Episode Seven Summary

Vanessa returns from her outing with Dorian Gray possessed by her evil spirit. The evil inside her clearly knows more about Sir Malcolm than most. She is seemingly normal the next day but remembers nothing of what happened. Frankenstein examines her and she transforms before his eyes. He believes she is suffering from some sort of psycho-sexual break but Sir Malcolm believes she is simply possessed by the devil. They do their best to make her comfortable and she is sedated most of the time. Sir Malcolm may have ulterior motives for so desperately wanting to keep Vanessa alive.
