Oh… and Ethan's Mom comes home early from her own party, with a witch costume that's very convincing…

At first jealous, Sarah and Erica soon realize it's up to them to save the school – and the planet – from the Queen's apocryphal plans.

The Council begins to suspect that either Ethan or Sarah is to blame, and they must clear their names if they want to survive. Meanwhile, a desperate former Dusk actor appears in town seeking publicity, and instead gets too much information about the Real Vampires of Whitechapel thanks to his number one fan, Erica.
