Ahh! Bad wig alert! Flashback newbie-vampire Spike is lurking around in his drawing room, calling for his mother. She swans in from another room, looking remarkably refreshed and restored by her death and rebirth into immortal demonhood. Why don't we just call her Gabrielle from now on, since this story is such a blatant rip-off of Anne Rice's tale of Lestat and his mother? Down to LeSpike's mom's long golden curls, even. Sigh. Didn't this show used to mock Anne Rice, rather than stealing her Gothic melodrama touches? Bleh. And where did Dru go? Stomped off in a disgusted huff muttering about tea cakes sailing their cannons to China, most likely. Spike's all elated that Mummy is such a healthy new demon, and starts making plans for their activities together. He pencils in feasting on the residents of London and then going out dancing for the night, but Mummy has other plans. In fact, she plans to get as far away from Spike as she possibly can, as quickly as she can. I think I like the evil old bag! Mummy mocks poor widdle William's poetry. We cut back to Wood's Grudge Garage, where Wood shouts at vamped-out Spike to fight back. Back in Mummy's drawing room, she twirls and muses happily, "It's as if I've been given new eyes! I see everything…understand everything." It's been a very, very long time since I read any Anne Rice, but I would lay dollars to donuts that that line is almost a direct lift from one of her books. LeSpike is so very, very sad that Mummy has become a cruel demon who doesn't like him, and he begs her to stop. She sneers that she has to be cruel to "pry [his] greedy little fingers off [her] apron strings." She advances on LeSpike, making graphically unkind references to his birth. Oh! His poor undead Victorian ears! How ever can his soulless evilness bear the unkind words?! Oh, right. I don't care.
