Season five of Van Helsing<\/a> is finally here! After a 16 month delay since the fifth season was announced in December 2019, due to the pandemic, fans and this editor went wild when they finally got the good news that the fifth and final season of Van Helsing would be airing on SYFY<\/a> April 16, 2021!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, let us recall when we last met in Van Helsing<\/a>, so long ago before the pandemic. We found what appeared to be Jack (Nicole Mu\u00f1oz<\/a>) and Violet (Keeya King<\/a>) recovering in a hospital after suffering extreme trauma inside the wormhole portal subsequent to their mother Vanessa (Kelly Overton<\/a>) throwing herself and Dracula, the Dark One back into exile subsequent to an encounter in \u201cThe Beholder\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We met President Archer (Jill Teed<\/a>) who had arrived to chat with Avery (Anna Galvin<\/a>), thought to be the President’s confidential aide only to discover that Avery is fact, and has always been working with the new version of the Oracle who has been locked up in an impenetrable cage. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The President is accompanied by Colonel Nicholson (Aaron Douglas<\/a>) who has, so far, been successful in thwarting the minions of Dracula. This is about to change quickly with the events Dracula, The Dark One has carefully planned to ensure her escape from exile.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Axel (Jonathan Scarfe<\/a>) and Julius (Aleks Paunovic<\/a>) are out in the field dealing with Doc (Rukiya Bernard<\/a>) who is trying to help those injured during the battle with the Dark One. Some like Sam (Christopher Heyerdahl<\/a>), have gleefully given their all to free Dracula from exile, while others less fortunate have been wiped from existence since “The Rising”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As we learned in \u201cThe Beholder\u201d Violet and Jack ending up sitting down to share what may have been their last meal after being led to the dimly lit location by the voice of Vanessa. As they arrive for the feast, guess who is coming to dinner? Not what they expected, it is none other than the Dark One herself, Dracula (Tricia Helfer<\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At a Black-Tec field location, Julius and Axel are nearly overpowered by new slaves to The Dark One who plans to escape from exile and dominate the Earth once again. Sadly, these plans appear to be succeeding. Axel and Julius are wounded only to discover that their wounds are not healing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the wormhole reality, Dracula gets inside the Van Helsing<\/a> sisters’ heads by revealing to them the true story of their origin. Jack, in an attempt to overpower Dracula, gives herself over to the Dark One which turns out to be a huge mistake. Trapped inside the wormhole tomb, Dracula tells the Van Helsing<\/a> sisters that it was she, The Dark One, not Vanessa, who had been leading the sisters directly into her trap. We are stunned since it is now apparent that Vanessa must be trapped inside somewhere inside Dracula\u2019s tomb!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We segue back to the hospital where Violet and Jack wake up after being brought there by Axel and Julius. Something is not right as Jack seems unfamiliar with her surroundings. We know that Dracula has somehow traded bodies with Jack by shape shifting when she tells President Archer a bald faced lie that the Dark One has been killed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Violet is observed becoming highly upset telling the staff that she must save Jack from herself. The viewer knows what has happened, Dracula the Dark One has escaped exile by morphing into the body of Jack! Poor Violet, thought to be suffering from her ordeal, is secured.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More bad news, the President, who has taken Jack to a secure location, bites the President while alone inside a room. This allows Dracula to shape shift once again. This time assuming the role of the President of the United States!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After becoming the President, the Dark One stops by the Oracle’s lock up chamber, and using her authority as the shape shifted President, Dracula demands her release. Ivory (Jennifer Cheon<\/a>) tried to intervene but gets knocked unconscious. The Dark One, the Oracle, and their evil entourage leave the area, free from further interference for the time being.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ivory wakes up and goes to the hospital where she frees Violet. Meanwhile, out in field, Julius and Axel are having strange reactions to an orange dust that is everywhere. Back at Black-Tec, Violet and Ivory try to stop the Dark One and the Oracle from boarding a helicopter but are shot at by security forces. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s when, trapped back inside the wormhole portal, Jack wakes up inside a coffin locked inside Dracula\u2019s tomb setting up the fifth season!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
