Jesse manages to extract some blood from Marcel, the vampire in frenzy since he ingested the drug through a victim. Echo is able to get a scent of the chemicals involved, and would be able to sniff out users.
Jesse brings the blood to his lab, analysis will take some time.
They confirm Echo can scent users with a visit to the Rooftop, the club on the Rack where Marcel hunted. They’re able to find a dealer, and Daisy charms him into arranging a meeting with his source, “the Professor”, the following evening.
Jesse compares the blood sample to the drug - it’s designed to excite and agitate human users... and one of its ingredients is a trace of Kindred vitae.
Meeting the Professor at one of the coffee shops in Grand Central Station the following evening, they talk their way into seeing the factory.
Daisy and Silas meet the Professor’s bodyguard at a long-closed video store. Echo, Emmet and Jesse observe outside, close enough for a signal.
Colette calls Silas’s phone as they approach to warn Daisy that this is where she meets Dane, and that they have to help “the woman in the chair”.
The Professor leads them in, and down to a basement.
Inside, strapped to something like a dentist’s chair, is what looks like a young woman totally drained of blood - but still moving.
“You wanted to know our secret ingredient.” The Professor locks them in.
