At Gerard's hunter headquarters, two young werewolves - Jiang and Tierney, along with Theo are tied to a metal scissor gate while former Eichen House orderly Schrader poked them with a high-voltage taser stick.

"I'm not gonna tell you anything," Jiang growled.

"I don't really have any questions," Schrader retorted.

"We're not afraid to die," said Tierney.

"Does that go for everyone here?" Schrader asked.

Theo shook his head. "Not me. No death. No pain. I'll tell you anything you want to know."

"I don't have any questions," said Schrader.

"Okay, maybe you have some unfinished business with these two losers, but I'm not with them. I don't know who they are, or what they did, or what their problem is. I'm not a part of it."

Schrader threw a bucket of water on them and then electrified the entire gate.

Theo growled. "That wasn't very friendly."

"Just do it!" Tierney egged.

"How about you let me do the talking?" Theo retorted. "You obviously have us here for a reason. If you, if you tell me what you want - "

Schrader shocked them once more.

"I'm trying to help you! What the hell did you two do?" Theo asked.

Electricity flowed through his body.

"All right, like, can - can you just - STOP IT! STOP IT! FINE!"

Schrader shocked him.

"If we get out of this alive... I'm gonna kill you myself. And then I'm gonna - "

Theo realized that the electricity was beginning to melt through the plastic handcuffs holding the prisoners to the gate.

He smirked. "So, is that all you got? Because I'm not impressed. What did they do? Give you permission to shock us a little, but not do any real damage? They don't trust you, Schrader. Yeah, that's right. I remember you - weird little sadist from Eichen House. Did they fire you? Or did you get out of there before they realized you were just another psycho that should've been locked up with the other freaks?" He chuckled. "No, they fired you, didn't they? Did you get caught trying to stick helpless patients with needles again? Or did they catch you trying to stick them with something else?"

Schrader dials the electricity up to eleven.

Theo growled. "Looks like...we've got...a winner!"

The surge burned through the cuffs and Theo broke free. He easily incapacitated Schrader and strapped him to the metal gate.

"You're just gonna leave him here?" Tierney asked.

"Him and you," Theo retorted.

Jiang scoffed. "We didn't need your help anyways."

"Come on. I want to put a couple hundred miles between us and this place by dawn," said Tierney.

"You got a car?" Theo asked.

Tierney shook her head. "No, but he does," she said, nodding toward Schrader.

Theo noticed a pack symbol tattoo on the young girl's arm. It represents stacked rocks and marks her as part of Satomi's pack. "What is that?"

"You've never seen a pack symbol before?" Jiang asked.

"I'm not much of a pack animal. What does it mean?"

"They're stacked rocks. It's a Buddhist practice," said Tierney.

"You're part of Satomi's pack - the Buddhist Werewolves," said Theo.

"Satomi's dead," retorted Jiang. "We don't have an Alpha or a pack anymore. Why do you care, anyway?"

Theo shook her head. "Oh, I don't. But you should find Scott McCall. He's got a thing for taking in strays."

Tierney perked up. "You know Scott McCall? Do you know where he is?"

Theo smirked. "I might."
