Sir Malcolm Murray, on the other hand, went to Africa to return the body of Sembene, who got killed by Ethan when they were locked in the stairway at the witch’s castle and Ethan transformed into a werewolf.
Victor Frankenstein, on the other hand, turned to drugs, after he was spurned by Lily, played by Billie Piper, for his pronounced love. Lily, who was formerly known as Brona Croft before her resurrected self, decided to stay with Dorian Gray, played by Reeve Carney, as they hatch a plan to rule over mankind as the new breed of immortals.
John Clare, on the other hand, decided to head off elsewhere and was last seen heading to icy waters onboard a fishing boat. Evidently, he discovered that he was not the Frankenstein monster that he was being hyped to be as that title appears to belong to Lily.
