The Crew
Joey
Joey/Ana Lucia
Played By: Melissa Barrera
A drug addict and former army medic.
- Addiction Displacement: Joey's Sweet Tooth is a substitute for her past morphine addiction, as Frank quickly deduces.
- Back-Alley Doctor: She previously killed a patient while high. As the patient was close to Lazar, she wound up on the enemies list to be one of Abigail's victims.
- Chekhov's Skill: Her Sherlock Scan is introduced early on for how she can figure out every member of her crew. Near the end, it lets her figure out Sammy is being controlled by Abigail when she shimmies her hips as she stands up.
- Enemy Mine: She winds up teaming up with the monstrous Abigail against Frank.
- Establishing Character Moment: She first expresses shock at finding out the gang is kidnapping a child and then stopping Frank from using more brutal methods to restrain her, showing that she's got a conscience despite her shady activities.
- Everyone Has Standards: She is taken aback at learning their kidnapping target is a child and refuses to let Frank rough her up.
- Exact Words: Joey insists Dean isn't a professional, insisting he's the best getaway driver in the city, to which she points out that she never said he wasn't skilled, just that he's not a professional. Unlike the others, he's a sociopath with No Social Skills.
- Final Girl: She's the last survivor of the criminal gang.
- Foil: Joey acts as one to Frank. Both formerly had respectable careers and abandoned their families while becoming criminals but their personalities and motivations are wildly different. Joey was discharged from the military when she developed a morphine addiction after being wounded in combat and sent her son to live with his father while she tried to get clean. Frank chose to leave the police force because he realized Evil Feels Good and left his family so he could become a career criminal. Joey is generally soft spoken and Would Not Hurt A Child, including promising to make sure no one harms Abigail and threatening to shoot Peter for trying. In contrast, Frank immediately threatens Abigail when she sees his face and is the loudest and most abrasive character in the film.
- Friend to All Children: Sort of. She’s not happy when it’s revealed the group is kidnapping an (apparent) child and makes an effort to be friendly to Abigail.
- From Camouflage to Criminal: She got drummed out of the military when she got addicted to morphine, and used the skills she obtained as an Army medic to become a doctor for criminals.
- Mama Bear: Being a parent herself is largely why Joey is opposed to harming a child and it’s also what drives her moral obligation to help Abigail.
- One Last Job: Joey goes along with kidnapping a child, despite her reservations, because she needs the money to start over and hopefully be a good mother to her son.
- Recovered Addict: Joey has a morphine addiction due to an injury from her time in the army. According to Frank, she's always eating candy as a way to control her addiction.
- Sherlock Scan: She effortlessly breaks down every member of the team, figuring out that Frank is a cop, Sammy a rich kid and Rickles a former Marine just from her brief interactions with them.
- Sweet Tooth: She is seen eating sweets throughout and is enjoying a lollipop in her first scene. According to Frank, she does this to control her drug addiction.
Frank
Frank/Adam
Played By: Dan Stevens
A former detective turned criminal.
- Becoming the Mask: Frank started as an undercover cop infiltrating Lazar's organisation but apparently came to enjoy the role due to the lack of rules, leaving town to become a genuine criminal.
- Curse Cut Short: Says this a second before blowing up in blood and guts after Abigail and Joey stake him.Frank: Oh, fu- (explodes in blood and guts)
- Dirty Cop: Early on, Joey correctly guesses that Frank, one of her fellow kidnappers, used to be a detective. Abigail confirms this, stating that he was an undercover cop in her father’s organization that came to enjoy the gangster life. Ultimately, Frank willingly becomes a vampire with the goal of taking over Lazar’s organization, becoming the Final Boss that Abigail and Joey must put aside their differences to stop.
- Establishing Character Moment: During the kidnapping, Frank is totally unconcerned that their target is a young girl and brushes off Joey's objections, and when Abigail stabs him with a pencil in self-defense, Frank has to be restrained from physically striking (what he believes to be) the helpless child.
- Evil Feels Good: According to Abigail, Frank enjoyed being a criminal while undercover so much that he abandoned his family and changed his identity just so he could go back to being a gangster.
- Failed Attempt at Drama: He confidently and dramatically recites the title of the book Abigail indicated, And Then There Were None, as he pulls it from the shelf, expecting a Bookcase Passage. Unfortunately for him, she lied.
- Final Boss: He decides to become a vampire himself and usurp control from Lazar. This easily allows him to become the greatest threat in the film, forcing Abigail and Joey to fight together against him.
- Foil: Frank acts as one to Joey. Both formerly had respectable careers and abandoned their families while becoming criminals but their personalities and motivations are wildly different. Joey was discharged from the military when she developed a morphine addiction after being wounded in combat and sent her son to live with his father while she tried to get clean. Frank chose to leave the police force because he realized Evil Feels Good and left his family so he could become a career criminal. Joey is generally soft spoken and Would Not Hurt A Child, including promising to make sure no one harms Abigail and threatening to shoot Peter for trying. In contrast, Frank immediately threatens Abigail when she sees his face and is the loudest and most abrasive character in the film.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears thick glasses and is a crooked cop and all-around jerk.
- Hate Sink: Dean is too goofy, and like Rickles, doesn’t stick around long, Joey is kind to Abigail before the reveal, Sammy is funny and bubbly, Peter has a soft side and is a little too dense to be truly malicious, Abigail is Laughably Evil, and Lambert wanted to protect his family. But Frank? He’s an abrasive prick right from the get go and turns out to be a former Dirty Cop who abandoned his family when he got caught. And he only gets worse when he becomes a vampire after which he plans to force Joey to kill her son just For the Evulz.
- Impaled Palm: Abigail stabs him in the hand with a pencil.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Happens to him thrice
- Jerkass Has a Point: While a total Jerkass about it, he's completely right that Joey is just using her lack of wealth as an excuse to avoid contacting her son because she's afraid of being rejected by him. When she thinks she's about to die, Joey takes his advice and calls her son for a final goodbye.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: He's a complete asshole at the start but has a few slightly humanizing moments to imply he might not be all bad, even after the reveal of his corrupt past. Then the finale reveals he's even worse than he seems as he becomes the new villain Joey and Abigail must face together.
- Kick the Dog: While tossing Joey around, Frank gleefully decides to turn her into a puppet and force her to kill her own son just for kicks. Thankfully, Frank doesn't live long enough for that to become a possibility.
- Ludicrous Gibs: Just like Sammy and Lambert he explodes into a gory mess of blood and viscera after getting staked by Abigail and Joey.
- Never My Fault: When he goes into Abigail's room to question her and she sees his face, Frank blames Joey for taking off the girl's blindfold, even though (as Joey points out) she was supposed to be the only one going into the room in the first place.
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Frank says this after temporarily draining Abigail of her blood after he becomes a vampire, apparently killing her until she soon survives and gets a second wind.Frank: I fucking hate ballet.
- Sanity Slippage: After Lambert bites him and gives him his blood to transform him into a vampire, Frank goes off the deep end as he staked Lambert to an explosive death and decides to keep his vampire abilities, now wanting to turn Joey into a vampire as well for her to do his bidding and force her to kill her son, which forces Joey, along with Abigail, to fight together against him and ultimately kill him.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When he learns that Abigail is Lazar's daughter, he immediately wants to bail.
- Sherlock Scan: Appropriately for a former cop, he's good at reading people. After Joey deduces the backgrounds of the entire team, he replies that her constantly eating candy, wearing long sleeves and refusing alcohol point to her being a former junkie.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Nearly every word he says is a profanity.
- Tempting Fate: States that he's pretty sure they're in the clear while kidnapping Abigail, just before all the lights come on and the alarms go off.
- That Man Is Dead: After turning into a vampire, he abandons his old name and starts referring to himself only as Frank.
- Token Evil Teammate: Easily the most abrasive and unfriendly member of the group, even going so far as to become the final threat of the film.
- Transhuman Treachery: Becoming a vampire didn't make him a monster; it just let him be more monstrous than before.
- Unskilled, but Strong: When he becomes a vampire, he gains Super-Strength and a Healing Factor, much like Abigail, but he lacks her more exotic abilities like being able to control people by biting them which are skills a vampire has to spend a lot of time mastering as Abigail explains before she kills him.
- Would Hurt a Child: Aside from his willingness to use brutal force on Abigail and holding a gun to her head before finding out what she really is, he reveals he plans to make Joey his slave and force her to track down and murder her own son, for no reason beyond sheer cruelty.
Sammy
Sammy/Jessica
Played By: Kathryn Newton
A hacker.
- And I Must Scream: Sammy's last moments of autonomy have her struggle to scream for help, only for Abigail to force her to choke on her words while taking control of her body.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: She's bitten by Abigail while trying to keep her off of Peter, which allows her to turn Sammy into her puppet.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's flighty and ditzy but an excellent hacker and if you hire her for a gig, you will definitely get your money's worth.
- The Cracker: Her job on the crew.
- Dumb Blonde: She's got blonde hair and isn't overly burdened with intelligence outside of her technical skills.
- Genius Ditz: She's an excellent hacker and computer savant but not very bright otherwise, needing to be pulled away from her social media accounts during a kidnapping and stealing from very powerful people without any thought as to the consequences. She also mistakes onions for garlic at one point, defending the mistake as she doesn't cook.
- Hope Spot: After she's bitten by Abigail, Sammy fears that she'll become a vampire herself, but carefully exposing herself to sunlight reveals that she's still human... at that point. Whether due to time or Abigail waiting for a good opportunity, Sammy later turns and becomes Abigail's puppet, unable to even scream for help.
- Ludicrous Gibs: She explodes into a mess of blood and giblets after being turned and exposed to sunlight.
- Rebellious Princess: It turns out she embarked on a life of crime because she was rich and bored.
- Too Dumb to Live: She hacks bank accounts and steals lots of money from them without bothering to do her due diligence on who they belong to, one of whom ends up being the head of a massive criminal empire. Even if the dude wasn’t a centuries old master vampire, that would still be enough to get her killed.
Dean
Dean
Played By: Angus Cloud
A driver.
- Comically Missing the Point: After Sammy screams at him to Get Out! when he decides to Jump Scare her, he tries to offer her the mask he wore as a peace offering, causing her to just shout more.
- Genius Ditz: He's a very skilled getaway driver but not very bright otherwise, barely even seeming lucid much of the time.
- Getaway Driver: His role in the crew is to drive the van, and he prides himself as being the best criminal driver in town. During the escape he actually proves to know what he is doing.
- Killed Offscreen: His death is not shown, he is instead dragged offscreen. The next we see of him is his corpse being discovered by Sammy.
- Noodle Incident: It is unspecified what past action made him a target for Lazar and Abigail.
- No Social Skills: His attempts to connect or even make small talk with the others constantly fall flat, whether it's playing loud music while Sammy is working, trying to Sherlock Scan the crew, or his "prank" on Sammy.
- Off with His Head!: Meets his demise by decapitation.
- Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Played straight (unlike Peter who eventually catches on), he doesn't know who Don Rickles is.
- Sherlock Scan: Claims to be good at this, but then gives completely inaccurate readings of each team member.
- The Sociopath: Joey cold reads him as one, though Dean doesn't get much of a chance to show it before being killed.
- Troll: Dean shows a tendency to provoke others for his own amusement, such as pulling a Jump Scare on Sammy or drawing a penis on Peter's face while the other man sleeps.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Dean gets little screen time or characterization before he's offed.
Rickles
Rickles
Played By: Will Catlett
A sniper.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: His throat is torn open by Abigail. We don't see it happen on screen, but we see the gory results.
- Facial Horror: When Abigail ripped out Rickles' throat, she took a chunk of his left cheek with it, leaving his teeth exposed.
- Friendly Sniper: He's a sniper who tries to be Affably Evil, but it doesn't save him in the end.
- From Camouflage to Criminal: Formerly a Marine, puts the skills he learned at the Corps to use as a criminal.
- Ironic Nickname: He's nicknamed after the famously snarky comedian Don Rickles but is probably the most serious of the crew.
- Noodle Incident: Exactly what he did to end up on Lazar's radar is never explained.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Dean's death and hearing that Valdez might be after them, he decides to simply leave, insisting no amount of money was worth it. Unfortunately, the building is already on lockdown.
- Semper Fi: He was in the Marine Corps and is implied to have done some very shady stuff while in the service.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: While he gets more characterization than Dean, Rickles is the second character killed and unlike most of the cast, his backstory and real name aren't elaborated on.
Peter
Peter
Played By: Kevin Durand
A mob enforcer.
- Abusive Parents: Joey's Sherlock Scan has her conclude his father was physically abusive. Peter doesn't say anything, but his reaction suggests she's right.
- Affably Evil: He's a professional leg breaker, but very friendly. When it looks they may need to torture Abigail (who at this point they think is an innocent girl), he doesn't look happy about it, but moves to do it. He even notes that it's his job.
- The Alcoholic: He spends a lot of the time drinking liquor, and Abigail later on implies he has a drinking problem that has caused him some problems.
- Arbitrary Skepticism: Even after seeing Abigail in action, a freaked out Peter denies that vampires exist, forcing Frank to bring him down to reality.
- The Big Guy: He's easily the tallest and most muscular member of the crew, being played by 6'6 Kevin Durand.
- Dumb Muscle: He's huge and very strong but not terribly bright.
- Eaten Alive: His fate, by Sammy who had turned and became Abigail’s vampire puppet.
- Establishing Character Moment: His first words are asking Joey if the van is too hot or cold for her, showing his friendly nature.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Abigail stabs him (non-fatally) with his crucifix.
- Made of Iron: Abigail stabs him with his crucifix, multiple times, and later, he gets knocked over a banister and falls two floors onto his back, not all the worse for wear. Granted, he had been drinking throughout the night, so liquor could be a factor in him not feeling the pain.
- Minor Injury Overreaction: The crew thought he has encountered Abigail as they hear his scream from the radio, but he just only got a splinter.
- Nice Guy: When he's not on the job he's a perfectly friendly guy and he even checks in with his team-mates to make sure they're doing okay.
- Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Subverted; when Lambert gives the crew Rat Pack-inspired nicknames, Peter doesn't get the reference, but finally catches on several hours later. He's not unaware of the Rat Pack; he's just a dim bulb.
- Stupid Crooks: The reason why he was on Lazar's hit list was because he ended up skimming money from his own crew, a Canadian Mafia family that happened to be part of Lazar's criminal network, at least in Canada.
- Would Hurt a Child: For all his affableness, he is (reluctantly) willing to torture and murder Abigail (whom at the time he believed to just be an ordinary 12-year old) and he's even the first to suggest doing so.
Other
Abigail
Abigail
Played By: Alisha Weir
Supposedly she's just a little girl whom can command a huge ransom. In reality, she's much more than that.
- Antagonist Title: The titular character in question, who preys on the main characters for large portion of the film.
- Bad "Bad Acting": While controlling Sammy, she barely bothers pretending to be the woman. Given how effectively she pulls off the Wounded Gazelle Gambit multiple times, this is likely for her amusement.
- Complexity Addiction: As her reputation as "Valdez" attests, Abigail could've simply tracked down and butchered every one of the people on her hit list without the need to resort to such a complicated and elaborate deception. In this case, the reason for needlessly complicating things is explicitly stated to be entertainment.
- Dance Battler: She absolutely loves ballet and uses her enhanced agility to her advantage in combat, delivering powerful kicks with her whole body.
- The Dreaded: Her alter ego, Valdez, is terrifying enough to make hardened criminals decide Screw This, I'm Outta Here.
- Even Evil Has Standards: While Abigail is a gleeful murderer she limits her slaughters to people who have in some way crossed her father, meaning that she's not just grabbing innocent people off of the street. While this could be chalked up to both Pragmatic Villainy (it's easier to go after known criminals than innocent randos) and her wanting to please her father as well as enjoying having targets to hunt in an elaborate manner rather than killing at random in public, the end of the film shows that Abigail does have some morals in keeping her word to Joey and letting her go free after they team up on Frank so it's not impossible that this is in play as well.
- Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: Abigail toys around with her supposed kidnappers as entertainment, and some of her tricks show a pretty twisted sense of humor, such as trolling Frank by saying a copy of And Then There Were None (a joke about her intentions for the crew that flies right over Frank's head) would open a secret passage in the library, or engaging in a bit of Bad "Bad Acting" while controlling Sammy to mess with Joey and Frank.
- Exact Words: Technically Abigail didn't lie when she told Frank there was a secret passage behind a bookcase on the right side of the library. She just never said where he had to be standing for the bookcase to be on the right or that the passage doesn't lead outside. The book title she quotes, And Then There Were None, isn't a hint on how to escape but a joke about her plans to kill them all.
- Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: She looks like an innocent young girl when she's really a sadistic vampire.
- Faux Affably Evil: She just loves pretending to be polite to mock her victims and drags out the process of killing them as long as possible. Though she switches to being genuinely nicer at the end with Joey, indicating she's capable of sincere kindness.
- Fingore: Her hand explodes after coming into contact with sunlight after Joey smashed the wooden beams blocking the windows to save Frank from getting bitten by her. It regenerates though.
- Game Face: When she's done playing around, that angelic face of hers becomes a rictus grin of razor-sharp teeth, complete with Hellish Pupils.
- Healing Factor: Bullet wounds disappear in seconds, and even when a ray of sunlight makes her hand explode, Abigail starts growing a new one within minutes and soon has a full replacement.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: Multiple times, the kidnappers seem to get the upper hand on her, only for Abigail to decide she's done playing along and turn the tables on them. Most notably, when they lock her up in an old cage, she eventually gets bored with their refusal to let her out and breaks down the door in a single blow.
- I Gave My Word: She honors her promise to let Joey go at the end after they've taken out Frank.
- I Hate You, Vampire Dad: She turns very solemn when she enters the room in which she was turned and does not have good things to say about her “father” in general.
- I Lied: Promises to tell Frank how to escape the house, but it's revealed she lied. While there is a secret passage in the library like she said, it's on the opposite side of the room and merely leads to the security room rather than the outside.
- Just Toying with Them: Abigail could easily kill all of the kidnappers in one go if she so wanted but, in her own words, she likes playing with her food. Best exemplified in the scene where Peter, Frank and Sammy go up against her with wooden stakes whilst she's dancing with Dean's headless corpse. She leaves her opponents bloody and beaten but alive, purely for her own amusement.
- Karma Houdini: Downplayed; she's nearly killed by Frank, but with Joey's help, she manages to kill him and ends the movie alive and well with no comeuppance for her crimes.
- Little Miss Badass: A little girl who, thanks to her vampiric powers, can slaughter adult killers with ease.
- Logical Weakness: While she is a superhuman vampire, her weight is still that of a twelve year old girl, allowing much weaker humans to throw her around.
- Made of Iron: She takes a lot of damage in the movie, but it does nothing to slow her down
- Manipulative Bastard: She likes to play up her childlike appearance as part of a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to turn others against each other. Alternately, she'll offer to spare someone in exchange for helping her.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: Played with; she can physically overpower grown adults, but Abigail's small size means that things like leverage and her prey's greater mass can be an issue.
- Older Than They Look: She looks to be a young girl but is really centuries old.
- People Puppets: Once she bites Sammy, she can control her and share her senses like a puppet.
- Pet the Dog: She honors her promise to let Joey leave after they defeat Frank and sincerely wishes her well in reuniting with her son.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Everybody in the film towers over her but that doesn't stop her from screwing and throwing or tossing them around with her super strength.
- Sadist: By her own admission, Abigail likes to play with her food, and she only messes around with the kidnappers because she enjoys their fear.
- Samus Is a Girl: She's the dreaded Valdez, a Professional Killer who rips people apart with their bare hands, and whom everyone assumes is a large man.
- Significant Wardrobe Shift: Once Abigail is unmasked as a vampire, she changes out of her previous clothing and into a ballet tutu, along with letting her hair down. She also stops cleaning up after feeding, resulting in her having a bloodstained chin and neck for the rest of the film.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Abigail has the appearance of a 12-year old but the vocabulary of a 1200-year old. Most of the swears in the latter half of the film come from her.
- Slasher Smile: Her default expression once she reveals her true colors.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: Her second kill, Rickles, is killed in a heartbeat when Joey turns her back, the only indication being his death gurgles. That it required her to get out of a locked room between the two didn't seem to hamper her at all.
- Super-Reflexes: She can dodge and grab someone trying to stake her rather effortlessly.
- Super-Strength: Being a vampire as shown in the trailer she easily knocks the cage (that she was in) door down rather easily.
- Super-Toughness: She's rather durable and exceptionally strong for a little girl of a vampire.
- Took a Level in Kindness: While she initially drags out killing her prey and repeatedly lies for her own amusement, she does honor her promise to let Joey go, genuinely wishes her luck in finding her son, says "see you around" in a clearly non-threatening manner and even stands up to her father for her sake, showing that for as sadistic as she is she does have a soft spot for the rare few who are able to earn her respect.
- Villain Has a Point: When Frank unconvincingly apologizes for the crew's treatment of her, he says they thought she was just an ordinary girl; Abigail pointedly reminds him that he put a gun to her head and ordered Peter to beat her when he thought she was just an ordinary girl.
- "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: Joey speculates, and not without reason, that Abigail craves her father's approval and love.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: She's fond of playing up her youthful appearance to pretend to be a scared and/or innocent little girl to get others on her side.
Kristof Lazar
Kristof Lazar
Played By: Matthew Goode
A powerful underworld figure.
- Abusive Parents: Abigail refers to him as her father and never defers from that but she implies that her vampirification was very traumatic and his general treatment of her is anything but pleasant.
- The Don: He is a very powerful criminal leader.
- The Dreaded: Everyone is scared shitless of this guy and with very good reason given his influence and ruthlessness. And that's not even getting into him being all but stated to be Dracula.
- Even Evil Has Standards: While certainly threatening and far from a model parent, Lazar is at least grateful enough and holds Abigail's life in high enough regard to let Joey go for saving her (though he warns her to get a move on if she doesn't want to stay for dinner).
- Greater-Scope Villain: He turned Abigail into a vampire, and it's earning his approval (difficult as that may be) that at least partly drives Abigail's actions. He's also implied to be far more powerful than Abigail, and definitely has vast criminal resources that make the small-scale slaughter at his compound look like child's play. But with all that in mind, Lazar has little to directly do with the events of the film, only turning up at the end, when all is said and done.
- I Have Many Names: When Joey identifies him by name, Lazar remarks that he's had a lot of names in his life, and it's implied that one of those names is Dracula.
- Implied Death Threat: Even though he respects his daughter's wishes, he still says Joey should get out of there because it was close to "dinner time."
- Karma Houdini: Despite a great deal of Offscreen Villainy even without the fact that he's a centuries old vampire who may or may not be Count Dracula, Lazar never comes close to suffering consequences for his actions.
- Large Ham: Does this near the end by shouting Abigail’s name when his daughter stands up to him after he threatens to kill Joey, until she tells him that she and Joey saved each other’s lives from Frank.
- Parental Neglect: Abigail describes him as having "gotten bored" with being a parent and implies he's basically never around.
- Pet the Dog: He respects Abigail's wishes to spare Joey and allows her to simply leave the compound.
Lambert
Lambert
Played By: Giancarlo Esposito
The crew's client who hired them to abduct Abigail.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Lambert's grand plan of killing Abigail and Lazar with Frank's help lasts exactly as long as it takes for Frank to be turned and to get the drop on him, turning Lambert into Ludicrous Gibs and leaving Frank as the movie's Final Boss.
- Boxed Crook: A criminal who attempted to betray Lazar, only to be turned into a vampire and functionally enslaved by him.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He became a vampire in order to protect his family when Lazar threatened them.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Turning Frank into a vampire as part of his plan is what does him in.
- In the Back: How Frank kills him for setting him up.
- Ludicrous Gibs: He explodes into a gory bloody mess after getting staked by Frank.
- Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: He gets staked from behind by Frank for setting him up.
- The Starscream: Lambert plans to betray and kill both Abigail and her father and turns Frank as part of his plan. It backfires, with Frank betraying and killing him instead.
- Too Dumb to Live: That Frank might hold a grudge over Lambert setting him up to be killed doesn't seem to cross Lambert's mind for a second; after turning Frank, he turns his back on him and starts menacing Joey, only to be staked by Frank in short order.
- We Can Rule Together: He offers Frank "whatever the fuck he wants" in exchange for helping him kill Abigail and Lazar, and explicitly suggests they rule Lazar's empire together.
