Someone comes along and knocks down Brain and it sounds like hurt the camera. Michael stands up to the guy and calls him a name. Next, the girl shoots some footage of a crime scene where someone was murdered on campus. Meanwhile, we see Sam and Dean arrive at the scene. Brain calls them “Starsky and Hutch," while Michael comes up with "Rizzoli and Isles." Agents Rose and Hudson, Sam and Dean, learn about Jacob Carter who was attacked. The upstairs neighbor heard the attack and found the body. She heard a growl.
Michael has loaded "What's The Matter" on his iPod. They see Sam and Dean again. Sam doesn't think that there's a case here. Michael thinks they are having a workplace romance. They see the guy from earlier, Scottie, and he making out with a girl against some bleachers. He's very aggressive and she pushes him away. They knock over a trash can and get chased. The camera is filming in night vision mode, and soon growling is heard. Micheal is pulled up a tree. Brain finds Michael who is bloodied but still alive. Kate is still at the the apartment. They know that something bit Michael. There's lots of blood, but the bite is gone. Kate calls 911 but doesn't say anything.
Brain mentions that the doctor said he'd be fine. Michael has great power, and he pulls the door off. He holds Kate up with one hand. She suggest him getting bit by an alien. Brain suggest a mutant. Michael asks if he's a super hero now.
Brain thinks that he's finally found his movie. Michael's origin story. He sets up camera everywhere to film that. Brain soon confesses that he wants to be bitten as well so he can do what Michael does. Michael wants nothing to do with that. Brain doesn't want to be Piggy anymore.
Later someone comes to the door, and Kate and Michael make Brain answer the door, and it's the FBI agents Rose and Hudson. They ask the standard questions. Did they know the victim? Did they notice anything unusual? Anyone getting bit? Sam leaves his card and instructs him to call them. Sam and Dean go outside and continued to theorize another Mayan god? Is Michael an X-File? Kate plays them the video and of Sam and Dean and Michael thinks he's a god now.
Michael wakes up in the middle of the night and looks in the mirror and we see him transforming into a werewolf. He doesn't hurt Kate. Then we cut to him eating and drinking a lot in the kitchen.
We are now shown video from four frat boys who were patrolling for the wild animal that killed someone. Micheal disappears and is seen running away. They follow him into the woods. Scottie talks trash about Kate, and then hears growling. Michael attacks him.

Scott Parker's body attracts Sam and Dean. The heart was ripped out and eaten mostly. Brain confronts Michael about eating his heart. Kate says this was self defense. Michael punches him across the room. Michael is then crying in bed. Brain survived. He wants to call the police. She just wants answers. They follow Sam and Dean to the coroners. The coroner says that it appears to be animal attack, but the largest animal on record is a raccoon. There was a similar case about 10 years ago.

Brain confronts one of the professors and says he knows what he is.
Michael is at home. "Barricades" by The Outdoors is playing in the background.
Kate and Michael are planning to leave. Brian says that he took care of it. He confronted the professor and about being a werewolf. He openly asks him to turn him into a werewolf. Brain has a sliver knife. He is right. The professor admits to eating human hearts, but he had controlled the hunger for a long time, before he fell off the wagon. He ate animal hearts instead. He ate Carter because he was weak. Brain tells the prof that the hunters are here. Brain figured he needed a patsy. Brain is sick of being Piggy, he wants to be Ralph.

Kate is very angry. Brain wants to bite her and turn her. He bites her. Kate is upset as she should be. Kate breaks the bathroom to pieces. She seems happier and comes out. She then attacks and kill Brain. Kate finishes the movie, and she doesn't understand all that happens. Michael and the rest weren't always monsters. Kate leaves and says that they'll never hear from her again. She says I've never hurt anyone, no one human anyway. The end of the movie.
Sam and Dean continue to look around the rest of the opening credits running now, which is odd. Dean says they should give her a shot. Sam grabs the hard drive. Dean asks if he really says awesome a lot.
