her that Eve's nemesis has a burnt arm and suggests they leave town with the baby. Before they can, vampires led by Fergus pursue Michaela, Hal and Tom from the cafe back to the house (where Hal leads his housemates in killing the vampires). Michaela is vampirised but loves it and goes off with the 400-year-old Regus. As the trio decides to stay in the house, a ghost named Kirby comes back from beyond.

She is a succubus who can cast a spell on any man she touches before draining their souls. As Adam leaves her influence to figure out how he really feels about her, vampire-hunting journalist Pete, while on his trail, makes the mistake of explaining his interest to Cutler, with fatal results.

The War Child
61 mins
Cutler greets the Old Ones led by Snow as Annie tells Alex and the boys of her meeting with Eve, who asked her to kill her. She says that she cannot and destroys Cutler when he comes to the house to harm the baby girl. Tom plans to kill the Old Ones by means of a suicide bomb, a fact which becomes known to Milo, a werewolf who is part of Snow's entourage and whom Tom rebuffs, just as Hal refuses Snow's offer to join him in his conquest of the world. Hal and Tom visit the vampires' lair with the baby, latterly joined by Annie. Snow tells her that he wants Eve but has no intention of killing her, merely keeping her hidden as she is the figurehead of resistance. As a consequence, it is down to Annie to take the drastic action needed to save civilisation and to shape her own destiny. In a coda, Mr Rook, leader of the men who disposed of Alex's corpse, also brings the filmed evidence of Tom's werewolf transformation to a vault for tidying away.
