## Summary

Sammie is saved by the local security guard, who hits whoever had pinned Sammie with the butt of his gun. The stalker runs off and the security guard, Billy, makes sure Sammie is okay. Sammie tries to brush it off and goes back to her apartment. Once back in her room, she makes sure her window is closed and locked. She then sits on her bed and focuses on her broken wrist. She touches the injured wrist focuses on focuses on the magic within her. Her wrist begins to glow with a golden light and her wrist fixes itself. After the encounter though, Sammie is unable to sleep for the rest of the night.

In the morning, Bjorn stops and gets the key to the brewery from Holland. The trio meet at the brewery, Bjorn and Sammie both bringing a generous haul of beer. Henry notices that Sammie is a bit off, but Sammie denies it. Once inside, Bjorn points out some areas where they can hide - notably a steel catwalk that goes above the vats. He uses a forklift to move the specific vat they want to use to set their trap under the catwalk so they can watch from above. While Bjorn gets the inside of the building ready, Sammie gets the beer they brought and starts to make a trail from the outside into the inside of the facility to try and attract the creatures into their trap.

Bjorn recommends that they spread out across the brewery. Bjorn volunteers to be up on the catwalk with a large net, have Henry nearby with another large net, and have Sammie somewhere that she can signal when there are enough creatures in the vat to execute their plans with a small net that she can use to capture any that escape the big nets.

A few hours later, Sammie begins to see the creatures come into the brewery. At first it's just one creature, but once it tastes the booze it seems to summon the others inside. The creatures begin to crawl up the vat and dive into the whiskey. Once most of them are in the vat, Sammie shouts for Bjorn and Henry to throw their large nets. Bjorn captures 12 of the 19 creatures inside the vat. Sammie runs down from the catwalk and captures another 5. Henry captures 4 of the remaining creatures in the vat. There are 8 of the tiny creatures left.

Sammie runs to try and close the door before the remainder can escape, she trips over herself and doesn't make it in time before 3 can escape, leaving 5 remaining inside. Sammie tells Bjorn and Henry the 5 inside are by the front door trying to get out. Bjorn tells her to go outside to look for the 3 that escaped since she's the only one that can see them. Sammie runs out a side door. Bjorn uses his ice wall spell inside to spear the creatures by the door, eliminating the 5 trying to escape.

Outside, Sammie is looking around for the 3 remaining chaos creatures. She finally spots them, huddled together looking like they're trying to decide what to do. Sammie gives chase, but they split up. She chooses one to follow and manages to tackle it. She's so focused on the creature she doesn't notice something, or rather someone, come up behind her. She hears and feels a loud crack on the back of her head before she loses consciousness.

Inside, Bjorn takes care of killing off the creatures that have been captured in the net. Henry runs outside to try and find Sammie and help her with the remaining creatures that escaped. Henry sees the little tracks left behind by the tiny tricksters and soon finds Sammie's prints. He follows it as far as he can and then sees Sammie's footprints abruptly end. He can't follow the trail from there, so he goes back to get Bjorn.

Bjorn has just finished killing off the remaining creatures inside the brewery. Henry tells him he thinks something happened to Sammie because she seems to have disappeared. They walk through the woods trying to find Sammie or any of the remaining creatures. They realize they are heading toward Big Gator Swamp. They hear a creature catching its breath by a tree and are able to tackle and eliminate it. They continue to try and look for Sammie, but lose her trail. Bjorn decides to try and call Sammie's phone to see if they can hear anything. Soon, her ringtone plays in the distance. They run toward it.

Sammie comes to, her head pounding. She realizes she's being carried over someone's shoulder who is running through the woods. She hears her phone go off and then a crunch before her phone stops ringing. She soon realizes she's also tied up. Sammie yells at him to put her down.

Bjorn and Henry catch up to the person who has Sammie. They see a large man in a black tank top and jeans. Bjorn attempts to tackle him from behind, but the man notices and is able to dodge. He turns to look at them and smiles. Henry notices that he has large, serrated teeth. The man throws Sammie away from them and turns to face Bjorn and Henry. Henry pulls his gun and threatens the man, but he isn't fazed.

Bjorn pulls out his shotgun and blasts the man, but he doesn't seem to be effected. He turns and tackles Bjorn, suddenly transforming into a massive wolf. He slashes Bjorn with his claws as his form changes. Henry, realizing this must be a werewolf, starts to change out the ammo in his gun to the silver bullets he had made for the wendigo that he didn't use. Sammie attempts to free herself, wiggling herself so that she can pull her hands in front of her. She tries to pull her silver knife out of her jacket pocket, but drops it.

Bjorn attempts to shoot the werewolf again with his shotgun. It seems disoriented, but still not hurt too badly. Henry has managed to load the silver bullets into his gun. He gets a shot off with a silver bullet, hitting it in the chest. This doesn't seem to stop the werewolf though and he slashes Henry across the stomach with his claws. While the werewolf is distracted, Bjorn runs over to Sammie. He picks up her knife and uses it to cut the zip ties around her wrists.

Bjorn attacks the werewolf again, slashing it with his claws. The werewolf bites Bjorn on the shoulder and uses it's strength to toss Bjorn into a tree. Sammie ducks under the flying Bjorn and goes in to stab the wolf with her silver knife. She stabs it in the neck. The werewolf pounces onto Sammie and gives her one last slash before it slowly transforms back from a wolf into a man. He pushes himself off of Sammie, looking incredibly injured now.

Henry attempts to sneak up on the newly transformed man, but the man hears him coming. He turns his back to Sammie to slash at Henry's throat. Sammie takes the opportunity to stab the man in the back with her silver knife. The man falls to the ground, dead. Sammie drops to her knees and throws up. Bjorn rushes to Henry to stop his throat from bleeding.

Sammie sees one of the last remaining creatures sneaking through the woods. She tries to make a grab for it, but misses. It runs off into the woods. Bjorn tells her its okay and that they got most of them, then takes some time to fix her up. Henry suggests that they search the man's body because they don't know why he tried to take Sammie. Bjorn asks Sammie if she knows why this guy was carrying her away and Sammie says she's not sure, but then tells them about the incident last night where he tried to snatch her from her apartment. Bjorn isn't sure why a werewolf would be after her and that they don't normally go after witch children.

They search the man's body, but don't find any kind of clues. Bjorn tells them to clear out while he calls H.U.N.T.E.R. to clean up the body of the werewolf. On their way back, Henry and Sammie notice the remains of the creature Sammie had tried to catch before Winston knocked her out, apparently stomped on by Winston. This means the creature Sammie saw after the fight with the werewolf is the lone survivor of the incident at the brewery and is now free in the woods.

Several hours later after H.U.N.T.E.R. cleans up the body of the werewolf, two women hike into the clearing where the fight occurred. They seem to be looking for something. The older of the two leans down as her eyes flash green and touches the ground. She tells the younger one, who she calls Molly, that they have killed "their Winston." Molly tells the older woman, named Jadis, that they'll make them pay for this and Jadis agrees.
