Comforted After a Hard Day at Work by Your Alpha Werewolf Boyfriend
"Angel" returns home from a difficult day at work, but tries to hide their struggles from David. He notices and calls them out on it, but they argue that with everything he's dealing with in the wake of the Inversion disaster, it feels selfish for them to ask for support over what they view as a lesser problem. David disagrees and tells them adamantly that he is there to help them no matter what struggles he's going through as well. Pain isn't a competition, and they are partners that support one another. They comfort one another. "Angel" asks about the state of the Pack. Amanda has announced that she is moving back to South Dakota, where her dad's family lives. She asked Christian to move with her, but he refused, not wanting to leave Dahlia, and they broke up as a result. Brooks has been offered a job and chosen to pursue it instead of working security anymore. Linda is leaving the team as well. Miguel is staying on, but will no longer be doing active work, instead taking over the administrative side of things and staying off the field.
Helping Your Sweet Werewolf Boyfriend Get Back to Sleep
"Baaabe" finds Asher playing familiar video games in the middle of the night. He confesses that he is unable to sleep, struggling with insomnia as a result of his experiences during Inversion. The silence wears away at him. His therapists have tried to remind him that it will take time for things to feel normal again, but he is frustrated at the hold these memories still have on him and the way they impact his life. He doesn't expect it to get better overnight, but it doesn't even seem to be getting marginally better, and he's finding it harder and harder to keep fighting when he can't get even one night of peace so that he can remember what it feels like. "Baaabe" comforts him and helps him finally get to sleep, filling the silence per his request.

Damien and Lasko arrive and Damien reveals that something is wrong with Lasko, but he's not sure what, with the Air Elemental actively dodging any questions regarding his new position or the Academy in general. Damien is worried about him. They eventually confront him, and Lasko admits that he has been avoiding talking about anything that he fears could bring back memories of that evening for them, believing that what they went through was much worse than his own struggles that night. His friends all reassure him that that isn't the case, that there is no point in trying to rank their grief, and that they all support one another. The night continues much better after that, the tension relieved.
