History WMG / WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019

In spite of Nandor's would-be HeroicSacrifice to save Guillermo in Episode 7, the familiar has been showing a lot of resentment toward his master. It rather rightfully so, given that it was [[ForWantOfANail because of Nandor's orders]] that Guillermo accidentally killed the Baron, something that has left him with a lot of obvious trauma. Meanwhile, Nadja has shown genuine care and even respect for Guillermo in Episodes 3 and 5--and she now has a new vampire, Jenna, to train. [[http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/20190417fx01/ The official listing for Episode 8]] says Nadja will train Jenna on "[taking] her first victim". What could happen is that Jenna will feed on Guillermo, then either she or Nadja (probably the latter, given that Jenna might not have a vial of her own blood ready yet) will make Guillermo drink vampire blood. Jenna learns how to hunt, Guillermo finally gets the one thing he always wanted, and everybody's happy. Further support for the idea: the B-plot of the episode is going to be Nandor-centric, meaning Guillermo will already be intrinsically tied to the plot.

* They kept him out of the loop to avoid being drained.

** Before you ask "What about the wall-knock clues?"...why would Collin need a whole hidden room of his stuff unless he knew he'd need to "find" it one day? The housemates are, after all, very aware of the camera crew watching and recording a good chunk of their lives--Collin could have easily fooled them as well to keep up the sanctity of the long con.

** As of season 4, no one has turned Guillermo.

* Confirmed that Colin paid all the bills in the Season 4 premier, although it's not stated whether that's the ''only'' reason the others lived with him.

** Now that Guillermo is revealed to be a [[VampireHunter Van Helsing]], this seems pretty unlikely as [[BecauseDestinySaysSo he appears to be destined to kill the vampires. Or at the very least, the blood-sucking ones.]]

[[WMG: The character introduced in the very last scene of season three will be named...]]
* Robin Colinson. Laszlo will re-check the Council records to try to account for the baby energy vampire's emergence, and will discover that Colin Robinson's lineage have been alternating between one name and the other each century, over and over, for as far back as records exist.

In the pilot episode, when Laszlo and Nadja are talking about his village being affected by leprosy & the plague, Laszlo specifically states that he also contracted leprosy, but that it "couldn't be seen," indicating that it was on a part of his body generally covered completely. In a later episode, when Sean asks everyone to take their shoes off in his house, Laszlo's response is a brusque "I'm not taking my shoes off for anyone," a very pointed reaction for such a simple request. In yet another episode, Guillermo suggests that Laszlo change his shoes when they're hunting for the Sire, and Laszlo immediately retorts with, "Why don't you get fucked?" Laszlo seems to have some kind of insecurity around his feet specifically, which suggests that the leprosy he mentioned in the pilot might have been localized only to his feet, thus why he refuses to ever take his shoes off.

With Colin Robinson's multiple mentions of having a normal human family, and even a grandmother that he remembers fondly, combined with the reveal that energy vampires continue their legacies by essentially hitting a reset button and continuing life from day one, it would make sense. They'd implant themselves in a normal human family (or perhaps be dropped off by another trusted vampire) and grow as a normal, if dull person. Then, they'd eventually discover, realize, or even be told about their energy vampirism by their trusted vampire, and develop from there.

* ...And it's because Colin Robinson remembers ''everything'' that ever happened to him as the child Colin. What better way to collect on people's negative energy than by hiding annoying behaviour behind the "I'm just a kid!" excuse? Maybe he's more powerful this time around and can feed on heartache and nostalgia as well as annoyance and boredom now.

[[WMG: At some point the documentary will air and it will be revealed that none of the vampires show up on screen.]]
