'The Canterbury Vampires'
Episodes 36-40
Rag Week
The time has come for the Head Vampire to finally begin his master plan. Tired of living underground in the tunnel, it's time to take Canterbury to be his own. What better time to do this than Rag Week when the students are all caught up in arranging charity slave sales and bar crawls to notice any strange happenings on campus. After his only son's disappearance, he can only call upon his faithful minions to help him. Can Aurora and Brenton make him proud and succeed in his most devious plan yet?
Above ground, Miles is struggling with next week's assignment; exams aren't far away and he wants to do his very best. Charity on the other hand, is tired of working so hard and is looking for a little more fun. After meeting the lovely Rag Girl, Molly, she realises how exciting rag week could be with the prospect of making lots of new friends while running the Thursday night bar crawl. The fundraising events become even more charitable when a Give Blood Van arrives on campus. Now the students can give even more than just their student loans. Why would anyone bat an eyelid when campus becomes so quiet during the day? Everyone must have hangovers after all the rag events, or have they?
The magic students face their biggest challenge yet. Morpheus is becoming stronger than ever, and not even Abigail knows how he can be beaten.
