In Being Human (UK) season 2 episode 7, titled "Damage," the lives of the supernatural trio- Mitchell, George, and Annie- are thrown into disarray when a group of vampire slayers arrive in town. They are led by a charismatic and manipulative leader, Kemp, who believes that vampires and werewolves are a threat to humanity. He has a personal vendetta against Mitchell for turning him into a vampire many years ago.
Kemp and his arm of slayers, known as Operation Rose, have been hunting down and killing vampires across the country, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. They have arrived in Bristol, where the trio lives, to eliminate the vampire threat in the area. Mitchell is immediately alarmed, knowing that his past will soon come back to haunt him.
As a result, Mitchell becomes increasingly paranoid and anxious. He refuses to leave the house, even for basic necessities, fearing that Kemp and his team would catch him unaware. George and Annie both try to talk sense into him, but their words fall on deaf ears. Mitchell's fear stems from the fact that he was once part of Kemp's group, and has done terrible things in the name of eradicating vampires.
Meanwhile, George has his own demons to deal with. He has been plagued by nightmares, which cause him to shift unexpectedly. He fears that his secret will be revealed to the slayers, putting himself and the others in danger. Annie, on the other hand, is grappling with her own mortality. Her ghostly hold on the living world is slipping, and she is scared of moving on to the afterlife.
As tensions rise, Mitchell decides to take matters into his own hands and confronts Kemp. Their reunion is tense and unsettling, as both men confront their past actions and beliefs. Kemp is unrelenting in his quest to exterminate all vampires, and Mitchell is unwilling to go back to his old ways. Despite their differences, they both acknowledge the other's power and influence over their respective communities.
In a shocking turn of events, the slayers capture George and plan to experiment on him, hoping to find a cure for lycanthropy. Mitchell and Annie team up to rescue him, which results in a violent confrontation with the slayers. In the chaos that ensues, the trio realizes that they cannot keep running from their pasts and must face the consequences of their actions.
In conclusion, Being Human (UK) season 2 episode 7 is a powerful and intense episode that delves into the moral complexities of being a supernatural creature in a world that does not understand them. It is a must-watch for fans of the show who enjoy action-filled drama with strong character development.
