"She's Not There"Edit

Sam pays for Tommy to have physical therapy and goes to anger management with a group of shifters. Tommy moves in with Maxine Fortenberry, praying on her loneliness after her son Hoyt left home. ("She's Not There")

"You Smell Like Dinner"Edit

Luna Garza visits Sam at work and he walks her to the door. Tommy, who is sitting at a table, asks who she is. Sam tells Tommy to mind his own business.

At Sam's shifter meeting, they discuss what the freakiest thing they've ever shifted into was. Luna silences everyone when she admits she turned into her own mother. She explains that her mother died giving birth to her. In Navajo culture, there's the belief that skinwalkers were horrible, evil witches whose powers allow them to transform into any animal on Earth. They are said to gain their powers by killing another shifter from their own family. She says that the feeling of being somebody else was crazy and scary at first, but then became exhilarating because she got to be her mother, who she never met. Luna sniffs the air, sensing another shifter. Sam gets the scent, and takes off. He sees that Tommy has been listening the whole time. Tommy sees Sam running toward him, and takes off. They shift into owl form and Sam flies after his brother.

Tommy catches Sam, and they accuse one another of betrayal; Sam for lying about the anger management classes and Tommy for lying about his leg, which has obviously healed. Tommy softens and tells Sam that he just wants to be brothers. Sam doesn't trust Tommy but tells him that they can slowly chip away at that and try again to start a relationship. ("You Smell Like Dinner")
