Grace is distraught. The only person with whom she can discuss her loss—Olivia—is unreachable on the phone. Meanwhile, each time she hears the wolves howl in the woods, her heart breaks. Frustrated, she finds the guitar Sam used to play and breaks it to smithereens in her dad’s study.
A few days later, Grace gets a call from a shaky-voiced Olivia. Olivia tells Grace that she finally turned and is now at a bus stop. Grace asks her to come over immediately. When Olivia arrives at Grace’s, Grace gets her into the hot shower and brings her warm clothes. Olivia apologizes to Grace for not telling her about being bitten. Jack was nice to Olivia at first, but after she couldn’t tell him about the cure, he bit her in his human form. Grace is repulsed by Jack’s cruelty.
The next morning, Grace hears from Isabel, whose mom has seen another case of advanced meningitis at the clinic. Isabel drew three vials of blood from the man, pretending to be a nurse, one each for Sam, Jack, and Olivia. Grace asks Isabel to meet her at Beck’s house in an hour.
