In the school showers, Deaton was trying to remove the Nogitsune flies from the werewolves' bodies, "Hold still." Deaton directed to Aiden. It was not an easy process considering how Aiden was fighting with Deaton completely, "Don't fight it." Peter ordered as well. He was trying to hold Aiden in place, but as expected the werewolf fought against him.

"Kinda hard to do when someone's hand is being shoved down your throat." Isaac said with some attitude.

"Isaac," Deaton told him, just as Aiden managed to throw-up the fly, "You're next."

"I'm aware." Isaac told them. His eyes still glowed the beta yellow as he was still trying to fight off the Nogitsune's compulsion. Deaton had finally gotten the fly out of Aiden and signaled Issac to stand in the shower. He stood in between Deaton and Peter nervously, "All right?"

Without a warning, Deaton stuck his hand down his throat repeating the same process with him, only problem was Isaac was more of a fighter than Aiden, "Isaac, stay still." Peter growled at him. The beta only growled in response as his eye continued to glow the yellow.

"Almost there." Deaton told him, "Got it." Deaton shared as he removed his hand from Isaac's mouth. Isaac went into a coughing fit just as the twins did.

"Are they okay now?" Peter asked Deaton.

"I hope so." Deaton told him, "The part that's worrisome, is that this was most likely just a distraction for what was happening to Stiles."

"There's really two of them now?" Ethan asked with disbelief.

"How's that even possible?" Isaac wondered.

"And how did the other one just take Landon?" Aiden questioned.

"When we turned around and they were gone." Deaton explained to the wolves, "So was his car."

"So no one notices her just kidnapping him right out of the house?"

"Most of us were concentrating on the bizarre sight of a creature, materializing from out of the floor." Peter told them.

"Hold on." Isaac interrupted them, "How are you so sure which Stiles is which?"

"That's what they're trying to figure out now."

"Well..." Melissa McCall said, while examining Stiles on Scott's bed, "Medically, you seem okay. You're definitely a real person." Melissa told her, "Do you want me to call your father and Derek."

"Okay, so I'm real, but am I really me?" She asked them. "I don't want them here unless we are absolutely sure."

In that moment, Scott appeared in the doorframe, "Is she here?" She asked him.

"Yeah."

"Okay, let's do this." Stiles told him, but Melissa and Scott gave her unsure expressions, "Guys, we have to do this." She told them.

Scott helped Stiles down the stairs where Noshiko Yukimura was waiting for her. Once, she was all the down the stairs Stiles managed to make her way over to the woman by herself. Stiles gave her an uneasy look. "Do you recognize me, hmm?" Noshiko asked her.

"Stop." Kira told them as she rushed into the McCall living room. She looked at her mother pointedly.

"It's okay." Stiles assured her, "I'm the one who asked her to come."

"You're the one who's going to get stabbed with swords." Kira pointed out. She turned her attention to her mother, "Mom, don't do this to her." Kira begged.

"It's already done." Noshiko told her, Two Oni appeared in the McCall's living room and quickly grab the back of Stiles' neck.

Stiles gasped in shock and felt her body, trying to move back. It was impossible to do as the other Oni had a grip on her arms. Stiles looked right into the demon's eyes glowed firefly yellow and they easily let go. As she fell to the floor, they vanished.

"Look behind her ear." Noshiko ordered to Scott. Scott quickly got to the floor of his fallen friend and angled her neck to where the the kanji for "self" was burned.

"It worked." Scott announced to the room. Both Melissa and Kira made sounds of relief. Even Noshiko seemed a but relieved.

"So, I'm actually me?" Stiles asked with some relief.

"More you than the Nogitsune." Noshiko told her. Scott helped Stiles off the floor.

"Can The Oni find her?" Kira asked.

"Tomorrow night." She explained to them, "It's too close to dawn now."

"Can they kill her?"

"It depends on how strong she is."

"What about Landon?" Stiles asked worriedly, "Why would she take him?"

"She would only take him for an advantage."

"You mean his power?" Scott questioned.

"The power of a Reaper."

In the tunnels under the old Oak Creek Internment Camp, Landon could hear the screams of all the people who died there during WWII. It was really hard for him to drown them out. "Can you hear them?" A voice asked from behind him. Landon looked over in the direction of the voice and sees the Nogitsune/Stiles leaning against the wall, "Louder than usual, isn't it? Well, that's because a lot of bad things happened down here." She said looking at the wall with some remembrance.

"What are the voices telling you?" She taunted at him, "Are they saying that Stiles is dying?" She started to make her way over to Landon, who quickly started to back away, "She is, you know. She's dying."

"Then what do you need me for?" He yelled at the demon, "You think I can tell you something?"

Stiles just laughed in response, "Oh, I know you can."

"I'm not telling you anything!" Landon informed her.

"You won't have to." She said pointedly, "You'll be screaming."

At the Yukimura household, Kira was getting restless while Noshiko pulled out a game board, "How are they going to find her?" Kira asked pacing around the room, "And what are we supposed to do until then?" Noshiko continued to set up the board, "Sit around and wait?"

"Sit and learn."

Kira looked at the board with bewilderment, "You want to teach me how to play a board game?" Kira's voice dropped at her, "Now?"

"Scott said he saw Stiles and the Nogitsune playing the game of Go." Noshiko told her, "That's a very important detail. Perhaps, even crucial." Noshiko reasoned and gestured to the board, "Play starts with an empty board. Black is always placed first. Then white. You place stones to create territories.
And you capture your opponent's stones by completely surrounding them."

Upon the explanation, Kira was too agitated to listen, "This is life and death, Mom!" Kira shouted, "It isn't a game."

"It is to her and she's winning." Noshiko pressed at her, "You want to save your friends? You want them to survive? Learn to play."

Kira looked at her mother unsure, but Noshiko gestured for her to sit down and learn. If this could save her friends, Kira was willing to do just about anything.

At the Sheriff's station, the Sheriff was still awaiting word on Stiles, until he got a visitor at the door, "Go home, Sheriff." Deputy Parrish told him, "If anything comes up about Stiles, you know I'd call you in a second."

"I'm not going anywhere." The Sheriff told him.

"Well, neither am I since my shift doesn't end until dawn." Parrish told him with a smile, "You need a coffee?"

"Aw, you're a good guy, Parrish." The Sheriff told him, "That's what they all said at your previous station." He praised him. Then he gave him a curious look, "Though no one could tell me exactly why you left."

"Maybe I needed a change." He offered to his boss, "I don't really know." He said with a wondering look, "I guess...I kind of felt drawn here. And I knew there were openings."

"Do you know why there were openings?"

"The statistics don't worry me." Parrish assured him, but he looked at one of the wanted signs for the Oni. "They worry me."

"Me too."

"Well, then maybe you need to get some sleep." Parrish pressed, once more. "Go home, Sheriff." The Deputy told him just before leaving the room.

"Ah, If I could just find my keys." The Sheriff mumbled to himself.

"In your coffee cup." A familiar voice told him. "You always drop them in your empty cup."

He turned to see both Scott and Stiles standing in the doorframe of his office door. The Sheriff embraced his daughter without hesitation.

"Hey, Dad." Stiles muffled into his shirt.

"Is it over?" He asked Scott.

"Not yet."

Derek visited Chris Argent, "You had a gun pointed at my head." Derek told him, "You could've pulled the trigger. Why didn't you?"

"Because you're not my enemy anymore, Derek." Chris told him simply, "And I'm not yours."

"The truth is that we should be out there looking for her. Right now." Derek told him. Derek had been caught up with the developments of the Nogitsune and he couldn't be more relieved that Stiles was actually back, but they weren't out the woods yet. She had a doppelganger roaming around with Landon in tow. "Especially if she can do something like this."

"I'm not sure that's actually going to be necessary." Chris shared with him.

"Why not?"

"Because if she can do something like this-"

"She's stronger than ever." Derek realized, "Which means she'll be coming for us."

Back at the Sheriff's station, "We got an APB out on Landon's car." The Sheriff told them after he got off the phone, "Every unit on the road is looking for him."

"Isn't there anything else that we could do?" Scott questioned them.

"At this hour?" The Sheriff said with some struggle, "No, not really."

"She took him for a reason, Dad." Stiles said to her father. Stiles had a worried look on her face.

"Look, If we can figure out the why, then we'll figure out the where." He assured her, Stiles simply nodded, but didn't look absolutely convinced, "What would a Nogitsune need with a Reaper?"

"I don't know," Stiles answered, "Landon's pretty good at finding dead bodies."

"Maybe she needs to find a body?"

"Scott, you know more about this than all of us." The Sheriff pointed out.

"Me?" Scott wondered looking confused.

"You said you got the whole story from Noshiko?"

"Yeah, but that happened during World War II." He pointed out, "Like 70 years ago."

"Wait." Stiles interrupted them. She looked at her friend, "What did you say?"

"Noshiko told me about the internment camp-"

"No, before that." She interrupted once more, "You said, the whole story." She said with realization.

"Yeah." The Sheriff said not exactly sure what to make of Stiles' behavior, "What is it?"

Stiles' mind flashed back to her stay at Eichen house; "I should tell them. They're going to want to know the story. The whole story." Meredith said to a dead phone line.

"There's a girl at Eichen House." Stiles explained, "Her name's Meredith. I think she might be able to help."

In an instant the Sheriff got Parrish on the case with some quick results, "Sheriff, Meredith Walker." He handed him a small file.

"She's still there?"

"Yeah, but they moved her to the Closed Unit."

"Why?"

"They said behavioral issues."

"What issues?" Stiles asked already knowing the answer.

At Eichen House, The head orderly, Brunski, told them, "She wouldn't stop screaming." He said in a bored tone as they walked down the hall.

"Sounds pretty quiet now." The Sheriff remarked as they are being led down the unit.

"We had to send a guy down to sedate her." Brunski informed them, "Trust me, this little nutjob would not stop screaming." This time there was a hint of amusement in his voice, "But five mils of Haldol take her out like you wouldn't believe." He laughed until they noticed an unconscious orderly on the floor, "What the hell?" He demanded. It appeared that Meredith had somehow, managed to inject the orderly.

Brunski quickly checked over the orderly and noticed that something was missing, "She got his keys."

From behind them, Meredith was sneaking out of Eichen House from a secret passage.

Ethan and Aiden were running through the woods, trying to get a lock on Landon's scent, "Anything?" Aiden asked his brother when they paused for a break.

"No scent. No tracks. Nothing." Ethan told him. At the exact moment, a clicking sound filled their ears, "Did you hear that?"

"It sounds like-"

"A round being chambered." Ethan finished. He looked around and noticed that they managed to cross paths with an assortment of trip-wires, "Run!" They took off running just as bullets began to ping off the rocks and trees around them.

They both took several bullets and fell, "Wolfsbane." Ethan realized. Up ahead of him, he noticed that his brother was unconscious, "Aiden." Despite being shot Ethan managed to get to his brother.

Allison and Isaac came across an abandoned car in an abandoned lot, "That's it." She told Isaac as she broke the lock on the gate, "That's Landon's car."

"The scent's strong of emotion." Isaac told her when he took the smell of the air.

"Fear?"

"Anger."

"Sounds like Landon." Allison said without hesitation, "Let's see what else we can find."

Allison managed to break inside Landon's new car as she and Isaac both began to search through the compartments and visors. "Ah, just... Just out of curiosity, do you remember what happened the other night?"

"You mean, where I chained you to your bed?" Isaac asked, "Yeah, I remember."

"So that night, were you you, or were you not you?" She asked.

"I tried really hard to fight off," Isaac told her, "If that's what you're asking."

"It just has me worried that the Nogitsune has the ability to do something like that," Allison told him, "If it had control of you, why didn't it just you kill me right on the spot."

"At that time, there was only one Stiles, right?"

"Yeah."

"What if at some point the Real Stiles was able to somehow prevent the Nogitsune's influence me to do so." Issac suggested. "Something that allowed her a little bit of control."

"Her desire to protect the pack," Allison realized. Issac gave her a questioning look, "At the loft when Derek went charging at her it gained the upper hand, but when it threatened him it hit a barrier that surrounded him," She told him, "It was angry by the action and said it should've known that Stiles would've done something like that." Allison theorized, "The Nogitsune can't hurt us directly."

"So there's a chance that it can't hurt Landon, either." Isaac shared, "Meaning we still have time to find him." There was a pause in the moment.

"Yeah, but it doesn't us get any closer to finding Landon. He didn't leave any clues. The only way possible is if he left one secretly."

"Didn't you and Scott have a way of secretly communicating?" Issac asked, "During the Kanima incident?"

Allison knew he was talking the trick that she and Scott used and quickly breathed onto the driver's side window of the car revealing the words "DONT FIND ME" in the condensation, traced by someone's finger. They both exchanged mixed with confusion and worry.

At the school, Coach was talking angrily into his phone as his class started to fill up with his students, "Ten thousand dollars? They pulled an arrow out of my stomach." He yelled into the phone, "What did they do? Fill it up with diamonds?" The other person on the end of the line didn't appreciate his methods, "All right, fine. What..." He asked with disbelief, "Okay. Just send me the bill. Fine!"

He slammed his phone on the desk, "Okay, listen up kids." He told his now settled class, "Today we're-" Coach gets another idea, "You know what? Today we're going to discuss the corrupt institution of health care."

"Um, Coach." Danny said raising his hand, "We have an unexpected guest." He looked pointedly in at the spot where Landon would normally sit. Coach followed Danny's line of sight and noticed Meredith.

Stiles had fallen asleep on the McCall's living room sofa covered with a blanket waking up with a start, "Hey!" Scott quickly rushed to her side, "You okay?"

"What happened?" She asked panicked looking around, "How long was I out?" She questioned trying to sit-up, but Scott pushed her back down on the couch.

"Just a couple of hours." He told her as she tried once more to sit-up, "But you should be laying back down."

"Where's my Dad?"

"He's at Eichen House, questioning everyone." Scott told her, "Looking for Meredith. I promised him I wouldn't let you out of my sight."

It seemed to have eased Stiles a bit, "Okay, what about the others?"

"Allison, Isaac, the Twins, they're all looking for Landon."

"It's starting to feel like we're waiting for a ransom call." Stiles told him fiddling with the blanket.

"We'll find him." Scott assured her, but he noticed exactly how much fiddling Stiles was doing, "You all right?"

"Yeah." She told him, still fighting with it, "I don't know why, I just can't seem to get warm."

"Take it easy." Scott instructed just as Stiles was close to falling off the couch. He took a hold of her by the arm and his werewolf pain absorption ability kicked in automatically, "You're in pain."

"It's not that bad." Stiles told him pulling away, "Just more like a dull ache. I'm able to block it out from Derek."

"Where?"

"Sort of everywhere." She confessed, but Scott didn't need his werewolf hearing to know when she was lying. She had that 'I know more than I'm telling' look on her face.

Scott touched her arm once again and this time he was hit by a chill, "Dude, you're freezing." He pointed out to her, "Tell me the truth. How much does it really hurt?" Stiles looked at him, like she was close to tears. Scott doesn't get an answer because Kira calls Scott and explained that Meredith was at school.

Inside the classroom, the student have gathered around Meredith and Coach, "Sweetheart." Coach tried talking to Meredith, "Do you want to tell me which insane asylum you escaped from?"

"Coach, insane asylum isn't proper terminology anymore." Danny informed him.

"Okay. Sweetheart. What..." He struggled for another term, "What nuthouse did you escape from?"

"Eichen House." Meredith answered quietly. When she spoke the students who had gathered around to watch, all took a step back.

"Wanna tell me what you're doing so far from there?"

"Trying to help." She explained to him, "I can hear them." She whispered to him, "They scream."

"That's got to be terrifying." Coach said remaining in a calm manner, "What, uh... Why do they scream?"

"They scream when someone's about to die."

"Are they screaming right now?" He asked her leaning in, "How many of them?"

"All of them." She whispered at him.

Brunski and two other Eichen House orderlies arrived at school, just as Coach entered the hallway, Kira put together what was happening, "Coach. You can't let them take her back." She begged him, "It's hard to explain, but if you let her go back then really, really bad things are going to happen to Landon, to Scott and Stiles and maybe everyone, including you." She pointed out, "So please, please don't let them take her."

"Who are you?"

"Um... I'm Kira." Kira suddenly dumbfounded, "I'm new."

Coach noticed Brunski and quickly became uncomfortable, "Oh, hell."

"Finstock." Brunki said with a smile, "Coach Bobby Finstock. This is a delightful surprise." The tone in his voice said otherwise, "What is that saying? Those who can't do, teach?" He gave him a crooked smirk.

"Yeah, that's funny." Coach responded uneasily.

"Is it Professor Finstock when you're off the field?" Brunki asked continuing his downgrading, while Coach was suddenly started cowling as if he was being bullied, "I'm glad to see you made it pro something, Bobby."

"It's Coach." He corrected him, "Coach... You know... Professors teach college."

"Oh, well," He asked with feign surprise, "You let me know when you make higher education." Brunski mocked, "Now, Coach, where's Meredith?"

"She's fine." Coach said blandly, "She's just sitting in my office."

Coach opened the door to his office to hand over Meredith but she was already gone, "Find her!" Brunski ordered his orderlies.

Allison was dismantling the eyepiece on her large crossbow in the weapons storage area/workshop of the Argent's apartment building when her father appeared, "I had a feeling, you might be down here."

"I needed to do something." She explained to him, "I hate waiting."

"Where's Isaac?" Chris asked looking around the area.

"He's trying to help Scott."

"Leave it for now, huh?" Chris told as Allison struggled with a piece of the equipment, "I have something else you can do." He shared when Allison gave him a confused look, "Something we should've done a while ago." He gave her a bar of silver, "It's time for you to graduate."

Under Oak Creek, Landon had been trying to find a way out, but comes across every exit blocked by bars. "They'll find me." Landon mumbled to himself, "My friends are going to find me." He groaned out aloud.

"You think so?" Nogitsune/Stiles asked appearing close to him, but Landon wasn't surprised anymore. She had been doing that entire time, "I myself, was kind of wondering what they're doing right now." She taunted at him.

"What useless lead they're chasing." She said with feign wonder, "I wonder if maybe some of them have bigger problems to deal with right now."

At the McCall residence, Stiles was attempting to use her spark, but nearly collapses as Issac catches her

"Are they really spending every minute looking for you? Or... Are they waiting for nightfall?" It continued to theorize, "Focused on some hopeless gesture to pass the time."

Still in the basement, Chris was getting some supplies gathered with Allison

"What do you want?" Landon demanded.

"More."

"More what?"

"The Trickster stories are all about food, Landon." It hissed at her, "The Coyote, the Raven, the Fox. They're all hungry. I'm the same. I just crave something a little different." It explained, "I eat what you feel."

Stiles stepped closer to Landon and took a lick to his face, Landon whimpered in fear as Stiles gave him a wicked smile, "And I am insatiable."

Meredith had found her way to the Beacon Hills High School Music room and was plucking the strings of the grand piano. She could hear whispers as the note dies away, "I can hear you. But I can't understand. Just a little louder, please." She told them with another pluck.

She was interrupted when Brunski appeared with the sound of him triggering his taser, "Let's go, sweetheart." He directed at her, "As you know, I'm not averse to using the tools of my trade. As often as necessary."

"I just... I need another second, okay?" She pleaded to him, "They're trying to tell me something." She turned back to the piano.

"Meredith." He told her in a warning tone.

"Please." She whispered into the piano, "They're trying to tell me something."

Brunski was about to attack when Coach arrived and managed to grab the taser and turning it back on the orderly, "This school has a very strict no bullying policy." Coach stated at the groaning man.

"Well?" He questioned Scott and Kira, who all were in the room as well, "Get her outta here." He ordered them. Scott and Kira took a hold of Meredith and exited the room.

"You little piece of-" Brunski started to just as Coach shocked him again.

"We also frown on cursing."

Once, Scott, Meredith, and Kira were in the safety of the McCall car, Scott turned his attention to Meredith in the backseat, "Where's Landon?" Scott asked her.

"Who's Landon?" Was what Scott got back.
