[all cheering]

Yeah!

I am so glad I made it in time.

Were you working on your history presentation for tomorrow?

Sophie says music cues and a costume change.

I'll spend the rest of the night working on it.

I've just been too busy with the gardening club,

the ping pong team and writing letters to save the narwhals.

Fun fact, they're the unicorns of the ocean.

Priorities, Vee.

This is your history final.

I'm making up for lost time.

I can't let school get in the way of my school experience.

-Vee, you made it. -Yes.

You killed it and danced on its grave.

Thanks. Who wants to go out for pizza?

Elijah doesn't want to be mobbed by his fans.

You don't eat where you just ate.

I'm in!

What are you doing?

Relax. The presentation will be my number one focus.

After I get pizza.

-Vee. -What? I'm a vampire.

I can stay up all night and prepare.

Vee. Vee!

[sighs] I'm gonna be late for class.

You got this?

I got this.

The sun awakens!

[hissing] Away, foul rays!

Ah, works every time.

You must have fallen asleep prepping for your presentation.

How far did you get?

"The Dancing Plague" by Vee...

That's it?

Oh, what am I gonna do?

I don't know anything about the dancing plague.

Except it sounds like a fun way to go.

It was for many.

I should know. I was there.

That's right, you were there.

I'll bet you know so much about the dancing plague.

And you're so good at telling everyone how much you know.

They say you have the heart of a philosopher and the face of an angel.

What's your point?

Maybe you could just, I don't know, slip into my brain

-and give the presentation as me? -Absolutely not!

Being inside someone else's brain is like trespassing.

And besides, isn't that cheating?

Technically.

But while you're doing my presentation, I'll be learning,

and you wouldn't just be teaching me.

You'd be molding the minds of an entire generation.

Well, if it's for the children.

All right, let's take this bag of bones for a spin.

Right. I'm not a ghost.

There's Jordan. Have you streamed her latest mixtape?

Her flow is amazing.

She's the best rapper at the school.

No offense.

Hold up.

I know why we're looking at Jordan.

But why is Jordan looking at us?

Hey, yo, come here a sec.

[wheezing]

Let's go.

-Don't embarrass me. -I think you've got that covered.

Sit.

I heard you last night at the open mic. You cooked.

I've never heard a first year spit bars like that.

Wow. Thanks. That means a lot coming from you.

We're doing a rap cipher later tonight.

Very exclusive. Very hush-hush.

I didn't even tell my mom.

And she's my best friend, yo.

You should come through.

You're giving me a key to the underground?

-Bring your best bars. -And his hype woman.

My friends call me DJ PJ

and my enemies just call for backup.

I like her.

You can come too.

-♪ We're going to a cipher ♪

-♪ With the big kids! ♪

Hello, fellow students.

Isn't that Demi's hat you're always hating on?

What?

Demi has impeccable taste.

He's the coolest.

He's okay.

He can be a lot sometimes.

Excuse me.

I am a lot all the time.

It's me. I'm in Vee's brain.

Demi?

Is this a good idea?

Puh-lease, I got this.

Vee sked me to do her presentation for her.

Don't judge. It's for the children.

Brilliant. Why didn't I think of that?

Old Mr. Witherspoon will never know the difference.

Hello, class.

I'm your substitute teacher today.

That's not old Mr. Witherspoon.

No, that's a young Van Helsing.

[Demi] We've got

to get out of here.

[Vee] No, we have to do

my presentation.

[Demi] It's way too risky

with the slayer here.

[Vee] You can't dip out now.

Oh! Looks like Vee Hauntley is itching to go first with her presentation.

[groaning]

And that was the day I...

I mean, Demetrius Montague Philosan

was instrumental in ending the dancing plague.

[all applauding]

Wow, that was incredible, Vee.

Almost as if you were there.

[bell ringing]

Looks like we don't have time for anyone else's presentation.

Sorry, children.

Vee, will you stick around for a sec?

Very thorough report.

So much detail.

Hold still.

A-ha!

Just as I suspected.

Mm-mm, I see you in there, Demetrius.

[chuckles nervously] No one else in here but me.

Little old Vee.

Very human. Very adorable. Wobbly head and all.

You've been besieged by a spirit.

I demand to speak with Vee.

-Begone! -[Demi] With pleasure.

Vee.

Are you okay?

Oh, no! What has just happened?

I saved you. You were inhabited by a ghost.

Really? How do you know?

I've learned all sorts of things on my travels.

Plus, a ghost once proposed to me.

But I'm more of a living girl, so...

Wow. Well, good thing he's gone. Bye.

It's not that easy.

Sometimes ghosts have evil intent and may return. When they bond with you,

they latch on and follow you everywhere,

never leaving you alone.

That tracks.

The good news is I can help.

There's a waning crest at noon tomorrow,

perfect for releasing unwanted energies.

Can't I just take prune juice for that?

Gross. No!

I'll summon the spirit.

If I can figure out why he targeted you, then I'll know what to do next.

In the meantime, stay on guard.

And also lose the hat.

[gasps] Demi, I'm packing your stuff. You're out of here.

Huh. Usually that's my thing.

Moriah thinks you're a bad ghost because you besieged me.

Which was your idea. Did you tell her that?

Yeah. And then I said, "Hey, I'm a vampire."

Demi, she can't find out that we know each other.

You have to leave before she summons you.

Meh.

"Meh"?

I've been ghosting for 600 years.

I know how to avoid a summons.

Trust me, this isn't my first haunted rodeo.

Dude, the key's symbolic.

Put it away. You look silly.

[♪ rhythmic music playing]

Whoa...

We're with the big dogs now, Soph.

Yeah, I may be a small dog,

but DJ PJ's got big dog energy.

I think he's gone.

And no offense.

I just really don't believe in all that supernatural stuff.

Weird.

That's what the ghosts want you to think.

Now, let's begin the ritual.

We'll draw him in with the flame.

That's it?

A candle?

You know, if you put it on a cake, it might be more enticing.

This candle has special properties.

No ghost can resist it.

It also smells like a wet dog.

Apologies in advance.

[♪ mystical music playing]

Puh-lease!

Was that a summons, or was it something I ate 600 years ago?

[softly] Demetrius...

[echoing] Demetrius...

Demetrius...

[echoing] Demetrius...

[imitating] Moriah...

See? I can do it too.

Demetrius...

Uh-oh...

Demetrius... You are being summoned.

Yeah, I got that!

Demi...

...trius?

The candle's magic will hold him here

until I can determine his intentions.

Who are you?

Okay, look here, toots.

I'm undercover, see, and you are interfering with an active investigation.

Enough!

-Why did you besiege this child? -That's classified.

Top secret, you hear?

Why did you choose Vee, huh?

I don't see what's so special about her.

Hey, I have a lot of admirable qualities.

Look, see, you back off,

-I won't report this. -Hmm.

Save me a lot of paperwork.

Do we have a deal?

We definitely don't.

Because I'm banishing you, Demetrius.

What?

I'm sending this agent into an early retirement in the hereafter.

As in there's no here after tonight?

By my decree, the spirit is banished.

Haunt this plane no more!

Case closed. As the waning crescent moon rises,

Demetrius' life force will drain away

until the crypt is empty and he is less than nothing.

Hey, why are you crying?

I'm just so happy.

Demi's in big trouble

and I've got to get into Moriah's apartment to save him.

Okay, but she has it booby-trapped.

I went back for my jacket once,

I almost lost a thumb.

I got Demi into this.

I have to get him out.

Can you get her out of her apartment for a little while?

I know where you could take her.

What? What?

Mmm-mmm. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Look, I can't go back to the cipher.

It's perfect. No phones, closed room, loud music.

The sweet, sweet taste of redemption.

Good plan. Solid as a troll's thigh.

And trolls never skip leg day.

You don't understand. I totally bombed.

I should have just stuck with the first years where I was the best.

I get it.

You're used to being a big fish in a small pond.

But snap out of it!

You're too good to quit just because you failed epically

in front of the whole underground.

Elijah, listen to your hype woman.

Except that last part, that was a little bit harsh.

So is life. Demi's in trouble, so suck it up.

Fine.

I'll take Moriah to the cipher.

Okay? Just promise me, no more pep talks.

They cut deep.

[Demi] Vee! Stop. It's not safe.

Get out of here!

I've never listened to you before, and I'm not starting now.

I can't leave you to have your life force drained.

[Demi] Fine. But be careful.

Moriah has the whole place rigged like a mousetrap.

Don't worry.

Nothing's gonna stop me from saving you.

[beeping]

[air whooshing]

Except maybe whatever this is.

[Demi] Vee!

Just a heads up.

It's gonna be hard to get you in, so follow my lead.

Moriah!

The queen. The muse. The moment.

Come on in.

Seriously?

You know my sister?

Don't look surprised.

You know I'm the cool one.

You totally are.

You good? I want to give the DJ a link to my beat tape.

Maybe he'll play some of my tracks tonight.

You ready, Elijah?

Uh...

Yeah. Just gotta wait for inspiration to strike.

No, it's too risky.

They've been fritzing.

[beeping]

Aw. That was my favorite sleeve.

[Demi] It's too late for me.

I had a good life and an even better afterlife with you.

Save yourself.

I'm not leaving without you.

Here goes nothing.

[Demi] Boy, am I glad I signed you up for those mummy and me yoga classes.

I can't look. Dang it! I'm just an eye.

It's all I can do.

If you're not gonna do your thing, we should get going.

I wanna make sure that ghost has been fully banished.

Uh... uh, no, no, wait, wait.

[Demi] Great! You're through. Hurry!

Oh, no, Demi, you're almost gone.

Let's get you out of here.

[Demi] Wait! That's Vanquinium.

Don't let that seed pod get to the bottom.

That was close.

-Vanquinium. Isn't this... -[Demi] Supernatural kryptonite.

It's toxic to ghosts, vampires, Van Helsings.

If that pod cracks, we'll both be done for, so stop playing with it.

Now get me out!

I'm back, baby.

Thank goblins!

We did it!

Okay, let's reset these traps

so Moriah doesn't know you were here. Carefully.

But if Vanquinium is that powerful a weapon, shouldn't we--

It's too dangerous.

No one should have it.

I can't believe you did all that to save me.

If Moriah caught you, you'd have been vanquished.

It was worth the risk. You're my Demi.

I couldn't do any of this without you.

You really couldn't.

I am so sorry for getting you into this mess.

From now on, no more shortcuts.

I'm gonna do my own work.

And you're going to listen to everything I say?

Baby steps.

Hey, Demi, don't get mad.

I know what you said about the Vanquinium being super dangerous,

but I was thinking, if it's so powerful,

maybe vampires should have it, too.

Demi?
