The Boy Who Still Has a Lot of Good to Do

After returning from their trip, Hope, Alaric, and Kaleb discover Landon, Rafael, and MG are missing. In the woods, they find Rafael in human form during the full moon, and he slowly remembers while Alaric and company were away. Landon and Rafael took MG home to his estranged parents for spring break. MG's mother Veronica turned them away before MG could see his dad, explaining his religion does not accept resurrection. MG found his father at the church and discovered he was not even aware MG is alive. His father accepted him until MG revealed himself as a vampire. Devastated, MG compelled his father to forget their interaction, spiraled into his ripper state, and killed Landon. Chained up for the full moon, Rafael eventually breaks loose and bites MG. Alaric and Kaleb find a dying MG and send for Hope, as her blood is the cure to a wolf's bite. Hope collapses upon hearing what MG did, but still gives him her blood. They go to collect Landon's body when it starts to smoke. The corpse bursts info flames and Landon bursts out of a casing of ash, revealing he is a phoenix.
