Ep 10. Stay Away

Van Helsing is a television show which features the famous vampire hunter Vanessa Helsing, the descendant of the legendary vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing. In this season 1 episode 10, titled "Stay Away", the group's plan to escape the city and head to a new safe haven is put on hold when Vanessa and Susan are kidnapped by a group of vampires.

The episode begins with Vanessa, Susan, and Axel looking for a way out of Seattle, where vampires and humans are at war. The group learns of a compound that is reportedly safe for humans. Dubbed "The Farm", this location is said to have been built to protect people from the vampire apocalypse. However, the route to get there is treacherous and requires the group to pass through vampire territory.

As they carefully make their way through the city, Vanessa and Susan end up getting separated from the group. They soon come across a group of vampires who are initially hostile towards them. But the leader, Julius, decides to spare them and takes them captive instead. Vanessa and Susan are shocked to learn that the vampires have a community of their own and that they are capable of more than just mindless killing. Julius reveals that he wants to broker a deal with Vanessa - they will let her go if she helps them negotiate with the humans. Vanessa reluctantly agrees, but it's clear that she has doubts about Julius' true intentions.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group - Axel, Mohamad, and Doc - are making their own way to The Farm. They are ambushed by a group of humans who want to take them hostage and use them as bait to lure out the vampires. The humans are working with a man named Scab, who is a known vampire collaborator. The group manages to overpower the humans and continue on their journey. But they soon come across even more enemies, putting their survival skills to the test.

As the episode progresses, tensions escalate between Vanessa and Julius. Julius becomes increasingly aggressive and reveals that he has more information about Vanessa's past than she is comfortable with. Vanessa begins to doubt her decision to work with the vampires, and she starts to plot her escape. She eventually manages to break free and reunites with Axel and the rest of the group. They continue on to The Farm, unsure of what kind of reception they'll receive there.

Overall, this episode is a tense and action-packed installment of Van Helsing. It provides a deeper look into the world of the vampires and explores the possibility of a tentative peace between humans and vampires. The episode also continues to delve into Vanessa's past, adding more layers to her character. With plenty of twists and turns, "Stay Away" is an exciting addition to the first season of the show.
