The Drawing Board
Edit
With Annie gone and Mitchell privately coping with the killing he has done (as well as the threat of Kemp rectified), Nina, George and Mitchell decided to gather their bearings. They found it best to lay low for a while and figure out a way to get Annie back.
- George: Mitchell that is out of the question!

Added by The Powers That Be - Mitchell: Well if you have any other options, George I'd love to hear them. But right now, I'm going.
- George: Nina, can you please tell Mitchell that he has gone completely, and I mean completely mad? And that's not even the half it because, frankly, as far as best possible options go, another one of my friends being stuck in purgatory is just the worst!
- Mitchell: Then what other option is there?
- Nina: Mitchell's right...I just don't think there's much of a choice if we want to get Annie back.
- George: Oh my god! [starts pacing the floor, before turning back to Nina, saying in a slightly high pitched voice] I-Is it too much to ask to have one day, just one with out having to worry about my friends somehow getting themselves into something that might make them disappear forever? Is that too much to ask?
- Nina: [sighs, says to Mitchell] Maybe there's a way to ensure you'll be able to come back.
- Mitchell: Look, its purgatory. I doubt there's some kind of herbal remedy that'll keep me from crossing over.
- Nina: Really Mitchell? Really? Are you actually pretending to be incredulous of the fact that people can come back from the dead?
- Mitchell:.....[hesitates]What? No! I just think...there are rules to this sort of thing! ...Right?
The Great Revelation
Edit
While they continued to figure out a plan of action, news of the Great Revelation started to spread around the globe. The roomies found out through television news and they grappled with what was going on in America, especially vampire rights .
- George: Look at you Mitchell! What are they calling it now? That you're...'out of the coffin'?
- Mitchell: Ugh, would you stop saying that? That would make much more sense if we actually slept in coffins. Some of us are more progressive than that. I mean, if you're going to make a catchphrase, can't they at least make it somewhat accurate?
- George: But Mitch, don't you know what this means? You can finally be a valid, authentic part of society without having to hide what you are! You know what? We should celebrate --
- Mitchell: [sighs] I am not celebrating --

Added by The Powers That Be - George: -- We could go out tonight. All three of us, and we'll announce to the whole pub "HEY! MY FRIEND MITCH IS A VAMPIRE!" [laughs] I think we could get free drinks - hey! Nina, you think we could get free drinks?! And maybe Mitch can try that Tru Blood stuff they keep ratting on about.
- Mitchell: George, can we - can we not do this?
- George: Oh come on. I honestly think this is the uplift we all need. Right, Nina?
- Nina: Well I wouldn't be opposed to a night out myself. Goodness knows we've had a rough few weeks.
- Mitchell: Go on without me. - No, seriously. Have fun.
- George: But Mitchell, this is your big day. [sits with him on the couch] You can finally face the world, tell the world what you are, and no one will think of you as some... freak of nature. They'll see you like we see you, Mitchell. A good friend, a good man. You'll--
- Mitchell: No. No, just stop. Okay?![suddenly stands, looks at both werewolves who, in turn, gaze at him with worried expressions. Mitchell chooses his words carefully at this point. They don't know what he's done.] Don't you see? This is a distraction. This is distracting us from figuring out a way to get Annie back. I mean look at us - it's like we've already accepted that she's gone.
- George: She is not gone, Mitchell. We are going to get her back.
- [suddenly the TV conks out and starts emitting static]
- Nina: What was that about?
- Mitchell: [rushes to the TV, George and Nina following suit] It's Annie.
- Annie: [her image appears within the static of the TV] Mitchell? George?
- George: Annie!
- Mitchell: [touches the screen] Annie, Annie, we're here. Are you okay?
- Annie: M-Mitchell, they said they're not going to keep me here much longer... [clearly a bit panicked, near tears].
- Mitchell: I'm coming to get you, Annie!
- Annie: No, Mitchell, you can't! If you come here, they won't let any one of us out.
- Mitchell: I don't care, Annie. I'm going--
- Annie: Please, guys, listen to me! I heard whispers from some of the people who disappeared. I'm not supposed to speak of them but...they talked about a way to summon ghosts from this place.
- George: How, Annie?

Added by The Powers That Be - Annie: There's this magic guru, a wizard of some sort. Apparently he can bring someone through the door and drag them out through some type of mystical pull.
- Nina: Wait - how do we know if that's going to work?
- Annie: I have to go. His name is Merrill, he's in New York City. [starts blending into the static] Mitchell please don't........on your own. They will........us both.....
- Mitchell: Annie? Annie!
- [Annie fades out]
- George:....wait. Did she say... New York?
A New Start in New York
Edit
It was settled. The roomies packed their things and went over seas, getting a new home in New York City. George viewed it as a new adventure amongst friends but he wasn't too excited about leaving behind his familiar home. 
Added by The Powers That BeGeorge and Nina got a job easily at a hospital. But Mitchell spent most of his time, along with his roommates, tracking down Merrill while adjusting to a new country, a new city, a new culture. They eventually succeeded.
Bringing Annie Back
Edit
Merrill turned out to be a wiccan half demon (the roommates did not know this), in charge of bringing souls to purgatory in order to alter their destiny without their knowledge. It is a mystical practice that eventually gives his kind more power.
When Mitchell came to Merrill, Merrill was ecstatic and more than willing to help, no strings attached. Doing a wiccan incantation, he prepared Mitchell and summoned the door for him.
Mitchell walked into purgatory and he was met with a hallway of doors with a young woman as his guide. When Mitchell opened a door, it took him to a time in his life, especially to the murders he caused, like his first kill. The last door he opened took him to the train, where - with the help of Daisy - he recently massacred every passenger. His young guide was a woman that he killed on that train. Mitchell grappled with his guilt, but his young guide told him his new destiny: He will be killed soon. And it would come in the form of a "werewolf shaped bullet."

Added by The Powers That BeAfter this prophecy, Annie was told by this young guide the she and Mitchell being together was "fate." Then, they were reunited.
- Annie: What happened? Was there - I don't know - some sort of trade off?
- Mitchell: No, no. Nothing. There was nothing. Mind games, that's all.
Merrill pulled Annie and Mitchell out of purgatory, unharmed. They did not end up with Merrill though, they ended up on the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Annie: [looking around, releasing Mitchell from a hug] ...where-where are we? This isn't Bristol...
- Mitchell: [clearing his throat] Uh...yeah. We sort of moved to New York.
- Annie:...New York? Really?
- Mitchell: [nods]
- Annie: Oh...well now I want to go back.
- Mitchell: To Bristol?
- Annie: No, to purgatory. [laughs]
- Mitchell: [laughs as well as Annie embraces Mitchell for another hug] God, Annie. There's so much to tell you.
Getting the Hang of It
Edit
And when Annie came "home" to Nina and George, they did just that. They filled her in on all that was happening, how the vampires "came out of the coffin," how there was a siege in LA. Annie began warming up a bit to their new home, now just glad that she was back with their friends. She started decorating the place, dragging Nina, George and Mitchell out to explore the city, helping Mitchell get a job at the hospital as well and begging Mitchell to attend a 'vampire rights' protest.
Box Tunnel 20 & The Wolf Shaped Bullet
Edit
Later, Mitchell was visited by a zealous 'fan' of his who had been tracking Mitchell down, tracing his killings and strived to be just like him. He started to cause more trouble when he threatened to tell Annie what Mitchell had done to the people on the train. Mitchell eventually killed the fan when he attempted to recreate the murderous
Added by The Powers That BeMitchell and Annie then started to form a relationship but it proved difficult given Mitchell's guilt, bloodlust, and looming werewolf prophecy over his head.
Therefore Mitchell got proactive. Instead of accepted his "Wolf Shaped Bullet" fate - he went back to the wizard Merrill for answers. He found out the destiny was nothing but a fake, and in pent up aggression and rage, he killed the half demon - putting the "werewolf bullet" prophecy behind him.
The McNairs
Edit
Nina found out that she was pregnant. They struggled to find out if there were wolves like them who made it to term, or simply, if there were any pure Elm wolves instead of scratched or bitten. They found so-called father and son (Tom McNair) wolves who travelled all over the world and happened to be in America at the time. This raised their hopes a bit. But just before the full moon (and after being captured by a group of solemus vampires who conducting underground 'dog' fights

Added by The Powers That BeAnnie & The Powers that Be
Edit
The perk Annie noticed right away after her return from purgatory was the fact that she could be seen by anyone if she wanted. She started working at The Watering Hole right away - a rustic bar where quite a few hunters met. Eventually she found out she could be seen for a reason - The Powers that Be granted her visions, given that the beginnings of the apocalype were taking shape. She was also a vital part of Eve's life. Annie helps Angel Investigations with her new found powers.
Herrick Rises
Edit
Herrick was raised from the dead back in Bristol, and ended up insane, suffering from amnesia. With only a couple of months full of 'vampire rights' bliss, Herrick caught the broadcast of Russell Edgington , that horrified the nation. The broadcast triggered something deep within Herrick, and it helped him regain his memory. Fueled by old news clippings of Mitchell's murderous rampage, he went to New York to seek out Mitchell and use the 'vampire rights' movement to recreate a new and improved coven.
A New House of 3
Edit
Back in Bristol, Hal York lost his best friend Leo to old age and Pearl moved on to the other side because she lost her hold on to the world. Beforehand, Leo told him to find someone to keep him grounded and in control. He also mentioned that the baby that would be savior of the world. Hal as more interested in th Box Tunnel 20 cover up, which told him the Old Ones were up to something. He tracked the Box Tunnel 20 info to Mitchell - who was in NYC. He moved there to investigate but found Eve, the baby Leo told him about and the miracle vampire

Added by The Powers That Beprophecy predicts. He helps to protect the baby on many occasions. In return Annie tries to help him keep order and routines to follow in his new home so he control his bloodlust.
Tom McNair decided to visit again because he was in desperate need for a better place to stay. He worked in a food diner and helped take care of Eve. Tom and Hal were at odds but with Annie's help, they ended up good friends and working at the same diner. Hal allowed Tom to be his housemate.
Not soon after did Hal encounter a ghost named Alex. She needed to find out who killed her - and since Hal happened to be the first person she met that could see her, she convinced him to help her. All roads eventually would lead to Nick Cutler - Hal's progeny.
The Old Ones
Edit
With NYC being the supernatural mecca of sorts and the Great Revelation bringing vampires in the limelight, The Old Ones decided to take up residence in the big apple. Even though vampires started coming out of the closet, their arrival was still very low key. They were interested in the revelation of their vampire prophecy - Eve - the savior of the world. 
Added by The Powers That BeThey also have a certain interest in John Mitchell due to his Box Tunnel 20 incident as well as Hal York, as a former Old One.
Outside of these specifics, Mr. Snow, leader of the Old Ones, wants to preserve the vampire race. After the great Revelation he found it in their best interest to form an alliance with The Ugenta Authority , who share the same goal.
