Eternally Yours is raising a mystery in its latest episode, “The Mistake,” as we unveil a first look at the introduction of Jeff Hiller‘s vampire, Aldrict.
In the episode, the coven holds an initiation party for its newest vampire, Max (Jaren Lewison), and among the invitees are prominent members of the vampire community, including Aldrict. As the episode’s logline teases, he’s a troublemaker who has a history with Liz (Allegra Edwards), but in the first look clip above, she clearly doesn’t want to bring attention to that past.
As seen in the sneak peek, Liz and her husband Charles (Ed Weeks) fill a punch bowl with some blood bags provided by their source, Steve (Steve Berg). But Liz isn’t happy with how little they have to offer their guests. “Charles, you only ordered five pints of Steve. That’s not enough!”
“What would you have me do? It seemed it was all he could safely give,” Charles argues.

“You don’t give a fig about Steve. You’re just a cheapskate,” Liz counters.
Yet, their bickering is quickly cut off by the arrival of Drusilla (Cat Lemieux) and Vlad (Julian Richings), who are invited guests for the celebration. “I hope you don’t mind, but we brought our cousin Aldrict, who’s visiting from out of town,” Drusilla tells the couple after thanking them for the invitation.
As Drusilla introduces Aldrict to the couple, he looks at Liz and says, “Have we met?” The look of apparent dread crosses Liz’s face as she replies, “No, no, I don’t think so.”
Liz’s urgent insistence on that stance is met with a clipped “hmm” from Aldrict. When Max steps in to introduce himself to the attendees, he momentarily frees Liz from the quizzical gaze of Aldrict, but the distraction only goes so far as he continues to rattle off potential ways and places they could have met over the years that they’ve been undead.
What could have happened that was so bad that Liz doesn’t want to admit he knows Aldrict? Fans will have to find out by tuning into the latest episode of Eternally Yours.
