1	Carmilla finally puts her plan into action. Hector has the Bishop's reanimated corpse bless the river the castle appeared in the middle of, causing the demon-tainted corpse to slowly burn in the now holy water. Dracula's forces are surprised to see Carmilla's on the shore as they march out to take the city, but even more surprised when they take out the bridges, dumping them into the water, destroying them instantly.
2
3	Meanwhile, Trevor fights off the demonspawn, as Alucard tries to use the mirror to locate the freshly teleported castle, and Sypha finishes the spell.
4
5	Just as Carmilla's forces enter Castlevania, Alucard finds it and Sypha's able to hijack its travel mechanism, causing it to materialize onto the Belmont estate. The trio cheer as, back in Braila, Carmilla looks on in confusion before quietly slipping away with Hector in tow.
6	----
7	!! Tropes for this episode include:
8	* CameBackStrong: One of the Demonspawn is the Bald Priest from season 1 who Trevor directly or indirectly cut the eyes out of. His body is seen amongst the corpses that Carmilla orders to be deployed and his demon form has bandages over its useless eyes. While he was one of the stronger priests that Trevor fought, as a demon he's far faster and more powerful than he was as a human, he even has a magical staff.
9	* DidntSeeThatComing: Carmilla's coup is undone when Dracula's castle just disappears (along with a large chunk of her forces).
10	-->'''Carmilla:''' What the fuck just happened!?
11	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Sypha realizes mid explanation that teleporting Dracula's castle on top of the library might have been not the greatest idea and they should leave quickly.
12	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: When Castlevania disappears, the holy water in the river ends up sploshing Carmilla's troops. It then floods the front hall, taking out what little foothold she had inside.
13	* ImprovisedWeapon: Belmont improvises two weapons by cutting a Demonspawn's staff in half and using both ends as stakes. He even lampshades that he's fighting with a piece of wood.
14	* SpannerInTheWorks: Castle Dracula's flailing about the city as Sypha remotely attempts to exert her will on its [[EternalEngine movement engine]] ends up sending a surging wave through the city when it lands in the blessed river, soaking all of Carmilla's troops in the blessed river water as well. This effectively ruins Carmilla's coup plans; [[HoistByHisOwnPetard fittingly]], by the very blessed river that was instrumental to Carmilla's plot.
15	* TeleportSpam: [[GeniusLoci Castle Dracula]] doesn't take kindly to some unfamiliar hand attempting to tamper with its movement engine. When Sypha trys to remotely bring Castle Dracula to the lands near Belmont Keep, it flails about the city that the vampires were attempting to raze doing this.
