| Jen in hulk form |
In this episode she is woken by a call from the parole officer (John Pirruccello) of her client Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) as the power inhibitor he is forced to wear, to prevent him turning into the Abomination, has malfunctioned and so she heads to the retreat he runs just in case he had turned into his alter ego. It is a simple malfunction, however an unfortunate incident with her car means she is stuck at the retreat.

| Terrence Clowe as Saracen |
She ends up in a group therapy session with a group of supes (villains working on their issues) and it is here we meet Saracen (Terrence Clowe) – the reason for this mention. He is introduced as “Saracen – he thinks he’s a vampire”. As Jen is drawn into the session she opens up about the recent beau who has just ghosted her – Saracen suggests her lover may have “wanted her blood” and this leads them to reference that perhaps Saracen has daddy issues. He also suggests they should find the guy and “suck out all his blood.”

| Therapy |
So, there you have it. If Blonsky is to believed then he thinks he’s a vampire but as he thinks Jen’s blood would be tasty then maybe he’s tried drinking blood before, or maybe… just maybe… But until we know, for now it is a fleeting visitation of someone acting like he’s a vampire.
