The mortal lives of new neonates must make way for the Requiems that come in their wake. If Dr. Walsh and Archie are going to begin new existences in the same city where they used to live, they have to make sure no one’s looking for their old, daytime selves. In the case of Archie, this might be as simple as making sure his wife doesn’t go looking for her drug-dealing husband. For Walsh, things get more complicated. He has living patients, co-workers and friends who might go poking their noses into vampire society if they follow the trail of the missing surgeon. It’s not enough for Walsh to disappear — he has to die.
