Ep 3. Trespass

Elena is busy recovering from the injuries she sustained in the previous episode, and her focus is entirely on getting well. But her rest is interrupted when she hears a noise outside her Lake House, and goes to investigate. She discovers a young man in her yard, and her initial reaction is to assume he's a reporter or paparazzi who has snuck onto her property. But she soon sees that he is wounded, and she realizes that he's a supernatural like herself.

The young man's name is Alexei, and he's been injured while running from a group of other supernatural creatures. He begs Elena to help him, and at first she's reluctant--after all, he's a complete stranger, and she's still healing from her own injuries. But she ultimately decides to take him in and give him shelter from whoever is chasing him.

Meanwhile, Jeremy is dealing with some issues of his own. He's worried about the presence of other supernatural creatures in the area, and he decides to take a proactive approach to keep his pack safe. He assigns several members of the pack to patrol the borders of their territory, and is frustrated when the young wolf who volunteers for the job proves to be inept and easily distracted.

Elena and Alexei spend several days holed up in her Lake House, waiting for his pursuers to lose interest and move on. During this time, they get to know each other better and Elena learns that Alexei has some valuable information about a group of mercenaries who are targeting supernatural creatures. Alexei is hesitant to reveal too much, but Elena convinces him that she's on his side and will do whatever she can to help.

When the coast is finally clear, Elena sets out to return Alexei to his own people. They make their way to a remote cabin in the woods, where Alexei's pack has been hiding out. But their arrival is not entirely welcome--Alexei's leader is skeptical of Elena's intentions, and she has to work hard to prove that she's there to help.

As the episode progresses, Elena realizes that she's developing feelings for Alexei. But she also realizes that he's not entirely trustworthy--he's hiding something from her, and she doesn't know what it is. Despite her reservations, she agrees to help him and his pack in their fight against the mercenaries. In the final scenes, we see Elena practicing her wolf form and preparing for battle, ready to do whatever it takes to protect her own kind.

Overall, "Trespass" is a tense and action-packed episode that sets up some interesting conflicts and dynamics between the characters. Elena continues to be a compelling and complex protagonist, grappling with her own sense of identity and loyalty as she tries to find her place in the supernatural world. The introduction of Alexei adds some intrigue and romance to the mix, and the episode ends on a thrilling note as the stage is set for a showdown with the mercenaries.
