Insomnia is the seventh episode of the second series.

Plot[]

Vlad is having nightmares where he is being chased by the Branaughs, who are slayers, and is given advice by Robin, depicted as a wiseman dressed in white. Trouble is, Vlad is falling asleep regularly, and uncontrollably. Worse still, any injuries he obtains whilst dreaming somehow manifest themselves on him in real life. It becomes clear that he must survive in the 'dreamworld' to survive real life.

Meanwhile, Mina, Jonathan's mother, visits him and Van Helsing. Discovering that they are now both obsessed with vampires, the very reason she left Eric in the first place, she decides to stay to try and knock some sense into them.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only episode to show a Vampire, other than Elizabeta who is remarkable for her shape-shifting powers, transform into anything other than a bat, or smoke, Vlad being shown to transform into a wolf. Granted this was in the dreamworld, so it may not be possible for vampires to turn into wolves under normal circumstance.
  • This is also the only episode in which a vampire's inability to cross running-water comes up in dialogue, although it is shown to be in effect in the real world when the Count, and Malik battle with Ramanga, in the Series 4 episode 'Do the Bite Thing', when Ramanga is unable to cross the Count's wall of water.
  • When Vlad is the bathroom cleaning a cut he sustained while fighting off the slayers in the Dreamworld, you can see behind Robin some graffiti reading 'Van Helstink'. This is referred to by Jonathan later on in the season, in the episode When Vampires Go Bad, when Eric claims that nobody calls him Van Helstink anymore.
  • Robin mentions Mr. Cuddles when he reminds Vlad that he still sleeps with a teddy bear.
