## Biography

### Trapped in the wildfire

Garrett is driving down the road during the early morning when he discovers a raging wildfire in the mountains. He goes to investigate, at which point, he gets trapped. In case he doesn't make it out, he pulls out his recorder to leave a final massage for Luna and Harlan. He tells them that he loves them. He specifically tells Luna that she will find her pack and tells Garrett to remember when things were good between them, such as all the books they read together and how he took a ten-year-old Harlan to every horror movie he's ever seen. Even though Harlan may not see him as his real father, he loves him nonetheless. Garrett then talks himself back up and continues to search for a way out.

Garrett is trapped within a wall of fire. Tired, dehydrated, and his vision blurred, he pushes himself to keep moving forward, but he's growing weaker with every passing moment and collapses to the ground. Whilst laying there, he recalls the evening he found Harlan and Luna. They were hidden in the canyon, right at the fire line. They were two black cubs when he recovered them, but then they returned to their human form, much to his disbelief. It's this memory and his unwavering love for his children that allows Garrett to keep moving. Eventually, he becomes too weak to move. As a final resort, he lights his flare and lays face up, hoping search and rescue will find him. Delirious from extensive smoke inhalation, he hears snarling and a beast coming towards him before being found by Prisha and the search and rescue crew.

Garrett picks Harlan and Luna up at the station after learning they were brought in for questioning. There, he learns that Everett and Blake are also werewolves. Garrett learns that they were bitten on the highway by the same beast that attacked his truck. He also discovers that the twins have shared their abilities and that their eyes have glowed upon first meeting Everett and Blake, leading Garrett to fear that they may be turning into actual werewolves. However, before he can ask any further questions, he leaves to assist Phoebe, whose tires have been slashed. Not long after leaving, he gets word from Luna that Officer Miller is at the house, harassing Harlan. Moments later, Harlan reveals that the werewolf is at the house and that it took Miller. Too far away to do anything himself, he instructs the twins to get the rifle from the barn, where they also find silver bullets, which Garrett confesses he crafted to kill them.

### Joining the task force

While silver bullets don't make for the best ammunition due to the dense metal, Garrett confesses to crafting them to kill the twins initially, however, he eventually found out the truth — that they're every bit as human as him. He kept the bullets though for their real father. The next day, he and Prisha discuss their next move. Garrett suspects the mystery caller who's been calling Everett and Blake may be the arsonist and that he's looking for the twin's real father. Hoping to get a better insight on the investigation, Garrett offers to help Ramsey and reveals that he knows she's trying to find a second incendiary device, given that there was almost certainly a second origin point. Once Garrett returns home, he and Luna recount the night from years ago when she turned on a full moon and killed her horse, and how every decision he's made since then has been to keep something like that from happening again.

Garrett, Investigator Ramsey, and Officer Jang arrive at Gray Lakes High School, specifically the robotics class, where Ramsey reveals that she knew the arsonist was a student because the incendiary device was made with parts from the 3D printer at the school. The three of them then make their way to the construction site, where Ramsey questions Garrett about how he found Harlan and Luna. She then shows Garrett satellite photos taken one hour after the fires were started, with two clear origin points. Garrett concludes that not only were both fires started at the same time, but that the arsonist set both fires from the construction site using drones they built in robotic classes at the school.

Garrett and Ramsey arrive at Tia Patterson's house in search of Cyrus. However, Garrett instead has another close encounter with the werewolf, who nearly attacks him in the backyard, but he opens fire and wings the werewolf in the shoulder, sending it running in the opposite direction. However, in this encounter, Garrett not only discovers that silver does in fact hurt werewolves, but that the killer isn't Luna and Harlan's biological father, it's their brother, which he shares with the pack after turning Cyrus over to Ramsey.

After learning of Phoebe's murder, Garrett agrees to help Ramsey with her investigation, as she suspects that it's connected to the fires. The two of them head back to the construction site, where they believe the arsonist set the fires from. There, Garrett and Ramsey find the missing people that the werewolf has been killing, a total of 18 victims. Garrett advises Ramsey against calling this in. She questions what he's not telling her, to which Garrett replies that his kids can't get caught up in something this big and fears what would come out about them. He asks Ramsey to trust him and says will help her find the person responsible. She then confronts him about the silver bullets and asks him if it was a person who did this. Garrett replies, "Yes and no."

### The truth about Kristin

Garrett brings Luna and Harlan down to the station for questioning. However, he abruptly sends them home after learning that the bodies were found at the construction site. With the FBI surely coming to take over the case, Ramsey urges Garrett to tell her the truth about everything he knows. Garrett then gets word from the kids that they are not only responsible for the mess in the medical freezer but that Baron is inured and unconscious at Everett's house. Once there, Garrett gets the boy dressed and takes him to the ER. However, when he disappears, Garrett enlists in Ramsey's help, and they discover he was taken by Malcolm as a means to lure Ramsey to Station 45, where he intends to kill her. There, Ramsey reveals that she is not only a werewolf, but the twins' mother as well. She proposes that Garrett become a werewolf too and that they raise the kids together.
