Ep 1. Leader of the Pack

Wolfblood is a British TV series about a group of teenagers who are part of a secret community of werewolf-like creatures called Wolfbloods. Season 2 kicks off with an episode titled "Leader of the Pack." In this episode, we see the return of main characters Maddy Smith (Aimee Kelly) and Rhydian Morris (Bobby Lockwood), who are both Wolfbloods.

The episode begins with Maddy and Rhydian returning to school after the summer holidays. They quickly learn that their friend Shannon (Louisa Connolly-Burnham) has started a new club for wolf enthusiasts, which raises some concerns for the Wolfbloods. The club's focus on wolves could potentially lead to unwanted attention being brought to the secret community of Wolfbloods.

Meanwhile, Maddy's parents, Emma (Michelle Gayle) and Daniel (Marcus Garvey), are struggling to keep their veterinary practice afloat. They are in danger of losing their home and business if they can't find a way to bring in more clients. Maddy and Rhydian decide to help out by bringing the stray dogs they've been taking care of to the clinic. They hope that caring for these dogs will bring in more business and prevent Maddy's family from losing everything.

The episode also introduces a new character named Tom (Kedar Williams-Stirling), who is a new student at the school. Tom quickly becomes popular and is invited to join Shannon's wolf club. He is eager to learn more about wolves and becomes fixated on the idea of becoming a leader of a pack. This obsession with being a leader causes him to become reckless and take dangerous risks, leading the Wolfbloods to worry about what he might do next.

As the episode progresses, tensions rise when the Wolfbloods begin to suspect that Tom might be a Wolfblood himself. Maddy and Rhydian decide to investigate and discover that Tom has been hiding a secret identity. They confront him and ask him to reveal his true self. Tom is hesitant at first, but eventually agrees and reveals that he is indeed a Wolfblood. The group is relieved to have another Wolfblood join their community, but they are also wary of Tom's desire to be a leader.

The episode concludes with Maddy and Rhydian coming up with a plan to help Tom control his desires to be a leader. They help him harness his instincts and teach him the importance of being a part of a community rather than trying to be the alpha of a pack. As they work with Tom, they also work to keep the secret of the Wolfbloods safe from outsiders who might want to exploit them.

"Leader of the Pack" sets the stage for an exciting second season of Wolfblood. The episode introduces new characters and plotlines while also continuing to develop the relationships between the main characters. It explores themes of leadership, community, and the importance of staying true to oneself. The episode ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that the Wolfbloods will be able to overcome any obstacles that come their way as long as they stick together.
