Eric rejoins the boys at The Lair, where Damian initiates him into "the inner sanctum" of fellow hunks risen from the dead. Thom visits The Lair soon after, searching for information about his comatose boyfriend. Damian responds by placing Thom in a near-fatal trance, but Laura saves him just in time. They approach Trout and Belmont for clues, but encounter only more questions. Meanwhile, Damian is coming for Jonathan once more.

Thom encounters Damian in Jonathan's hospital room, instantly reminding Damian of Richard Devere, the man who painted his portrait two centuries ago, the only man he's ever loved. Devere was a vampire who gave Damian immortality and the capacity for evil; Damian in return drove a stake through his heart. He believes Thom to be Devere reincarnated, and Colin takes advantage of Damian’s infatuation to finally gain control of The Lair.

Damian suspects one of the vampires of having stolen the missing painting, and he goes to the orgy room to take care of the man who betrayed him. Trout, desperate to gain a search warrant to The Lair, finally discovers evidence that is conclusive enough to gain legal entry.

He and Jonathan revisit The Lair to find Colin in charge, but what has happened to Damian? Thom is mysteriously released from his prison and is reunited with Jonathan. However, the bittersweet scene grows simply bitter when Thom learns that Jonathan is harboring a secret.
