WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
We're back! A lot happened at the end of last season, but most importantly Wynonna gave up the child she had by Doc, and she's handling her post-partum depression in an extremely Earpian way.

Also, the Revenants are back, and they're hitting Wynonna at her most vulnerable point.
389855
Well, we're not saying having vampires in your town is necessarily a bad thing. But often it can lead to shortened parties. All these bodies seemingly died simultaneously, and then were arranged in this strange formation. Hawt's intel has it that these massacres have a history: they're the calling card of the Cult of Bulshar.
389857
While Nicole has a panic attack in the bathroom, Waverly is glamorized by Petra the vampire — as is Nicole. They fall head over heels into fangs over her.
389858
And while Doc is tending his bar, an eerie fog rolls in, the other patrons are taken out, and he himself is swept up by a well-placed rope, and whisked away. Free drinks... but there's no one to sling them.
389859
And Jamie is glamorized by another vampire.
389860
Wynonna needs help to find the culter(s) who may have slaughtered all these people. Wynonna drops in on her mother — who's now hearing voices — at the penitentiary, looking for some answers. She doesn't get any.
389861
Wynonna voices her concerns for her mother's health — and by voicing, we mean demanding — and Dolls shows up to provide some backup. He'd been following her while she made these visits to her mom, and now he wants to help her get to the bottom of the mistreatment Wynonna's mother has been subjected to.
389863
Meanwhile, Doc is being tested by one of Petra's vamps. They want to turn Doc, make him a valuable asset to the team. But first they've got to prove it's really him. When he doesn't cooperate and he recognizes the veiled woman, he gets knocked out.
389864
Wynonna returns home, finds a vampire hiding out in the shed, and alerts the other members of her squad. Of course, they've all been glamored, and don't take kindly to her alarm, and Nicole knocks her out.
389865
The vampires throw a party as they prepare for the return of the head vampire honcho. Also, they've invited all their glamored acolytes to enjoy their last night on earth. Everyone's toasting with a glass of blood in their hands, except... well, Wynonna...
389866
She's trapped in a coffin, prepared as an offering. Dolls happens to find her in the cellar and set her free. They're the only two not under the vampire spell, and hence the only two who can reverse it. Dolls has a book on black magic, a tutorial on the counterspell. It involves lots of wooden stakes.
389867
The two crash the party, and while Wynonna distracts the vampires, Dolls drives projectile stakes through their hearts. Petra's the first to go. From then on out, the spell is lifted, and it's a bloodless bath — the vampires turning into straight dust.
389868
Living up to his legend, Doc uses brute force to free himself from the stripper pole he was handcuffed to, and free himself.
389869
Doc rejoins his crew, and together they vanquish the remainder of the vampires. All except the leader, whom Wynonna tasks with conveying a message to Bulshar: she's coming for him.
389870
Of course, Bulshar is not pleased that one of his disciples has failed him (in not bringing the Earp heir to his feet). So he makes him a human carrier pigeon.
389871
The next day, Nicole returns to the scene of the massacre and has a startling realization: she thinks she was a survivor of the Cult of Bulshar. That's BIG!
389872
And while Wynonna takes Waverly on a drive to tell her about their mother, the car skids off the road, flips over, and rolls down a slope. Waverly is shortly thereafter dragged from the car by an unseen figure, who, we're just going to guess, is not a paramedic.
