Biography[]
The episode begins with the protagonist, Amanda, having to work the nightshift at the hospital. She is introduced to Margot, who is under the guise of a friendly teenage girl. Margot is enthusiastic about getting to work as an orderly. Amanda's friend Felix is sent to sign in a delivery at the hospital - a coffin. While alone, Felix is stalked and bitten by a vampire and his seemingly dead body is placed in the morgue.
Amanda and her friend Colin, who is a patient at the hospital, go look for Colin's missing roommate, a boy in a wheelchair. Colin mentions the boy wanted to see the morgue, so they check there to find Felix's apparently dead body. Meanwhile, the vampire goes around feeding off of the hospital's staff and patients, turning them into his vampire henchmen. The vampiric Felix nearly attacks Amanda and Colin, before calming down and explaining that he and the others are still changing and can be saved if they kill the vampire that bit them. "Margot" appears and cheerfully explains that he picked the job at the hospital because it's, in his own words "like a candy store". He also explains that, contrary to popular belief in vampire lore, he only needs to feed every fifty years or so, though this feeding presumably needs to be several victims in one or two nights. The vampire attacks Felix while Amanda and Colin make a break for it.
Colin and Amanda come up with a plan to destroy the vampire's coffin in the hospital's incinerator. Amanda decides to lure the vampire away, and makes a run for it. Being pursued by the vampire and his minions, Amanda is chased to the hospital's roof, where "Margot" corners her. Colin struggles with the coffin and is again attacked by Felix, who is talked down by Colin, who says that Amanda is dead if they don't help her. The vampire grabs Amanda by the throat and lifts her off the roof, intending to drop her off and lick up what is left, all while laughing at her screams, only to pull her back onto the roof deciding the old fashioned way is better and prepares to bite her neck. Colin and Felix manage to push the coffin into the incinerator, and the vampire is set on fire. He struggles as he burns and falls off the hospital roof to his death.
After the vampire's death, his minions turn back to normal with no memory of what happened, except for Felix. The episode ends with everything back to normal.
