Quotes

Mick St. John: [Beth tells Mick that Josh was going to propose and isn't sure about what she would've said because she's falling in love with Mick] How did you know that she was the one?
Mick St. John: [Mick thinks carefully, he knows Beth is feling raw from Josh's death and coupled with the fact that he was married to Coraline and she's asking marital advice is new and unwelcome territory. He also doesn't want his feelings for her to get in the way] I don't know. It just felt right.

User Reviews

Mick discovers that there maybe a cure for his vampire curse.

Personally I think this is the best show so far, and yes it should be re-run before the new shows are slated to return. Mick's mixed reactions were great ! Of course he would be very skeptic of a cure, and Coraline being the one that could produce it, in his mind, would be crazy. If you think about all the evilness this woman has done, his reaction is really understandable. I liked the way they tried to make Coraline seem to really care for Mick, yet you know or feel that she's got ulterior motives. This show is the one that new viewers would say " Hey, maybe I need to watch this show". I for one have been hooked from the first show. Each episode just get's better and better, and the writing is great! Sure, they had a show or two where the vampire was cured, but it wasn't explained as well as it was on this one, and is more believable.
