Synopsis

The great house of Collinwood stands in majestic isolation under the bright light of a full moon, but none who live at Collinwood know that on this night the full moon will mean something it has never meant before, i't is the sign of a new and terrifying evil that prowls the woods of the Collins estate in search of a victim.

Elizabeth shrieks at an unseen menace that apparently disappears when Amy shows up.

Elizabeth and Amy talk in the woods. Amy says whatever it was ran away when it saw her and introduces herself as Amy Jennings, Chris Jennings' sister. Elizabeth takes her back to the house.

Back at the house, Elizabeth relates her encounter with a wild animal to Julia, describing it as a wolf, dressed like a man. Julia goes for her favorite treatment, a sedative, while Elizabeth thanks Amy for saving her.
