Scarlet's parents reveal that they're werewolf hunters. When they catch the elusive pink poodle (aka Freddy), Scarlet's commitment to the cause is tested, and the Howlington kids have to rescue him from the hunters' den.

Desperate to get back into Howlington, Freddy enlists the help of a much-changed Principal Pincus, while Ric proves himself an unorthodox replacement principal at Howlington.
