Elena and Philip enter rough waters and to complicate things the Mutts launch a coordinated attack in Toronto. Who is really behind this Mutt uprising? What is Santos really after? I can feel the season 1 finale coming. Elena does something she hates to do. Watch and find out what. Enjoy

and the She-Wolf secret is spilled just like that...? all we needed more was that Shakira song!

Warning: Spoilers
I sat there, and I saw things going out of control, and I couldn't believe that the steady, slow-moving story suddenly lurches forward to spill a secret to a main character. Ooh, these Canadians. I guess they thought this was only gonna last one season.
If you haven't seen this episode yet, do not read any further. While it may be done all wrong, it becomes hugely HUGELY entertaining... Which is why this episode is currently rated higher than everything preceding it. Not just me that says so, it's apparently everybody.
At first, I just thought Logan was gonna meet his demise. The bulk of the cast is expendable, after all. Then all that frenetic fighting broke out. Philip is exposed to Elena's secret identity when the she-wolf comes to his aid while he's wounded. He witnesses her transform from a wolf to her far more delectable (snowy- white, yum) form. Then just sits there shell-shocked. My Lady is a wolf!
The first thing the producers overlooked is a basic rule of supernatural horror and suspense. Nothing is as scary as it will be in the dark. In the dark, when much is left to the imagination, when the mind fills in the blanks (usually with the worst case scenario) everything is much scarier. The blue-eyed Elena wolf turns out to be kinda, well, words fail me, scary, yes, of course, but also tremulous and goofy really (which fits in with the plot, I do get it) but this whole sequence should not have been in broad daylight.
But, like I said, hugely entertaining. One moment it's still that pathetically inept buncha mismatched bad guys, with those two big overgrown hero types cowering in front of then - RIDICULOUS, Victor looks like a light-weight worthless lout and Daniel Santos looks fragile - and the next, everything goes sideways, and Elena has to turn into the Lady Wolf AND EVERYTHING JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER though it changes the set-up of the story dramatically.
A train wreck in slow motion.
