Wolf Like Me Season 2 Episode 5 Recap

Homeless man Dan Wyllie Wolf Like Me Peacock

The episode opens with Gary (Josh Gad) staring at the “F**K ROOM” door. Mary (Isla Fisher) emerges with blood around her mouth. Seconds later, Anton (Edgar Ramirez) emerges feeling more relaxed than ever. Gary grabs him around the neck and drags him to the door where he struggles with the lock. Anton offers to open it for him but Gary elbows him before throwing him outside. Anton knocks on the door asking for his jacket. While Gary retrieves his jacket, Anton asks Mary to visit him at the Oskar Hotel.

Gary confronts Mary about her former relationship with Anton. She admits to sleeping with him while mourning David. He accuses her of having sex with Anton, both in their wolf form. Upset, she voices concern about their unborn baby before claiming to be disgusted by her actions. He claims to have seen them having sex multiple times before splitting a live chicken. He tells her that they woke up and started at it again. She says he made it up. He believes Anton’s return and her having sex with them is the universe trying to tear them apart. She announces her plan to wash the wolf semen out in the shower to keep their baby from contracting an STD. En route to his car, Gary snatches the newspaper from the delivery kid (Mason Mansour) and tosses it across the road. He nearly hits a man (Dale March) pushing a baby stroller across the street. The hysterical mum (Melanie Koolmatrie) scolds him. He continues to drive erratically until he crashes into a homeless man’s (Dan Wyllie) bugging. Stopping, he rushes back to check on the man to remember Emma (Ariel Donoghue) gave him her lunch, which he attributes to his meeting Mary.

Later, Gary shops with the homeless man who is caught stealing. The man yells for Gary to run. They both rush out the door with a cart of groceries. Olivia (Honour Latukefu) alerts Ray (Anthony Taufa) that it is Gary. They watch as an excited Gary and a homeless man run down the sidewalk. Later at a diner, Gary tells the homeless man how Anton showed up at Mary’s baby shower. He says Mary is lying about not remembering what happens in her wolf form. He claims Mary tried to kill him when she escaped the basement. The homeless man asks if he was scared because dogs sense fear when a commuter bus. Staring at the poster of two women, he says the black-haired lady likes the red-haired lady. Gary turns as the bus pulls away.

Oskar Hotel – Anton claims to have been looking for Mary. She reminds him of the last time they saw each other 12 years ago. He stresses the need to have a partner. She says he has children and a family. He denies seeing his children in Chicago before saying there are “wild animals”. She tells him that Gary and Emma depend on her before announcing her unborn baby is human. He asks if there is proof. She demands he stay away from her and her family. Later, Mary sits in her Jeep listening to “Here Comes The Sun” by the Beatles while watching a red-haired toddler (Zachary Coates) excitedly run to his mum.

Anton is at the front desk when Gary bursts in demanding he check out. The hotel clerk (Robin Goldsworthy) tallies up his bill. Anton tells Gary that Mary told him to leave. Gary accuses him of having sex with Mary in the safe room. Stunned, Anton denies any knowledge of what happens in his wolf form. He says the only evidence is the carnage of what happened from dusk to dawn. He questions why they in wolf form decided to have sex. He admits to being confused as to why Mary chooses to be with him. Anton warns that he will never satisfy Mary if he fears nature. Gary explains how Mary is “home”. He says the homeless man claims to have seen Lisa approve of Mary. The homeless man tells him that it wasn’t a sign but an ad on a commuter bus before denying Emma gave him sandwiches. Gary professes to love Mary.

Mary praises Gary for taking such good care of her. After giving up on the universe, he says all that matters is his love for her. He places a ring on her finger when Emma asks about their date night. Gary says, “Great” as the episode ends.

 

Wolf Like Me Review

The episode brings back the feel of season one. It reveals how much Mary and Gary mean to each other. Instead of injecting outsiders into their relationship, it focuses on just the two of them, with the exception of Anton. Gary comes to terms with Mary’s wolf idiosyncrasies, instead of debunking them, he starts accepting them.

Good to see Dan Wyllie (Rake, Gallipoli, Romper Stomper, and Underbelly: Squizzy) perform again. A fantastic, diverse actor with boatloads of charisma, energy, and spirit. Would love to see more of him.

The episode deserves a 7. Get more Wolf Like Me recaps here. Support Reel Mockery by donating. Our onsite advertising builds brand awareness, click the link to learn more. Join our forum to discuss the latest celebrity, movie, and TV show news.
