īut that’s only a fragment of the shock and disgust facing viewers, Mohamad, and Vanessa. He truly believes he’s protecting Mohamad and Vanessa, and while we understand his sense of duty towards Mohamad, why Vanessa? Does Sam sense Vanessa’s importance, and now that he’s been turned and Vanessa’s cut ties with him, will his attitude towards her change? And I can’t be the only one who watched with horror as Sam shaves his head and beard transforming himself into John Druitt aka Jack the Ripper from Sanctuary. Though we know we’re supposed to revile Sam’s actions, it’s still painful to listen and watch Christopher Heyerdahl’s poignant performance as he attempts to explain himself to the others. We can’t simply turn our backs on the relationship Sam forged with Mohamad because at its core has been a fatherly love for the young man.

There’s a subtle horror that runs through this episode, and while it may be convenient to ascribe much of that to the revelation that Sam turns out to be a psychopathic serial killer, there’s much more to it than that. Written and directed by Barry, “Last Time” shows us that the inevitable may not unfold as expected, and despite the best of intentions, at times, you simply have to live with bad decisions. That said, there’s something about the crafting of tonight’s Van Helsing episode that elevates it to a level few shows ever achieve with a story arc that seemingly reinvents itself each week. It should be obvious at this point that I’m a huge Simon Barry fanboy, and now that I’ve had the opportunity to experience showrunner Neil LaBute’s work as well, he’s certainly been added to my “keep an eye on” list of creative minds.
