Grams is played by Alfre Woodard
"Oh, sorry," says Kurt as he walks in on Finn in the bathroom.
"No that's okay, I'm done," replies Finn as he was washing off toothpaste from his toothbrush.
"You're up early, where are you going?"
"The police station. They're setting up a search party for Rachel."
"Wait, what about school?"
"You're kidding me, right?"
"You shouldn't skip school. If they find her we'll know; that's what cell phones are for."
"Yeah, you keep talking and I don't know why," says Finn as he left the bathroom.

Sam's phone rings as he walks done the hall at school. "Hello?"
"Sam?" asks Rachel on the other line.
"Rach! Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm ok."
"Just tell me where you are and I'll come get you."
"No Sam, I just need some time. Please don't go out and look for me. Just know that I'm ok." She hangs up the phone leaving Sam with a million and one questions circling his brain.
"I don't understand why I have to stay here. Why I can't go home and work on my Funny Girl songs?" Rachel asks Blaine. She's now staying at the boarding house while Blaine is trying to teach her to be vampire like him.
"It's because you're changing Rachel and it's not something you want to do alone," replies Blaine.
Puck walks down the stairs. "Now that's just a lie Blaine. Spending time in a house when you really just eat someone is a suck-ish paradise and cruel punishment." He picks up the newspaper from the table. "There is not one word of Logan Fell in here. Someone's trying to cover it up." He pulls out a compass from his pocket.
"What's that?" asks Rachel.
"It's a very old compass," explains Puck. "What was Logan doing with it?"
"I don't know. If you think someone's on to you, maybe you should leave town," supplies Blaine.
"Maybe we should all be worried," supposes Puck.
"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" asks Rachel annoyingly.
"Here," says Blaine as he gave Rachel a cup of deer blood.
"What is it?" asks Rachel as she looks down at the murky blood.
"It's what you're craving," reasons Blaine.
"Stop lying to her. It's so not what you're craving," says Puck in his jackass tone.
"What is it?" asks Rachel a second time.
"Yeah what is it Blaine? Skunk, St. Bernard, Bambi?" questions Puck, trying to annoy Blaine.
"Just give it a try Rachel," rationalizes Blaine.
"She needs people blood; it's not strong enough," remarks Puck.
"Mmm yeah, why can't I have people blood?" asks Rachel as she gets excited.
"Because it's wrong to prey on innocent people," Blaine says logically.
"You don't have to kill to feed, just find someone tasty and erase their memory afterwards, so easy," says Puck as he undermines everything Blaine is telling Rachel.
"No, there's no guarantee that you can control yourself. It takes years to learn that, you can easily kill somebody; you'll walk around with that, which, if I haven't made clear is eternity," Blaine says to Rachel, trying to make her understand.
"Don't listen to him; he walks on a stupid path of morality and non-sex shark motivation. I say: snatch, eat, erase," implies Puck as he tries to teach Rachel wrong.
"We choose our own path; our values and actions, they define who we are," reasons Blaine.
"Okay Modern Day Eggs Benedict, I'm outta here," says Puck as he got bored with conversation. As he grabs his jacket, the doorbell rings and he already knows who's on the other side.
"Is Blaine here?" asks Kurt.
"Yup," Puck answers shortly.
"Where is he?"
"And good morning to you, Mister I'm On A Mission."
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that has happened?"
"And how can you be so brave and stupid to come here after calling a vampire arrogant and glib?"
"If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead."
"Yes, you would."
"But I'm not."
"Yet."
"Where is Blaine?"
"He's in the living room singing 'Teenage Dream'…again. Knock yourself out," says Puck as he leaves Kurt in the doorway.
"Blaine? Blaine?" questions Kurt as he walks through the boarding house in search of Blaine.
"Yes?" answers Blaine as he appears right before Kurt's eyes.
"Where is Rachel?"
"Shhh, she's upstairs."
"What happens now? Because my brother is out there searching for her with the rest of the town. What do I tell him?"
"I'm working with her. It's gonna take time. She's a very headstrong and bossy human being. That only gets amplified when she's becoming what she is."
"So, she's a vampire who's a bitch? What am I supposed to do? Because I am lying to everyone that I care about. What's gonna happen to her?"
"I'm gonna keep her here until I know that she's safe."
"How long is that?"
"Well we can talk about that later."
Kurt leaves Blaine and walks upstairs into the room Rachel's in. "Hey Rach, how are you?"
"How am I? I'm locked in a dumb boarding house where I can't work on my Broadway tunes or worship Barbara Streisand in peace."
"Trust me, that's a miracle for all of us."

"Was our family burned in the Salem Witch Trials?" asks Mercedes as she talks to her Grandma about being a Jones witch.
"They tried for years, but it takes a lot more to capture a witch," answers her Grandma.
"So, how did we end up in Lima?"
"Our family fled from Salem in 1692 and relocated here. Our ancestors lived in secrecy for over 100 years. It's important that we still do."
"Grams, everybody knows that you're a witch."
"They also know it's absurd, can't be true. I'm just a kooky lady who teaches occult at the university. They just poke fun."
"Where's the witchcraft? I mean we've been talking history for two days; I wanna get to the fun part."
"It's not meant to be fun. It's real and serious and you must understand, before you practice. Aren't you late for school?"
Mercedes sighs as she closes the book she and Grams were reading. She grabs her things and heads off to school. "Bye, Grams."

"Hey," says Artie as he rolls up to Sam near the entrance of the school.
"Hey."
"You know they have a search party for Rachel."
"She just called. She's okay."
"Well good, because I figured you've must've been going out of your mind."
"A little bit."
"I was just gonna offer some help."
"I appreciate it."

"I brought your costume!" says a very excited Quinn as she approaches Mercedes in the school hallway.
"Seriously?" asks Mercedes as she pulls out a witch costume from the bag.
Quinn sighs. "Come on, can someone please be excited that it's Halloween? I just wanna have some fun. Some silly, funny, Puck-free fun."
"Hey, isn't this from Puck?" asks Mercedes as she holds up the crystal that she called ugly last week.
"Yes, pitch it, toss it, burn it I don't care; I just want it gone. Hey, have you seen Kurt? Do we know what he's wearing?"
"I was with Grams all weekend. Haven't talked to him. Maybe he's with Blaine."
"Riding to his castle on his white horse?"
"Don't be bitter, it doesn't look good on you," says Mercedes in her sassy voice.

"Coffee is our friend, it helps us feel warm to the touch," explains Blaine as he was talking to Rachel about the intricacies shielding the vampire existence from humans.
"Well if I want to drink human blood?" asks Rachel; dumb bitch, get it through your head!
"You have to learn to live with that urge and go through it every day," says Blaine for the hundredth time.
"Oh God, don't start with twelve steps again, went through that enough with my own dad."
"But it can work, it's your choice."
"So, you've never tasted human blood?"
"Not in a long time."
"How long?"
"Years and years. I'm not proud of my past behavior."
"Ugh, does this migraine ever go away? And I hate this daylight thing! I need to use the bathroom, I have pee. Why do I have to pee, I thought I was dead," rants Rachel as she goes to the bathroom.
"I'm gonna go get her some more blood, I'll be right back," says Blaine as he walks toward the kitchen.
"False alarm. Ugh, I feel like I'm on my period," says Rachel when she walks back into the dining room. She pulls out her sparkly pink phone.
"Who are you calling?" asks Kurt.
"Finn."
"Rachel, you can't see Finn anymore."
"I don't have to listen to you."
"Even though you could hurt him?"
"I'm not gonna hurt him, I would never hurt him."
"I know you think that, but I can't take that risk. You're gonna have to let Finn go."
"Oh really. So how long have you been preparing the 'I hate you' speech?"
"I never said that. All I'm saying is that I don't want Finn anywhere near this and I mean it," says Kurt in his stern, parent voice.
"Or what?" asks Rachel as she put Kurt into a choke hold against the wall. "Let's get one thing straight little gay bitch, you had my brother whipped for 15 years and then you dumped him. When I look at you, that is all I see. And I'm gonna see Finn whenever I want to see him. And I'm going to have all the fun I want and I won't think twice about ripping your head off if you get in my way." She releases Kurt from the chokehold and storms away.

"She threatened me," says a scared Kurt as he was recovering from his choke hold on the porch.
"She's on edge. And with her being as dysfunctional as she is, she's, for lack of a better term, an angry bitch," reasons Blaine.
"How long before it settles? Days? Weeks?"
"There's no rule book."
"How long was it before you learned to control it?"
"A while, but I didn't have anyone helping me. It's hard resisting certain people when you're new. Love, lust, anger, desire can blur all into one urge, hunger."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that Finn can't see her. Not now, she won't be able to resist him. She could hurt him."
"Or worse."
"I'm not gonna let anybody get hurt."
"I need to go."
"Kurt…"
"Please Blaine, there's only so much of this I can take."

"How you doing?" asks Puck while the sun is almost finished setting, walking into Blaine's room.
"Just contemplating the next hundred years," answers a cynical Rachel. "Why did you do this to me?"
"I was…bored."
"You did this to me out of boredom?"
"It's one of the pitfalls of eternity."
"Now I'm bored and all I want it blood. Like more than I want to buy more of my beloved animal sweaters."
Puck laughs. "Ok Josie Geller, the blood thing will get better over time."
"Um who's Josie Geller?"
"From the movie? Never Been Kissed?"
Rachel looked at him with a confused look on his face. "That's weird. I'm more like Barbra Streisand anyway. Did you know that my middle name is Barbara?"
"As for the boredom, you've just been cooped up all day. You want to get out of here?"
"Yes! But where are we going?"
"Just 'cuz you're pathetic, doesn't mean your afterlife has to be."
"What are you doing?" asks a worried Blaine as he walks into his room.
"She's been cooped up in your room all day. Don't you think she's suffered enough? She's not Anne Frank," reasons Puck.
"Now is not the time for this," says Blaine.
"You're the one teaching her; don't you think she should get a little taste?"
"She could hurt someone."
"I'm not taking her to Disneyland; I'm just taking her to the front yard." Puck and Rachel walk down the stairs and out the front door and onto the front lawn. Blaine follows behind them.
"This is a bad idea Puck."
"She's a vampire Blaine, she should know the perks."
"Like what?" Rachel asks curiously.
"Well like…" Puck using his super speed, disappears and reappears in front of Rachel.
"Whoa! How did you do that?" asks a more intrigued Rachel while Blaine gets more and more annoyed.
"Come on Rachel, live a little. No pun intended," urges Puck. Rachel then runs away from the boarding house.
"Uh-oh, my bad," says Puck as he realizes his dumb-ass mistake.
