FX's The Strain continues with more intense scares as the vampire invasion grows in numbers. The disease detectives have just encountered their first undead creature, but will they survive their second in 'It's Not For Everyone.'

Thomas Eichorst (Richard Sammel), the bloodsucker disguised as a sleazy businessman, has big plans for the Big Apple. He has hired a female hacker to mess with the city's internet and main systems. The vampire conspiracy is about to hit the next level.

Ephraim (Corey Stoll), Nora (Mia Mestro), and Jim (Sean Astin) realize they are in trouble for murdering the captain. They know his body has transformed into a monster but no one will believe them. The trio has to figure out what they actually have in their hands.

While the captain's dead body is lying on a metal table, Eph performs an autopsy right then and there. Nora tries to understand the science behind the vampire and its deadly stinger. Jim is incredibly frightened as he videotapes their discovery.

Jim tells them what happened and how he was led astray. He knew about the arrival of the dead airplane and let the missing coffin leave the airport. Eph is furious with him and leaves, even though Jim states he was doing it for his sick wife. 

In the car, Nora asks if they made the right decision to abandon Jim. Eph has no regret over his decision because he doesn't consider Jim a friend anymore. They head out in the direction of one of the survivors' households.  

Gus (Miguel Gomez) has a lot more on his mind now that his friend is offering him a new gig. They have to steal a car and bring the vehicle to another destination. Though Gus has returned from jail, his mother needs money to pay for the late bills and landlord. 

Gus and his friend end up on another gang's territory. Gus wants more money than what is originally asked. After an intense standoff, Gus and his friend leave with lots more cash but are suspicious of the gang members. 

Eph and Nora are having a difficult time fighting off the killer child. The two are dodging the flying stingers but the vampire is too strong for them. Though they defended themselves against the infected captain, this child is far deadlier. 

Abraham (David Bradley) suddenly arrives to save the day, releasing the sword from his cane. With just one swing, the old man captivates the little one's head. Nora bursts into tears, realizing she cannot continue with this manhunt. 

Eph is left alone as Nora departs, leaving him alone to this violent crusade. He then teams up with Abraham to burn the rest of the dead body. 

Eph has lost two of his closet members in his team in The Strain.  Readers, what did you think of 'It's Not For Everyone?'
