Episode 5: Exterminators and Anne Rice

Brief Synopsis

The city is beset by a series of mysterious deaths, beginning with the death of a runner, Percy Swan, at Carnegie Mellon University. The deaths involve the removal of the spinal fluids of the victims, and damage from being dropped from a great height. The gang traces the source to an insectoid demon who uses spinal fluids to nurse its young. As they race to stop the demonic creature, one of Kat's friends, Loralei, is seduced by a young vampire looking to make her name in town.
