Derek was listening to the whole conversation Scott was having with the Argent couple. Derek was disgusted at the tone of Victoria and didn't want to do anything to help her. But a part of him knew that Scott would get them convinced that they can help them. In those tense moments he remembered what he told Scott in the woods on his first full moon. He said that they were brothers after he rescued Scott from the hunters. It was time he acted like one and protected and helped with his situation. Although he did not trust the Argents, he definitely wanted Scott to help them and show them that werewolves were different and not all werewolves were harmful.
Suddenly A phone rang in his car. It was Scott's phone and Stiles was giving him a call to know the status of his situation. His best friend had almost died last night. Derek answered the phone and explained to him the situation.
"He is trying to help Victoria and Chris." Derek said in a stern voice.
"Wha- is he out of his mind? You are telling me that he just healed and he is standing at the door of Allison's sick ass grandfather who is going to try to murder him again in minutes? Has he lost his mind? And by the way what are you doing there, go and stop him." As soon as Stiles finished speaking, Derek told him that he agrees with Scott and hangs up the phone after telling him to take Isaac, Erica and Boyd with him and meet him at his old house.
Stiles was in shock as to why his best friend was trying to get murdered again when he had just recovered from a very serious problem. He told Erica and Isaac what Derek had told him and asked them to find Boyd. All four of them then got in Stiles' jeep and continued towards the burned down Hale house.
At Scott's words rang a bell in Chris' ears, Victoria was in shock as to why this kid wanted to help her. She had tried to kill him last night. If it wasn't for Derek he would have died and she would have lived longer than just a few more days. But now the scenarios were interchanged. She was going to die and this boy would have lived without him being part of the reason for her death since it was her own actiln that brought it upon her.
Unknown to any of them Allison was listening to their conversation while hiding. She was shocked to hear that her mother had tried to murder her boyfriend and was dying herself and that her dad was okay with all of it. What she didn't know was that Chris was already torn apart by Gerard's intentions of killing his wife. She jumped in the conversation with a look of anger on her face.
"You tried to murder him for dating me? What are you both, psychopaths?" She looked at her parents in anger "I still love him and yes, I still date him. So what are going to try it again? Murdering him? I grew up thinking that i had this perfect family- a loving father, a caring mother and a friendly aunt- but all of it vanished right now in a matter of minutes. I don't know what to say about it but I sure am angry as hell and as much I might hate you both for trying to murder my boyfriend I don't my mom to die." At sudden words from behind Scott, Chris and Victoria were in shock that she heard their conversation. Chris and Victoria were further taken aback when they heard their daughter say that she hated them.
Then they decided to take the conversation to somewhere more private and talk freely instead of the open. As Chris approached the garage, his eyes fell on Derek Hale. Instantly anger grew in him. He looked at Scott holding Allison's hand and remembered the day that he had threatened Scott at gunpoint when he found him making out with his daughter at the riverside. He thought that he might have been wrong about the boy but why was this boy working with Derek Hale. He knew something was up and he decided whatever happens he would investigate this boy's connection to Derek and why was he still with him.
They decided to go in the woods where no one would know what there conversation would be and they rolled out with Chris and Victoria in Chris' SUV, Allison in her own car with Scott, which her parents did not like, and Derek following behind them.
The drive to woods was tense. Chris and Victoria discussed her actions last night and Chris said that she shouldn't have tried to kill the boy to which Victoria defended her actions saying that he touched their daughter and she could not have let that happen. Chris agreed to those words but said that the boy was innocent and that he did not kill anyone and protected them when Peter was going to murder him and Allison. He did not approve of him with his daughter but the boy never broke the code and that gave him the right to live.
Allison and Scott were discussing her actions moments ago. " What if they had killed you? I could not have lived without you" Allison said with tears in her voice. "I would have happily died if it meant protecting you." Scott said. Scott looked at her while driving and kept remembering what he had said to her at the rave. "Allison" he began "I wanted to apologize for talking to you so rudely at the rave. But I kept thinking what if you were caught in the middle of all this mess and something would have happened to you? I would have died if I lost you." He said without taking a single breathe. Allison looked at him and smiled "you don't have to apologize. I know what you were thinking and I am not at all angry. I know you would do anything to protect me and I care about you just as much." As they finished talking, they reached the woods. All of them exited the car. Scott noticed that Chris had a gun in his hand and that Derek was already toying with his claws.
He jumped in quickly as he could and stopped them before they killed each other. Then he looked at both of them, now full wolfed out and said "if either of try anything unnecessary while we head towards the Hale house, I swear I am going to do whatever I can to kill both of you even if it kills me in the process. We are here to help each other and I want all of you to know what Gerard has in mind."
At the mention of the veteran hunter, both Derek and Chris dropped their weapons. Anger grew in both of them but they knew that Gerard was planning something and they had to know it to stop him. They realized that Scott knew something about Gerard that they did not and it would be necessary to know it. Derek considered this a win-win situation. If he knew about Gerard's plan and he had Chris to help him, he could stop both Gerard and the Kanima. Also if Victoria was in his pack Chris would have to kill her as well if he wanted to kill werewolves.
As they reached Hale house, they saw Stiles, Isaac and the others waiting for them. Stiles was shocked to Allison holding Scott's hand in front her parents. They explained everything to them and Scoot asked all of them to remain as calm as one can be, especially Derek and Chris. As soon as they were all paying attention to him Scott began
"Gerard is suffering from cancer and wants the bite. He wants to become a werewolf, Alpha even at that, and cure his cancer. He threatened me with my mother's life to get me to do it and that is why i joined your pack Derek." Derek looked offended and Chris was clearly very angry at thought that his father who would murder every other werewolf wanted to become one to cure his health. He also remembered his father saying that Chris had to help his wife die since he would not have the Argent name tainted with an Argent werewolf. Scott began again "Derek I am sorry for doing this to you but I had no choice. I hope you understand how much a son loves his mother." Derek remembered his past moments with his mother and smiled "I understand but I am still very angry that you did not tell me about it. I told you we are brothers on your first full moon and now I am going to act like one."
Chris looked at his wife and saw that she was feeling guilty for trying to murder this innocent boy. She tried to kill him and yet he was trying to protect her and her family from the psychopath that lived in her house. "Scott I am sorry that we both tried to murder you many times but we just could not concile with the image of a werewolf that we saw in you and when we saw you touch our daughter. We are very about our actions, specially my action from last night." Victoria said while she tried to repress her emotions of anger on Gerard. Chris nodded to her statement and said "yes we are sorry and we approve of your relationship with our daughter. But just so you know you are not allowed to get cozy with each other in front of us." He tried to lighten up the mood.
"So what is the plan?" Asked Isaac
"We wait for him to make the move. Now that we know about his plan we can focus on the Kanima problem at hand and find who is the master of Kanima." Suggested Derek
"I agree but we need to be careful of Gerard. That man is a snake and what I saw that night in the alley, I could not wrap my mind around the interaction between Gerard and Kanima." Chris said as his eyes fell on Allison "also Allison is staying away from this fight. I hope you don't want your girlfriend to get hurt Mccall." Allison looked at her father and said " dad I am not staying away. I can defend myself and make my own decisions. I don't want anyone to protect me and I will fight to protect my family and my friends. That's why you have been training me, haven't you? So let me fight." Allison said, resolve clear in her voice as she looked at Scott
"Also, I would like Mrs. Argent to commit a fake suicide and remain hidden and keep training to control her shift with Derek and Chris. This will prevent Gerard from killing you or using you as a weapon against us." Scott said with command in his voice
"And how are we supposed to lower her heart rate and breathing to make it look like an actual suicide?" Chris asked him, thinking that he would have to train the very same thing that he was trained to destroy. "I can help with that." As they turned to face the voice, they saw Dr. Deaton and Ms. Morrell standing in front of them. "I can help you in committing a fake suicide as you all might know that I am not just a veterinarian." He said as if it was clear to all of them what he was.
