Synopsis for "Suck Off and Die!"
Eduardo Del Toro, Sr., vampire and patriarch of the Del Toro crime family is gunned down inside 1810 of a Miami office building. The impact of the bullets propels him through the window where he plummets to the street below, impaling himself on an outdoor eatery's table umbrella. His last thoughts are, "...silver bullets my ass."
Meanwhile, Eduardo's daughter Risa Del Toro (also a vampire) is engaging in public sex at a night club called Succubus. She receives a message on her cell phone informing her of her father's untimely demise.
At the Miami Dade police substation, Eduardo's oldest son, Eduardo Del Toro, Jr. meets with Vampire Crime Unit detective Michael Fortine about getting his son, Daniel, out of jail. Fortine despises vampires, but he acknowledges the Del Toro family's power and influence. Ultimately, he has little choice but to let Danny Del Toro go. Eddie admonishes his son for the brash acts that brought him to this place.
At St. John's Cathedral, Leto Del Toro works as the country's first fully ordanied vampire priest. He meets with a girl named Wendy who confesses to him about her lesbian lifestyle. Del Toro's superior, Monsignor Declan Kelly arrives to tell Leto of his father's demise.
Some time later, Eduardo Sr.'s nephew, Victor Sanchez and Eddie Del Toro begin investigating the older vampire's death. Victor interrogates a young woman, ultimately killing her while Eddie watches. Neither of them can believe that any person, human or vampire, could possibly get the drop of Eduardo Del Toro.
Before long, a reception service is held at the Del Toro estate, El Dorado. The three Del Toro siblings argue with one another, and later, both Leto and Danny catch Arabella Del Toro (Eduardo's wife) having sex with one another.
After an exchange of words, Leto retires to his father's study where he meets with Zephraim Klein, Eduardo's consigliere. Zephraim tells Leto that he stands to inherit the entirety of his father's estate. Leto responds with, "Christ on a ****ing bike!"

Synopsis for "Watching the Detectives"
The Vampire Crime Unit discover the body of a woman named Amadeus Tyne at a trendy vampire club called Heavy Flo. Risa Del Toro is present, but disappears before the cops arrive. Hector Cruces and Bonita Lou Yama interogate a witness, but come up with few results.
Later, lead detective Michael Fortine and his young partner Paco Macavoy go to El Dorado to question Risa Del Toro. Risa's lover Carrie Stein provides an alibi for Risa's whereabouts the previous evening, citing that the two spent the entire evening together.
Cruces and Bonita go to another club called Hozzier Daddy - a club owned by Risa Del Toro. Bonita attempts to question the bartender, but he decides to run from the scene. Bonita gives chase and fells the suspect by shooting him in the buttocks.
Back at the precicnt, Macavoy receives a greeting card from Risa Del Toro, which contains an erotic message.
Fortine later meets with Carrie Stein privately. Stein is tired of Risa's devil-may-care attitude and professes that she owed no loyalty to her. She tells Fortine that Risa lied about her whereabouts the evening prior.
Still later, Bonita and Hector go to the morgue where they identify the victim from Heavy Flo. The woman is Amadeus Tyne Leopold, the daughter of a judge that Risa has in her pocket.
