Helsing breaks the news that Lucy bit the child. Dr. Seward doesn’t believe it at first but is taken back by Helsing`s confidence. then he decides to take Dr. Seward`s to Lucy’s grave to prove his point. They go to visit the victim where the doctor believes that the mark might be made by a rodent or a bat. After visiting the boy and having dinner they go to the churchyard to find Lucy`s tomb. Dr.Seward is uncomfortable while Helsing opens the tomb. He feel s as if it same as undressing her in her sleep. To their surprise, they find the coffin empty. Dr.Seward seems shocked by this but Helsing seems indifferent.

They waited there in the churchyard. After, long time Dr.Seward sees a white figure. He is unable to see exactly what that was. Then Helsing comes with a sleeping child and they decide to leave it in a full view so that a police can find him. Next day, they visit the tomb again and to their surprise find Lucy there. The surprise is that she looked more beautiful than ever. It was as if she was full of life and was never dead. Dr. Seward believes in him and asks him what he is going to do to which Helsing replies cutting her head off, filling her mouth with garlic and driving her stake through her body. But, Helsing decides to make Arthur aware of this first before doing anything.

Arthur decides to go and wait in the churchyard. Helsing leads the way and other followed. Again, they found the coffin empty.Quincey suspects Helsing and ask him whether it was his doing. Everyone waited for the white figure to appear. As the figure gets closer its appearance becomes much clearer –LUCY! It was indeed Lucy Westerna. She looked different than before. She wasn`t the innocent Lucy they knew. She was a different being with Lucy’s face.

Next day, they meet up at the church to finish off Lucy’s case. Arthur also agrees to it though he still seemed nervous. Helsing tells Arthur to hold a stake in his left and hammer in his right over her heart. Arthur drove the stake through her heart while Helsing read his prayers. The un-dead started to crumble up in pain and agony and finally rested. The horrible task was over.
When they looked back at the tomb they saw old Lucy again. Lucy was filled with innocence and purity. Arthur is finally allowed to kiss her. Quincey and Arthur are send outside and Helsing and Dr. Seward cuts off her head and stuff her mouth with garlic. Before parting they all promise to fulfil the horrible task together.

Helsing finds a telegram from Mina informing him about her arrival. He then asks Dr.Seward to allow her to stay her in his home because he would be leaving soon. Dr.Seward is also handed with a typewritten copies of Jonathan’s journal and Mina`s journal at Whitby. Helsing goes and mina arrives at the station.
He hasn’t still read the papers left by Helsing. As he waits for her, he tells that he must find a good opportunity to tell her everything and not frighten her while doing so. When Mina asks him to tell her everything about Lucy’s death he sounds a bit uneasy. It’s as if he doesn’t know from where to start and how to start it. even after Dr. Seward’s hesitation she says that he should read the typewritten copy of her and her husband`s diary. He gives in and lets Mina hear his diary kept in his phonograph. Later, she arrives with her teary eyes and says that she had typed in his words and his words seemed too painful. After dinner she types more of his entry and admits that she wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t read Jonathan’s diary. Jonathan arrives at Dr.Seward`s place. He is quite taken back his looks as he thought that he would meet a good specimen of manhood but Jonathan was a business like gentleman.
They are suspicious about Renfield`s behaviours and the one he calls his `master`. Lord Godalming and Mr. Morris also arrive there. Mina gives them a file kept in chronological order about Lucy’s death which she had typewritten. Finally, lord Godalming vents out his sorrows in front of Mina. He seemed full of pity. They promise to stand by each other in times of need.
