Laura Hollis, new college student at Silas University in picturesque Styria, Austria, is working on a journalism project documenting the weirdness of her new school. Convinced by her roommate Betty Spielsdorf to go to a party, she takes one night off - only to find a slimy note near her bed the next morning that says Betty is no longer attending the school.

Since nobody saw anything at the party or even seems to care that Betty is missing, and after endless calls with officials from Silas University to investigate her disappearance, Laura decides to take matters in her own hands and searches for her roommate by herself. Until - another roommate shows up.

As it turns out after 3 days, Betty is nowhere to be found on campus, and the girl who burst into Laura's room and introduced herself as Carmilla is in fact her new roommate - from hell. Seeking some kind of little revenge, Laura decides to get back at her and pours Carmilla's soy milk on her breakfast cereals - she really shouldn't have done that.

Laura meets up with her floor don Lola Perry and Perry's friend S. LaFontaine to discuss the freaky blood that poured out of Carmilla's milk container. Ultimately, she wants to get rid of her - and Perry tries to assure her that Betty will probably return soon, like all the other girls that went missing before.

Laura is eager to interview the two girls that went missing before and then re-appeared and asks Perry to arrange a meeting. Enter Carmilla, who explains that the blood was a prank - sure! Enter Sarah-Jane and Natalie, who report that they can't remember anything about the time they went missing except for some creepy dreams beforehand.

Getting into a heavy argument with Carmilla about how rude she was to the two girls and about her efforts to shed light onto Betty's disappearance in general, Laura makes a bold decision and puts her whole research online. Next thing you know, a loud alarm goes off.

Recounting the dramatic and fishy events from the dreaded Town Hall meeting, at which The Dean warned students to spread rumors about missing girls online, Laura finds a co-investigator in her Lit TA, Danny Lawrence, who is also concerned about what's happening on campus. Shortly after Danny leaves, someone knocks on Laura's door.

Charming safety escorts Wilson Kirsch and Will Luce, two members of the Zeta Omega Mu fraternity, came to Laura's rescue and protection. While they - kind of - overstayed their welcome, entering Carmilla isn't amused to meet them in her room and bites them out, literally.

Laura is very happy about her many new online followers and teams up with Danny to find similarities between the four girls and the circumstances of them gone missing and re-appearing - all while Carmilla is being snarky. Is the alchemy club behind all this? Let's ask Natalie again.

Irritated by Natalie's and Sarah-Jane's weird change in behavior, Laura facebook-stalks Betty and discovers that her missing roommate wasn't the real Betty, so to speak. Even more shocking - Carmilla makes her a cup of Laura's (!) cocoa and wanders off, missing a special guest who asks for Miss Karnstein.

Behind closed door, Laura, Perry and LaFontaine secretly listen to The Dean repremanding Carmilla. Laura's initial schadenfreude vanishes when they're alone and Carmilla seems very upset - they bond until Danny enters the room with the news that the alchemy club made photos of every party a girl disappeared. And there's one more surprise!

Apparently, Laura has to step up her surveillance a notch because Carmilla suspiciously shows up in party photos with Sarah-Jane, Natalie and studdy buddy Elsie right before they went missing. It seems that she can count on both Danny and Kirsch to protect her from evil at day - but can they protect her from these disturbing dreams she's having lately?

When Laura mentions to Carmilla her continuing bad dreams, her roomy initially mocks her about it - until she shows some compassion and, in a very flirtatious way, offers her a creepy charm in the form of a dried bat wing on a bracelet that might help her sleep better. Did the same happen to Natalie and all the other girls before they disappeared?

Laura and LaFontaine decide to crash a Faculty Club meeting in order to present evidence to The Dean that Carmilla is evil. When they get thrown out, Laura is able to grab a photo from the wall that shows Carmilla in 1954. To investigate further, they hit the library - and the library hits back! At the end, LaFontaine speaks out what finally had to be said.

LaFontaine's revelation came as a late surprise without warning to Laura, but suddenly the behavior of her roomy did make a lot of sense to her. Question is, what do you do with a vampire as your roommate who gives you seduction eyes and tries to lure you in? Considering to play the bait might not be the best idea, or does it?

The "Scoobies" are still trying to figure out how to lure Carmilla into a trap with Laura as the bait, when Kirsch, Will, Sarah-Jane and Natalie show up to invite her to a party. Recruiting their help for her plan, Laura goes to bed and wakes up from another bad dream, only to find Carmilla in a very nostalgic mood. Laura takes the opportunity to invite her to the party.

The night of the party, Laura is hopeful that their plan will work and that they can capture Carmilla in the crowd - until she suddenly shows up with a bottle of expensive champagne to celebrate with her bait in private in their room. The tension between them is rising - but they won't be alone for long.

It didn't quite work as planned - nevertheless, Carmilla is bound to a chair, with tape on her mouth, not able to move and do any harm. Which begs the question: Who kidnapped Natalie from the party, and why did Sarah-Jane fell out of the window into her death, screaming? The group needs answers from Carmilla, they better remove the tape.

Laura, Danny, LaFontaine and Perry are still scratching their heads and try to figure out how to get more information out of Carmilla when Perry inadvertently gives Laura a brilliant, albeit very cruel, idea. At the low of her blood level, still reluctant, Carmilla finally decides to tell her side of the story.

Carmilla tells Laura her story of becoming and "living" as a vampire, with Laura suddenly deciding to pep it up by playing along with sock puppets. Which, at first, works delightfully when it's all about adventures centuries ago. Alas, it ends sadly when Carmilla's real love was struck by tragedy, and she began to disobey her "mother", who Laura already met.

In the light of what she revealed to Laura about her "life" and her "mother", The Dean, Laura and the gang go back and forth on what to do about Carmilla and keeping her hostage? It gets much more complicated when a visitor shows up in their room and tries to shake up the status quo - oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

A panicking Laura tries to talk herself down after being bitten by Carmilla, just seconds after Will ran off, just seconds after Carmilla punched him in the face, and just seconds after she learned that he was also a vampire. When Carmilla comes back from following Will, she is about to run from her "mother", The Dean. Can Laura convince her to stay?

The next day, and after most likely failing her midterm lit test, Laura gets an explanation of how Carmilla's charm works - the bracelet charm, that is. Shortly after, LaFontaine and Perry show up, and the two roomies get into a heavy argument about how to fight their common evil enemy, The Dean. Enter, Danny!

When Danny enters the room, she immediately gets into a fight with Carmilla to save and protect Laura - which doesn't end very well for her. Something that Laura can't stand is when someone is too overprotective - so they break off their tentative relationship. But that's not the biggest earth-shattering thing that happened on campus ...

Giant Mushrooms! Apparently, something went definitely wrong in a lab on campus, and in the aftermath of all that crazyness, Laura, LaFontaine and Perry have to deal with what the test results from the fluid found in Sarah-Jane and Natalie's room revealed: Brain Parasites! If only Carmilla could help ...

Freaked out about all the crazyness and wanting to get some normalcy, Perry gets into an argument with LaFontaine and leaves the room. At night, Laura wakes from a scary dream, in which a girl in a nightdress warns her to not go into the hungry light. Is it Carmilla's ex lover Ell? Another dangerous research trip to the ominous library is inevitable.

Laura, LaFontaine and Carmilla return from the library with an old Sumerian book and a new very old friend, J-P Armitage, a junior records clerk from 1874 whose consciousness was sucked into the library catalogue and who now exists digitally on a flash drive. While Carmilla helps to translate the contents of the book, Perry comes looking for LaFontaine.

Perry is devastated and blames herself for LaFontaine taken hostage by some evil vampire minions. Carmilla reassures Laura that nothing that happened is her fault - and they figure out that they have to warn Kirsch about his bro Will being a vampire. After he left, the roomies take some time for a crushing waltz á la mode of 1698.

In the very early morning, Laura and Carmilla are woken up by Perry who devoured her time to cleaning and making brownies to calm herself down about LaFontaine's disappearance. When they hit the Sumerien book, and accidentally spill some blood on it, they discover a hidden scripture about the demonic hungry light, Lophiiformes. Enter LaFontaine!

Despite LaFontaine remembering nothing, Laura, Carmilla and Perry try to piece together what might have happened and why? Unexpectedly, LaFontaine's phone audio recorded a portion of the course of the events, and they can figure out that this is all part of an ancient cultish ritual in honour of Lophiiformes, scheduled for the new moon next Friday.

Laura tries to get an extension on her term paper by asking Danny - but that doesn't end very well. Meanwhile, Carmilla and J-P find out that they have to secure the Blade of Hastur, a weapon that's powerful enough to destroy the evil on the campus once and for all. However, the evil is right onto them, or, more precisely, right into Laura.

Possessed by The Dean via an evil necklace, Carmilla's "mother" shows up embodied in Laura, striking to make a deal with her "daughter" about not threatening the cultish sacrifice under any circumstances. While she's at it, she destroys the flash drive on which J-P was saved, and let Will take Kirsch hostage as the last victim instead of Laura herself.

Realizing that she's run out of options and not knowing about the deal between Carmilla and The Dean, Laura decides to appeal to the student body at a school event - and learns that tomatoes can fly and nobody will hear her out. Even worse, she discovers a huge video file on her computer that reveals some harsh truth about her roomy.

Laura's kind of emotional meltdown is stopped when she realizes that they could use LaFontaine's urge to join the party - a.k.a. the ritual - by letting her go and following her into the decisive battle. Gathering the troops, she hopes that Carmilla will fight on her side - with unpredictable outcome for all of them.

Something very unexpected happened: Laura and the gang won! They won the battle against The Dean and the evil hungry light, saving the 3 missing girls Betty, Natalie and Elsie, as well as LaFontaine and Kirsch, who all got rid of the brain parasites when the light was struck by a giant black cat: Carmilla. Sadly, Laura's beloved roomy didn't make it ...

After the dust of the battle settled, Laura is recording for her journalism project one last time to talk about the aftermath, including the return of her formerly lost roommate Betty, strange tremors that occur from time to time on the campus, the fortunate discovery of JP's backup - until Perry storms into her room to announce a surprising visitor ...

Laura and her gang just returned to Silas University - turns out fleeing the scene of an epic battle isn't as easy as it sounds. After Carmilla scored them some swish new digs, and LaFontaine being a bit annoying, the time has come for the two love-birds to enjoy the sweetness of young tender romance - until Perry shows up completely freaked out.

Perry just had a horrific encounter that left her all covered in blood, which is now dropping on the ancient carpet: The student newspaper staff at the "Voice of Silas" was brutally slayed dead. Laura realizes that fleeing the campus wasn't the right thing to do; and since there's no one else left to bring light to this, it's her duty to stay and solve the mysterious crime.

To take some action against the chaos, Laura creates a news segment which informs the students on campus about what's going on, called the "Silas News Network" (SNN). On her channel, she invites the representatives of the figthing student groups, the Zetas and the Summers, to a meeting to mend fences. And, yes, they show up at their doorstep.

When the Zetas and the Summers have difficulties to agree on a truce, Kirsch suggests that Danny and himself could voluntarily represent both faculties during the time of the investigation into the murder of the newspaper staff. After they leave, Laura and Carmilla have some needed privacy to "talk" - until Perry enters, shaken up by something horrible, again.

With the help of Carmilla, Laura and LaFontaine try to decipher the wicked dream that Perry had while a threat was inscribed on her stomach in Latin. They decide to look through the files of the Dead Journalists Society for clues and find some notes about Silas University's Board of Governors. In the morning, the Chair of the Board makes her grand entrance.

Drum roll: Introducing, Matska Belmonde, the Chair of the Board, also the "daughter" of The Dean who comes for sweet revenge, also called Mattie, especially by Carmilla, who can save Laura from the deadly fangs of her older "sister" - at least for now. Not save at all: Laura's broadcasts on SNN, which will be joined by Mattie, to balance out their pro-human bias.

After learning from Mattie that they're living in The Dean's old apartment, Laura feels a bit icky and needs a few answers from Carmilla. And by answers, she doesn't mean the kind of gibbery that she gets from Mattie on her next SNN broadcast - worst PR stunt ever! After Laura calms down, LaFontaine has some more disturbing news.

The sudden disappearance of the library causes J-P to malfunction due to having power issues, while the Summers and the Zetas start to protest against the Chair of the Board interfering in their activities. Mattie makes clear that she won't have any discussion about it - loud and clear.

After Mattie explained that the Board has to make big cuts, Laura and the gang find out that they also intent to sell off the demonic anglerfish Lophiiformes, the demigod that was woken up during the battle and that is now stuck in the huge crater, almost ready and loose to destroy the whole world. Out of options: What if Carmilla spies on her "sister"?

Reluctant, Carmilla decides to have a chat with her big "sis" about what she and the Board are up to. Meanwhile, Laura and her friends make a visit to the anglerfish crater and find out that an excavation team from a company called Corvae Corporation is searching for a First Gate. Back at the apartment, Kirsch storms in, asking for shelter.

As it turns out, when Kirsch volunteered to help the Summers in their Adonis hunt, little did he know that they decided to make him the stag for this year's killing. At the last second, Danny intervenes before the final shot - causing some disdain with her Summer sister Melanippe "Mel" Callis who was ready for the kill.

After a cosy evening with Carmilla, Laura plans to follow a new lead and meets with the inside source of the killed newspaper staff, who is also one of the members of the Board of Governors of Silas University: Cornelius Hans Albrecht, Lügenbaron von Vordenberg. During the meeting, Perry shows up, once again freaking out.

LaFontaine calms Perry down by explaining that they managed to transfer J-P into Will's body, the evil vampire bro that was stacked by Perry during the battle. In the meantime, Baron von Vordenberg expresses some reluctance to help Laura in the investigation, on account of her association with Carmilla.

In what seems to be a last effort to save their freedom, Laura and Danny try to start a student protest - to no avail. Confident in her power as the Chair of the Board, Mattie is about to harvest - until J-P brings up the Board's requirement of a student representative. So, Laura pushes Carmilla to become their spokesperson.

Carmilla isn't comfortable to represent the student's body on the Board of Governors, which would mean going against her "sister". She gets into a heavy argument with Laura about their different - and perhaps unsurmountable - expectations that they have of each other, cracking up a rift between them.

After her breakup with Carmilla, Laura notices that all of the terrible habits of her former roomy slash ex-girlfriend manifest again in their new, kind of seperated living arrangement. Meanwhile, Danny, as the new student representative on the Board, reports that Mattie plans to have a vote on selling off parts of the student body's bodies.

To find a way to stop Mattie, J-P informs the gang that she could be removed if she's challenged by another Board member in conflict. Laura comes up with the idea to try to get Baron von Vordenberg ready for verbal debate, but victory looks unlikely. Until Perry shows up - this time, unshaken.

Armed with the information that Perry dug up, Laura blackmails Mattie with incriminating files during the illustrious debate, resulting in her defeat. Baron von Vordenberg takes over her place as the Chair of the Board, with terrible consequences none of the gang could have imagined before.

Not only due to Carmilla continuing to act out, Baron von Vordenberg's agenda to hunt and kill all vampires on campus finds a lot of followers, even among the Zetas and the Summers. While Perry laments the strange and dangerous events that she's caught up in, and J-P and LaFontaine try to console her, Mattie barges into their apartment.

Struggling to help Carmilla and to find a middle ground in their relationship, Laura makes a deal with Mattie to hide her and her "sister" in their apartment in exchange to their promise that whey will stop their predatory spree on campus. They agree, but Baron von Vordenberg's troops are already on their way.

Laura and the gang manage to hide Mattie and Carmilla under the floorboards and avoid them being caught by Baron von Vordenberg's patrol, especially with the help of Danny, who covers for them. After the coast is clear, Mattie and Carmille reemerge - only to meet Perry's angry sprinkle of holy water.

The attack on Mattie results in an uproar: Mattie knocks out Perry, Laura manages to save her from being killed, which results in Laura almost being strangled by the angry vampire. Later at night, Carmilla tells Laura in confidence about Mattie's only weakness in case she has to defend herself and her ex-lover isn't around.

While classes have resumed, Laura and the gang have difficulties to adjust to the dangerous living conditions under the new rules of Baron von Vordenberg. Danny comes by and reveals to Laura that she's an outcast of the Summer Society since stopping the Adonis hunt - she has nowhere to go. Enter LaFontaine, with terrible news, again.

LaFontaine reports that the Zetas started to remove the protesters from the crater in which the demonic anglerfish is stuck. To get more informations, Laura and Danny try to tap into Kirsch's knowledge - to no avail. Without a better idea, Laura and the gang try to blackmail their vampire rommies by starving them - they really shouldn't have done that.

After Danny is barely able to pull hungry vampire J-P off of LaFontaine's neck, Laura continues to interrogate Mattie about the possible evil plan that Baron von Vordenberg might have. Mattie doesn't seem to know, but she remembers some ominous weapon that would help them to get rid of him. Later that day, Laura tells Danny a secret.

Learning that Mattie and Carmilla are about to drink the blood of the evil demigod in the crater in order to gain the power to fight Baron von Vordenberg and his forces, Laura tries to stop them. However, Mattie escapes after a heavy argument about her naïve righteousness, which means Laura has to round up the gang to find her.

After their fruitless search, Kirsch and Danny have a heart to heart about their romance slash friendship. Accidentally, he reveals that the Zetas are helping Baron von Vordenberg to kill the giant anglerfish god in the crater. Before they try to sabotage their efforts, Laura and Carmilla share a moment alone, revealing that love doesn't concer all.

When Laura and Carmilla return from the crater, they find Mattie passed out in the apartment, with blood on her hands and around her mouth - while Perry is missing. To find out what happened, they check Laura's webcam footage: A doomsday prophecy was spoken! Enter: Baron von Vordenberg.

Despite that he promised to Danny that he will leave it alone, Baron von Vordenberg reveals his ambition to kill the anglerfish god. Which leads Mattie to attack him, only held back by Danny, resulting in a fight between them, when Danny ultimately snatches the locket around her neck and stomps on it - her only weakness.

Mattie dies in her sister's arms. Full of rage, Carmilla is eager to take immediate, cruel revenge, when Laura steps between them, revealing that she told Danny about how to kill a mocking vampire threat. Angry and furious about the murder and Laura's betrayal of confidence, she tells everyone to keep distance from her - and leaves.

Reeling from Mattie's death, Carmilla's furious departure, Perry's sudden return to the apartment without any memory of what happened to her, and Baron von Vordenberg's goons closing in on them after they killed the anglerfish god, Laura and the gang barricade their quarters and hope for the best.

From inside the apartment, Laura witnesses Carmilla's attempt to get to the crater and drink the demigod's blood. When LaFontaine points out that pining over her lost lover won't help them, Laura comes to her senses and puts together another SNN broadcast to warn the students. But how to get rid of the evil Lügenbaron?

Out of ideas, Perry makes a final suggestion to destroy the Charter of Silas University that gives the Chair of the Board her or his power to reign. While debating this approach, the Zetas and the Summers call into Laura's network and propose to doublecross Baron von Vordenberg with the help of Danny. Should Laura and the gang trust them after all?

As the siege gets worse and Baron von Vordenberg gets closer, Laura tries one last time to ask for help and break through to Carmilla via her online network. Her ex-roomy slash ex-girlfriend contacts her - only to decline being the hero once more. Laura has to accept it, and leaves to help Danny and the others - only to miss Carmilla's second last call.

After Laura and Danny were able to bring back a severely injured Kirsch to the apartment, Danny steps out again and seems to be victorious. Alas, one of Kirsch's Zeta bros, Theo, stabs her in the back, leaving her die in Laura's arms. The fight is over - and Baron von Vordenberg announces his victory and the impending execution of Carmilla Karnstein.

Baron von Vordenberg literally holding a sword over her beloved ex-roomy's slash ex-girlfriend's shiny vampire neck, Laura has a choice she's never had to make before in her life: betray herself and all that she wants to stand up for in her life, or save Carmilla from ultimate death and free all her friends from the evil reign of the Lügenbaron.

Trapped in the Library of Silas University, Laura and Carmilla find some old VHS tapes that contain footage from 2012, the year in which freshmen Perry and Mel have been forcefully locked into an interrogation room, awaiting a certain Inquisitor. Oh, and their periods have been missing for 3 months.

Ever the lazy investigator, Carmilla tries to pin the blame on either Perry or Mel. To distract from herself, Perry suggests to interview Kirsch, who's trapped in a room underneath them, about what's happening on the campus.

Perry & Mel review the evidence so far and try to figure out why the girls on campus stopped having their periods, while Carmilla "enacts violence" on the poor Zeta bro below.

In her best Harry Potter impression, Perry attempts a spell to find the magical culprit behind the "Redwing Migration", in order to reveal supernatural beings and find out what exactly happened at the swim team party.

Carmilla interrogates all suspects once again, while Perry is convinced that the strange happenings on the campus are magic-related. Mel has a really hard time believing in the existence of the supernatural.

Discussing whether the Zetas may be responsible for the girls not having their periods, Carmilla, Perry and Mel agree that they make a convincing scapegoat - mythology connections and all. Also, turns out that even Carmilla is stuck in the chamber - what does this mean?

Backed into a corner, Mel lets it slip that she may have had ulterior motives to go to the party in regards to literally "meat up" the Zetas, so to speak - which also means the suspicions revert back to her. Meanwhile, Kirsch sprouts an unfortunate pair of donkey ears - weird.

Mel reveals why she went to the swim team party, while Carmilla finds out that the "Redwing Migration" is connected to a larger mystical force than the regular players on campus. If even The Dean is worried, than that spell means trouble.

Going over their findings again and hitting a magical book, the strange bedfellows may have found their culprit: the bloodthirsty, capricious, probably megalomaniacal Fairy Queen Tythia.

The girls share the myriad of ways they might put the Fairy Queen back into the statue and stop her nefarious plans - when Perry finally reveals she's the one who most likely let her out accidentally by wishing for something and hoping she gets it.

With a magical batting average of zero point five, Perry attempts to call upon Tythia with a spell. Of course, the Fairy Queen tempts the girls with fulfilling their heart's most desires in order to dissuade Perry. Will she do the right thing?

Perry faces a choice: Rule the universe with Tythia to the detriment of everyone else, or trap her back into the statue. After witnessing the truly horrendous hidden face of the universe, Perry clamps down on the weird and tells Carmilla None Of This Ever Happened. And so, we've found out "how Perry became such a pressed lemon ..."

Growing weary of the research frenzy following the discovery that Perry is now, apparently, possessed by The Dean, Laura turns to DIY library improvements and Carmilla stages an intervention.

Our heroes deal with a slight change to their water supply, a sassy entity and a killer pair of eyewear.

When The Dean says one thing and does another, LaFontaine and Carmilla research, rattle and roll their way to what might be ... a clue? Laura knits. Aggressively.

Under what could be a siege or just some very aggressive extra-library maneuvers, our heroes' only chance at survival seems to be to go in "a room full of knives." Will they take the leap?

In which creativity is applied to a situation screaming out for it, Jp 3.0 finds a way for our heroes to listen in at Casa Dean again.

Ooops - so after THAT particular indiscretion, our heroes get to work on Plan B, since Plan A is rife with emotional baggage that probably should be unpacked, just not at this particular moment. Demon Summoning 101, anyone?

Startled by the sudden appearance of a ghost from their past, Laura and Carmilla are faced with a complex decision involving Laura's vocabulary and spelling skills.

So remember when Laura said that all of the talismans had a deep connection to whatever carries the most personal baggage for her? Yikes at this last one. YIKES.

Surrounded by squishy emotions and hormones to boot, LaFontaine's quest to save Perry reaches some very interesting conclusions. Because avoiding feelings is totally a thing.

Their hands forced by LaFontaine's excellent application of elephant tranqs, Laura and Carmilla attempt to make the most of their new housemate ... an exorcism ensues.

Stuck in a faerie circle, the Dean plays her hand, and her emotional manipulation, and her very clever application of many, many hurtful words. Our heroes are in for a rough night ...

Mattie returns from ... wherever it was The Dean sent her (probably Siberia) with a new, grand plan that totally won't end badly for our heroes ... hint hint wink wink nudge nudge.

Laura and Carmilla confront that pesky age difference thing y'all are always joking about on tumblr ... among other things.

Checking in with Mel turns into a slightly messier endeavor than initially hoped for.

Mel and Kirsch have differing opinions on how awesome LaFontaine is.

Carmilla deals with the consequences of Laura's choice. What was taken is restored, what was bargained, granted. A journey, ending. I'm not crying you are.
