## Trivia

* There's a five year time jump.
	+ In those five years, there was peace with even a truce between Vampires and Witches.
	+ There is no truce with the werewolves.
* Jake is now kept chained up in the Chamberlain compound by Jeffery.
* Jesse was yet another vampire who was compelled to slaughter his family as well as his entire estate and was used to distract Hectate so that Jake could escape.
* Charlotte demonstrates the ability to transform into her wolf-form and to complete change within a few seconds, which is typically unheard of.
* The beast anti-venom is finally created by Christopher, his magic amplified by five dark objects, using Jake's blood mixed with the venom of seven werewolf packs. It successfully cures Zander and Nick though there was only enough for two doses.
	+ Christopher's amplified pain infliction spell shows that one only needs to completely destroy a vampire's brain to kill them rather than a complete decapitation. Brooklyn described this phenomena as "melting".

**Jeffery**: *"No. I came to have a nice, civilized conversation. I think we're overdue."*

**Graysin:** *"It's a beautiful day outside. Streets are packed with tourists, they're drinking beers, they're chasing beads, headed out on the vampire walking tour of Los Angeles. They think it's a myth: just part of our city's charm. Well, we know better. Just like we know that there's a storm coming. This week marks five years since the fall of the Chamberlains. Five years of peace and we paid a high price for that peace. We witches, we earned that peace. We snatched back our freedom, we severed our link with our ancestors. To take back our city, we backed Jeffery. Now since then, we fought hard to build this community and in the next week, as we celebrate our independence, that community will be challenged."*
