We discuss the penultimate episode of Kindred: The Embraced, in which a pair of villainous Nosferatu (Skipp Sudduth and Patricia Charbonneau) abduct an infant child from a single mother (Out of This World’s Maureen Flannigan). The effort to rescue the baby forces both Julian and Caitlin to confront their past decisions.

This week’s featured clans are the ones classically aligned with the Sabbat: the inscrutable Lasombra and the unpronouncable Tzimisce. 👤🐉

We discuss the sixth episode of Kindred: The Embraced, in which Eddie’s ambitions against Julian finally come to a head. Eddie’s sire and mentor (Ed O’Ross) employs the services of a face-changing assassin (Blair Valk) to kill Julian so that Eddie can seize control of the city at last. Caitlin becomes a pawn when a private investigator (Jack Conley), sent by a jealous Lillie, unexpectedly captures the Masquerade-breaking assassination attempt on film.

Our plans to feature a clan that didn’t make it into the TV show are thrown into disarray as the Assamites unexpectedly no longer meet the criteria. We discuss them anyway, along with the Ravnos. 🗡️🃏

We discuss the fifth episode of Kindred: The Embraced. Meet Zane (guest star Ivan Sergei), Lillie’s childe, a rising rock talent with an artist’s passion for unlife. Zane recklessly Embraces a string of groupies, leaving Frank and Julian to pick up the pieces when one of them, Grace (Chandra West), turns up in the hospital scared, confused, and without a pulse.

This week’s featured clan that didn’t make it into the TV show are charismatic tempters after Zane’s own heart: the Followers of Set, recently known as the Ministry. 🐍
