TV Recap: Bitten "Vengeance"
By: Sue
Jeremy spars with Nick, trying to prepare him for the upcoming fight. His father died because he was unprepared, and Jeremy cannot afford to have anyone fighting with emotions. Jimmy Koenig in the past always fought for the pack not against it. Jeremy warns that Antonio underestimated Jimmy in the past and vowed to never do it again. When Antonio came back to the pack, Jeremy was suppose to go get him, but his father had something else in mind and sent Jimmy. Antonio admitted that he finally understood why sons were raised by the pack. Antonio told Jimmy that if he plans to kill him to do it quick, and bring his son to Jeremy. His father had other plans, he wanted him to watch Jimmy at work as he killed another mutt, and to do the same himself. Antonio choked his captive, crushing his windpipe, then Jimmy forced him to dig their graves. Antonio rejoined the pack, and never spoke of Nick’s mother again. Jeremy asked Dominic about it later, and Antonio’s father had never given the order, it was all Jimmy’s manipulation. He forced Antonio to kill someone just for sport. Jimmy enjoys the kill, wants to savor that victory. Jeremy warns Nick not to lose his focus.
Elena and Clay spar. He tells her that her eyes are giving away her next move, but she’s not taking his advice. He’s trying to share with him all that Malcolm taught him about Jimmy’s fighting style. Elena fights harder, and Clay puts her down. He tells her that if she hates him, that Koenig is worse, to take all her hate and channel it against Koenig, cause he won’t be easy on her, he doesn’t love her. Elena stalks off. Nick gives Clay an update on Jeremy. He’s not fully recovered, but they can only hope he’s prepared.

Daniel warns that he’ll be outnumbered, but Jimmy thinks it just makes his job easier. He tells Daniel that he’ll clean up his mess. Le Blanc nettles at Daniel, that Jimmy is giving him grief. Le Blanc wants a chance to kill Jeremy for sport. Daniel tells him if he wants to take a run at the pack be prepared for Clay. He tells him about a mutt that went after the pack 10 years ago, Clay skinned him alive. Le Blanc may kill for fun, but Clay does it for obligation, no mutt goes into Stone Haven and comes out whole, if they come out at all. Amber is broken hearted to hear that he doesn’t think Cain is still alive. Daniel prepares another bunny for Victor Olsen to hunt, which Le Blanc thinks is a waste of time. Le Blanc wants to atleast kill Joey Stillwell, who they have bagged in a cage, but Daniel is saving him for Victor. Amber cries, Cain should have listened, should have changed her. Le Blanc tells her that if Cain was smarter he would still be here, and Amber’s little mind comes with another plan. She plays to Le Blanc’s ego, stroking it, he pulls a knife on her, and she continues her seduction. She plays up destroying the pack, destroying Elena.

He tells her that they’re Elena’s, and they were supposed to be running together. Logan admits that they were running that night, which raises Philip’s alarms. He demands to know why his girlfriend’s clothes where on the beach. Logan tells him that he and Rachel had a fight, that Elena was a sounding board and then the two of them went swimming, that they never saw any wolves. Philip accepts the answer, and Logan tells him that though their family is having some troubles right now, Elena is very much wanting to get back to him. Philip sees the family picture from Bear Valley, and asks which one is Jeremy, when Clay catches his eye, or maybe it’s the fact that Elena’s hand is on his knee. Logan tells him it’s their cousin Clay, and although he accepts that answer, he doesn’t look so sure of it. Logan walks him out and finds a package on his doorstep.

anyone being able to stop it. Finished stitching, Jeremy offers to disinfect the rest of her scrapes, but Elena just wants rest.
Le Blanc watches Amber. She tells him that as soon as he bites her, she’ll let him out. She tells him he can be rough with her, she likes it. Gentle is one thing that Le Blanc is not. He bites her wrist, savoring the feeling, believing that her revenge will come soon.
Jeremy finds Nick having a drink, and he’s come prepared. Nick is reading over the Sorrentino family history, he knows that his father would be proud. Nick admits that Jeremy was right, that Koenig let down his guard, too wrapped up in the upcoming kill. He wonders if Jeremy put his life on the line so that Nick could have the kill, but Jeremy doesn’t answer. In all the ruckus, they have yet to spread Antonio’s ashes. Jeremy offers to drive up with him to his family estate and do it, it’s not far and they could be back by morning. The two go to pay Antonio tribute.
Elena sits in the library next to the fire. Clay enters, and she rises. He asks her not to leave. She thought he went with the others to spread Antonio’s ashes. He tells her that she doesn’t have to pretend with him. She worries about the what ifs, but he’s just glad she’s alive, he thought he lost her. She kisses him, and he reciprocates her at first tentative kisses. Their kisses turn more passionate, and they strip down and have sex before the fire.

He tells her that Clay either goes with her, or she doesn’t go at all. Elena doesn’t want Clay to come for obvious issues, but Jeremy isn’t budging on this.
