With the horses going crazy in the other stalls, Will fights with the werewolf powers of the Universe as his medallion burns a hold into his chest. He sweats, he pants he thrashes with all the energy and method acting which Nicholson can muster. Predictably enough, Stewart has been infected by the disease when Will snapped at him in a fight and cut his hand. He arrives at the estate and decides...
