To fix the curse, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) has started teaching at a night school in Little Antipaxos, where she tries to introduce students to American culture.
Back at the class, Nandor decides to take the students to a museum to learn more about Staten Island, while also talking more about Al-Quolanudar.
There, Nandor discovers that one of the exhibitions includes his original underwear, downplays his achievements and only recognizes his ability to have sex while flying as early erotic fiction.
In July 2023, FX confirmed that the seventh episode of the season would be titled "Hybrid Creatures", and that it would be written by executive story editors Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh, and directed by co-executive producer Kyle Newacheck.
Club gave the episode a "B+" grade and wrote, "If there's meant to be a uniting theme to all this madness, it's beyond our ken to parse — beyond all involved finding some comfort in a trio of pleasant lies.
But What We Do In The Shadows also isn't a show where that kind of tonal dovetailing is necessary: It's a delivery mechanism for surprising, hilarious weirdness, and on that score, 'Hybrid Creatures' delivers far more often than not.
"[5] Katie Rife of Vulture gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Setting this week's episode at a night school gives 'Hybrid Creatures' the opportunity to indulge in one of What We Do in the Shadows' most fruitful visual gags — putting vampires in pale makeup and detailed period costumes under fluorescent lighting.
"[7] Melody McCune of Telltale TV gave the episode a 3.5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "One thing What We Do in the Shadows will never lose is its penchant for bitingly witty one-liners, quirky character work, and wacky scenarios that get more bizarre as the minutes roll by.
