Synopsis
- Dean: Hunting has a way of changing a person. After a while, right, wrong, good, evil, they all start to look the same. And then it makes you start to wonder, "Who's really the monster here--them or me?"
While Latika tries to meditate, John and Carlos argue. John wants to continue searching for the radio tower that is sending out the signal calling monsters to Lawrence, while Carlos wants to wait until they get some intel they are waiting on. Mary interrupts, noting Carlos is wearing her robe, when a phone rings. It's not the house phone, but a phone hidden in a credenza that is just for hunters. The call is from Tracy Gellar, a retired hunter, who has found Darla, an old hunting partner dead in her barn. As they head to Tracy's place, Mary explains how Tracy leaving hunting and having a life has been an inspiration for her.
At Tracy's farm they examine Darla's body, which looks as though she was killed by a werewolf. However, Carlos find a claw in the rafters, which suggests another creature is responsible. Together they help Tracy give Darla a hunter's funeral. The team speculate that the creature might be another "unicorn" monster drawn to Lawrence by the Akrida, and killed Darla on its way. Latika suggests she and Carlos visit a friend of hers nearby who may be able to help identify the claw they found.
- Dean: Hunting's not for everyone. You have to be strong, stay sharp, make tough decisions, and it's not easy, But then again, the righteous things never are.
