Rhydian agrees to spend the full moon in the den with Maddy and her parents, but after finding an abandoned box of Sinclair clothes he takes some for himself, with Maddy taking some for her, Shannon, and Tom. Shannon doesn't want the clothes, and Maddy begins to feel guilty, though Rhydian quickly sells the extra shirt to a classmate and shrugs when Maddy refuses to take some of the money. He goes back to steal more clothes and sells them to the popular K's and Jimi, though they are caught with the stolen clothes and narrowly manage to cover for Rhydian and themselves. He swears off stealing but Jimi's friends Liam and Sam threaten to turn him in if he won't bring them Sinclair clothes for free, so he goes to get the clothes for the last time. After a chase with police, he reaches the local cafe Bernie's and attempts to give Sam and Liam the shirts, but they pretend not to know him and reveal a police officer standing right behind him. He is arrested and the Smiths rush to help him, pretending to be his foster family. They are unable to get him released that night, and Maddy's mother tells her to run so she won't be found out at moonrise. Maddy, however, comes up with a plan and tells her father to tell police that Rhydian has clinical lycanthropy and will hurt himself "transforming" when the moon rises. He actually does begin to transform and police quickly release him before he can destroy their cell, and the Smiths and Rhydian run to the woods to transform. Rhydian and Maddy talk about how much fun it was to transform outside as a pack on the way into school the next morning, with a crowd of classmates slowly gathering around them, baffled that Rhydian isn't still in jail. Rhydian laughs it off and goes inside with Maddy.
