Bad Moon Season Two

Episode One: Serenity

Christmas

Stella and Jarod Jalo spend a quiet Christmas together. Stella's somewhat impatient curiosity about Jarod's extended presence in Astoria is answered when Jarod tells her that he applied for the open librarian position at the University of Astoria. Stella is flummoxed, questioning the abandonment of his career and girlfriend in Michigan (?). Jarod explains that he hasn't been satisfied by his work in a while, and his girlfriend turned out to not be a good choice. He also drops the bomb that not only did he apply for the position, it's already been offered to him and accepted. Unable to come up with any plausible objections, Stella reluctantly acquiesces.
Warner Pelt's Christmas at home in La Pine is made uncomfortable by tensions between his parents, which aren't hidden so well from Warner's prying wolf senses. A distraction from the situation in the form of two glowing creeper werewolf eyes outside his bedroom window soon presents itself. The situation turns out to be no less tense, however, when Warner investigates and discovers an old boy scout compatriot Will Galdwin. Will is immediately confrontational over territory, but two more mature werewolves, a woman named Ivy Morse and a man soon revealed as La Pine's alpha, Cosgrove, soon intercede to prevent any violence. Cosgrove tells Warner that he's welcome to visit his family, of course, but he can't use his powers while in the La Pine territory. He even offers to have his pack keep an eye on Warner's family for him.
