Meanwhile, it turns out that her classmate Whitney may not be the BFF Brielle was hoping for - but that's the least of her concerns as she discovers that her powers come with a dangerous hunger! And the Daywalker himself arrives on the scene at the worst possible time! Plus: Brielle has a ghostly encounter on Halloween!
