With the cemetery becoming overrun with Daemites, John Sigmon (Eric Szmanda) tells Tremaine (Stephen McHattie), Mynce (Kelly Hu) and Rayne (Holland Roden) to hurry up and get out of there and he'll hold them off. Tremaine tells Sigmon its suicide, but Sigmon tells them that Rayne must be protected so that she can defeat her father once and for all. The rest of the Brimstone Society makes their way away from the cemetery when they hear a large explosion. Tremaine tells them to keep moving and that Sigmon was a good soldier who died an honorable death. Rayne is upset because she feels that it is her fault all these people are dead. Mynce agrees with her. This infuriates Rayne, who shows her vampire teeth for the first time, and she attacks Mynce, throwing her against a tree. Tremaine breaks up the fight and tells them that they have to keep moving before more daemites are summoned.
Kagan (Manu Bennett) arrives in Morton to meet his children Ephemera (Lydia Hearst), Ferril (Meghan Ory) and Xerx (Daniel Cudmore). They show him the deaths they have caused in the town, but Kagan is not impressed with his children. He tells them if he and Wolfe are going to revive the great demon Beliar, more souls will need to be captured. He sends Ferril and Xerx out to destroy other nearby towns and bring back their bodies so that they can be turned in Mutates, mutated zombie-like creatures, to do their bidding and fortify their strong hold on Morton. Ephemera asks why Morton is so important, and Kagan tells her that Morton is key. Morton is where Beliar must be resurrected.
The Brimstone Society arrives in a small town in the swamps of Louisiana. They decide to find a safe place to rest. They find an old boat yard and set up in one of the boats to rest in shifts. Suddenly they are attacked by a giant beast called the Queen of the Underworld. The monster is being controlled by a voodoo priestess named Marassa (Gina Torres). Mynce and Rayne leave the boat and begin battling against the beast. The beast eats Mynce. Rayne begins stabbing the beast. She then sees a glowing rib and pulls it out of the Queen. Suddenly the beast stabs Rayne and drives the rib inside of her. Rayne falls down on the ground in pain. Jorge Wolfe (Oscar Jaenada) suddenly appears and rips the rib out of Rayne and leaves her for dead.
Before long, Morton is overrun with demonic Mutates. Epehemera and Kagan watch as the Mutates slowly march into town, controlled by Ferril. Kagan tells his children that he is pleased with the army they are building. Xerx feels left out without much to do, but Kagan tells him that his skills in battle will be needed before long. Ephemera asks what kind of battle they are in for, and Kagan tells them that they will go to better against their sister Rayne. Xerx asks who else they will fight. Kagan tells him that Rayne is the only one with the ability to stop them. Ferill scoffs at the thought of their dhampir sister stopping them.
Rayne dreams of Kagan telling her that the rib she was stabbed with was the rib of Beliar. Rayne wakes up and discovers that it is Tremaine is the one telling her this information. He tells her that she needs to locate the monster inside of herself and use it to fight her family. She used it against Mynce so it's in her somewhere, she just has to find out how to control it and use it to her advantage.

I feel like Brimstone lacks a sense of urgency in the plot that would make things go faster. I expected things to move a bit faster after a slow pilot, but it seems the show is stuck on cruise control
Gory, ultra-violent and stylish, Brimstone is everything you ask from a late night show. It knows what it's supposed to be and it executes it well
"It's a shame the creators made Brimstone feel like a B-series. It is a far cry of the series I imagined it would be with the engaging backstory and interesting world. I just feel like it could have been better with a little more panache
