After showing what Ethan Talbot (Josh Hartnett) can do when he embraces his dark side, the focus will turn to Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) in the next episode of "Penny Dreadful" season 3.
In episode 5, titled "This World Is Our Hell," Ethan allowed Hecate (Sarah Greene) to bring out his dark side instead of helping him face his own demons. But while spending a lot of time together, the pair discovered that they have a lot of things in common, and they eventually ended up getting intimate.
But not everyone was willing to embrace Ethan's dark side. Toward the end of the episode, Ethan's father, Jared Talbot (Brian Cox), asked Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton) to confront him by showing him the room where his family was killed by the Native Americans. The episode ended with a big clash between Ethan and his father, who forced him to repent of his sins as he pointed a gun at him. But could Jared really kill Ethan?
Meanwhile, the trailer for the upcoming episode, titled "No Beast So Fierce," shows that Vanessa encountered a scholar named Catriona Hartdegen (Perdita Weeks), who educated her about the first vampire, now known as the Count Dracula (Christian Camargo). Catriona told her that the first vampire is also called a "seducer" who used a lot of disguises over the years.
After earning her trust, Vanessa revealed to her new friend that she is looking for Dracula in London. This surprised Catriona, but she was eventually persuaded by Vanessa to join her in tracking down the first vampire. Will the ladies finally find out Dracula's hiding place?
The official synopsis for the episode states that "Vanessa turns to an old friend for help, who introduces her to a new ally."
Episode 6 of "Penny Dreadful" season 3 airs on Sunday, June 5, on Showtime.
