The following contains spoilers for Wolf Pack, Season 1, Episode 2, "Two Bitten, Two Born," streaming now on Paramount+.
On Wolf Pack, lycanthropy can cause physical changes and heightened abilities. However, the series also includes a psychic component to lycanthropy as well. In the series premiere, Everett and Blake experienced connected disturbing visions that could be related to the werewolf who bit them. These visions might incorporate clues to the series' overarching mysteries, but they also establish a bond between Everett and Blake as they face their newfound lycanthropy.
In "Two Bitten, Two Born," all four members of the new pack experience visions that are less rooted in the supernatural mystery. Instead, these visions provide important insight into Blake, Everett, Harlan and Luna's personalities and current mental states. Analyzing these visions also reveals each character's possible arcs throughout the season as they forge new bonds.
Blake and Everett's Shared Visions Jumpstart Their Budding Romance
In the series premiere, Blake and Everett's visions bring them closer, but their interactions when facing the werewolf lead to a stronger connection. In "Two Bitten, Two Born," this bond begins to morph into a budding romance. After they both return to their families, Everett and Blake both have a restless night as their bodies continue to adapt to their lycanthropy. Scenes of Everett and Blake restlessly sleeping are interspersed with calmer visions where they see each other in the bed beside them. Blake and Everett's visions show that they see each other as a comforting rock that they can depend upon despite all the stress they are under due to the werewolf.
Later in the episode, Everett seeks out Blake to discuss their transformations, and Everett also bonds with Blake's little brother Danny in the process. Blake and Everett also almost kiss, but they are interrupted when Everett gets a panicked call from his friend Connor. Blake drops everything to help Everett find his friend. Thus, the visions may have started Blake and Everett's connection, but their continued support of each other has also led to a possible romance.
Harlan's Visions Reflect His Desire and His Fear of Intimacy
Instead of dealing with his anxiety over his father's disappearance, Harlan goes to the gym in a blatant attempt to distract himself. As he exercises, Harlan also has visions of a sexual encounter with another gym member, Cody. These visions also are continuously interrupted by Harlan's hearing abilities going haywire, distracting him from his workout. He also sees a reflection of himself in the mirror that does not match, and his reflection is struggling far more. This disconnect between Harlan and his reflection reflects the difference between Harlan's public persona and his hidden insecurities and fears.
Harlan's sexual fantasy also takes a darker turn when Harlan sees himself transform into a werewolf. This moment reveals his fear of emotional intimacy and a buried fear of his own powers. Harlan's behavior in the gym also reflects these fears. While Harlan had a great deal of swagger in the series premiere in his encounter with a stranger, he's a little more timid in his interactions with Cody in the real world. Harlan also seems spooked when Cody knows his name. Harlan's vision of his werewolf transformation shows that the reason he pushes people away and fears emotional intimacy is partially a fear of himself and how his powers might affect the people around him.
Luna's Vision Indicates Her Struggle Between Both Sides of Her Nature
After Harlan goes to the gym, Luna is left alone at the Briggs' family home with her anxiety about her father and her worries about her new pack members. As the moon rises, Luna hears a rustling outside and what sounds like growls. While Luna seems to assume at first that the creature outside is the werewolf who bit Everett and Blake, a white horse crashes through the front door of her home instead, and Luna instinctively partially transforms into a wolf and growls in response.
Luna's vision is admittedly the hardest to interpret at this point in the series, but her vision of a white horse crashing through the front door of the Briggs' family home could indicate that despite her desire to learn more about lycanthropy and develop pack connections, she still fears her wilder side. Her first instinct, when confronted with the horse, is to transform and treat it like an enemy. Also, notably, she is the only member of the pack who is alone in her vision, which could reflect her own loneliness and fear that she will have to face the wild on her own.
Overall, all four pack members' visions provide important insight into their characters as they face the full moon. As the series continues, more visions might provide more insight into the supernatural mystery. However, these visions also could provide a roadmap for Luna, Harlan, Blake and Everett's character development and relationship dynamics as they continue to become a true pack.
