 SEASON 3, EPISODE 8 NIGHT PREY In 1969, Kurt Bachman's blissful honeymoon with his wife Michele was cut short when she was attacked by a vampire. Knocked unconscious in the incident, he came to just as Evan Van Hellier (Eric Murphy), his fangs dripping with Michele's blood, whisked her away. Despite the passage of time, Kurt (Michael Burgess) continues to avenge his wife's death by stalking and destroying vampires. After one such encounter, he races into a nearby church, where he steals a silver crucifix to ward off other vampires. Unfortunately, Father McKinnon sees Kurt steal the cross and when he attempts to retrieve it, a needlelike blade erupts from the crucifix and kills the priest. His eyes aglow with the cross' power, Kurt flees. At Curious Goods, Jack is devastated by the murder of his old friend Father McKinnon. Later, Jack learns that the stolen cross is a relic known as the 'Cross Of Fire', which, according to legend, was used to bless those who offered themselves as a sacrifice to save their village from vampires. Following the human sacrifice, the cross is empowered to destroy vampires with fire, which Bachman finds out and puts to use.
