Nick is back on lovers' terms with Juliette, who remains eager to learn about ferals. Nick must however give priority to the violent crime wave caused by zombies. As he feared, they are created by the voodoo 'baron', who sets a trap as instructed. Captain Sean Renard informs Nick about his mistrusting meeting with visiting European royal half-brother Eric and the counterfeit documents Eric had prepared at the castle. Still in Vienna, Adalind, poisoned by Pech to switch appearances, is seen roughly overtaken by the gypsy witch's family Popescu. Rosalee prepares a zombie antidote, but once tracked down in the port, the superior zombie numbers corner down Nick's party.
