During what he thinks is a routine traffic stop, Sheriff Donner is shot three times and hangs on the brink of death as Sophia and Sherman try to convince him that he must become a wolf in order to save himself.
In an effort to protect John, Ruby reluctantly marries Tyler. In the absence of her father, Willard Cates, whose death is still a mystery, Ruby is walked down the aisle by Sheriff Donner, who has recovered from his gunshot wounds without resorting to changing.
This episode was presented in flashback but seems to be thrown together. hide show
I got the feeling watching this episode, that they had a lot of the footage, and since the show had already been cancelled, they got Graham Green and some unknown characters to sit around and talk about what had happend, instead of having to shoot location footage or something, tying the scenes together. If the show had been renewed, this cost cutting effort would have been looked back on as a humorous interlude, but instead it remains a less than satisfying presentation of an important part of the story arc. As it is, it answered some of the questions about pack leader succession, but brought up a number of additional story lines which remain unanswered.
