''Within two days.'' Mind you, this was coming from an overzealous fan-girl, but it's implied that [[spoiler:Chuck's ''Supernatural'' books]] have more details than shown on-screen and might offer more insight into Sam's thoughts, so it's very possible that she was telling the truth.

OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: This is their first episode featured on ''Supernatural'', which portrays them as normal people infected by another werewolf's bite. They grow fangs and claws and turn feral after falling asleep, with their human mind unconscious as the werewolf in them acts on their instincts combined with their human self's feelings, i.e. killing those they think are immoral or deem a threat, and trying to turn the person they have feelings for into another werewolf to get a mate. They're injured by silver, and can be killed with the traditional "silver bullet to the heart".
