The Siren
Laszlo and Colin set out on their adventure, but things quickly go wrong. The boat starts to capsize and they’re forced to swim for it. They make it to the other side, but the water is so murky and dark that they can’t see a thing. They start to panic, but Laszlo has a plan. He’ll use his powers to create light in the water, which will help them see what’s ahead. The light starts to form and they start to see things in the darkness: a ship, some people on board, and finally Plum Island itself. They’re overjoyed at finally being able to find their way home. But as they get closer, they realize that there are more people on board than they thought…and there’s something else waiting for them on Plum Island: a group of ghosts!
Meanwhile, Nadja and Nandor continue to disagree about who should take the reins of the Vampiric Council. In fact, the pair decide to alternate council duties, with Nandor and Nadja each taking charge on different dates. The trouble is, they both end up undoing what the other has put into practice, making it completely counterproductive. As The Guide herself tells us, these two are the worst vampire council in history. ..
Nadja is distracted by her duties with the council and loses sight of how unhappy her possessed doll is. In fact, the little tyke skips out one night after an interview involving Guillermo. However, this leads to both Nandor and Nadja frantically trying to find her when they find out.
Nadja and Guillermo go to the department store together to buy a doll. Nadja’s doll is up on the shelves, but she skips across to different vessels as they chase her through the streets. It takes a while, but eventually Nadja convinces her to come back home again.
As they approach Plum Island, Colin and Laszlo are enticed by a singing creature on the island. It turns out to be a siren, who takes many different forms. Thankfully Laszlo manages to make it back to the mainland but Colin is kept under the siren’s command.
Laszlo goes to the department store to buy noise cancelling headphones, but ends up coming home with a whole bunch of electronic trinkets as well. Eventually though Laszlo heads back to the island with his noise-cancelling headphones, grabbing Colin and taking him home. In doing so though, Colin ends up with a recording of the siren song. Could he really be in love?

What We Do In The Shadows returns with another good episode, this time with Laszlo and Colin mixed up with a siren while Nadja’s doll is brought back to the forefront of this story through a nicely written plot about her insecurities.

The dual stories continue to work beautifully here, and this chapter piles on the laughs that this show is synonymous with.
