Merlin and Arthur find themselves vastly outnumbered in a tavern brawl, but an enigmatic man helps them to victory. The stranger risks his life to protect the Prince and is seriously wounded in the process. Arthur takes him back to Camelot where he quickly gets to work, drinking, charming the ladies, and causing trouble for Merlin. But when, what appears to be, two unscrupulous Knights try to kill the Prince, can Merlin and the inscrutable stranger stop them before it is too late?

Things seem to be looking up for our three heroes. Annie is starting to be seen by ordinary folk, Mitchell has sworn off blood and even George is in relatively good spirits. But it's not long before their supernatural conditions catch up with them.The vampires won't leave Mitchell alone, he's harassed by Seth and Herrick, ominously warning him that he cannot deny what he is and should return to the Vampire fold. Meanwhile, George, who considers the house a sanctuary from his condition, is forced to transform there and promptly tears it apart. And Annie is heartbroken when the landlord, her fiance Owen, pays a visit and reminds her of everything that she has lost.

The Doctor and Amy learn more about the art of terror in this adventure when they meet Vincent van Gogh.
