It should have at least two involuntary female TFs if they actually followed the books, I really can't wait to see how they manage to fuck this up. But I can guess. Since they've got it so our main character has gained control of her transformation to the point that she can stop the TFs caused by trauma that in the first book resulted in full transformations while fully clothed and would have been epic if shown on camera, my prediction is that we will not be getting any clothed transformation from her as she would just will it to stop. The other woman will either die mid-TF as she almost did in the book, or it will be off-screen entirely. I could be wrong, but this series has been changing the story dramatically based on what seem to be the technical limitations of their effects team. With their CG transformations the characters have to be naked, so all clothed TFs were written out. She was supposed to tear out of her clothes under that car, instead she fought it off. She was supposed to tear out of her clothes in front of her boyfriend and reveal her secret, instead they kill him off (he lived in the book version but was in denial about what he saw).

I think the story of the show is pretty awful, at least the changes they made to it. I do like that we've got female werewolves on TV because of this, but it's so far from the source material that it lost a lot of what made the books good. The books had so much more nudity, sex, transformation, but they couldn't do that for this show. They watered it down, changed a huge chunk of the story. I would have preferred a movie adaptation that could have actually shown nudity and would have had more detailed TFs. That was in the works years ago but was scrapped for this thing I guess. It's at least better than the travesty that was the "Blood & Chocolate" movie, so it's got that going for it. It's got full wolf TFs instead of those things in Teen Wolf, so it's got that going for it, and it's got some actual nudity unlike She-Wolf of London, so it's got that going for it. I mean there are a few positive things to take away from it, but.... the story is still fucked and it's still obvious it was fucked because of technical limitations and an unwillingness to show more than an occasional ass (which belongs to a body double in the first place).

Completely agree with that, I couldn't have said it better. About the "hopes", yes, I bet for TF death without showing almost anything. And for not showing too much, I would also put the blame on Ms Vandervoort unwillingness for nudity (yes, she actually DOES for those peta assholes advertisement). Well, we will see what happens in these next two or three episodes.
