On a whim visit, Ash sees Morrigan (the female taltos) and Morrigan catches his scent, and they immediately run away together, leaving Rowan and Michael standing, the only ones who understand, and Mona screaming through her tears for her daughter. What I do know is it left me frustrated for a chunk of the pilot being led down the completely wrong path.
