“Holden, mark me. Make me yours for real.”

“No. We're never having a baby. And I'd never let a wolfless waste of space like you carry my child.”

Holden Evans · Holden says this when Ella asks if having a baby would change anything.

“Luna, Luna! Please come to the hospital right now. You are pregnant.”

Caller · A hospital worker delivers unexpected medical test results to Ella over the phone.

How Episode 1 Ends
