The two apologized and forgave each other. Just as the two were beginning to build back up their relationship again, Charlie started to watch something on the news about a woman that he saw yesterday was murdered while Amy was talking to him. Amy who has had enough of being ignored by her own boyfriend, she stole a guy's burger and threw it in Charlie's face breaking up with him, while Ed was laughing at him.

Jerry first saw Amy when Charley, Evil, Peter and her went to Jerry's house. When Jerry first saw Amy, he was stunned by how much she looked like his lost love. He stared down at her, kissed her hand and said "charmed" which caused Amy to blush. Later that night after hunting down Ed and turning him into a vampire, Jerry went to chase after Charlie and Amy. Jerry caught up to them and they tried to run away but Jerry kept on trapping them. The two had no choice but to go into a dance club. While Charlie called the police, Jerry found them but only wanted Amy. He seduced her by sexually dancing with her. However, Charlie demanded Jerry to let her go which he refused and kissed Amy.

After his servant Billy Cole is killed, Jerry awakens Amy who has completed her transformation and demands her to help kill them by saying to her "show me how much you love me Amy, kill them...both".
