Not Quite Dead

Some time after the incident at the laboratory, Alfie and Neige continue to investigate what happened to Casper. This time their approach is a little more hands-on.

Alfie is making some questionable decisions as he learns more about the mechanics of vampirism.

Tensions are mounting between Alfie and Neige as they struggle to resolve their different views of what to do with Casper. It's clear that Neige is holding things back, and though Alfie is pushing for more, Neige always seems to find a way to change the subject... 

Alfie reaches breaking point and has chosen to take drastic action. Before he solidifies his decision, he reflects on the factors pressing him to make it.

Alfie becomes the prodigal friend, and suffers the consequences.

Alfie is waiting. Waiting, and waiting and waiting. The title of this episode is taken from Macbeth. The full quote is: Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

In this episode, Alfie explores the context for some of Neige's decisions, his own evolving feelings, and the situation unfolding around them.

Alfie finally begins to get answers, some to questions he never thought to have asked, and others to those he wished he never had.

In this episode, we see beyond Alfie's immediate plight and examine some older, deeper wounds which somehow still seem not fully healed.

Alfie and Neige are at an impasse. To move forward, one of them will have to compromise, and whichever of them it is, the consequences might be enough to change the dynamic between them forever.

Alfie struggles to make sense of things in light of recent revelations, but before any new status quo can be established, something lurking in the shadows snaps any sense of security that remains.

Alfie tries his best to make a note of everything that's happened, but he's struggling to keep it together. The finale of Season Three.
