Writing this from 2023 and catching up to the current S5. This is a standout episode, where both the A and B plots are good. The vampires trying to deal with technology manages to avoid the more obvious comedy as they attempt to interpret things from their weirdly blinkered perspective.
Guillermo's plotline is even better. I love it when they try to balance his wish to be a vampire vs his fate to be a slayer. He does the badass slayer thing so well, it's frustrating how little we get to see it. And it turns out that much later on, this story has important surprising consequences. This show is so good at bringing back an old plotline in a way you could never guess.
However (and this is not a spoiler because it's not followed up on, at least not that I've seen) I got the strange impression that Craig Robinson's character was a vampire who was cleverly eliminating the competition by starting a vampire-slaying group. What other explanation could there be for them attacking a vampire house at night? Hmm. Maybe another plotline that will reappear when we least expect it? Either way, Robinson is worth bringing back for another episode or two.
