I think the blur that just drove past me

was Harlan and Luna.

[SIGHS] Late for school.

- Did you need to talk to Harlan?
- I did.

But I'll settle for you.

Checking up on me?

Maybe.

I'm fine.

I know you are.

And I also know what
you did was difficult.

Remember, I was a parent, too.

I can bring Harlan by to talk,

since he's involved with Cyrus.

You want a lawyer.

I get it.

Whatever makes you comfortable.

Personally, I know
Harlan had nothing to do

with setting the fire, but...

I'd want to be careful, too.

Especially if it was my son.

Oh, I think this is yours.

Lab techs found it on the ground.

I actually thought it was
a silver b*llet at first.

Nickel-plated brass.

But I did love "The Lone
Ranger" when I was a kid.

Bring Harlan to my office
when you get a chance.

You won't need a lawyer.

I promise.

I'll protect him as if
he was one of my own.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

- [THUD]

[EXHALES] All right.

Listen, mijo. We're
checking out of this dump.

No more motel.

I have to go talk to the manager,

and while I do that, I
want you to go to the room

and start gathering
your sh*t... your stuff.

- You got it?
- Got it.

Danny, I'm trusting you.

I'm gonna watch you walk
straight to the room.

Got it.

I'll be there in ten minutes, okay?

Ten minutes.

He was here.

She was below him on

Where were you?

At first, over there,
behind the counter.

What were you doing over there?

- Hiding.
- Hiding?

Yeah. He was f*cking scary.

If you woke up with a
naked guy in your room,

- you wouldn't be scared?
- No.

Was he actually here or not?

It's more like he's in my head.

Or I'm in his.

But why are you in our brother's head?

How should I know?

It's the same way we
were connected to Everett

when we could feel his anxiety.

That's not the same.

Then it's the same as last night.

I didn't wanna k*ll Garrett, but...

that's what we were all
about to do, isn't it?

She's right.

I wanted to k*ll your dad,

like, f*cking rip his throat out.

That's in your head, not mine.

I was angry at Garrett

because he gave Cyrus to the cops.

I don't wanna k*ll him.

Baron wants us to stop him.

I think we could even figure
out how to change him back.

But if he kills Austin tonight,

it's because of us.

You sure it's gonna be him?

It was the same music he
was playing on the piano.

Austin's next.

I don't care how much of a d*ck he is...

we have to do something.

Like what?

Maybe we could lure Baron
somewhere and catch him.

Then we have to figure out
how to turn him back to human.

We just found out silver b*ll*ts work.

Maybe something else does.

So you wanna hunt down
and catch a werewolf?

Yeah.

For real?

Let's catch a werewolf.

I can drive. I'll borrow the car.

No.

I was just leaving.

Wonderful.

Yeah.

You don't know my type.

Okay, well, do me a favor.

distractions right now.

Um, I need to borrow the car.

Absolutely not.

I need the car.

Everett, you spend ten hours a day

playing video games in your room.

I'm sure there's a zombie that
has to get sh*t in the head.

I don't play video games anymore.

I'm taking the car,
Mom. I'll have it back

I wouldn't count on all of the myths.

We know her. You remember her, right?

Yeah, from the parking lot.

No. From the parking garage.

No, the lot.

Right outside the motel, over
there, when I was running.

Remember?

Okay, fine.

Parking garage...
whatever you wanna call it.

Don't stare.

You know we're gonna need
to talk about this, right?

How about this time with a lawyer?

She's not being accused of a crime.

Although the fact that you and
Phoebe were such close friends

does raise a lot of questions.

So we'll bring a lawyer.

Of course.

Will you be needing a
court-appointed lawyer,

or will you be paying for one yourself?

Oh, look at that, Blake.

She's just like you.

Goes right for the throat.

I'll talk.

As long as you promise nothing
happens to my brother...

I'll tell you whatever you want to hear.

I believe you.

You're not gonna believe me.

I think I might surprise
you on that subject.

Both of you.

So in order to turn Baron back to human,

we have to k*ll him?

The myth is it's a
biological protective measure.

It keeps their true nature secret.

So you wanna k*ll the werewolf...

- Yeah.
- Wait for it to turn human...

Uh-huh.

Then bring it back to life?

But we're not really bringing
the werewolf back to life.

Once the heart stops
and it changes to human,

we're actually bringing the human back.

How?

CPR, epinephrine, and a defibrillator.

The thing is, he has to be cold.

At super low temperatures,

the brain doesn't need as much oxygen.

So when you freeze, your heart stops,

but your brain keeps working.

You could be technically
dead for three hours

and still be brought back.

Technically dead?

The heart, but not the brain.

Think about it.

What if all we have to
do is stop Baron's heart?

What if that's dead enough?

Dead enough to change him to human,

but not so dead where he
can't be brought back to life?

Right.

Harlan, we're gonna get him out.

Baron?

No. Cyrus.

We all know he didn't do it.

And we're gonna do something about it,

but we need to do this first.

Well, actually, first
we need to figure out

how to freeze the thing.

The werewolf.

Yeah.

How about the freezer?

What freezer?

Garrett told us that Ramsey brought him

to an overflow morgue, and
they had a medical freezer.

It can go to below.

Well, then all we have to do

is get Baron inside, lock the door,

and wait for him to freeze.

But how are we gonna get him inside?

You wanna use Austin as bait?

Baron's gonna k*ll him anyway.

Look outside, Luna.

We don't have a lot of time
before the sun goes down.

Where are you even gonna
get a sh*t of epinephrine?

[ELECTRICITY BUZZES]

Thanks for coming with me.

I know we've been through
this place more than once.

I was headed out to find Harlan.

He's not answering my calls.

He probably won't be
talking to me, either.

[LIQUID DRIPPING]

So are we here about arson
or a dead teenage girl?

Starting to think both.

Because of where the body was found?

As a park ranger, do
you know any animals

smart enough to maul someone

and then dump the body
in a bathtub at a motel

where their former best
friend happens to be staying?

As a park ranger,

I'd say that's pretty unusual
behavior for an animal.

Well, as an arson investigator,

I am not a homicide detective.

I'm gonna stick with what I know.

The fire originated here.

So if we missed something,

this is most likely
where we're gonna find it.

Does Everett know?

Yeah.

So he lied.

I don't think he wanted to.

f*ck him. I'll do it.

The whole thing?

You just said it's
gonna k*ll me anyways.

I'll do it.

That's it?

You don't... you don't wanna
ask any questions about...

No.

Actually, yeah.

I know you've had a crush on me.

But do you actually like me?

I meant questions about...

This is my question.

Do you like me?

Yes.

Yes, I like you.

No, you don't.

I like you sometimes.

When I'm not a complete assh*le.

Which is only sometimes.

Probably a little less than that.

You like me a little
less than sometimes?

Yes.

I'm good with that.

What's the plan?

Use it only if you have to.

If everything goes to sh*t.

Dude, can I get one of those?

Three vials of epinephrine.

How come you never asked about the fire

that k*lled my son?

I didn't ask 'cause I didn't
want to cross any boundaries.

I'll cross them.

He d*ed with his father

who was trying to protect him.

I'm sorry.

His father was not a perfect man.

To be honest, seeing
you with Harlan and Luna

makes me realize that my son could have

used a father like you.

You did notice my kids
aren't speaking to me.

That just means you're a good parent.

They should get angry with us sometimes.

And we're allowed to get angry, too.
