Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Jake and Silver first meet in this episode, but you can see her at Jake's Halloween bash.

Quotes:

Principal Derceto:I'm sorry Jake. Rose is gone. She transferred out of this school yesterday.
Jake Long:Transfered? Where did she go? I mean, I need to get a hold of her.
Principal Derceto:Well, there's no forwarding address here. Nothing. I'm sorry Jake. She did leave this for you.
Jake Long:[he is handed a picture of them together] But I - she - Aww man!

If you want to say good-bye say it to my human face

Wonderful episode of a wonderful show. This episode was funny and tear jerking. Jake is having problems with Rose after finding out she's Huntsgirl and is doing his best to get over it, but Jake is captured by her to feature in their Grand Equinox Hunt. He and four others escape and in order for them to survive, Jake has to teach them to fight, but Jake is recaptured and they have to rescue their leader. In the end, Rose gets Jake tied to a tree and goes in for the kill when Jake changes into his human form and Rose frees him and flees. The ending is sad with Rose transferring schools, but she'll be back. This is a great episode, but just like the Ski Trip episode, Disney Channel is showing it too much.
