Logline[]
Laura and Danny meet another board member who might side with them against Mattie: Baron Vordenberg.
Synopsis[]
Silas Politics 101
The episode opens with Laura and Mattie closing off another edition of SNN. Mattie is informing the student body about the Corvae Corp taking blood and tissue samples, while Laura is clearly faking being happy. After the broadcast ends and Mattie leaves, Laura lets out her frustration with a short rant, all too eager at this point to find out what Vordenberg knows about Mattie.
Cuddle Time 101
Sometime later Laura is taking a break from the investigation with a mini-marathon of Scandal. She asks Carmilla, who is reading on the chair behind her, if she wants to join her. She has zero interest in what happens to Jake and Olivia, so Laura opts to go join Carmilla instead.
Hollstein 101
Noting her broody demeanor, Laura asks Carmilla if she’s okay, with Carmilla dismissively answering that she’s fine. Moments later, she asks Laura if she would run away with her, even if it’s a pretend scenario. Laura is intrigued by the idea, but states she cannot leave behind their friends or the school. Even if they could run, she wouldn’t because it’s not who she is.
Invasion of Privacy 101
The next day, Laura is getting ready for Vordenberg to arrive, and is both nervous and excited to meet him. She reveals that his ancestor was a vampire hunter, with Carmilla sarcastically commenting that he must have been a good one, considering how vampire-free Styria is. She leaves the room, and not long after there is a knock on the door.
Miscommunication 101
Laura opens the door and Vordenberg enters, greeting her warmly. During introductions, he says that Laura reminds him of a lady he once knew, going into a story about a voyage he was on for the golden apples of immortality. Laura cuts to the chase and asks him about what he was talking to the Voice staff about and if he knew anything about Mattie’s plans.
Perry Problems 101
He’s surprised that Laura is asking him about the board and the anglerfish, saying it wouldn’t matter if he told what he knew to her, as there isn’t anything that can be done about the situation. Vordenberg admits he doesn’t really have any power on the board, as he’s always outvoted by the other members.
Public Indecency 101
The conversation is interrupted by a shriek from the hall. Perry comes in, looking very fluttered and disturbed and asks the duo to not mind her outburst because she’s hallucinating. A very British voice is heard calling for Perry, and a moment later, a naked “Will” walks in. Silence descends upon the room as Perry asks if she’s the only one seeing him.
