The sixth episode of season five, \u201cCarpe Noctis\u201d takes us on a wild ride with Julius (Aleks Paunovic<\/a>) and Axel (Jonathan Scarfe<\/a>) as they encounter a gorgeous young woman named Nina Morgan (Ali Liebert<\/a>). Nina knows Julius knows from 1984 well before The Rising occurred.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This all happens after Julius and Axel spent some time with Doc (Rukiya Bernard<\/a>) who went on to find Jolene (Caroline Cave<\/a>) and retire from vampire hunting. Doc healed Julius and created an elixir that can temporarily restore his healing powers. However, if too much of the healing elixir is taken, it can kill Julius.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doc also delivered a hefty batch of \u201cvampire bullets\u201d to Julius and Axel. These cartridges are bullets that are infused with the chemicals from the toxic orange cloud that took away Julius\u2019 power to heal in season four. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cvampire bullets\u201d given to Axel and Julius are expressly designed to kill Dracula\u2019s (Tricia Helfer<\/a>) minions and perhaps Bathory The Oracle (Jesse Stanley<\/a>). We cannot be certain, but they are unlikely to be effective on The Dark One herself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The episode also takes places subsequent to Jack (Nicole Mu\u00f1oz<\/a>) being sent on a mission into the past by her mother Vanessa (Kelly Overton<\/a>). Jack\u2019s mission was to kill Dracula. Unfortunately, The Dark One instead escaped to the present.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently posing as the President in the White House, and after Violet and Ivory successfully escaped the military facilities located near Fort Collins, defeating the Vanator in \u201cSisterhunt<\/a>\u201d, Julius and Axel are planning on linking up with Violet (Keeya King<\/a>) and Ivory (Jennifer Cheon Garcia<\/a>) using the magic compass page from the Van Helsing book of secrets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Before beginning our analysis of \u201cCarpe Noctis\u201d, we would like to pay homage to one of the wonderful things about the fifth and final season of Van Helsing<\/a>; that the creators at Echo Lake Entertainment,<\/a> Dynamic Television<\/a> and Nomadic Pictures<\/a> have taken great efforts to nice wrap the story arc of characters that the fans of the series have come to love and admire along the perfect path of adventure, science fiction and fantasy. <\/span><\/span>In this way, special thanks from Team WHR<\/a> goes out to all the writers, creators, cast and crews of the Van Helsing series who are professionally tying the story arc together very neatly for the fandom.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCarpe Noctis\u201d was written by Gorman Lee<\/a> and directed by Jonathan Scarfe<\/a> in an episode that takes us back to a time before the \u2018Rising\u201d to 1984 Chicago when Julius and Nina shared something together that no one has ever known about until now. <\/span><\/span>Add all of this to the fact that Nina knows secrets about Julius\u2019 past, his family, and that she has some secrets of her own, this makes \u201cSeize The Night\u201d (Carpe Noctis) an absolutely awesome episode that will end up testing Axel and Julius to the core of their relationship!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
