As the four vampires discuss their plans to bring the Dark One back, he reveals that he has his own Van Helsing, Violet, right there in the Denver facility. In the present, Hansen meets with Michaela, Bathory and Sam his office, and we find that not only is Hansen trying to raise the Dark One, he is, in fact, an ancient vampire. That, combined with the seed of his strongest soldiers and the Dark One’s blood means he was able to make his own lab-grown Van Helsings.

While he might not have the twins, it turns out that their genetic material was saved.

It is here that we see the first of the episode's revelations - Hansen’s ultimate goal has been to raise the Dark One and for that, he needs a Van Helsing. Spoiler Warning: The following contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 5 of ‘Van Helsing’įans have been waiting for an explanation as to why Violet and Jack have the same abilities that Vanessa has been shown to have, and the show gets to the heart of that mystery immediately with a pre-rising flashback. In the meanwhile, Axel(Jonathan Scarfe) enacts a plan to rescue Jolene(Caroline Cave) and Phil(Vincent Gale) but, predictably, things do not go according to plan.

It’s a real turning point that would have completely overshadowed Hansen’s(Neal McDonough) big reveal if it wasn’t some incredible performances that stole the show. This season has been teasing a greater connection to the Van Helsing legacy, in Violet(Keeya King) and Jack(Nicole Munoz), and the fifth episode, ‘Liberty or Death’, finally reveals just what that connection is.
