"A Weekend at Morrigan Manor" is the ninth episode of the fifth season of the American mockumentary comedy horror television series What We Do in the Shadows, set in the franchise of the same name.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.239 million household viewers and gained a 0.07 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
Things take a turn, when Laszlo (Matt Berry) is attacked by an ever-increasing number of fencing opponents and then disappears.
During a game in which naked humans are released in the Manor's grounds to be hunted, Nandor (Kayvan Novak) asks Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) to help.
She wanted to punish the vampires for ignoring her and mistreating her, intending for them to last an eternity in their cages, also revealing that she lied to Nadja about her hex.
During the credits, more footage reveals that the reason everyone heaped compliments on the Guide, was to trick Colin Robinson into dating her and eventually for him move out of the house, but he sees through the ruse.
But across this entire season, The Guide has had one joke, told ad nauseum [sic], to her name: She meekly makes a statement about wanting to be included; the other vamps ignore her; she shoots a sad look at the camera.
That's it, and 'A Weekend At Morrigan Manor' tells the one joke so aggressively, so often, and with so little variation, that it starts to feel genuinely baffling that the show thinks the gag has this much staying power.
"[5] Katie Rife of Vulture gave the episode a 3 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Will this actually be the end of the will they/won't they tension that's propelled this entire series over five seasons?
"[6] Proma Khosla of IndieWire wrote, "As What We Do in the Shadows has so expertly illustrated, being a vampire isn't just turning into a bat or avoiding the sun or hunting humans and drinking their blood; it's all of that combined, plus a heavy dose of narcissism, some werewolf battles, lots of orgies — and it's the friends you make along the way.
"[7] Melody McCune of Telltale TV gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "'A Weekend at Morrigan Manor' is a darkly delightful, whimsical nod to haunted houses, delivering chills and thrills with the show's trademark wacky energy.
Kristen Schaal finally gets her much-needed chance to shine as we learn that The Guide has been playing the crafty long game since the season's beginning.
