## Summary

Bjorn begins to transform from a man into a massive wolf. Henry, Sammie, and Shemar watch and listen as his bones snap and grow and distort until a massive white wolf is standing over Shemar, keeping him pinned.

Sammie, thinking that Bjorn must be attacking Shemar because he is recording everything, makes a grab for Shemar's phone. Henry tries to draw Bjorn's attention away from Shemar by firing his gun into the air. Bjorn lunges at Henry, knocking the guns out of his hands, and slashes Henry's shoulder with his claws. Now free, Shemar is still frozen in place. Sammie tries to get Bjorn's attention and torches Shemar's phone with a fireball in her hand. The phone is destroyed, but Bjorn's attention isn't drawn to her.

Henry reaches into his pocket and pulls out one of his silver-tipped throwing knives. He stabs his knife into Bjorn's leg. The skin bubbles and almost seems to catch the fur on fire. Bjorn reacts by biting into Henry's neck. Shemar, finally coming to his senses, tries to run from the scene. He's just seen a man turn into a wolf, a girl set her own hand on fire from nothing and torch his phone, and the wolf take a chunk out of a kid's neck. He doesn't know what he's gotten himself into, but has decided it's time to leave. He tries to run, but falls. Bjorn takes the opportunity to jump toward him and pin him to the ground, slashing his claws across the journalist's chest.

Sammie takes a moment to heal Henry, but in the panic her magic goes wrong. There is a blinding flash of light that draws Bjorn's attention and startles him. Giant blue dragon wings manifest from Bjorn's wolfish back and he leaps into the air, flying away.

With Bjorn gone, Sammie heals Henry again and manages to get him into a stable condition this time. Shemar gets up and starts to run away, again. Sammie shouts at him that he's stuck with them now and gives chase. Shemar stops and Sammie says that if he helps her get Henry to safety, she'll tell him what's going on. Shemar decides to stay, only to get more information about what he believes is a government conspiracy.

Sammie walks into the research station for some privacy and calls Stanley. She watches Henry and Shemar through a window while she talks. Sammie tells Stanley that the creature he sent them after is actually Bjorn and that he's a werewolf. Stanley hangs up. Sammie immediately redials and Stanley asks what she means by a werewolf and that they need to bring him in. Sammie says she can't because he has wings and flew off. Stanley says that they need to come back to the Fort immediately after finding out Henry was bit by Bjorn. Sammie tells him about Shemar and they agree to have Miguel mind wipe him once they get to the Fort.

Sammie comes back out, extremely angry and upset at everything that's gone on. She orders Henry and Shemar to follow her, silently, and they all head to the basketball courts to get their respective vehicles and head to the docks. They take a boat to the Fort and arrive at the underground docks. Stanley and Miguel are waiting for them, looking upset. Stanley tells Sammie and Henry to bring Shemar over to them.

Miguel touches Shemar and he drops like a sack of bricks, mind effectively wiped. Stanley dumps Shemar back into the boat. Stanley, Miguel, Sammie, and Henry head to the medical bay to get Henry healed up. Miguel begins to examine the wound on Henry's neck. He asks if Bjorn was bitten by the werewolf when they encountered it. Henry confirms Miguel's suspicion.

Miguel explains that he wasn't even sure if werewolves were real until they'd encountered one. He asks if Sammie can use her third eye to examine Henry's wound and tell him what she sees. She look at it and notices there is a strange green energy hovering above the wound. Miguel wheels over to a book and begins to flip through it. He finds a page and reads for a moment and then says he thinks they caught it early enough to fix it. He tells Sammie they'll need her silver knife and asks Stanley to hold Henry down.

Sammie pulls her knife from her jacket and holds it. Miguel tells her that she needs to plunge the knife into Henry's chest and points to a spot where she'll be able to avoid any vital organs, as close to the heart as possible without touching it. Miguel instructs her to pump as much healing magic as she can through the knife as soon as its inside. Miguel says he'll add healing magic as well, but he's not powerful enough to do it on his own.

Sammie looks up to Henry, silently asking if he's ready. Henry only nods. Sammie rolls the handle of her knife cautiously in her hands, nervous about she's going to do. She tells Henry she's going to stab on the count of 3 and then plunges it into his chest on 2. Sammie and Miguel both focusing on building up as much healing energy as possible inside of them, before releasing it through the silver knife in his chest. Sammie, with her third eye still activated, sees Henry's entire body fill and glow with an immense golden light. The green energy is forced out of and away from Henry's body. Henry passes out.
