Timothy and his human mum Rachel get away, and his uncle Lucas and various other relatives reveal the family secret: they’re skinwalkers like Varek. A hilarious (it’s not meant to be) shoot-out ensues, during which a great many bullets fly to very little effect because everyone is a terrible shot. Varek discovers that Timothy is in a small town called Huguenot, so he and his gang rock up there on their bikes. Varek’s pack like being werewolves, so they’re hunting down Timothy, the prophecy kid, with a view to offing him before he can fulfil his destiny. And straightaway we have our first connection to Sons of Anarchy, barely two years before SOA got started, what with Zo being a tattooed Harley-riding biker with… interesting…hair. He plays Zo, the second-in-command to the chief baddie Varek (Jason Behr, or Him Out Of Roswell).
You get no prizes at all for guessing which faction Kim belongs to. (Come to think of it, it’s sort of like The Lost Boys with werewolves instead of vampires.) And there’s an ongoing struggle between two factions of werewolves - the boring good ones who lock themselves up each month so they don’t hurt anyone, and the infinitely-more-fun evil ones who ride around on motorbikes and eat people. There’s a standard-issue prophecy about a half-breed boy who’ll supposedly end the curse of the skinwalkers on his thirteenth birthday. The titular skinwalkers are, for all intents and purposes, your classic werewolves.
But from the Coates-centric perspective, you can form an interesting connection between Skinwalkers and Sons of Anarchy, if you know where to look…
