(Another day has passed, and it is night time. It appears to be a half moon, as the moonlight shines down onto area. The area is, ironically, Hale House. We see a number of individuals passing by, a few government officials, and a few construction workers. All, but two of the men leave the area and there appears to be construction equipment laid around the house. One of them appears older, the other younger)
Man 1: "So, what are we going to be doing exactly here? This house got burnt down, what, 6 years ago, right?"
Man 2: "Yeah. Was given a picture of what it originally looked like and I was thinking that we should restore the house to its former glory. It was beautiful, and at least that we can make some money off this place."
Man 1: "Yeah? I never saw that picture."(Man 2 then takes from his coat pocket a picture, showing it to the construction worker.) "This was it."
Man 1: (Eyes the picture, whistling) "Damn, these people must have been loaded...Holy..."
Man 2: "Yeah seems that way. But, it's getting late. I'm just glad we were able to get some of the supplies here, and we'll bring the rest in the morning so we don't make two trips. See you tomorrow." (Man 2 walks away, waving, leaving the construction worker alone. The construction worker looks at the house, whistles again and before you know it, sticks rumble and break from behind him near the trees. The construction worker turns around, but then hears more noise this time from his side. He begins looking scared, and takes out a pocket knife that is obviously used with his job. More and more bushes are being rumbled and then a large foxlike creature jumps at the man.)
(The foxlike creature is the same as the one from the previous episode, and what we notice is that the construction worker appears mid-thirties as it zooms in close to his face. The small howl it makes is enough to send chills down the spine of the individual and it rakes its claws into the man's chest, bloodying him and killing him. We then see through the eyes of the foxlike creature and it is an orange color, and we see that the marks it made on the man's chest were that of an 'X', three on each side. It turns and out comes the dark figure from last episode, its green eyes burning brighter and from the creatures eyes, we do in fact see the ears of the dark figure resembles that of a werewolf's. They tackle and roll along the ground, down a hill. The creature this time bests him, and it is atop him. It prepares to strike but then runs off when it sees flash lights around it. The dark figure sees the lights as well, and runs off. We then see a group of 5 Asians appear with swords and bows, one a very beautiful female, holding a crossbow and a knife. Elsewhere, we see a FJ Cruiser drive past the high school and towards the animal clinic)
-END SCENE-
(The scene opens with Deaton putting a dog back into its cage, and suddenly Deaton picks his head up as he hears the front door open. Deaton walks to the waiting room.)
Deaton: "I wasn't expecting you to be back in town this soon. I'm guessing you found what you were looking for?"
Derek: "I found exactly what I was looking for. I know you were emissary to my mother, and came to see if you still uphold the promise you made to her."
Deaton "I've been waiting a long time to fulfill my promise." (Deaton opens the gate breaking the mountain ash seal)
Deaton: "There are a few things we need to discuss."
Derek: (Nods and walks through the gate as they head to the back)
Deaton: "You must know about the history of your family? What they mean to Beacon Hills?"
Derek: "We were sort of like its guardians."
Deaton: "Right, protectors of this place. What did you go find?"
Derek: "Cora and I went to get a book, a book that contained not everything, but some of what my family has done in South America."
Deaton: "So where is she now?"
Derek: "Still there…recovering from her wounds and from the healing. The people there know her, and our family, very well, but she'll be back."
Deaton: "Judging from everything thus far, Cora must have mentioned this to you privately and it comes off like you want to restore your family to the way it was before..."
Derek: "Yes…and I need help with that. I know I have a long way to go…and I don't want to be selfish anymore."
Deaton: "This means listening to what I have to say and not trusting Peter."
Derek: "I get it."
(The scene then shifts to the school, where Scott is walking by Stiles. Stiles' eyes seem a little darker, with that tired look most have, as if he couldn't sleep, Scott looks at him then.)
Scott: "You okay dude? You look exhausted."
Stiles: "I am...haven't been sleeping right since the sacrifices…but anyways..."
Scott: "Gotta try to get more sleep...especially now with something on the loose. I need you, bro."
Stiles: "I'll try...so I was thinking about what Deaton said...this Dire Werewolf..."
Scott: "What about it?"
Stiles: "So if it's supposed to protect nature, can we assume it's good? And, can they use Druid like stuff like Mountain Ash?"
Scott: "It helped me, so I want to say it's good...If it's trying to stop that thing, we should try to help him." (As they walk inside the school, they see several new Asian students, one of them eyeing Scott, smiling up at him and Scott looks surprised but a smile on his face)
(This young female approaches Scott and Stiles, smiling and then looks up to Scott) Asian Girl: "Hi there, handsome. Do you know where Economics 301 is?"
Scott: "H-hey...yeah that's right down there. (Points to all the way across the hall) On your left..." (The girl smiles and waves back) "Thank you...and my name is Kira."
(Scene shifts to Economics where Danny, Stiles, Scott are along with Kira and a new young man seated at their desks, with Coach standing up)
Coach: "Alright, guys. We have this scale here. What does a scale generally do? Don't be so excited, Greenburg. Put your hand down. You look like a moron." (Coach is seen placing a weight scale, the typical one that appears like a seesaw almost. There are two metal ends, and right it's in the middle.) "Owen, what's it do?"
Owen: (The new kid who is seated in the back, in a way to signify his status of not belonging anywhere, looks up at coach) "Keep things in alignment, like balance."
Coach: "Exactly, and this has to do with us, because...?" (As Coach is talking, we see Kira slip a note to Scott, Scott is seated behind her and Stiles on the side of Scott. Stiles looks dumb founded and that smirk on his face, even though he looks exhausted. Scott opens it up to read it and Stiles can as well, since he put it a little to his right for Stiles to see. The note states 'U know, ur pretty cute. Thx for the help b4.' Scott and Stiles smirk at this, as Scott in a way sees this as a way to move on from Allison. When Scott goes to write back, Coach then says) "MCCALL! Balance to Economics means WHAT?"
Scott: (Just then as Scott is at a loss, Danny's books collapse onto the floor and Scott then realizes what he is looking for, to shut Coach up) "Prevents things from collapsing."
Coach: "Exactly...good job, McCall. I like this." (He states, referencing how Scott's become a better student, and Scott takes pride in that and as Danny grabs his book, Scott whispers 'THANK YOU'. Danny looks confused as to why.)
Coach: "And balance means that there are always two sides of things, some things we can't see, other things we can see. One side can't outweigh the other side, you understand?"
Danny: "Then, it will fail?"
Coach: "Yeah, exactly, it will fail. Lemme give an example. Lacrosse. We have good players, but what happens if the good player gets hurt and the backup is Greenburg, who is just awful?"
Kira: "You will lose, or fail."
Coach: "That's right."
(As Kira says what she says, she turns around and looks to Scott, as if it was a premonition to something later on. Scott watches her, a little surprised at her reaction and why she looked at him and Stiles looking confused, too. Scott takes what Coach says and before he can wrap it around his head to compare it to his own situation, the bell rings and class ends. Everyone is seen leaving, as Scott and Stiles are the last to leave.)
Stiles: "What was that all about with..." (Stiles points at her using his head)
Scott: "I don't know…"
(When they go to turn, a young Asian girl bumps into Scott, saying 'Excuse Me', walking on and we see Scott and Stiles looking at her. Scott and Stiles walk away afterwards and then it zooms into something that was left on the floor, a red cotton like fur is seen on the floor)
(The scene then shifts to the Hale House area. The deputy, Joshua, is there already processing the crime scene. There are several people around to help, a CSI person, people from the hospital and then we see the Sheriff come up to Joshua. Joshua with notebook in hand, begins to explain to the Sheriff)
Joshua: "Happened last night, sir. From what we understand, this was a construction worker and he spoke with a member of the state about rebuilding this house." (Joshua points to the other man from earlier in the episode.)
Sheriff: "This is the second body in 24 hours….cause of death?"
Joshua: "Appears to be an animal attack, sir. I've never seen such claw marks buried within someone, look at this." (He leads the Sheriff to the body and points out the distinct pattern of the three claw marks on either side of his chest, formed in an 'X' manner.)
Sheriff: "An X mark…Typically means 'wrong'."
Joshua: "It's clear it's an animal attack…is this mark a symbol of the type of animal, you think?"
Sheriff: "Maybe…maybe…"
(The man from earlier walks up to Sheriff)
Man: "What the HELL is going on! Do you think this thing could have escaped from the zoo or a wild animal!?"
Sheriff: "Calm down, sir. What's your name?"
Maverick: "Maverick, my name's Maverick." (Runs a hand through his hair)
Sheriff: "Well, Maverick, rest assured we will have this under control."
Agent McCall: "Is that so? Well, you better hurry up and find this animal. He has a right to be angry and concerned."
(Just then Agent McCall walks forward from the back, getting his notes about the situation)
Sheriff: "We're doing what we can."
Agent McCall: "Oh really? How many more have to fall victim?"
Joshua: "With all due respect, I think you picking a fight out here in the open is rather childish, Mr. McCall. If you want to get into this at the station with us, feel free to come by, but don't you DARE try to accuse this man of not doing all he can, or don't you DARE question the legitimacy of this sheriff's office, 'Big Brother'."
(Just then the Sheriff looks at Joshua, surprised, surprised as he's never seen the young man rattled before, and a small smirk appears on his face and with Agent McCall looking surprised and embarrassed, especially by a rookie officer.)
Agent McCall: "You know what; I think I will young man."
(And with that, he leaves and when Joshua and the Sheriff turn around to address Maverick, he is gone, just like that)
Sheriff: "…Thanks, Josh. Really, I could have handled him but…thanks that showed real guts. But, where did that Maverick guy go?"
Joshua: "You're welcome sir…and I don't know…"
(The scene then shifts to Allison and Isaac, in Allison's home. Both are seen in Allison's room, the lights are out, and Allison is lying down. They are making out, and we see Isaac kissing down her neck and he is all excited.)
Allison: "You sure we should be doing this?"
Isaac: "Yeah, I do."
Allison: "What about Scott? Is he fine with it?"
Isaac: "Yeah, of course."
Allison: "Really?"
Isaac: "Yeah, really!"
(And suddenly, we see Isaac being choked by Kate, a garrote around his neck)
Kate: "That's right, Allison. Get him vulnerable; use your beauty to your advantage, just like I did. You have to avenge me…"
Allison: (Gasping, sitting up, laying back against her bed)
Kate: "What's the matter, Allison? Cat got your tongue? Surprised to see me? C'mon, you're just like me, Allison…you know it…you hate them all…"
(Kate applies more pressure to Isaac then and Allison looks worried)
Allison: "No, I don't!"
Kate: "You do…."
(And with that, Kate applies more pressure again and Isaac falls down and Allison screams. Kate vanishes, and Allison wakes up from a nightmare. She goes to check Isaac, who is on the bed, and he is alive. She realizes she has one of her Chinese ring daggers in her hands. She begins pondering…was that the darkness that Deaton alluded to?)
(Scene shifts to Deaton and Derek still at the clinic, they are talking.)
Deaton: "Cora was sick, from what Scott had told me."
Derek: "Yeah, from mistletoe."
Deaton: "So, how did you save her?"
Derek: "I healed her completely…using the extra part of what made me an Alpha, my spark. And as a result…" (Eyes glow blue in front of Deaton)
Deaton: "I see you've learned to put others before yourself. That's what real leaders do, Derek."
Derek: (Looks up at him, still waiting for him to say more, a look of sadness in his eyes, like finally recognizing he did something right.)
Deaton: "What that did was cause the Hale Alpha spark to be in a loop. It didn't just go away because of the way it faded. Had you died, it would be one thing but you did not. You used up all of its power…but it is still there. It's between you and Peter."
Derek: "What do you mean?"
Deaton: "When you used up all of your power, your Alpha Status was taken as a result because of it. There is always an Alpha to a pack, especially a born werewolf pack. You, Cora, and Peter were all born. Scott may be an Alpha, but has his own pack. You are different because you came from one. Because Peter is older than you, the power is slowly going to him."
Derek: "Do you know if…" (Derek looks worried, like he's already lost)
Deaton: "I don't know. But, I can tell you one thing. If he is, he will tarnish your family's name. Your mother often worried about him, because he did whatever it took. And I mean whatever. The man has no soul to speak of, and often manipulates people to make him seem like he is right and never wrong. You can't let him be Alpha again...he will kill anyone who gets in his way. As you are now, you will need help. You have to ask yourself: Is this what I want? Are you willing to start over and swallow your pride for help?"
-SCENE ENDS-
(Scene shifts to Lydia and the twins. Lydia appears to be in a trance, and the twins are following her. It is now evening, and Lydia is in the woods near Hale House.)
Ethan: "Well, she said for us to follow her when she got into a trance…"
Aiden: "I guess this qualifies as a trance, then…"
(Lydia suddenly blinks several times, and they are exactly where the body was found. Although, a little late, but she is being drawn here.)
Lydia: "What just happened?"
Aiden: "You got into a trance, so we followed you, like you said."
Ethan: "And we're in the woods."
Lydia: "…Oh god…Hale House…"
Ethan: "Yeah, we're here."
Lydia: "How do you know this place?"
Aiden: "When Deucalion took away the memories of Erica and Boyd and Isaac. They were shown here. Deucalion told us, and we learned about what happened before we got here."
Lydia: "A werewolf can steal memories…..from that far back?"
Ethan: "Yes. Mainly Alphas do it."
Lydia: "I see…" (As she twirls her hair around her finger)
(When she says that, she turns around to see a pair of orange eyes by the house, and a growling sound. Ethan and Aiden turn to see it, extend their claws and their eyes glow yellow, signifying their Alpha Status is gone because of their merged form's death. Lydia takes out her phone and we see that she is texting Scott. 'Near Hale House…with twins...HELP' )
(The scene shifts to Stiles, Scott and the Sheriff. They're at Stiles' house, for once. They're talking and discussing the events from today and yesterday)
Sheriff: "Stiles, what the hell is going on?"
Stiles: "Well, y'see Dad, things are getting freaky again 'cause we were surrogate sacrifices to find out where you were being hidden…"
Sheriff: "So, what, this is like a monster or something?"
Scott: "A shape shifter, yes…I think so."
Sheriff: "A shape what? Something like you?" (Points at Scott)
Stiles: "Dad, shape shifter. Something that changes its shape, yeah similar to Scott. Except, seems to me werewolves are the most normal-looking shape shifters…"
Sheriff: "Got that right….so, like, Guns? Bullets? Arrows? Fairy Dust?"
Scott: "I guess that depends on what we're dealing with…"
(As Scott says that, his phone goes off. He reads the text then looks up at Stiles and the Sheriff)
Scott: "I gotta go…Lydia needs help."
Stiles: "Wait, what?! What's going on?!"
Sheriff: "Yeah, we're coming with you!"
Scott: "No, you guys have to stay here and try to think of what this thing is. I'll call if I'm in trouble."
(And with that Scott, doesn't let them get a word in edge wise and leaves. A motorcycle is heard as it takes off into the night and the Sheriff and Stiles look at each other)
Stiles: "Damn it, Scott…"
Sheriff: "He'll be alright, Stiles. He'll call us."
Stiles: "But, Dad, he isn't superman, he can't do everything."
Sheriff: "We have our job; we have to stick to it, alright? Now, I need your help since you're more familiar then this then I am…all I can tell you are my interpretations and make you think."
Stiles: (Sighs and nods his head, as they go to a mini chart the Sheriff already set up)
(The scene then shifts to Aiden jumping off of Ethan's back and trying to slash down at the creature. The creature just jumps out of the way. It's agile and then roars at the twins, while Lydia is hiding behind a tree. Its roar is ( watch?v=ZfNiJqFNhF0) loud and fierce but the twins aren't intimidated. We can see the face of the creature and it is humanoid in a way. Its nose is round, and ears are pointy but smaller than those of werewolves. We also see that the hair is wild, long, and its face appears feminine but is orange, with some red lines along its cheeks and we see the two fox tails. The twins go to engage, but then a flash bang arrow interrupts, and the twins raise their arms to block their eyes and the creature runs off. With the flash we see that its fur is red on its back and the tails as well. The group of hunters from earlier in the episode arrives and the twins quickly begin to run off. They begin shooting at them with their bullets, but they manage to get out of the way. The young girl from earlier with a bow in hand, closes one eye to aim, but then it gets shot out of her hand by Chris and his handgun. All the hunters turn to him, weapons pointed at him.)
Kira: "What the hell was that all about?" (Kira says, picking up her bow, walking up to Chris)
Chris: "Listen, I don't know who you are, but I was also a Hunter. We don't kill unless we know human blood's been spilled."
Kira: "It was too dangerous for us to not try to kill it. And those others there-if they get in the way..." (Draws empty bow and points it at Aiden)
Chris: "No, that's wrong. They were just defending themselves and it hasn't been proven they've spilled human blood."
Kira: "Tell you what. You get in the way again, you're next"
(Kira walks past Chris, and the others follow suit, all of them with a dirty look on their face towards him)
(The scene goes to Scott on his bike as he had parked his bike at the woods. He begins to run through the woods, trying desperately to find Lydia and the twins. But, during running, he trips over some sticks and he falls on his knees. He begins to punch the ground, frustrated and when he turns up he sees Deucalion is in front of him, with his dark glasses and all)
Deucalion: "Yes, Scott, I'm here. I'm here for you, Scott, to show you how to become just like me."
Scott: "I'm not like you. I don't have to kill people..." (Scott says warily, backing up)
Deucalion: "Oh, but you are. You're an Alpha now. You will kill people."
Scott: "No…no, I won't…"
Deucalion: "Oh, you will…if you want to protect the people you love. Or people will come for them."
(Scott backs up into a tree, beginning to fall down onto it, as Deucalion creeps closer)
Deucalion: "Let me help you, Scott. Let me show you how to become the Alpha you're meant to be…a killer…" (Deucalion's voice changes during this dialogue to his wolf form's dialogue.)
Scott: "NO!" (Scott yells, his hands going over his head) "What if I can't help? What if I let everyone down?" (Scott feels the emptiness inside of him…as these thoughts go through his head. But, just then a claw is on Scott's head and a voice comes from the person there)
Dire Wolf: "Believe in yourself. Become the Alpha you are meant to be. Become a real leader..."
(The voice of the Dire Wolf is kind, but deep. Scott's eyes glow red, as the Dire Werewolf steadily backs away into the shadows, but its green eyes are visible, and partial features are seen like its ears and claws. Scott gets up.)
Scott: "I-it's you…what happened?"
Dire Wolf: "The darkness. It's overwhelmed you, along with the creature's ability to create illusions, made you go into that state."
Scott: "You helped me again…why?"
Dire Wolf: "Because you still have much to learn. The animals here tell me you wish to protect this place. I protect all of this."
Scott: "Then, you must know what that thing is that's killing people."
Dire Wolf: "Yes, I do."
Scott: "What is it?"
Dire Wolf: "I can't tell you. You need to figure that out on your own."
Scott: "But, why?!"
Dire Wolf: "You're an Alpha, Scott. Alpha's do not get their answers from people; they get it on their own and use their resources and packs to their full advantage."
Scott: "…Can I trust you?" (Scott then suddenly realizes he knows his own name) "And how do you know my name?!"
Dire: "I know more about you then you think. When there's a new Alpha in town, people take notice. And if you're asking me if I'm an enemy, then no, I am not. I will help you when I can and will try to do this on my own."
Scott: "We could work together."
Dire Wolf: "Apologies, but you are a new Alpha and I work alone these days. In time, I'll reveal myself to you. You do your part and protect your pack and the people here…"
(And with that the Dire Wolf runs off, and Scott is left there, in a way saddened because this new person helped him, but didn't help him. He would on his own accord be revealed…)
