When it’s humanity versus a vampiric apocalypse, the lines are generally pretty clearly drawn. There is one ancient vampire, however, whose loyalty is very much in question. When Hansen (Neil McDonough) was last seen, he was saving his adopted daughter Jack (Nicole Munoz) from his fellow brides. In the next episode of ‘Van Helsing’, Jack and Violet (Keeya King) go back to rescue him in turn, and it appears that Hansen has not yet run out of secrets. 

Hansen has been a slow burn of a redemptive arc ever since the reveal of his vampiric nature earlier this season. Since then, we’ve learned that while his daughters are lab-grown attempts at giving Hansen his own Van Helsings, he seems to genuinely care for them. We also know that he once worked for Jacob van Helsing as Wilhelm. After Wilhelm was turned, he was forced to betray Jacob, turning him into a vampire on Dracula’s behalf, but Hansen’s claimed to have had enough - he’s done with betrayals.

In the promo, we see Jack and Violet go to rescue their adoptive father from the wrath of the other brides. All is not forgiven, however, and while confronting Hansen about their origins, his attempts to explain it is frustrating enough for him to revert to his true form — that of Wilhelm. 

The official synopsis reads “Now that Violet knows where the 3 Pages are, she returns to Fort Collins with Axel and Julius.” With the team reunited and only three episodes left in the season, the endgame is fast approaching. Jack and Violet need to hurry to find the three pages that will allow them to find a way to end the Dark One, once and for all. 

The next episode of ‘Van Helsing’, ‘All Apologies’ airs December 6 on Syfy.
