Well... that doesn't look good.
The Hunters have arrived in Aspen, Colorado, where the message they received to stop looking into demons originated from. The team start worrying upon finding out Priya escaped from her cage after changing into a werewolf the night before, and get very concerned when they find the body of Ruth Wu, who appears to have been mauled to death by a wolf. A Werewolf, perhaps...?Tropes
- Animal Assassin: Sort of, as Sam killed Ruth while in his werewolf form.
- Asshole Victim: Ruth in spades.
- Back for the Dead: Ruth makes her return as the victim this time around.
- Call-Back: The Douglas Triplets are on Santa's Naughty/Nice list (in the "Nice" category, of course).
- Christmas Episode: This case takes place on Christmas Eve.
- Death of a Child: What set off this whole thing was Ruth killing Sam Ellis' cub, despite the boy being too harmless to hurt anyone.
- Irony: The only case Ruth appeared in involved werewolves, and she ended up killed by a werewolf.
- Karmic Death: Ruth killed an innocent werewolf pup years ago, and the little guy's dad made sure that came to bite her in the butt... and her jugular too.
- Karma Houdini: Zigzagged. Officially, Ruth's death is written off as a regular wolf attack, but Annette forces Sam out of her wolf pack to fend for himself.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: This case turns out to be one for Ruth, who years ago murdered an innocent werewolf pup, and now the little guy's dad, Sam got revenge on her.
- One of Our Own: Priya is made a suspect since she broke out of her cage during the full moon and was previously taken hostage by Ruth.
- Papa Wolf: Quite literally, Sam who's a werewolf murdered Ruth who smugly shot his son, who was an innocent little pup incapable of hurting anyone at the time.
- Surprise Santa Encounter: Santa Claus himself shows up as a suspect for this case after finding his naughty/nice list.
- Would Hurt a Child: Apparently it didn't matter how harmless or how old you were to Ruth Wu. If you were supernatural, she'd happily kill you.
- You Killed My Father: Inverted, Sam murdered Ruth because she murdered his son.
