Elena makes
a dash to her car to search for Clay. Nick and Jeremy arrive before she can
take off. She tells them that Olsen stabbed Philip and they took Clay. They
tell her that they attacked Logan too, Logan and Rachel are missing. Elena
wants to split up and search, Jeremy warns that the mutts are no fools, that
they won’t kill Clay until they have Elena. She’s not willing to risk Clay’s
life on that assumption. Jeremy tells her that Nick will travel with her back
to Stone Haven where they’ll regroup to prepare for the mutts.
Daniel
Santos has Clay strung up, as he shocks him with a pair of jumper cables. He
has to work hard to get his to make any noise. He thinks its about getting
respect, but Olsen thinks its about revenge, and he wouldn’t be far off. Santos
makes a call to Elena with a proposition. He wants her to meet him alone at the
Bear Valley diner. He shocks Clay until he screams to get his point across.
Clay still manages to stare him down in between shocks.
Marsden and
LeBlanc meet up with Santos. LeBlanc delivers more sedatives. Marsden worries
about what he plans to do with Clay, while Santos sends LeBlanc to watch Olsen.
Marsden tells Santos about LeBlanc’s rogue actions which left Logan alive.
Santos apprises him of his less than stellar results as well. Olsen did not
kill Philip, so he can ID him to the police, they did not get Elena as planned
to use against Jeremy, so he took Clay instead. Things are not exactly going as
Marsden was told. They were supposed to cull the herd, instead it’s been all
about Elena. Santos doesn’t think it matters as long as they all get what they
want in the end.
Diane sits
at the hospital a wreck. Her mother arrives, and asks what happened. Diane
tells her it was a home invasion, and Philip was stabbed. Her mother asks about
Elena, and she tells her that she doesn’t know, Elena is MIA.
Jeremy
doesn’t want Elena to go, knowing it’s a trap. She wasn’t asking, and even Nick
chimes in that its too dangerous. Elena worries that Clay will be shipped home
one piece at a time, and still Jeremy says no. Rachel arrives with the injured
Logan, and the pack springs into action. Rachel tells them that two people
broke in, and Logan tells them it was LeBlanc and Marsden. Jeremy moves to remove
some fluid so his lungs can inflate. Nick takes Rachel from the room so Jeremy
and Elena can work. He tries to comfort her, telling her that Logan has a lot
to live for. Rachel isn’t sure what she’s bringing her child into. Nick tells
her that she’s bringing her child into a loving family who will protect her,
that she means the world to Logan. Nick assures her that Logan will pull
through, that she’s safe. She wonders if she and Logan can go back to their
normal lives. Nick tells her that things will never be the same, but that’s
what happens when you have a baby.
Logan can
breathe again, and he apologizes for bringing Rachel there, but Jeremy knows he
had no other choice. He tells him to rest up, he’s gonna need all his strength.
Santos
rouses Clay, they have some catching up to do. Santos tells him that there are
things that he needs to know, but Marsden reminds him to get answers he needs
to asks some actual questions, so far he’s just made some petty statements.
Clay ruined Santos’s childhood, and killed his brother and he wants to make him
and the Danvers family pay. Marsden thinks he’d be better off getting some good
therapy. Clay is feeling a little frisky this morning, and LeBlanc drugs him
up, to Santos’s satisfaction.
Elena sits
by the phone looking guilty. She finally makes a call to Diane. She asks how
Philip is, and he’s fine just resting. Diane asks how she is, and she says that
she’s fine. Elena wants to know what Philip remembers, but so far Diane tells
her its not much, that she should be here with Philip. Elena asks which
hospital, and tells her that she’ll be there as soon as she can, but she’s not
going. She turns off her phone, and pulls out Clay’s ring box, looking at the
ring before putting it back away.
Logan awakes
in the recovery room, with Rachel watching over him. He looks awful.
Elena tries
to sneak out, and Jeremy intercepts her. She tells him that Santos asked to
meet him, and Nick takes up a position behind her. She rushes Jeremy, but the
alpha grabs her and sticks her in the cage. She cannot believe that he is
locking her in, but Jeremy is trying to save Clay too. He cannot have her
compromise his negotiations. He let her go back to Toronto thinking she would
be safe, and he was wrong. She tells him that he thinks he can offer himself up
to Santos and this will all be over, but Santos is untrustworthy. Err, hello
pot, meet kettle. She was about to do the same thing. Elena thinks that Santos
will kill him and Clay, but Jeremy already knows that. He cannot trust Santos,
but he vows to protect Elena from herself while he and Nick deal with Santos.
Rachel
remains in Logan’s room. He awakens, feeling better, asking about her. She’s
fine. She tells him that said they were safe at Stone Haven, but she doesn’t
feel safe. He tells her that the people who attacked them can’t get them here.
She asks if they’re suppose to live there forever, but he tells her that when
he’s healed they’ll go, far far away.
Santos
taunts Clay that it won’t be long until he and Elena walk off in the sunset,
but Clay knows that it’ll never happen. Santos is confident it will. He alludes
to Clay’s unwavering pack ties, asks how it felt to kill his brother at
Jeremy’s behest, Clay tells him as good as it will when he kills him. Santos
hits him, asking which families are aligned with the pack. All of them, another
hit. Is Jeremy recovered from his sneak attack. Enough to take out his prize
fighter Koenig with enough to kick Santos’s ass. Well Santos is just not
getting the answers he desires. Santos tells him that the pack is falling
apart, and that the only thing left in Clay’s future are more beatings. Marsden
stays his hand. This isn’t about taking down the pack, its about a petty little
man never getting his way, while Clay gets everything he desired, pack status
and the girl. Marsden walks away in disgust. The Pack may be reduced, but
Santo’s most dangerous and valuable asset has lost faith in the cause. Santos
struggles to recover, telling Clay that time is running out, that he and Elena
have a lunch date. He tells him how he watched Elena at Philip’s sister’s
wedding, trying to live a normal life, but she’d give it all up to save Clay, a
fact he’s counting on. When he gets his hands on Elena he plans to use her as a
broodmare, making a new generation of werewolves. He gets too close to Clay,
and Clay head butts him. Santos retaliates by giving him another round of shock
therapy.
Elena paces
in her cage.
Jeremy
checks in on Logan, and tries to rehydrate him. Rachel is resting in Elena’s
room, he’s been trying to keep her from wandering around. Logan thanks him for
saving his life, and apologizes for not being there when he was needed, but
Jeremy understands. He tells him how excited he is for a little one to be
running around the grounds again. Jeremy beams, happily, telling Logan his life
is going to change so much with fatherhood, that a large part of parenthood is
to do what is right for the child. He tells him that the first time he looks in
his child’s eyes he will do whatever it takes to keep him safe. Jeremy turns
serious, over the centuries they’ve learned the best way to keep their kind
safe is within the pack. Jeremy leaves him with his thoughts, hoping to
continue to conversation later.
Elena
continues to pace. She hears Jeremy car leaving, and she tries again to break
free. Rachel hears Elena rattling the bars of her cage, and she sneaks away to
find the sound. Down the stairs she creeps through the empty house, until she
finds the door leading to the basement. Rachel opens the door, and Logan stops
her. She told him that she heard something. He tries to blame it on old pipes,
but she’s not buying. He warns her that she does not want to go down there,
that she cannot unsee some things. But her curiosity is not assuaged. Logan
says again that it’s just old pipes, and urges her upstairs. He goes down
himself and finds Elena in the cage. She tells him that Jeremy put her in the
cage because he plays to sacrifice himself to Santos in exchange for Clay’s
life. Logan stupidly releases Elena. She doesn’t think they’re safe, and tells
him to take Rachel and leave as she grabs the tranquilizer gun.
Nick and
Jeremy wait. Santos may be many things, but he’s always punctual. They wonder
if it was all just a ruse just to lure them out. Elena waits for Santos, and
Santos arrives with LeBlanc in tow. Elena warned Santos that Nick and Jeremy
were waiting for him at the diner and chose an alternate location. She’s
willing to bargain for Clay’s release, but he hasn’t brought Clay, worried that
Elena was setting a trap for him. Santos shows Elena a video of the tortured
Clay, and Elena reintroduces Santos to her fist. She holds him in a strangle
hold, but he waves LeBlanc’s help off. Elena threatens that if he kills Clay
she will hunt him down and do worse. Clay will remain alive if Elena
cooperates. She’s willing to listen. Santos tells her that the pack is going
down, but if she joins his new pack he’ll let the rest live as long as they
take up the nomadic mutt life. Santos is deadly serious, and if Elena reneges
on the deal he will have Clay and the pack slaughtered. Best of all in Santos’s
mind is that Elena gets to birth a new dynasty, because letting a sleazeball
knock her up is a bonus. Elena asks about everyone else in her life. He tells
her that Victor Olsen went to visit Philip, and he doesn’t believe in a cell
phone. Santos is all that lies between the pack and death. Elena makes no
choices, but Santos is only keeping the offer on the table until dusk.
Philip is
interviewed by a detective. He tells him he remembers a couple of guys coming
in, but he didn’t recognize them. The event flashes through his mind in bits
and pieces. They didn’t say what they wanted, they just jumped him when they
came in but he put up a fight. The detective saw the place, and was impressed
by the amount of fight he put up. The detective asks if there was any reason he
could think that would have provoked the attack, but Philip has no enemies. He
gives him his card if he remembers anything. Diane tells him that he should have
told him about the stalker at Elena’s show he beat up, but he didn’t say
anything since the stalker was one of the guys. He explains to Diane that Elena
and her family are involved in some kind of mafia war, that she told him
yesterday. He tells her to keep things quiet. He’s not saying anything because
he doesn’t want to put them in further jeopardy.
Marsden pays
Clay a visit, and offers him some water. He wishes that he could help Clay
more, but Santos has made him little more than a peon. He tells him that Elena
and Santos are having a meeting, that Elena has made quite the impression on
Santos. Things have gone sideways on him, he never intended for things to get
this far out of hand. Clay asks if he thought the pack would roll over and play
dead. Marsden confesses that he traded the Devil he knows in Jeremy for the
Devil he doesn’t in Santos, who’s gone from ambitious upstart to tyrannical
despot in the blink of the eye. Clay suggests that he can switch sides. Marsden
wonders if that is the same offer he made Cain before he killed him and buried
him.
Philip
watches the wolf video with a renewed interest after seeing Elena in wolf form.
Nick and
Jeremy rush through the house. Nick heads off to find Logan and Rachel, while
he heads to check on Elena. Nick finds them missing from the recovery room, and
Jeremy finds the cage empty. There was no sign of a struggle, no scent of a
mutt. He knows that Logan let her out, he just hopes that Elena knows what she
is doing.
Victor Olsen
returns to the scene of the crime to Elena and Philip’s apartment. Elena
catches him in a surprise choke hold. She gets him chained up in the bathroom,
she wants to knows where they’re holding Clay. Olsen taunts her about their
friendship. He’s been in his life longer than anyone else. He asks what she’ll
give him in return for the information she desires. She offers him his life as
she changes a single finger into a talon. He doesn’t think she’s a killer, but
the truth is that he doesn’t know her anymore.
No word from
Logan or Elena yet, messages left for both. The grapevine is buzzing that the
mutts are looking for new recruits. Nick is guessing for an all out assault,
which makes sense to Jeremy. With Clay gone they’re weak, but the longer this
attack is drawn out, the more he suspects Santos isn’t the one actually pulling
the strings. He was behind the recruitment of Marsden and Cain, and the
changing of the killers and pedophiles, but its just a small part of the big
picture. Elena is being hit from all sides, and then the video of Elena and
Logan as wolves surfaces, it just all too many coincidences otherwise. Nick
tells him that Clay said the video was given to Philip by James Williams. They
turn their attention to James Williams and his motivations.
Elena
continues slashing away at Olsen when he doesn’t answer her questions. She
slices open his wrist, and offers to stop the bleeding if he tells her where
Clay is. Olsen tells her what a pretty girl she’s always been. He just wants to
brush he hair one more time. He asks her to untie him. She will after he tells
her what she wants to know, he will if she promises to let him go. Elena hears
someone trying to enter the apartment. She gags Olsen and binds his wounds with
a towel while she goes to check who is there. It’s Philip. He didn’t get her
messages since he didn’t have his cell phone, and he backs away from her
fearfully. He’s unsure who is the bigger threat the men who attacked him, or
her. She tried so hard to make things work, to be who he thought she was. All
he wanted was honesty, but she couldn’t do that. She asks him to go her one
last favor and go, run far away, but he refuses to be chased away. She tells
him that once he met her his life was forced down a dark road. She didn’t want
that but it happened. He hears a noise in the bathroom, and she has blood on
her hands. She begs him to go while he still can, and he heads out the door.
She heads back to the bathroom, tells Olsen that he can save himself. He thinks
she’s still scared, but she isn’t anymore. He tells her what she wants to know,
and she wonders how can believe him. He taunts her, that’s the same thing
Philip just said to her. She removes the towels from his bleeding wrists, and
stuffs his rabbit foot into his mouth. She promised to release him, but she
lied.
LeBlanc
practices his knife throwing skills when he smells something, or rather
someone. He heads off towards the scent, into the woods. Santos comes outside,
and finds LeBlanc missing. Elena ambushes Santos from above. She knocks him
unconscious with the tranquilizer gun. Marsden hears a disturbance outside, and
finds Santos knocked out. She hits Marsden with a tranquilzer, and kinds Clay
strung up. He says “it’s to see you darling,” and I squeal just a little.
LeBlanc sniffs out Elena’s jacket, and heads off towards the road to find her,
but he’s too late. She already has Clay in the car, and she heads out.
Back at
Stone Haven, Clay is doing fine, but he’s still weak. Jeremy tells Elena that
Jorge went to her apartment to sterilize it, and remove all traces of her. He’s
sorry that she was forced to kill again. Olsen gave her everything that she needed,
and she still killed him. She never wanted to be an executioner, which is why
she left Santos and Marsden alive. After what she saw they did to Clay though,
she should have. She did what she had to do for Clay, Jeremy tries to assure
her, like Clay did for her when she first came there. Clay bit her and almost
killed her, she doesn’t see the connection. Jeremy admits that when Clay first
brought her to Stone Haven it was a very foolish and impetuous act. He’d just
come back from a run, and was changing when she saw him. Elena didn’t see him.
Jeremy tells her that he couldn’t take that chance. He thought she had saw her
change and he was going to kill her, he couldn’t take the chance. Light bulb.
Clay bit her to give her another chance at life, he defied Jeremy’s orders. All
that time Elena blamed Clay for ruining her life. Clay was always the faithful
son, willing to accept his burden to protect the relationship between Jeremy
and Elena. She cannot believe that he would let Clay carry that weight, and he
questioned himself everyday if he did the best thing, and ultimately decided it
was best for the pack. Elena is back to her selfish thinking. Jeremy’s decision
wasn’t best for her though, or Clay. Jeremy points Clay chose to make that
sacrifice, as she chose to make a sacrifice to save him. All that time, Elena
shut him out, while Clay has remained the most trustworthy person she knows.
She walks away. And the burden shifts to Jeremy’s shoulders.
Elena goes
to check on the recovering Clay, who lies asleep on his side. She slides into
bed behind him, wrapping her arms around him, and he relaxes in them.
Marsden
realizes that they’re all dead. LeBlanc wants him to come, but he doesn’t
realize the hornet’s nest they’ve kicked. Santos reasons that Clay is still
weak, they can win this battle. Marsden doesn’t like the odds with the three of
them left. Santos gets a call from James Williams. He knows that Santos has lost
his trump card. He informs him that there will be no more kidnapping. He’s
ready for action. It’s time to storm the castle.
