** Carl also deserves credit for, whether accidentally or not, getting the vampires to expose their weakness. He waves a bottle of holy water, and Verona swoops out of nowhere to get rid of it, confirming to him and Van Helsing that it will work, and Carl quickly takes note of the nearby church.

* Anna proves GenreSavvy when Aleera scares her and Carl in the room with the werewolf cure, which they're trapped in. As Aleera is too busy cackling, she pushes the jar containing the cure over, burning Aleera's face with the acid and then throwing the remaining acid onto the bars to melt them, sending Carl off to help Van Helsing, knowing Aleera will be too occupied with her to stop him.
** She also does an impressive run up the wall to grab a torch, backflip onto her feet (in heels!) to brandish the torch at Aleera.
** And when Carl is trapped on the bridge between towers, Anna swings from one tower to the next, having Carl throw the cure to her and catching it in mid-air. Let it also be said that she jumps from one cable to another and ''then'' catches the cure. She only doesn't make it to the tower because Aleera intercepts her.

* Aleera - who at this point is the last Bride after both her sisters were killed by Van Helsing - shows that the gloves have come off and captures Anna singlehandedly from right under Van Helsing's nose. She also seems GenreSavvy enough to fly high in the sky to avoid being shot at and wisely goes over a ravine to prevent them being able to follow her.
** Van Helsing also pulls his gun on her in town and she doesn't bat an eyelid, and shuts him down with a wave of her finger - reminding him that if he kills her, Dracula still has Anna and can add her to their ranks easily.
** It has to be said, Elena Anaya's entire performance as Aleera is brilliant - and she gave the role her all, even studying the movements of bats and persuading the director to incorporate many of her ideas. She's clearly having a ball playing her, and it's no surprise she's an EnsembleDarkhorse to many fans.
