There is also Apuleius and 'The Golden Ass' where a young lout of a guy tries a shape shifting spell and gets turned into an ass. Isis intervenes and changes him back in the end. The show has been playing with myths a lot as well, so maybe something along that vein, a Circe perhaps, could be involved. She did have a thing for turning men into animals. A second thing is owls. First season had an owl lamp by Laura's bed, and she wore an owl sweater from time to time, and here there is an owl statue on the table. It's a nice little set continuity, but will it be meaningful?
