In this episode, Scott McCall finds that it is extremely difficult to balance both school and his newfound werewolf abilities. His enhanced physical skills give him a solid edge over his opponents on the lacrosse field, but when his anxiety overwhelms him, he accidentally injures teammate Jackson Whittemore.
