The Gates

Rivaling for Charlie, Lexie learns from Brett that Andie is a succubus, but trying to use that information only wrecks both relationships. Christian not only survived the sun, he kidnaps Dylan's Emily, boats about it and when chained up, manages to make the sheriff, who agreed to look discretely, learn that Dylan's wife murdered a baby's neglectful parents and neither stopped committing violent crimes, yet is the only one ordered out of town.

The sheriff resigns in order to move his family, but fails to explain to the kids. Unwilling to leave Andie, Charlie runs away with her, but she runs out of medicine, as jealous Brett diluted it in a daze, so the succubus drain during sex extracts almost all life force. Only Devon's black magic may save Charlie, but Dylan doubts if he can hold off Ben McAllister's lynch party long enough. Deputy Marcus Jordan finally works out the truth about colleague Leigh and the Gates in general.

FBI Agent Kat Russo arrives at Nick's precinct in search of a criminal who may have taken refuge in The Gates. But the deeper Russo digs, the closer she comes to uncovering the community's dark secrets, and Nick finds he must balance the demands of the Bureau with preserving harmony within The Gates. Elsewhere, Andie's "hunger" leaves her weaker by the day, and Brett is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her sated. On the rebound from his recent breakup, Charlie finds himself with an unexpected new crush. Behind her mother's back, Mia seeks Devon's tutelage in the ways of the Craft. Finally, still reeling from Christian's betrayal, Dylan and Claire struggle to repair their bond
