Season 1, Episode 13: “Farewell Is Not Forever”

The Schlottersteins prepare to leave, but moving a vampire household is harder than it sounds, especially with coffins involved. Halloween creates the perfect cover for a strange “procession” through town, but Geiermeier pushes the police to intervene, and Anton is pulled into the middle of it all. As the night builds toward a goodbye, Anton is left with a reminder that some friendships do not end just because the road changes.
