Further details

Abdulla, desperate for some answers and unfaltering in his desire to find a cure to his vampirism, agrees to go on a date with Kathy at her favourite haunt. Although on getting there, he can't shake the feeling that he is being watched... by the coven, and by Shafi, who turns up with his beautiful fiancée Nahima to intervene. Meanwhile to set Abdulla straight, Bushra and Shafi arrange for a marriage counsellor to see Abs - but the man that turns up is not who they expect him to be. After the 'double date' turns sour, Abdulla is forced to take protective action which sees the hitherto receptive Kathy return to her terrifying former self. On the run, Abdulla drops down at Amrita's door, only to find that her relationship status might be a little different to what he expected...
