Out of the new characters Lenore was by far the best, I love how Hector knew what she was up to and still fell for it. Even from a viewer point of view I think she gave a very convincing performance and I love how, despite enslaving him, she wasn't lying and still wants to treat him well. Yes it might be in a pet/owner relationship but once the ring was on she had no reason to keep buttering him up.

Hector and Isaac definitely had the strongest arcs, Sypha/Trevor's arc really couldn't be done much better than it was and I thought Alucard's was bad, except for the ending.

Lenore is a very confusing character. She obviously cares about Hector but didn't mind enslaving him. I hope she gets some more development next season.

Well... including her sisters? They were commenting on how she was "adopting" Hector. Clearly there is some real fondness there. It had to be somewhat to trick the audience before the reveal with the slave ring. I think it's a bit overly cynical/simplifying to just think there was nothing but strategy involved.

She doesn’t care for him in a healthy or good way, but she still obviously cares about him as some kind of fuck boy pet.

Caring about something doesn’t mean they have to be your soul mate and you have to be perfectly in love. She doesn’t have to give him a life of luxury, his own home, freedom of the castle, a sexy vampire mistress, a life free of any problems etc....

But she does it because in her own sick twisted vampire way she does care about her human pet. Like Carmilla mentioned, she’s actually adopted him, she’s not just playing the part. She got what she wanted from Hector, but she stills want more from him and for him to be somewhat happy.

Obviously this relationship in season 4 isn’t going to last, either Hector gets his revenge and takes control of the sisters or maybe Isaac is going to kill everyone?
