Mainly because Beth has little to do in this story, and that lack leaves the action rudderless. Mick should enlist Beth's help in his investigation, instead of keeping her at a distance. He mentions to Josef that the cause of Coraline's return may be because "she can't stand to see me happy (about Beth)." So, shouldn't he have realized that Beth may be a potential target of a wily, dangerous -- and possibly resurrected -- vampire? The "jealous Beth" perspective is set up too soon. It's a little too early in the series -- and in their friendship -- for the issue to come up, especially in dialog with each other as do in this episode.
Otherwise, the story was interesting and it moved along quite a bit of back-story. I'm looking forward to see how it plays out in a follow-up episode.
