The attack on Mattie results in an uproar: Mattie knocks out Perry, Laura manages to save her from being killed, which results in Laura almost being strangled by the angry vampire. Later at night, Carmilla tells Laura in confidence about Mattie's only weakness in case she has to defend herself and her ex-lover isn't around.
Laura and her gang just returned to Silas University - turns out fleeing the scene of an epic battle isn't as easy as it sounds. After Carmilla scored them some swish new digs, and LaFontaine being a bit annoying, the time has come for the two love-birds to enjoy the sweetness of young tender romance - until Perry shows up completely freaked out.
Perry just had a horrific encounter that left her all covered in blood, which is now dropping on the ancient carpet: The student newspaper staff at the "Voice of Silas" was brutally slayed dead. Laura realizes that fleeing the campus wasn't the right thing to do; and since there's no one else left to bring light to this, it's her duty to stay and solve the mysterious crime.
