Episode: 2
Sarah experiences bad omens while picturing a restless black wolf in heavy fog. She stays up through the night, telling herself Brittany was truly dying. At sunrise, Nate wanders into the room with rumpled clothes. Sarah confronts him and catches sight of red scratches near his neck collar. Nate brushes off her worries, saying Brittany is stable and needs a healer. Sarah asks Nate directly if he slept in Brittany's bed.
Sarah experiences deep inner unease inside a mystical space. A black wolf paces around through smoke and thick fog while Sarah narrates her growing premonitions. She cannot shake the dark feeling that something terrible has happened during the night.
Sarah lies awake in the bedroom during the dark hours of the night. She tries to rationalize why Nate left her alone. Sarah convinces herself that his sick ex-girlfriend Brittany might genuinely be on the brink of death.
As daylight enters the room, Nate steps inside with messy clothes. Sarah immediately steps forward to confront him. During the confrontation, she notices fresh red fingernail scratches marked across his neck, partially hidden behind his shirt collar.
Nate explains that Brittany is doing fine now and promises to locate a healer for her condition. Sarah does not accept his deflection. She bluntly asks Nate if Brittany being fine means he slept in her bed.
“How was Britton?”
“She's doing fine now.”
“There has to be a way to cure her illness. I refuse to let her die.”
“By doing fine, you mean she got what she wanted by having you sleep with her in her bed?”
Sarah's blunt accusation about sleeping in Brittany's bed catches Nate completely off guard. He freezes in silence as her suspicion hangs between them in the bedroom. Will Nate confess to what happened between them during the night, or will he make up an excuse for the fresh scratch marks on his neck?
