There’s a distinctly corporate feel to this week’s Wolfblood episodes, what with Segolia moving in all about the place and inserting themselves into the pack’s lives, whether that’s trying to woo Shannon with a job (and a science montage!), saving Wolfbloods from a comet curse, or just Mr Jeffries’ ongoing crush on uni pal Dr Whitewood (seriously, dude, she’s definitely not interested).

In “Wolves Among Us”, it’s finally that long-anticipated (at least if you’re headmaster Mr Jeffries) work experience day. With Shannon lying to her friends to join Kara at Segolia, and Rhydian and Jana bunking off the Kafe to help Jana make her mark on Stoneybridge, it’s all about truth and lies in this episode. Rhydian’s still angry at Shannon for her lies in the following episode, but she has got a point. Both Rhydian and Jana can be stubbornly immovable at times, and unwilling to listen to any other arguments. This is Shannon’s dream, to work in science and make the world better, and after spending so much time lying and making sacrifices for the Wolfbloods, doesn’t she deserve a chance?
In “Dark of the Rune”, an approaching comet has Shannon and Kara giddy with excitement, Liam and Ceri making dire pronouncements and Kaye and Katrina desperate to find a spare TV to watch the Made in Eccles finale (which, by the way, is an excellent skewering of those shows in just the few lines we hear – “I’m leaving. I’m doing Made in Macclesfield” and “I’m leaving. They’re given me and Gary matching spray tans”).
The best bit about these episodes was what the return of Whitewood offered us. Like we said in last week’s review, it’s great to see the Three Ks becoming individuals, and this week was Kara’s time as she vied with Shannon to be the best work experience girl. Unfortunately for her, not knowing about the Wolfblood secret means she’s never going to be part of the club - but she has realised that there is some kind of big secret being kept from her, a secret she attempts to uncover by phoning an ambulance.

And because it’s Whitewood doing the asking, Shannon has no problem with stealing Jana’s DNA and handing it over to Segolia. According to Whitewood, they’re looking for a “cure… for humanity,” but exactly why would you need to know the differences between tame and wild Wolfblood DNA for their healing abilities? Maybe we’re reading too much into this (your faithful reviewer isn’t a scientist, just lived with some), but surely just comparing Wolfblood and human DNA would be enough - so exactly what is going on?
In next week’s episodes, it’s all kicking off as the pack try to discover the truth behind Cerberus by walking into the belly of the Segolia beast. Did Gerwyn really lie, and embezzle the money from the company? Or are Kincaid and Victoria just as sinister and evil as they appear? After all, Kincaid, no-one takes that much interest in a schoolgirl without an ulterior motive.
