Hi everyone. Sorry for the radio silence over the last month. Today, we're sharing an announcement from Lauren on the end of Bucks County By Night, and our (hopefully temporary) hiatus on new episodes. Adulting is tough and we're sorry to say it's impacting our ability to record at this time. Thank you everyone for listening to the show and we hope…

While Elias is, uhm... occupied with Lillian, Lewis and Isaac take advantage of the down time to look into the Crimson order and the Blade of Cain. How do vampires do deep research online? It's really just like when non-kindred do it. These vampires just happen to do their web searching while sucking on the blood of a human victim they loaded up wi…

Elias and Lillian hog the spotlight in this episode, meeting up at her house where she is hosting a party. Lillian leads Elias to a more intimate setting where they can chat. A lot has happened since they last spoke, and Elias has some updates. While he was clearly planning on sharing some of what he's learned, Lillian turns up the charm to get him…

Solomon plays a haunting voicemail from Elaine, recorded just before her murder. The message hints at a cryptic package she sent to Solomon, one he's been concealing and hasn't opened yet. Solomon's guest, the nun, believes the murder may revolve around an ancient artifact containing great power! Could that be what's in the package? Also, what frow…

Our Kindred travel back to Solomon's shop for their midnight appointment. But they are unable to enter until they agree on the proper etiquette for opening the door. Inside Lewis and Solomon meet face to face for the first time, and they actually seem to hit it off! Even with a bit of rambling from Lewis and Isaac. Elias is not thrilled by the pros…

The party meets up with Hendricks. They get the low down on where August stands with kindred politics and the recent regime change. And Hendricks has some very unkind things to say about Toreadors right to Elias's face!

A new night begins with Elias waking up from his sleepover at Isaac's place. He may have had to crash in a really morbid setting, but at least he got the top bunk! And even better, there's leftover clothes to try on from all the bodies that have passed through the morgue! Elias however is not enthusiastic about that. Lewis checks in on his herd bef…

The mission to stealthily break into Solomon's shop and search for clues to his connection to the murder victim Elaine is not off to a good start! Dart has gone into a full rage in bear mode, climbing up electric poles and scaring bystanders. It's up to Isaac to turn on his vampiric charm and bring Dart back down to his normal, only slightly grumpy…

Concluding their unexpected meeting with August Crane and Lewis's friend H, the kindred head out to continue their murder investigation. After they explore the area around the odd pyramid August calls home that is. Which almost leads to one of the team dying a very stupid true death. Then it's off to scout out the shop belonging to Solomon in an at…

The kindred are taken to meet Sarah's father, another nosferatu named August Crane. They are offered a selection of snacks that are not necessarily appetizing to everyone there. It seems August has questions about their investigation, which is taking place in his backyard. And he is surprisingly willing to answer the questions of his guests in turn…

We pick things up with our crew of kindred confronting the seemingly young girl they found spying on them. She beckons them to follow her back to Lewis's van where they get their first good look at her, and it becomes immediately clear that she is a fellow vampire. She invites the group to meet her father and takes a ride with Isaac and Lewis in th…

After dealing with the trauma of Dart bringing a snack to the van, Isaac and Lewis decide to take a break from playing Pong to continue with the murder investigation. Isaac uses his medical connections to get them into the morgue to examine the victim's body. It turns out he is totally in his element when he is in a medical facility! Dart is still …

While investigating the scene of the murder they've been tasked with solving, Dart notices a shadowy figure watching them from a distance. He quickly gives chase. Not curious about that at all, Isaac and Lewis decide to check out the aesthetics of the neighbor's backyard. Meanwhile, Elias gets bored and goes to the nearby bar to continue the invest…
