TV show description:
This supernatural thriller series is based on the popular Women of the Otherworld novels by Kelley Armstrong.
Elena Michaels (Laura Vandervoort) is the only female werewolf in existence. Desperate to escape both a world she never wanted to be part of and the man who turned her into a werewolf, Elena has abandoned her pack and taken refuge in a new city.
In Toronto, she works as a photographer and hides her werewolf existence from her new boyfriend — a sexy and smart ad executive named Philip McAdams (Paul Greene). Handsome and a hard worker, he’s the steady, rock solid presence in Elena’s life; the one thing she can trust.
When bodies start turning up in her pack’s backyard, Elena finds herself back at Stonehaven, the werewolves’ ancestral domain.
Clay Danvers (Greyson Holt) is her former lover and she’s the only woman he’ll ever love. A Professor of Anthropology, he’s brilliant, explosive, passionate and violent. Clayton was a feral werewolf child in the New Orleans swamps until he was found by “Alpha” Jeremy Dancers (Greg Bryk), who then raised him as his son.
Nick Sorrentino (Steve Lund) the sexy cad of the pack who’s never taken too seriously — a quality he uses that to his advantage.
Logan Jonsen (Michael Xavier) is caring and wise beyond his years. He maintains the most “human” life of those in the pack – living with his girlfriend Rachel (a sous-chef who is on the rise, and who has no idea of Logan’s werewolf side) and managing a private psychology practice in Toronto. Logan is the main pack member Elena has kept in touch with during her year away and is one of the few people she trusts.
Torn between two worlds and two loves, Elena realizes that — when push comes to shove — she’ll stop at nothing to defend her pack.
Episode #30 — Truth, Changes, Everything
Upon Konstantin’s takeover of Stonehaven, his goons are tracking down the members of Jeremy’s Pack, forcing them to pledge allegiance to the Russian Alpha … or else. Both Karl Marsten and Anson Haight refuse, which costs them their lives, though Zachary Cain manages to evade his pursuers. He’s a survivor, that one.
Meanwhile, Jeremy and Nick are being held in their own cage, where Konstantin tells them his master plan: all Packs will be dissolved, and there will be only one Alpha to rule them all — namely, him. Also, as the defeated Alpha, Jeremy’s gonna have to follow Russian Pack protocol and be hunted by his conquerers … and if he refuses, Nick will be killed.
Except that Jeremy’s not the Alpha any more, is he? Elena’s in charge now, and when Konstantin finds out, he sends Nick to give her a message: get your ass back to Stonehaven or Jeremy’s toast. Nick finds Elena, Clay, Sasha and Alexei at the late Eduardo’s old hideout, where Elena tells him to look after Rachel.
Except it would appear that Rachel can look after herself, as Paige has trained her well in the ways of witchcraft. Nick kinda sorta admits that he’s in love with her, and she kinda sorta admits that she feels the same way. Maybe they’ll be able to figure all that out when this is all over …
… but for now, they’ve got invading Russian goons to kill.
Following a heart-to-heart with Elena, Sasha takes the truck and leaves, which is interpreted as an act of cowardice by Alexei. Elena somewhat mysteriously assures her half-brother that their father is a good man and has his reasons for leaving; as for the two of them and Clay, they’re going to wait in the woods to rescue Jeremy, who’s due to be hunted by the Russian Pack at noon.
Except the late The Albino’s twin brother — the one we’ve been referring to as ‘The Smoker’ — has other plans for the former Alpha. Jeremy’s escape attempt was foiled by the revenge-minded killer, and now he’s been tied by the neck to a tree. Luckily, Jeremy’s still got the hidden blade with which he used to pick the lock of the cage, and when Clay and Alexei show up, it provides enough of a distraction for him to finish cutting through his bonds and attack The Smoker.
The Smoker gouges out one of Jeremy’s eyes (yikes!) and gets Clay in a chokehold. It looks like all is lost until Alexei shows off the knife-throwing skills he learned from his father, landing one right in the center of The Smoker’s forehead. At last, Alexei has his revenge for the murders of his mother and sister!
Back at Stonehaven, Konstantin tries to get Elena to join him — after all, they’re family. Elena, of course, refuses … and promises her uncle that change is coming …
And here we see Elena’s master plan, as executed by her father, Sasha. He arrives with Paige at City Hall, where the Mayor is preparing for a press conference regarding the late Officer Anthony Rafalski (the poor guy who took The Albino away in a squad car) and the missing former Sheriff Karen Morgan. The Mayor’s speech about the importance of safety in their town is interrupted by Sasha, who tells the crowd that “It’s time for you to know our truth” … and proceeds to transform into a wolf in front of everyone!
The fascinated and moved Mayor approaches Sasha-wolf, though a freaked-out cop fires his weapon and mortally wounds the creature. The Mayor apologizes to the dying Sasha and Paige tells him that Elena and Alexei will be proud to call him father.
Back at Stonehaven, Konstantin orders his men to kill Elena, though they’re interrupted by a sudden text on his cell phone. Konstantin watches the video of Sasha-wolf at City Hall, shocked by what Elena has done. Elena tells him that they are now under Human Law, and if she doesn’t walk out of there alive, a list of Russian Pack names will be released to the authorities in Moscow.
“Go home, uncle,” Elena tells him … and he does, taking his goon squad with him.
There’s only one thing left to do: Burn it all to the ground. Jeremy joins Elena as she’s preparing to light the match, telling her that it’s her house to burn. From the safety of the greenhouse, they watch as Stonehaven goes up in flames, along with all the names and records of werewolf-dom from throughout the ages.
And now, they live their lives, no longer hiding. We see Nick, settling into what looks like a life with Rachel and baby Rocco. We see Zachary Cain get into a truck with Alexei, bound for parts unknown. We see Elena and Clay moving into their dream house, ready for the future.
And we see Jeremy, sporting an eye patch, watching as the authorities look for Karen Morgan’s body in the woods, thanks to the anonymous tip he provided. As he drives off, we hear voices on the radio describing how more and more werewolves are revealing themselves around the world … and how more and more of them are being accepted into society.

What do you think? Do you like the Bitten TV series? Do you think it should be ending or should have been renewed for a fourth season?
Every time I find a show I like they cancel it!
I nave read all of these books and REALLY LOVED this show. So sorry to see it gone.
I have read all books and loved the show. REALLY SORRY to see it cancelled.
Awesome series!!!! Wish they would continue it!!!! I’m sad that there are only 3!
I would like to see more seasons of this, I just love it, its different and could continued it and adding new wolves witches or even vampire or two that would be cool just don’t end it. there’s not a lot to look at any more with shows coming and going
Loved the show hate it was cancelled!!!!!!!!
does anyone know if the corporate powers of the stations read these posts?
tyvm
I really liked Bitten. I’m sorry to see it go. Except for the past two seasons, I had a hard time keeping up with where to find it, and when it would be on. I wish SyFy would let it continue and give it more support. Also, while I did like the scenes, it’s not all about sex. How about some moe action. She’s the only female warewolf, they should be able to build on that a stronger storyline.
I can’t believe that they are ending (yet again) one more fantastic series. I get so tired of the rat race behind the scenes with the networks trying to obtain more and more money via purchased advertising time. When is enough, enough? It’s so very tiresome. I’ve seen horrendous series that seemed to last forever and never packed nearly the story line, characters, or action events to compare with this series or numbers of other series that were cancelled that were equally good. Just leave the chase for the money trail behind and give us what we want!
I love Bitten! I so looked foreward to every episode and watched older seasons over and over!!!
Please keep it going! I love the show and there is so much more! I want to see!!! Elena run the pack, refresh the pack and have a little werewolf!!! Clay will be a great dad! And more females in the pack especially if they have baby girl!!!! Please please please bring Bitten back!!!
I love watching this series, wish they would bring it back.
I picked the first book up about a year ago and was immediately hooked, now that I have seen the show it is even better, so true to the story Kelly wrote. Please do not cancel it would be a shame not to be able to follow their life and story any further. The series is amazing!
I love this show!!! It’s exciting, story line is great and hope season 4 comes through. A movie would be amazing! Even a R rated series would be okay and might draw a few more viewers. I don’t think that’s neccessary, but sex sells. I just loved the cast and you start to care for each of them. Jeremy was an epic Alpha. I’m all in. #Howl4more.
Signing on – Ray James
Well of course all guys want a fourth season just to get a good look at Laura Vandervoort !!!!!!
