Being Human kept chugging along with another solid episode that had me liking Sally's season-long arc for the first time in a while.
For most of the season, I've felt that Sally's reincarnation has been another aimless story that she was stuck in, but I did start warming up to the idea of her as a sentient zombie but I don't know why exactly. I suppose part of it has to do with the fact that characters like Zoe, Nick, and Stevie are being brought back into the fold. Usually, I'm for less characters taking up valuable screen time, but I'm hoping that they'll add some extra layers to what Sally's going through.
While, I liked Sally's story more than I have in the past, Aidan's ongoing feud with Liam once again was the highlight even though it was a little clunky at times. As soon as Aidan was infected, the question of how the writers were going to get themselves out of this corner popped into my head, and for a second I thought they were really going to kill him off which would've been bold. Instead, we got the magically wolf's blood immunization, which felt like a cheat but I was ultimately OK with it. Thankfully, Josh and Nora did most of the heavy lifting, and while I'm glad she made up with Aidan, I liked the idea of him vs. her for the run of the season. And then there was Pete, who could be a nice addition assuming they don't make him a bad guy in the end (resurrected Ray?).
So, "Of Mice and Wolfmen" was not as flawless as previous episodes, but there were enough twists to keep me entertained and it kept the season humming along, so it's all good in the end.
