*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This was the very first episode of Nightingales, it starts when the trio, Sarge, Bell and Carter are welcoming the new boy Eric Swan, he is a bit freaked on his first night but he will get used to it, what the gang don't realise is that Swan has a certain curse, every time there is a full moon he turns into a werewolf. Also they are about to get a visit from a new inspector, that's just the sort of thing they need while Eric is transforming. However things go back to normal {but for how long?} when Eric turns human again and Sarge kills the inspector by hitting him with a hammer.

Funniest Moment: Carter locking Bell into the toilet while Eric turns into a vicious werewolf.
