Looking at the end, I haven't been able to get over the feeling that the Ginger-wolf could actually speak, but couldn't be understood except by Brigitte, who being infected, could understand her. Not only that, Brigitte was being drawn into thinking like a werewolf, too.
Look at the scene in the hall with Ginger-wolf, Brigitte and Sam. Brigitte first sees the other two, says Ginger's name, Ginger growls back. Brigitte puts the flashlight down and crawls on her hands and knees up to Sam.
I guess crawling on one's hands and knees through blood in a long coat isn't too strange, maybe it shows non-aggression to Ginger, but what happens then is just weird.
When Brigitte reaches Sam, the look on her face is not sympathetic, it's not scared. She is not looking at Sam as though he is even human. Ginger gives a growl, and then , like it was the most obvious thing in the world, Brigitte begins to lap up the blood. And Ginger joins her, contented!
Now, as Brigitte was terrified and well within Ginger's scent, did Brigitte's mind "go wolf"? Did Ginger command her sister to partake in the blood feast like an alpha wolf would to an underling?
I think so simply from what follows next.
Brigitte keeps on lapping the blood despite the fact that her stomach will none of it. If she hadn't desired blood, she might have faked consuming it after the first swallow, but she doesn't. Almost like her mind is ahead of her body in the change. She throws up. Then it's like she has snapped out of it, and she says "I can't . . . I won't!"
What is she making a moral stand against? It can't be just drinking blood. Sam was going to heal if she went along. They still had the monkshood (never mind monkshood's later revealed to be lacking), they could still sneak Ginger a hit and could make and take more themselves.
It's like she understood what Ginger-wolf was doing there and why, and she didn't want to have any part in it. Now, Ginger-wolf must have growled something to Brigitte that hinted at what she was doing. Otherwise, why would Brigitte put her foot down?
Here's what I think was going on. I think Ginger was trying to repair the bond. She was trying to form all of them into a pack, using Sam's blood to seal the new oath. Sam would heal and the three of them would be together.
This is highly kinky and disturbing, it means that the sister-wolves were going to share Sam! Probably that offended Brigitte as much as anything else.
So Ginger would have snarled something like, "To our new pack! Drink!" And Ginger got pissed that Brigitte dashed the her plans, her "good faith" attempt at saving their bond.
Therefore, all through the under-the-stairs and bedroom we only understand Brigitte's side of the conversation. Actually, Ginger is talking to her all the way through and Brigitte understands her. And Ginger certainly is smarter than an animal. She ducked into the bathroom and waited for Brigitte to barricade it before closing in.
That's what I saw happening. Does anyone else think my conjecture might be right?
