Agatha All Along brings up something truly fascinating! It really is a supernatural show that keeps everyone watching it!

We meet one of those characters, Lilia Calderu played by Patti LuPone. There is a very important point! When this happens we learn a little more about the way vampires function.

While many might be aware of what it takes to defeat these characters it turns out, Lilia Calderu has been bitten in the past. She is no Vampire though. She survived!

This seems like there is a good reason and Lilia Calderu's character makes us think!

It's pretty well known how powerful vampires are in this universe! But now they have a whole new weakness as well. It is apparent that "Lilia Calderu" uses magic to be the exception to the rule. Even though many will try to turn into these creatures, they find that it’s pretty impossible.
