[Carmie] Ugh! No. No!
This cannot be happening.
I am not going without at the Fan Con.
It has to be here.
Where is it?
If I was a missing outfit, where would I be?
[knock on door] [Aiden] Carmie!
Carmie, come on! We won't even act like we know you.
Aiden, Jayden, I told you you can't come with me.
[Aiden] Ugh. You're the worst sister.
Whoa.
You planning on staying overnight?
Oh, I'm not taking all of this.
I just planned this entire outfit
for Kev's unveiling of his new comic book,
and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Tristan] Aw. You haven't changed.
So, you coming with us?
With you and your humans? No way.
You should fly with me.
We'd take half the time.
I can't. Kev is gonna be way too nervous
with the release of his new comic.
Wait. I thought you two weren't talking.
We aren't, but still,
I need to be supportive.
I promised.
Well, I hope he's as good of a friend to you when you need him.
You'll be blown away when you get there and meet everyone.
Seriously. You'll feel like you truly belong.
All right. I'm out.
I'll see you on the other side.
Back up.
[giggles]
He said he wants to see me on the other side.
Got you.
Eh.
Fan Con, here I come.

♪
[people cheer and chatter]
Welcome back to Leanna Live,
streaming from the world's greatest geek fest, Fan Con.
Awesome!
[Leanna] Look at all the people here to see Kev's new comic.
Oh, you guys are going to love this.
Geek is chic here at Fan Con.
[gasps] Comment on the con lifers.
Fan Con.
A gathering of idea thieves,
hucksters and bamboozlers.
Visual artists, writers, graphic novelists.
[Dylan] The entire spectrum of humanity and beyond
in one place, with me ready to hunt.
Man. I was born for this moment.
Yeah. [app chiming]
I know what you're thinking. Moi?
Fan Con? Why? For you, my Leanna Lifers.
All exclusive BTS content
of Kev's premiere of his new comic is yours.
Remember, to love me is to love yourselves.
Oh. Look who we have here. Carmela.
Carmie, don't walk out of camera.
Will we even find Jewel?
If she's here, yes.
But these goggles will reveal
any Gorgon in their human form.
Well, the Van Helsings have never been wrong.
Now, listen to me, my boy.
All things at Fan Con are not what they seem.
Things that look free are in fact not actually free.
Ever.
And don't make eye contact with any of the booth operators,
unless you're ready to pay hundreds of dollars
for merchandise that is meaningless.
They are masters of the art of persuasion.
Who are you talking to?
I've had every mythical creature in the world
try and trap, evade or end me. I can handle Fan Con.
Yes. Well, that's what we all think.
Until one day, you rush Iron Man for a picture,
and security gets upset
and they slam you against the ground
and ban you for a decade.
Is that what happened to you?
Uh, nope. Not at all.
Excuse me.
[woman] Tickets, please. Go ahead.
[woman] Great. Thank you. So, you're talking to me now?
No. I'm just being polite. Why are you even here?
I'm here for Tristan, and to support you.
I even wore this dumb cosplay.
You're welcome. Who asked?
And thank you. I'm all good not talking to each other.
Fine.
[Leanna] Kev, the Lifers need to know.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I'm not in the mood, Leanna.
Okay. Back in a second.
In the meantime, go check out my top ten high school moments
linked in my bio.
I refreshed it.
Both of you, get it together!
This is ruining my-- our content.
The optics are terrible for the fan base, i.e.
the launch of Kev's new comic.
Not a chance. I'm together.
Okay. We're going to do an emotional exercise
my mother and I had to do, and it saved our relationship.
Carmie, say one nice thing about Kev.
Hmm? Uh
Fine. If you won't speak, we'll just binge-watch
all my contouring tutorials.
No. Fine.
Okay.
Kev can keep a secret.
Nice. And?
And? You said I only have to say one thing.
Let's not get caught up in semantics. Speak.
And he knows things. A lot of things.
Random things
that don't make sense until they do.
Hey. Very good answer. Kev, now it's your turn.
Hmm?
Do you ever want me to style your hair again?
She sees me like no one else does.
She makes me feel I belong.
That I matter. [Leanna] Mm-hmm?
We're all here today because you matter.
Really? Yes. A lot.
Hmm.
I missed you!
[Carmie] I missed you, too. I was never gone.
Yes, you were!
You and Dylan were the ones who were acting
Okay. Going backwards.
Finally reunited. Hashtag, KevCarm.
I really need my own podcast.
Jameela Jamil could learn from me. Reunion shot.
We're okay. All good here.
Okay.
[Kev] There are so many geeks like me-- us.
So, Carmie, Kev. So, talking, not talking?
Talking. Definitely.
Cool, because you both need to see this.
Nice.
Whoa. What are these?
A Helsing original. Gorgon-spotting goggles.
Check out the Collector.
Hey! Give that back.
The Collector is a Gorgon?
And you're just finding out about this?
What's a Gorgon?
A Mythic whose glare will turn you to stone.
They don't really get invited out much.
Well, are you ready? The hunt is on.
See you guys.
Kev!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What is this? It's your schedule.
We're only here for one day.
And you'll work every second of it.
Leanna, you know most of these
are just about your outfit changes.
Mm-hmm. We are a team, so his schedule is my schedule.
Come on. Tristan?
Yeah. He told me he'd call me when he got here.
But maybe he's just looking for me.
Go find him, then come by my booth.
Bring him by.
If he's your friend, he's also mine.
Thanks, Kev. I will. Promise.

[battle cry]
This is so awesome.
Wow! Cool hair.
You look just like Carmela.
But, like, totally not. Thanks. I
Oh. No, no. Uh
Hey. Wait a minute.
A Vampling can't be photographed
without their inner light showing.
You are Carmela! The real one.
Oh, no. It's makeup.
Everyone, everyone, it's her! Carmela.
Oh.
This is incredible!
[clamouring] [cameras clicking]
Not me. You must be mistaken.
[man] Blended.
[woman] A vampire.
[they squeal and scream]
Look! Gorgon. Where? Where?
No way. Let's get her.
Is she real? I want her cape.
Leanna, why are we even doing all of this?
Because of that.
[people cheer] Hi, Kev.
Woo! Kev!
They're all here for me?
When I put a call out to Leanna Lifers,
they show and pay.
Autographs $10, pictures $20.
This can't be happening.
These are your people.
Let's go. Move along. Doo-doo-doo. Here. Sit.
Hi, Kev. I love your comic.
So, who's your new comic about?
Thanks, Kev.
Okay. Hi, Kev.
Okay. Here's the plan: I'll cover sections A through H,
and you take I through L,
and we'll meet back here at 1400 hours.
Fourteen? Uh, okay. Uh At 6:00?
Also, what happened with N through Z?
That's the parking lot. She's way too young to be a valet.
Now, stay focused.
Now, we only have one pair of goggles.
Yes. Well, I don't need any of those, all right?
I would recognize my own daughter anywhere.
That's an old picture.
Anywhere.
She went this way. I need a selfie!
[woman] Where'd she go?
[people chatter and squeal]
Psst.
Finally. I thought I'd have to wail at you.
You're a Yep.
Blended. [chuckles]
Wow. You look so cool.
How did you know I was a Blended?
Firstly, speed echo.
Second, unconvincing costume.
And most importantly, we all have a tell.
We? Me and my friends.
Come on. I'll introduce you. [giggles]
Have you ever met a Mer-Teen or a Spectra, perhaps?
[Carmie] Wow.
[sighs] I'm not alone.
You guys are all different, like me.
And what are you, exactly? If you don't mind us asking.
[snarls]
A Vampling? Dope!
Called it.
And if you don't mind me asking, what are all of you?
Ye-lena is a Mer-Teen. A mermaid-in-training.
[Ye-Lena] My powers aren't fully developed yet,
but water is totally my jam.
Stand back.
That's so cool.
You want to see what's really cool?
Tomas loves doing that.
And you are a A Spectra.
Half-human, half-spirit.
My people!
Your turn. Show us what you got.
Do it again.
Later. What are your powers?
I'm a Banshian. My voice is one of my powers.
[silence]
I'm sorry. Am I missing something?
[silence] [glass shatters]
Wow. That's handy.
Carmie? Finally.
Where have you been?
With my Blended friends.
Jasmine, Tomas, Ye-lena?
Tristan. Warrior fairy.
What's up, guys?
Carmie, I have someone who wants to meet you.
Okay. Uh, see you guys later?
[Jasmine] Definitely, Carmie.
[chuckles]
[Collector] All of these are not up to par.
Is there something else you have?
Perhaps with wings a darker colour?
Ah. Fantastic.
This is quite good but-- What are you doing?
A collector collects, hmm?
Do you think she'll like this?
Yeah. I found her.
What? Did you not hear me?
She's here.
Uh, what do I say?
Maybe "hello." I think "hi" would be better.
There.
[Collector] It's her.
What are you waiting for? Go. Go.
Hello. I--
Hi. Oh. I'm so sorry.
Hmm?
I thought you were my someone else.
Oh, please forgive me.
[sighs]
Hey! Hey.
You made it. Come to our booth.
Not here. She's too old. I'll never find her.
Selfie? Oh, we love selfies.
Cheese.
Hey, Kev.
Have you seen Carmie?
She said she'd be here.
I'm sure she will be.
I'm just trying to see where your Q and A is.
I'm doing a Q and A? Hey, Kev.
Yes. That's my new brilliant idea.
I need to get you out in the public
to show them who you really are.
Uh
okay, but I'll only expose a small part of myself.
There's still dark recesses that I refuse to explore.
You scare me and thrill me simultaneously.
Keep signing.
Show time. Thanks, Kev.
Thanks, Kev. Sweet.
[Carmie] I can't believe we're really here.
I've never met so many me's.
[Tristan] You having fun?
Absolutely. I love Fan Con.
Imagine living out loud like this forever.
You don't have to imagine. Let those humans hide from us.
It's our turn.
You don't have to be what they want you to be anymore.
Welcome to Fan Con.
As promised.
Hello, Carmela.
It's Carmie.
You know who I am?
No.
Carmie
I'm your mother.
My mother wouldn't have left me.
I sent you away to protect you.
To keep you safe until the day
you would end the battle between human and Mythics,
fulfilling the prophecy.
No.
I don't care about the prophecy.
Humans raised me. Good humans.
And I'm not going to lead someone
who captures Blendeds and doesn't let them make a choice.
I've been collecting Blendeds to keep them safe from humans.
Humans that killed your father.
Your father was a human,
and he disappeared around the time of your birth.
No!
[voice echoing]
No!
[snarls]
[electricity zapping]
You can't give up now. Okay? She could still be here.
Look, Dylan.
Not all fairy tales end with happily ever after.
Hey, Helsing.
Do I know you?
What's the matter with you? The waterfront.
The Goblin.
How can you not tell?
I bet you remember these.
[snarls]
Goblin?
You got it.
Hey, how's it going with that Vampling girl, Carmela?
She here?
Yeah. Why?
Easy, easy!
Hey. Where'd you get those? I made them.
They're for spotting Gorgons.
They're for a little more than that.
Kid, you didn't need me after all.
You could have read the skin yourself with those.
What? Have you got it?
You said this was for evil.
Good, evil. Up, down.
What's the difference? Ooh.
Your father stayed and fought
so you and I could escape the hunters.
You needed to be hidden, protected,
until the day you could understand that
you are the one to end the war
and unite all humans and Mythics in peace.
Peace?
I never wanted you to carry this burden
until you were of age.
That's why I gave you to a family
that could raise you in safety.
So, you wanted me?
I wanted everything for you.
And for our entire world.
I had to protect you, Carmie.
After centuries of pain,
you are the one that will bring the two worlds together.
You lied to me.
I will never live with humans over me.
They must be destroyed!
[Carmie] No!
[screams]
[Shapeshifter] Tristan, what have you done?
[heartbeats]
[groans]
[Carmie] I'm not alone.
You guys are all different, like me.
High school is really turning out
just like you planned.
[crowd cheers]
This is the best day of my life.
I'm going to the dance!
Our baby. She's all grown up.
Carmela? Carmela!
I'm not one of you guys, and he sees me for who I am.
[Tristan] Help me!
[Carmie] I'm scared.
Who am I to think I could do this?
No! [echoing]
I'm not good enough. I'm nobody.
Don't ever say that.
We have some fixing we need to do.
See you soon. [Shapeshifter] Carmela?
[heartbeats continue]
[howls]
I wanted to be someone special, not just an outsider looking in.
Why did you adopt me?
We weren't even sure that we could have kids at the time.
I love you guys.
I thought we would have one more year before everything changed.
One last year to be kids.
I'm still a kid.
A Vampling kid.
I never thought I was a freak.
You're not a freak. You're my best friend.
I believe I broke my unremarkable streak.
[heartbeat slows]
Please.
Come back to me.
Let her go!
She's not the one.
I will lead the Mythics to destroy all humans.
We need you.
I need you.
Carmela,
don't leave me.
I need you.
