On This week’s episode of Syfy‘s new series, Bitten, we pick up where episode one left off: Elena (Laura Vandervoort) standing at the gates to the Stonehaven homestead after being summoned home to help the family track down and deal with a Mutt. With a not so sneaky Clay (Greyston Holt) coming up to her from behind, the hostility between the two is already beyond obvious. A blind person could see the tension between the two! Upon arriving at the house, Elena is greeted by the head of the family, Jeremy (Greg Byrk), who (to my surprise) she is genuinely happy to see. Since not everyone has made it home yet, after a short reunion, everyone heads to bed. Elena has her room that Jeremy has, to his assurance, left untouched during her year long absence. Upon falling asleep, we are greeted by Elena’s naughty naughty dreams/memories of her and Clay from happier times. Anyone else notice the ring on the ring finger of Clay’s left hand? A hint? Or a mistake?  Somewhat unlike the first episode, this episode was packed with important moments. The things that I think are most important to mention are a few things that I hit on in last week’s review, but didn’t have the information to expand on. The first of these things; notice how I didn’t put Mutt or family in quotation marks this week as I did last week. The reason for this is that, through old writings that Elena is reading, we learn the difference. There are two types of werewolves: Mutts and those in the family. Those in the family follow a certain set of rules and long set doctrines, including respecting the hierarchy. Mutts are wolves that do not answer the family and thus do not follow the rules. With this being explained, it’s a lot easier for us as viewers to understand why this Mutt is such a threat, beyond his constant killing. Oh yeah, with the killing thing, I guess this kid feels like murder is like Pringles: you can’t have just one. Big surprise. Anyways, the other things that I think are really important to hit on are the fact that females can only be turned into werewolves by being bitten, and that the reason that Elena is the only known female werewolf is because she’s the only who to ever survive being bitten. I think all of these things are very crucial bits of knowledge that will help us greatly as the season progresses.  Elena, Clay and Nick wait until after dark and then go track the Mutt by scent. Because of this guy, there are hunters looking to kill the wolf and collect the bounty that the local authorities are offering, as well as lawmen crawling all over the Danvers’ property (which is never good for this particularly “special” family), so they want to find him as soon as possible. They track him to a rundown little apartment type slum room. Having sensed the air, Elena looks under the bed and finds a “chunk of scalp”. Uh oh. As their leaving, two teenage boys see Elena come out of the building and assume that she’s the wolf with the bounty on its head. She scares them away and gets home, but being the teen boys that they are, they start spreading the word of their encounter as soon as possible. Anyone else have a feeling that in their version of events, they scared the wolf away instead of what really happened?  Until next week, my geeks!
