Meanwhile, ghost Alex (Kate Bracken) is dealing with her own problems as she struggles to come to terms with her feelings for Hal. Her emotions are further complicated when a charming visitor named Oliver (Alex Price) arrives and offers to take her away from her current situation.

As if that weren't enough, werewolf Tom (Michael Socha) is having his own troubles as he tries to uncover the truth about his own past and his connection to Eve.
