During the summer, Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) have found many familiars, all of which die under unfortunate circumstances.
While Guillermo scolds him outside for his reckless behavior, Topher accidentally touches the koi pond, which was electrocuted due to a heater, dying immediately.
Refusing to abandon their familiar, Nadja and Laszlo bring the corpse with Wallace (Benedict Wong), a necromancer.
"[7] Tony Sokol of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4.5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "'Resurrection' is a great way to bring the vampires back for What We Do in the Shadows season 2.
It is how all vampires are born, and subtly nudges the mythology of the undead past the dreaded garlic of TV cancellations.
"[8] Greg Wheeler of The Review Geek gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "With some hilarious scenes involving the necromancer and a lot of well written jokes peppered throughout, What We Do In The Shadows picks up where it left off last season and continues to deliver the same style of humour alongside its imaginative stories.
With a new arc for Guillermo to follow and lots of potential for the season ahead, Shadows bows out it first episode on a high.
