The Score On tonight’s episode... You finally got a good look at the Nosferatus, the new family that moved in next door. The teenage son is soooo cute (if a little pale)! Funny how you only seem to see their family after dark. You’ll just have to execute a ridiculously elaborate plan to get to know him. Your parents definitely wouldn’t approve. “You can’t date mundies,” they would say. “If he finds out your secret, you’d have to kill him,” they would say. But they’ll never find out. As the alpha male of your werewolf pack, your father’s always so busy running the business and keeping the peace. And your mother spends half her time with her coven and the other half with her “physical trainer”. You might have to blackmail your brother a little bit. That shouldn’t be a problem once he knows that you know about the magical chalice he’s been hunting with his faerie girlfriend for the last month. (Wasn’t dad looking for that chalice too?) You’re going to need his help if you’re going to pull this off before the time of The Prophecy… These… are the Nights of Our Lives.
