Season 1, Episode 4: Vlad Gets Some Alone Time in the House


Seeing that Grenadine is in a foul mood, Meryl offers to take her for a walk outside so that nature might soothe her ruffled spirit...



Alas, Grenadine's dark mood persists, even in the seat of nature. She refuses to speak to Meryl despite her cousin's gentle coaxing. 



Meanwhile, Gene has gone shopping for records and Marie is out running errands, leaving Vlad alone in the house. A piece of art in the foyer catches his eye... He stops to examine it more closely.  



Vlad is suddenly inspired to unpack his case...



 He decides to take his business into the living room where it's more comfortable. 



Here, he can spread out... 



When Vlad is finished in the living room, he goes upstairs to have a look around. 



He climbs the stairs his sister has warned him not to fall down, and he is victorious, not stumbling even once. 



Vlad gives in to his strong urge to investigate. He lets himself into Meryl's room first. 


 A strange feeling comes over him as he gazes into Meryl's looking glass...



Next, he makes a visit to the bathroom. 



Vlad takes a peek into Marie's room as well...



But there isn't much to it. It appears Marie doesn't have a bed, but sleeps on a love-seat in the computer room, a room with no door... Vlad pities her before moving on with his investigation.



Vlad has saved Gene's room for last. He stands at her dresser and wonders if these men are Gene's many lovers...



Suddenly overwhelmed, Vlad throws himself down onto Gene's bed and lingers there in her blankets...



Slowly, he begins to drift off to sleep, the heaviness of his wearied thoughts finally melting away. It's not easy being Vlad. 



Somewhere across town, Meryl decides to turn back. Grenadine wants to get back home and check on Vlad...

Season 1, Episode 3: Vlad Tries to Get Close to Gene

While Gene is busy "working from home" at the dining room table, little does she know Vlad is studying her from afar... 


Most unexpectedly, there's something about Gene that Vlad finds fascinating... Slowly, he gains the courage to creep a bit closer. 


As he approaches, Gene sends a call on her cell phone to voicemail... She takes a moment to drink in his musk. Then Vlad says, rather boldly, "Ahem... Hello, Gene."

What Vlad doesn't realize is that he isn't alone... Grenadine is watching, and she isn't pleased with what she sees. 



Grenadine has told Vlad in no uncertain terms to stay far away from Gene, and yet here he is, sputtering to her like a fool... 



So angered by her brother's blatant disobedience, Grenadine sees lights flashing behind her eyes. This hasn't happened to her since she was a girl in Belarus, and it doesn't bode well...

Season 1, Episode 2: Vlad Crosses the Line

Gene invites Vlad to sit with her on the couch by the hi-def flat screen plasma TV. Grenadine takes a seat on the other side of them with a watchful eye. In the spirit of sharing, Gene passes the bong over to Vlad. She was hoping they could get "cozy" together...  


But this doesn't fly with Grenadine... She springs from the couch and begins berating Vlad for accepting Gene's "instrument of evil"! She calls him a weakling and an idiot... 


After enduring a few long moments of Grenadine's verbal abuse, Vlad stands up to his sister and says, "Lighten up, will you?"


 Bad move. She attacks him. 


Gene watches helplessly as Grenadine roughly escorts Vlad out of the room while screaming at him in their native tongue. How will she ever get close to him now?
