1	Unlovable lycanthrope, Stewart Lawrence, needs to find someone to love him to kill him.
2
3	----
4
5	!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
6
7	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: After the werewolf bit Lawrence and took her arm, Barbara shoots herself in the head.
8	* HatedByAll: The only people who ever came close to tolerating Stewart were his now-dead sweetheart Barabara (who was not enjoying their late-night stroll before being attacked by a werewolf who was also Stewart from the future) and Creator/ElkeSommer (who no longer loves him when he rejected her after she became a Were-Lawrence).
9	* NoodleIncident: Polidori tries pitching a creation idea to Victor involving an elaborate gown and hair, only for Victor to shoot it down on account of having done it already (possibly an allusion to [[Film/BrideOfFrankenstein the creation of the Bride]]).
10	* ResurrectiveImmortality: When Victor shoots Lawrence in the head with a silver bullet, he leaves his corpse impaled on the castle gates for many decades before the bullet falls out of the wound in his then fully-decomposed corpse, causing him to regenerate instantly.
11	* RipVanWinkle: When Lawrence goes to Victor for help, he is greeted by Victor’s then-adolescent son. After recovering from a silver bullet many decades later, he is greeted by the same son, now an elderly man.
12	* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Creator/ElkeSommer comes to Frankenstein to make her ugly because her attractiveness has left her unable to trust men who only want her for her body. She ironically gets her wish when Lawrence's hickey turns her into a Were-Lawrence.
13	* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Whenever Lawrence gets aroused, a pencil mustache appears on his face.
14	* StableTimeLoop: Stewarts wishes to go back in time to give Barbara silver bullets so that she can kill the werewolf that killed her and infected him… only for him to turn into a werewolf, bite his past self, and cause Barbara's suicide.
15	* ThreateningShark: Victor and Polidori create a flying shark, only to immediately kill it [[ItAmusedMe for the lulz]].
16	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Victor's son Heinrich. Victor and Polidori thought he was cute at the time, laughing even when he accidentally [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior shoots Polidori with a gun]].
17	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Stewart’s only wish is to die, and the only way he can die is when he is killed with a silver bullet by someone who loves him (and when that happens he no longer wants to die). Unlike most other examples of this, however, his suicidal wish is born more out of guilt of the carnage his werewolf-half causes than any form of ennui.
