However, in the bushes, Cory hears a mysterious noise and gets "bitten" by the unidentified figure. The next morning, he feels that he had been growing hair in weird places, and consoles his doubts in Eric, who toys with his mind and tells him that he's turning into a werewolf. Cory decides to skip Turner's class to go to a fortune teller named Madame Ouspenskaya. She tells him various events will occur to show his transition from man to werewolf. And after these events come true, she tells him the final prophecy will occur when he kills the only woman who cares about him— Topanga. On the night of the party, Topanga goes to Cory's room to see if he's ready, but is shooed away. However, she refuses to believe his so-called transition, so she tells Cory that there is no curse and that she cares about him. Then, Cory and Topanga reveal their feelings for each other and lock lips.
