Dracula the Series- Episode 5 The Vampire Solution

We open with Gustav and a former student of his working on potion.  Sophie comes in and they start talking to her about the missing ingredient for the potion, which is suppose to be able to turn a vampire back into a human, curing them.
As Arthur, is leaving the house, he is kidnapped by a guy in dark glasses. Gustav hears a noise and goes to look out the window. 
Next scene is a detective checking the house, not believing that Arthur was kidnapped.  Gustav tries to tell the detective that Lucard is behind the kidnapping, and that the reason was because they were trying to destroy Lucard's business.
We then see Max and Chris coming out of the store, and Max saying he's going to jog home.  Next is Gustav at the office of Lucard Industries, planting a computer virus, and is caught by the same strange man who kidnapped his former student Arthur.
Back at the house, we see Max working out and Chris mocking him. Sophie then talks Max into doing Yoga.
Back at the castle, Dracula and the stranger have Gustav and start having a verbal battle over plays. We learn that there is a history between Gustav and the stranger, Klaus. Dracula has to play ref between the two, reminding Klaus that he's acting like a child.
Back at the house, we see Sophie and Max trying a few moves of Tai-Chi, in an attempt to have Max learn to balance himself.   Then we see Gustav back at the castle locked up in the basement with Arthur, both having been bitten.  Gustav has the potion with him, drinking it.  Then we learn it wasn't the potion, but in fact one of Max's protein drinks.
Back at the house, the kids realize Gustav has gone to the castle. All three show up and break into the place. Max stumbles across Dracula and Klaus, who are checking a copy of Henry V. Max goes to defend himself, and accidentally shoots lighting bolts out of his fingers, which ends up being a result of having drank the anti-vampire potion by mistake.
They find Gustav and Arthur, but they are turning quickly into vampires.  As they are leaving the castle, both Dracula and Klaus trap them again. Max ends up having just enough of the potion in his system for one more bolt of lightening which holds them off for everyone to run.
Back at the house, the kids are making a new batch of the potion. Gustav drinks the potion and turns back to a human, but Arthur refuses, staying a vampire.
Too bad for him he was standing beside the cross that hung in the living room, which burned him to ash.
We then see Dracula and Klaus back at the castle, talking about the computer virus being a fake, and how they knew about the potion.   Dracula then starts to quote Romeo and Juliet; which they argue about the scene.


This is the episode where we are introduced to Klaus who will become a major character in the rest of the series, and is played by Geraint Wyn Davies, who would go on to play the lead in the tv show Forever Knight  a year later. Ironically,  Geordie Johnson who plays Dracula/Lucard would do an episode of Forever Knight as a talk show host, and Bernard Behrens who plays Gustav would also do an episode of Forever Knight.
