Synopsis[]
Santánico Pandemónium sets the scene.
Santánico Pandemonium stuns the audience with a seductive dance involving a snake. Mesmerized, Richie Gecko recognizes her as the one who has been inside his mind beckoning him ever since Abilene. Freddie Gonzalez enters the bar and spots the Geckos. Grabbing a knife, he walks up and stabs Richie in the hand through his existing injury. The site of blood and violence excites the other vampires. Santánico reverts to her monstrous serpentine form and begins attacking humans. The other vampires in the bar follow suit. Through the ensuing chaos, several humans are brought down. Freddie Gonzalez is bitten by a vampire and falls through a trap door.
Without warning, everything ceases, and the vampires recede into their various catacombs and warrens, leaving behind only the Geckos, the Fullers, and Sex Machine. The place is locked up tighter than a drum and there is no place to escape. This at least gives everyone enough time to plan their next move.
Okay... Who invited Sex Machine?
Meanwhile, Santánico and Carlos address the Nine Lords, who are feasting upon a banquet of blood and various meats. Narciso Menendez reinforces his station over Carlos and orders him to lick his boot. Before Carlos can obey, Santánico addresses the lords and gives a speech about rising above their current station. She concludes her talk by telling the others that they can follow her... or be destroyed. At this point, Narciso realizes that the blood they have been sipping has been tainted by snake venom. Carlos leads him away and binds him with chains, declaring that it is he who is now the Master.
In the bar, the humans who had been killed in the slaughter now rise as vampires. The Geckos, the Fullers and Sex Machine barricade themselves behind a table to draw them in. As they get closer, Sex Machine pushes "666" on his mobile phone, which sends a signal to a second phone strapped to a pile of debris that has been collected in the center of the room. With Richie's knowledge of demolitions, they have converted the cell phone into crude detonator. The debris pile explodes sending shrapnel and previously sharpened pieces of wood in every direction, injuring or killing most of the vampires. As the vampires flail in agony, the group presses their advantage and takes them down. Kate Fuller takes out two herself. She cuts one in half with a chainsaw and decapitates another. Scott Fuller shows off his knowledge of melee weapons, but he is ultimately snatched and thrown down a chute that leads down into the lower dungeons of the building.
The Gecko Brothers got their balls on. Screwed on tight.
Elsewhere, Freddie wakes up from a nightmare to find himself sliding down a chute towards a meat grinder, but manages to escape. He begins to crawl his way back to the main room.
Meanwhile, Santánico goes up above and begins to talk to Richie. She tells Richie that he belongs there and she wanted to show him what she was on her own terms. As Richie is listening to her, Freddie comes up from behind and shoots him, his blood splattering on Santánico. She shoves Seth against Freddie, grabs Richie and brings him with her, as Seth shouts his brother's name.
