The episode begins with a flashback to Vienna in the year 1999. Mitchell is tied to a chair. It seems that this is the beginning of him coming off blood. He asks how long drying out is going to take, and Carl tells him that to do it properly, maybe six months.
At the bar, Saul and Annie are flirting. George walks in, and Annie introduces him to Saul and Hugh. Annie and Saul are clearly focused on each other, and from the way that Hugh is looking at Annie, it is clear that he is very interested in her.
Back at the hospital, Mitchell is in an elevator with Lucy, the woman he is interested in. He tells her that he does not know how to talk to her and that he knows he came on too strong the other day. Lucy assures him that the goldfish was the perfect gesture, and that this is the speed that she is comfortable with. Lucy asks him to go for a coffee, and he says that he is a huge fan of coffee. When he asks where she is going, Lucy tells him that the paramedics just brought in a body, and that she has to go and declare it.
At the body, Lucy notices that there are puncture wounds on the neck. The cop in attendance says that it is probably a gay thing. Once again, I see that we have returned to homophobia on the show. Mitchell listens as he hears that the body has been drained of blood, and Lucy says somewhere in Bristol there is a gay vampire as the cop laughs saying, "I bet he would like to see my full moon."
Back at the house, George brings Nina breakfast in bed. He brings her a large selection of food and a cigarette, because he has given up the fight on that one. He gets up to leave, and she asks him to stay because she would feel weird sitting there eating on her own.
In his home, Saul walks in and turns on the television. He starts to feel out of sorts and takes some medication. He hears his name being called and it turns out that, Sir Terry Wogan is talking to him from the television. He says that he needs to talk to Saul, because he thinks that he and Annie make a smashing couple. When Saul suggests that there is a hidden camera somewhere, Sir Terry Wogan tells him that it is about the corridor. Sir Terry Wogan says, "Until you had your little accident, I can't say that I paid too much attention, but the minute you walked into that pub, and saw that lovely girl, I knew I had to lend a hand. Terrence I thought, lend a hand. And I'm saying tell her about the accident and all of the interesting things that you saw. It will make you seem special and vulnerable. The ladies go potty for that. Your face, you look like you have seen a ghost."
Back at the house, Mitchell is looking for George. The scene then switches briefly to a recording room where someone is clearly listening to every word that is being said. Mitchell tells Nina, that there is stuff that they can teach her, and she says that she is fine and is just going to move onto plan B. George tells her that he is making sheppards pie, and Nina responds saying that she won't be home 'till late and he answers that it is not a problem, and that she should just pop it in the microwave.
As soon as Nina leaves, Mitchell tells George about the dead body that came into the hospital that day. "The thing is I know him", Mitchell says. "One of the times I tried to stop drinking blood properly, I was living with this vampire, Carl. He's been clean for like twenty years". George being George, immediately gets fussy because Mitchell has lived with someone before him. "Of course I've lived with other people," Mitchell says. "Do you think I've waited the last eighty years for you and your three different types of upholstery cleaner to show up? Anyway, after me, he lived with this other guy, Dan a human, and that's the body that came in." George asks if Carl killed Dan, and Mitchell tells him that Dan and Carl were lovers, and that he does not believe that Carl hurt him. Okay, I have to take a pause to point out that it only took Being Human U.K.,7 episodes to finally getting around to introducing a gay character. The writers had no problem with including all sorts of homophobia before this, so this latest addition is hardly something to celebrate, especially considering that it begins with the death of a gay man. Mitchell tells George that Carl has disappeared, and that anyone could have killed Dan. George wants to know how it got to the point where there is a body.
Saul returns to the bar and he tells Annie that he almost died. He says that he had a car accident and that he fell asleep at the wheel. Carl says that he was the only one who was hurt - in fact, he was technically dead for almost 6 minutes. He tells Annie that when he died there was a bright white corridor and that it was frightening. He says that there were men with sticks and rope. Annie tells him that she saw it a few years ago when she was attacked. He takes her hand and she says, "For years I have wanted to talk to someone about this. What on earth made you tell me?" Annie leans forward and kisses him on the cheek and he smiles.
There is a knock at the door and its Carl. Carl tells Mitchell that he had been dreaming about blood and it frightened him. He says that Dan didn't even look frightened, he looked disappointed. Mitchell tells him that this is going to take a bit of handling, and offers to let Carl stay at the house. George asks why he didn't recruit him, and Dan says, "because he was kind, and if I had, when he came back, he may not have been kind anymore." George tells Mitchell that Carl is not staying because he is trying to create some semblance of normality. "Mitchell it's not just your house, it's not just your decision", George says but Mitchell tells him that it won't take long.
The mysterious Kemp is kneeling in prayer, when Mark the technician walks in holding a transcript from the house. Mark tells Kemp that there is something that he should look at. They now know that Nina is not just a sympathizer, and that she is in fact a werewolf. Mark wants to know why they have not been contained. Kemp says this is an opportunity to study them, and that this the first time a ghost, werewolf and vampire have cohabitated. Kemp still believes however that beasts should be put in cages. Mark points out that the next full moon is in 20 days, and that they don't have a type 3.
At the bar, Annie is going on and on about Saul. George asks her if she is being careful, and responds that she is a bit old and dead for contraception concerns. George points out that she already has two blokes chasing after her and that this could get messy. Annie asks George what he means when he says two blokes, and he responds Hugh and Saul. Annie tells him that Hugh is like a brother to her and George responds, "Oh promise me you won't ever tell him that. Why not just stab him in the face. A brother, Annie, the only man who would want to hear that is your actual brother." Annie denies once again that Hugh sees her that way, and George concedes the point saying that Saul clearly does. Annie tells George that she and Saul have a lot in common, and that she cannot spend the rest of eternity spectating. Is there anyone George will not control? Annie asks again if he is sure about Hugh, and George responds, "I know that look. I've given people that look, usually while they are giving that look to someone taller." Annie smiles and says to herself, "I've still got it."
Nina walks in and Carl is eating the shepherds pie. He tells her that he is a friend of Mitchell's and that he is going to stay out of her way. Carl asks if Mitchell told her why he's there and then says that she is not in any danger. "You've killed someone, it sounds pretty dangerous to me", Nina responds. He tells her that she doesn't understand, and then adds don't be too hard on George. Nina stops him, asking how this became his business and Carl admits that it is not. Nina says, "two months ago I lost control, the worst that could happen was (she sighs), but now, we shouldn't be in houses, in streets where there's children". Carl tells her that there are safe guards that you can put in place, but Nina says that, "things go wrong. Christ knows that we're both proof of that. I'm radioactive now, that's how that feels". Carl continues to eat and says, "trust me, he knows what he's done." Nina sits at the table with Carl and they finish the sheppards pie.
