Synopsis[]
Ana and Daimon fight to save a soul but only Yen can be victorious. Gabriella’s newfound perspective challenges Daimon's beliefs, creating riffs amongst the group. Victoria unites with Daimon and Ana, but their victory comes at a cost.
Plot[]
Twenty years ago, young Daimon Helstrom considers jumping off a bridge to his death as he remembers the day his sister was taken away from him. Young Daimon jumps but stops just before he hits the water. He hears his father's voice telling him that Daimon will always be his son. Then Daimon falls into the water.
In present-day Portland, Oregon, Daimon's body is found by doctors and the paramedics and is seemingly pronounced dead.
Whereas Raum gets knocked out by Dr. Hastings and Victoria Helstrom. Magoth finally wakes up and joins the others just as Rosetti leaves in Dr. Hastings's car. Caretaker arrives with his piece of the dagger that he stabs Magoth with. Raum uses his power to impale Caretaker, but Dr. Hastings runs in front of it. Ana arrives to find the EMTs taking Dr. Hastings away. Victoria and Ana Helstrom talk about Daimon and the aforementioned dagger.
The mother and daughter duo make it back to Saint Teresa Center for Mental Health, only to find out that Daimon is in the morgue. Victoria can not believe it.
Down in the morgue, a doctor is attacked.
Rosetti finds herself at a church saying her prayers when the Archbishop arrives. He does not seem to take her pregnancy well.
Basar while using Daimon's body arrives at a carnival ground to meet Raum and Magoth. He is not happy that Rosetti is not with them.
Later, Rosetti finds herself surrounded by members of the Blood after she apparently asked for their help. Smith blames Daimon for Rosetti's condition. She is convinced that Daimon is not trying to save Rosetti and is exactly like his dad.
Ana and Victoria discuss what happened to Daimon, Dr. Hastings almost dying, and how Dad thought the two siblings were special. Ana explains that Dad told her this the day in the basement when he tried to set her on fire. He was going to show her how she is like him, but then Daimon and Victoria arrived. Victoria asks how Ana got away from Dad. She never did. He caught her, buried her alive so she could learn real suffering, but knew she would survive it. She did and realized that she really is special. Victoria hugs her daughter, but the moment is interrupted by Yen who claims that he has an eyeball in his throat.
Elsewhere, Rosetti wants to believe that Daimon could possibly exorcize the baby but Smith instead wants her to forget the man. Thus, Rosetti has to choose between having the baby, which would lead to the baby being in a coma, or doing things the old fashioned way.
Ana and Yen meet up with Caretaker at the hospital to show him Yen's new marks on his arm. As it turns out, Yen is now a keeper. He does not want the job but it is too late and he can not change his fate. The group also finds out that this latest development could ultimately prove useful in helping out Daimon.
Basar while still possessing Daimon's body finds Ana praying. She thinks that Daimon is still alive. Magoth and Raum come in, but the Blood and Archbishop show up shortly thereafter. Rosetti does not want a fight so she leaves with the three demons.
In Dr. Hastings's office Caretaker informs Ana and Victoria that Rosetti left with the demons but the Blood followed them to their location. Yen meanwhile seems to have a Keeper's intuition of sorts when it comes to knowing how to fix the dagger. Thus, he reveals that it will need Ana's fire and blood to be mended. She is at first reluctant, but Victoria convinces her to do it.
The three demons and Rosetti arrive at the carnival site, which appears to be abandoned. She is refusing to give birth and tries to appeal to Daimon, but Basar informs her that she should let that idea go. Mother will wage a war against all mankind according to him.
They bring her back to the room. Ana, with the help of Victoria, puts the pieces together but not without experiencing the pain of every person who has ever been killed or hurt by the aforementioned dagger.
Afterwards, Victoria checks on Caretaker at the hospital. He feels uneasy about Ana and a now Keeper Yen going after Rosetti and Daimon on their own, but he stays at the hospital. He opens up about how he did not want to know all the details about the supernatural until he had to. It was when he came home after taking a trip to see the world. He found out his little brother was possessed; marked by the same demon that marked Victoria. Unfortunately, his little brother did not make it. Their talk is cut short by the surgeon. It appears that Dr. Hastings was revived twice during surgery and is unstable.
At the abandoned carnival site somewhere in Oregon, Rosetti is ready to give birth but not without giving a few words to Basar. The demon wants her to understand that no one will come to save her. Luckily, Ana and Yen arrive at the spot then split up to look for Daimon and Rosetti.
Basar senses their presence, and then leaves to handle them while Rosetti is crying out in pain. Basar lures Ana into a creepy haunted house.
Rosetti gets breathing coaching through Magoth while elsewhere Dr. Hastings struggles with staying stable. In spite of what she was told, the nun is doing all she can not to have a baby but it appears that her efforts are in vain.
Ana finally gets to fight Basar. She ends up getting stabbed but is able to get Daimon back for a second. He begs for her to kill him. Yen shows up with his new Keeper powers that hold Daimon at bay. In this moment, the dagger extends to a long fiery flame in Ana's hand. She stabs Daimon in the back and pulls out the part that is Basar, which subsequently turns into ashes. Daimon seems to be dying just as Mother makes it into the world.
The baby looks healthy but Rosetti is about to be executed when Daimon arrives, shooting the blade at each demon. Thereby killing them, before getting to Rosetti, who seems to be in a trance, saying the Lord's Prayer. Yen then takes the baby.
Alas, Dr. Hastings seems to have pulled through, and once she wakes up, she finds Caretaker beside her bed. The surgery included taking out a piece of her bad lung.
Back at the ward, Chris is watching over the baby to insure there is no evil in her. He will be doing the job with Shard at his disposal.
Daimon and Rosetti are at the hospital. He thinks that the baby could turn out fine if the two of them give her a nurturing home. However, Rosetti disagrees. She thinks that the baby needs to be killed and that she is being punished for giving into fear, questioning her faith, and giving in to temptation. She strongly believes that this is her cross to bear alone. She can not trust Daimon or his kind. Rosetti admits that she now knows that the world they know is not normal; it is evil, and she thinks he is, too. Eventually Rosetti admits to regretting the fact that she ended up at Saint Teresa Center for Mental Health.
Yen and Ana perform a ritual where she has to stick the knife into his skull.
Daimon is back at the bridge where he attempted to jump twenty years ago. He is joined by Ana, who is checking up on him. Daimon thanks her for saving him and tells her that he loves her. She actually says it back.
Later, Victoria and Ana make dinner at Daimon's place. Caretaker and Dr. Hastings arrive to join in, too. Caretaker and Ana bond over the baby while Daimon and Dr. Hastings talk. The good doctor unfortunately can not reach Gabriella, but Daimon changes the subject to her not telling him about the cancer. Victoria and Ana bring out the food. Yen has gone back to San Francisco, California to win back his boyfriend. Victoria makes a toast that touches each person at the table for what they have experienced. The Blood gets a new recruit in Rosetti. Smith and Miller look happy about that.
A month later, Yen is at a dock holding a little girl's hand when all of a sudden he feels a new being. An older looking man walks up to Yen with a smile, satisfied that he is the new Keeper. Yen instructs the little girl, Kthara, to run. The man is surprised by the name and instructs the little girl to think hard and remember her real name. Kthara remembers that she is Lily and that the older looking man's name is Papa. Papa is delighted to know she remembers that and is ready to take Lily. Yen refuses to let her go. Papa responds by taking out several people behind him. Thus, Yen gives Lily's hand to Papa. As Papa and Lily walk away, people are being taken out and Papa wants to find Lily's brother and sister to catch up.
