Storyline
Detective Murdoch investigates the death of a young female student attending a residential boarding school in Toronto. She was found on the school grounds in a fountain and Dr. Ogden confirms that she drowned. Somewhat ominously, she has several cuts and the doctor confirms she had lost 3 pints of blood. She also has what appears to be two bite marks on her neck. Constable Crabtree, who has been reading Dracula by Bram Stoker is convinced they have a vampire on the loose. Murdoch looks for a more realistic explanation and finds that several other girls at the school have been going out late at night and meeting a handsome young man - and who they too claim is a vampire.

Constable Crabtree has read the novel Dracula and conducted a little research on his own. Thereafter, he shares his theories with Murdoch and Brackenreid -- absolutely priceless! Furthermore, we have a girl's school where the students are all reading Dracula, rumors spread like wildfire and some of the girls are convinced they have been "bitten" by a vampire -- the makings of a fantastic show. However, the reality is nowhere near as interesting as the fantasies and the viewer loses interest after discovering the identity of the "vampire." This episode would have greatly benefited from a less mundane conclusion and if not for Constable Crabtree's always intriguing input and a strong hint of the supernatural, this show would be closer to a 5 than a 10.
