BBC One’s Dracula: Five unanswered questions from tonight’s show
DRACULA struck fear into viewers once again with the second instalment of the three-part drama, which aired on the BBC last night.
We will delve into some unanswered questions to give you a little more insight into the bone-chilling episode.

How did Sister Agatha show up as a policeman at the end?
Sister Agatha proved to be a thorn in Dracula's side midway through the episode, when she exposed him as a vampire.
Dracula chose to preserve Sister Agatha and keep sucking her blood rather than dispose of his victim after sinking his fangs into her once.
However, he also kept the nun alive because he wanted to frame her for the murders that he had committed on board the Demeter ship, which was taking him to England from his native Romania.
Now threatening to be hanged, Sister Agatha spat blood on to Dracula in a desperate attempt to save herself.
She was successful as Dracula's eyes turned red and his face lit up at the sight of blood, his biggest craving.
After Agatha conjured up a plan to destroy the ship before The Count could arrive in England, he still survived and made his way to shore, only to be immediately surrounded by police.
To The Count's astonishment, Sister Agatha appeared in front of him, completely different from the nun she portrayed earlier in the show.
So the question here is simple, how did she get there?

Why did he kill Lord Ruthven and Dorabella?
Dracula does not need a second invitation to kill someone he sets his eyes on and Lord Ruthven and Dorabella were no different.
In episode two we saw Lord Ruthven and The Count appear to get close to one another, as it emerged that Dracula took on a new name of Mr Belawer and became Lord Ruthven's silent partner.
It appeared as though the blood-sucking creature had done this to get close to the young man, but after Lord Ruthven had shot Dr Sharma to protect him, Dracula sucked his blood and killed him anyway.
The same can be said for Dorabella, who The Count met on the ship's top deck.
After sweet-talking her, the young woman suffered the same fate and was killed by the evil Dracula, who this time was caught in the act by Dr Sharma's daughter.

Why did Adisa give his life in Lord Ruthven's honour?
In the early stages of the drama, Lord Ruthven was caught calling his personal assistant Adisa his "man".
Adisa did not respond kindly to it and the Lord replied and said "you know this marriage is a necessary evil".
Later on, Adisa was seen sobbing after hearing that Ruthven had been killed.
He then tried to take matters into his own hands and kill Dracula in memory of the man he once served and loved.
After obtaining a gun, the personal assistant took aim and fired four shots to the chest of Dracula, which had no affect.
Dracula dashed towards him and began sucking Adisa's blood, killing him instantly.
Why would Adisa go to such lengths to protect his master? Was their relationship more than just business?

Why did Dr Sharma's daughter kill herself?
Dr Sharma had the most to lose by being on The Demeter ship, as he was accompanied by his youngest daughter.
She could only communicate in sign language and was asleep one night until she was woken up by blood dripping on her face from the ceiling.
This would potentially foreshadow what was to come as she then witnessed Dracula sucking Dorabella's blood, before the monster told her to keep quiet about it.
As Dr Sharma tried to protect them from Dracula and Lord Ruthven, who had a gun, the young girl grabbed some poison on the table and drank it, collapsing dead on the floor instantly.
Dr Sharma was in agony as he held his daughter in his arms before attacking Lord Ruthven in vain, but the reason why his daughter took her own life remains a mystery.

what's on tv?
Will Dracula's fate be sealed in the third and final episode?
Sister Agatha spent some of the show's second episode trying to put an end to Dracula's reign of terror.
It appears as though that is set to continue after she was spotted at the end of the episode as her and several other policewomen surrounded Dracula.
It seemed as though the nun had disappeared as Dracula threw her to the ground in anger before the Demeter exploded.
After thinking she was out of his life for good, Dracula has come across his foe once again, but in a completely different guise.
Will Agatha get her man, or in this case, a Vampire? Or will Dracula once again find a way to stay alive?
