#### Bite This

Bethany takes John, Eric and Garbrielle to Romania to recover TOM's space craft. Even before they leave Gabrielle agrees to go into the Pod-Doc to correct her nano-cytes so she can walk in the sun (along with other minor enhancements).

Eric's description of Bethany Anne - “A scary motherfucker? Death with the legs of an angel? The last beautiful smile you see before Hell takes you?”

#### Love Lost

Gabrielle takes a bullet intended for Eric and he overcompensates in helping her from the scene rather than recognizing her vampire skills and how she uses them. Bethany Anne gives him a corrective interview which makes him shy about approaching Gabrille again.

#### We Will Build

Kamiko Kana arranges an ambush for Scott and Darryl where Scott takes a few bullets bad enough that Gabriel is pissed and realizes that they are being complacent.  She tracks down to where Kamiko Kana has another fortress and with John and **Eric’s** help they once again attack. This time, unbeknownst to the Queen’s Guard, Bethany Anne is waiting in the Etheric for Kamiko Kana to run away and when she does, Bethany Anne throws her back out and rips the Etheric from her, so she can’t run away again.  Gabriele finds her and beheads her. The

#### Release the Dogs of War

The Illuminati in the US try to trap Bethany Anne and kill the Bitches when she is on her way to visit the US president at the direction of Joshua Guildenstern. Almost all the attackers are killed except one, advisor to the president who is shot and released. The president is told Bethany Anne was ill rather than say she and her staff were too covered in blood. Barnabas and Bethany Anne join Joshua on his private jet as he attempts to escape. He is interrogated and executed dying alone as they leave with a disk drive containing information on the Illumanati.

#### We Have Contact

Eric's Latin upbringing gives him 2 challenges in asking Gabrielle for a date. First, in wanting to meet her as an equal, not as someone she needs to protect. Second, he feels obligated to ask Stephen to be allowed to take Gabrielle out. He has told his intentions to John Grimes in preparation of pushing his martial arts training with Bethany Anne. Eric actually does push her, impressing her with his effort and stamina and that he can actually drive her to sweating. In the end, she tells Eric he is ready to meet Stephen.

Eric arranges to meet Stephen in the workout room where Stephen scans him and understands what the meeting is for. Stephen reminds Eric that Gabrielle is his daughter by turning her, not her biological father. This doesn't deter Eric as Stephen and Gabrielle consider each other father and daughter. Stephen provides the permission as well as advise. Gabrielle is monogamist but given her long life it is serial monogamy. She is still a romantic even after all her years and partnerships.

Stephen does finally fight with Eric with Bethany Anne, John, Darryl and Scott watching via video. The fight ends after an hour when Stephen stops it and gives his permission and blessing to ask Gabrielle out.
