When a collegue of Creem's arrives with a bag full of cash and talking about some containers at the docks, Gus decides he wants to see what's inside. They open the containers to discover dozens of vamps. Luckily, the hooded strigoi soldier arrives in time to take the creature out and abduct Gus. What's he want with the gangbanger anyway? Back at the pawnshop, Eichhorst and his minions attack with Bolivar infecting Nora's mother. Fortunately, Setrakian has a secret passage through the meat locker. However, before leaving Nora finds the strength to release her mother. Witnessing this decapitation takes Setrakian back to Albania 1967, where after a failed attempt to kill the Master his wife was infected. That's right, the heart in the jar belongs to Miriam, Abraham's wife. In the present, with Eichhorst about to break into the basement Setrakian says his goodbyes to the heart. In the final moments of the episode the Master comes to Palmer, slices a finger open and pours a few drops of white blood into the old man's mouth.
