Seth is frustrated by his mother’s insistence that he should gain favor among the rebels and encourage Xavier to take up his brother’s title. His mood worsens when Tory and Caleb return and he spots her fresh bite mark. Jealous and seeking an outlet for his rage, Seth challenges Rosalie to a brutal Wolf fight. It escalates to the point that he thinks he accidentally killed her, only for her to playfully lick his face and walk away, leaving him humiliated.

Determined to rid himself of his feelings for Caleb, Seth then attempts a banishing spell, only to accidentally remove his nipple instead. Caleb arrives just in time to fix the damage and scolds Seth for his recklessness. Seth lashes out over Caleb biting Tory and betraying his promise to Darius. Caleb tries to explain and then urges Seth to seek comfort from his loved ones instead of isolating himself. Caleb takes Seth to a secluded treehouse that he built for them, where he gives him a massage. When Seth asks if he prefers Tory’s or his blood, Caleb admits that Seth’s is unlike any other and feeds from him.
