Cleo is the first to come across Scott when they come back to the village. Scott doesn't even recognize them at first because of their whole outfit and the white hair and the fact that they aren't a zombie.
He also understood that the Martyn and Pearl here aren't his Martyn and Pearl and is understandably very wary of Cleo even when he does recognize them.
Cleo goes to tell the castle vampires about this (because it would be pretty obvious if they don't) and of course, they immediately want to break Scott out and re-turn him.
Scott, meanwhile, has been put back into the prison cell (he went semi-willingly) and is trying to charm the doctor into giving him information (Legs is getting awful dejavu)
The town beacon then turns neutral (by Pyro and Apo), and everyone clambers out to deal with it. Scott makes a move to let himself out of prison since he's alone now and is stopped by Owen and Drift, who've opened the door to let him out.
Owen grabs him and and they all make their escape back to the castle, where Shelby and Avid are, and the vampires and Scott all get a good look at each other.
Scott thinks they're a bunch of weirdos (but the white hair aesthetic they all have going on is pretty cool).
Owen immediately begins talking about how the “humans will pay for this” and Scott (very confused) is just nodding along.
He then offers to turn Scott back as Shelby drinks blood. By now, he's clocked that they're probably vampires and he is very far from home.
Owen's offer to turn Scott back then devolves into every single one of his fledglings (Pyro, Apo, Drift) arguing about who gets to turn him back because they definitely “deserve it more” (my very not-biased at all answer is Apo btw)
Avid tries to weigh in that maybe he should get the chance too and every single one of Scott's fledglings tell him to stay out of it.
Scott goes “maybe not?” and immediately tries to book it. He gets to the bridge but is caught fairly quickly on account of the fact that he's running from vampires who can leap and turn into bats and he is very tired.
And now Owen's clocked that maybe something isn't right...
