| 13 | * BigBad: The Vampire, Beecher's EnemyWithin. |
| 14 | * DownerEnding: Since TheHeroDies. [[spoiler:The Vampire is stopped, but]] at the cost of Beecher's life, leaving his daughter fatherless and his nurse presumably jobless. [[spoiler:It's also likely that Beecher's reputation will be ruined, since he transforms back to himself as he dies.]] |

| 16 | * JekyllAndHyde: Beecher is addicted to pills that make him into a vampire on ingestion. |
| 17 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: This one is a lot like a werewolf--being hairier than its human form--and is made by taking pills made from a vampire bat's blood. Its bite destroys tissue, melting a victim's flesh within days. |
