Synopsis for "From Husk Til Dawn"
In her search for Jubilee, Husk finds a small group of vampires, who mistake her for an innocent bystander. A vampire's attempt to bite her proves to be a mistake, as she shreds her skin to reveal it to be made of wood. The vampires attempt to use fire against her, but it has no effect.

Synopsis for "I'm Gonna Stake You, Sucka"
While trying to shake off a guy trying to woo her, Dazzler follows a vampire who attempted to suck off him. She traces her quarry to an old mansion, where she discovers a whole society of vampires dress in 70s-style clothes. Their leader, Sheba Sugarfangs, says that Ivory (the vampire Dazzler was chasing) will be punished for breaking the rules. Dazzler doesn't much care and attempts to unleash a solar burst, but the vampires are all protected by their necklaces provided by Xarus. Therefore, Dazzler brings down a disco ball to splinter some woods, which she uses as a stake against Sheba, only for Ivory to take the blow. Sheba then explains to Dazzler that her society of vampires has to leave their families behind when they were turned. They stayed hidden, not taking outright killing, only to kill and drink from those who deserve it. As the vampires fade away like dust, Sheba admits that being frozen in the past is hard for anyone to understand. Picking up a flower that Ivory has on his lapel, Dazzler can admit that sometimes mutants are hard on themselves.

Synopsis for "Rue Blood"
Rogue arrives to defend an innocent woman from a couple of vampires. Another vampire named Damen leaps down to warn the others to leave, having recognized something in Rogue; even scared them off by decapitating one. He then claims to Rogue that she's his beloved Rue, whom he lost two centuries ago to the Klan, who detested their interracial love. He became a vampire to wait for his love to be reincarnated. However, his so-called reunion has a snag, as Ernst walks up to say that Martha Johansson, the reincarnation of Rue, is actually possessing Rogue's body to experience the superhero life. Damen pleads Johansson to remain in Rogue's body so he can make her a vampire. Johansson kisses Damen to see what it is like to temporarily being a vampire, only for nothing to happen. It is because a vampire isn't truly alive, meaning that they can never be together. Therefore, Damen agrees to let Johansson end his life, so he could see his love in the next life.
