[edit] Synopsis
With hopes of unseating Cole as the ruler of the Underworld, a Vampire Queen orders her fanged charges to attack Paige and turn her into a blood-sucker to get a Charmed One on their side. Paige's undead transformation isn't sealed until she takes her first victim, and the Vampire Queen urges her to feed on her two sisters, Phoebe and Piper.

[edit] Enemies
- Grimlocks: Grimlocks are demons who steal the sight of innocent children, and use their sight to see the auras of good people, whom they must kill.
- Harpy Demons: a clan of fierce, female demons, with sharp, talon like claws. They are immune to a witch's power.
- Furies: Furies are mythical demons that act as judge, jury, and executioner to anyone they consider an evil doer. They can go after a shoplifter as soon as a murderer and they take great pleasure in the kill. When they focus their thoughts on someone, they force him to hear the cries of all his former victims. The smoke of a Fury will kill bad people, but in good people, it will open a portal of unexpressed fury, it builds until it consumes their humanity and turn them into a fury. Furies normally move around by smoke-type of demonic teleportation.
- Vampires: Vampires are underground, blood thirsty demons who attack their victims in either human or bat form. Their victim, however, does not become a vampire until they bite their first prey. They have been exiled from the Underworld for centuries by the Source for trying to overthrow him, led by their ruler, the Vampire Queen. When a person is bitten by a vampire (either in bat or in human form), he or she will become one as well, although the real transformation into a vampire only takes place once blood is spilled/sucked. Paige was turned into a vampire in season four, but didn't bite an innocent, so she didn't transform fully. Vampires are immune to witch's powers, but can be killed by the Power of Three and traditional means like stake through the heart, fire, and holy water, and they explode when vanquished. Vampires can also be killed by killing the vampire who sired them, or by killing the Vampire Queen.

[edit] Trivia
- This episode's title is actually a reference you use when you wish to insult them. In the case of the episode plot tie-in, it is also what a vampire does when it attacks a victim.
- Phoebe discovers she is pregnant in this episode.
- At one point Leo says that Vampires were ostracized from the Underworld for centuries, that as far as he knew, they're a part of a whole different network now. This is a reference to the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which had recently jumped networks, from The WB to UPN.
- A new Vampire Queen is shown later in the series denoting that there are various vampire covens, each with a queen of their own.
- When Piper and Phoebe are in the graveyard and Phoebe leans on the tombstone, there are dead leaves all over the top of it. Later in the scene, it's clear.
- When Paige is leaving P3 you can see the lot has puddles all over it but when she falls the ground after the first bite it is dry, then when the camera pans out after the attack it has puddles again.
- When the Fury shows up for Cole's meeting, she has regular hands and not talons. Furies don't get talons until after their first kill, but since the people at the meeting seemed to be the leaders of their group this wouldn't make sense for the Furies to be represented by a novice member. Also, it wouldn't make sense for the Fury to be at the meeting considering they punish evil people, although they may only punish evil humans.
- When Phoebe and Piper chased the Grimlock Leader, he ran and then shimmered out.
