Guillermo has a visitor from overseas.

After the inspired hilarity of last week’s satire of home makeover shows, the series picks up on the key threads of this season and takes them to a darker place. Things were going a little too well for our Staten Island vamps and now they need to suffer consequences.

The nightclub has lost its star act, Baby Colin, Nadja is on the sauce (liquor blood), Colin has hit puberty and Nandor has stolen Guillermo’s boyfriend. But amidst this downward spiral there’s still room for hilarity, from an endless stream of horror pop star pubs to an act from Le Cirque Erotique who can self-fellate!

Verdict: A sobering penultimate episode to bring the vampires down to earth, but mirth is never too far away. 7/10
