"Landon figured it out." Theo relished, "I saw it in his memories."

"Right after you drove him out of his mind."

"Collateral damage." Theo shrugged, "But if he's right about Parrish, then things around here are gonna get a lot worse."

"I don't care."

"You should." Theo warned, moving away from Stiles, "Because if your dad survives he's not gonna be sheriff of anything much longer."

Theo stepped towards the door to leave, but as soon as he got close to the door, it slammed shut by itself right in his face.

He smiled to himself, before turning his attention back to Stiles who moved away from the wall, "What's happening to him?" Stiles questioned.

Theo stepped towards Stiles wearing a somber expression, "I was holding back during our little fight last night." He whispered, leaning close into Stiles' personal space, placing a hand around Stiles' neck, "But I can't have you following me."

Stiles then felt a prick and numbing sensation, "Son of a..." Stiles stated, just before hitting the wood of the stairs and being rendered unconscious.


Liam and Mason were at the hospital trying to find out if any more bodies had been brought to the hospital, "No, there have not been any other bodies brought in tonight, thank God." Dr. Geyer assured them.

"No one named Hayden?"

"Mason, take him home." He instructed his stepson's friend, "It's 6:00 in the morning."

"Dad, you're sure there have been no other dead bodies?"

Dr. Geyer observed the pair and the strange need to know about bodies, "Both of you." He told them sternly, "Home. Now."

Liam and Mason walked away in defeat, but as soon as they turned the corner of the hall, "We're not going home, are we?" Mason questioned his friend.

"No."

"Well, we both know where Hayden's body is." Mason reminded him, "And if you want to find her, you will need to find the Nemeton."

Liam agreed with determination, "Okay." He told Mason, "Let's find the Nemeton." With that being said Liam walked off ahead of Mason.

"I need to learn to shut up," Mason mumbled just before following his friend.


"Stiles you need to get up." The voice of the Sheriff echoed once again, "You've got to get up now."

"Stiles." The voice of Scott took place, "Stiles."

Stiles returned to the world of consciousness, seeing Scott hovering, "Are you okay?" Scott asked worried, holding out a hand, "Are you hurt?"

"Aside from the paralyzing sensation, I'm fine." Even though Stiles was anything, but fine.

"You blacked out."

"I'm okay," Stiles told him. Scott helped Stiles by propping Stiles up against the wall, "Did you get anything from him?"

"Nothing." Stiles made a displeased face, "He was calm the entire time."

A look annoyance showed, "What about his heart?"

"I heard it jump," Scott shared, "But only once, and only for a second."

"That doesn't mean he was lying." Stiles theorized.

"Not really," Scott admitted, taking a seat next to Stiles. "The rest of the time it was steady."

"When did it jump?" Stiles questioned, "What was I talking about?"

Scott thought for a moment, "It was when you said that your dad was poisoned."

"That could be something." Stiles hoped, "A jump could mean surprise, right?"

Scott wasn't sure, but if it kept Stiles talking to him and letting him help find out what's wrong with the Sheriff he was going to take it. "Yeah, yeah, I think so."

"So why would he be surprised that my dad's still dying?" Stiles wondered, trying to piece together the information.

"He didn't say he was the one who attacked your dad, did he?"

"No."

"Well, then this means it was probably someone else."

Stiles made an eye roll and huffing sound answering the unasked question, "Another Chimera."

In the hospital, Sheriff Stilinski whispered the word, "Chimera" over and over.


Mason and Liam, somehow managed to worm their way into the school library in hopes in finding to search for the Nemeton, "This is the one." Mason shared as he found the book he was looking, "These are Ley Lines. They're mapped according to telluric currents. Stiles and Landon were looking at the intersections." He scanned the page with the map of the woods, "Probably... This one." He pointed in the center of the woods.

"But they never found it." Liam reminded him.

"They kept going out there to look," Mason retorted, "But the Nemeton has to want to be found."

"It's a supernatural tree that has to want to be found in order for you to see it?" Liam questioned his friend.

"Yeah."

"That's awesome." Liam laughed, just before he and Mason walked pass the spot where Liam had fought with Scott. This seemed to stop the beta as he stared at the spot.

Mason noticed this and nudged his friend getting his attention, "We should just make a copy..." Mason offered to say, only for Liam to rip the page of the book, leaving Mason to feel offended by the gesture.


By the time the venom to worn off, thanks to Stiles' healing ability, Stiles was ready to be on the move and climbed into an SUV, locking the doors, before Scott even has a chance of getting inside, "Stiles?" Scott questioned from the outside, appearing to be worried.

"Yeah, I can do the rest myself," Stiles replied not looking Scott in the eye.

"You don't even know where to start." But that doesn't motivate Stiles into unlocking the doors, "All we know that it's another Chimera." Stiles pushed the key into the ignition, "Do you even know where you're headed?" The roar of the engine starting was his answer, "Come on." Scott pleaded, "Let me help. I can find the clues you can't."

When it was clear that Stiles was ready to drive off, Scott placed himself in front of the vehicle, finally getting his friend's attention, "You can't do this alone, okay." Scott tried, "You need me. You need all of us. I can get more help." Scott urged, "I can text Liam."

"Liam just tried to kill you." Stiles reminded him.

"Okay, then at least let me help."

Stiles made a frustrated expression, "You believed him?" It wasn't a question; it was more of an accusation.

"You trusted him, too." Scott pointed out.

"I think you're confusing trust with blackmail." Stiles corrected him, "I never trusted him. Not since the moment at Senior Scribe. In doing so, I provided everything I could imaginable proving that he couldn't be trusted, that something was up with him."

"This is Theo's dad's signature on a speeding ticket from eight years ago." Stiles shares, showing Scott, Kira, and Micah a copy of a ticket dated eight years ago, "And this is his dad's signature on a transfer form to Beacon Hills High School from just a few days ago." The form is dated a couple of days prior.

"How did you get his transfer form?" Kira asks curiously.

"You didn't break into the Administration Office?" Scott asks in a condescending tone.

"No, I did not break into the Administration Office." Stiles mocks at him. Scott gives an eyebrow raise, "Okay, I might have broken into the Administration Office." Stiles caves, "Can we just focus on the signatures, please?" Stiles places the ticket and the form side by side, "They're different."'

"They're sort of different." Micah offers.

"They're completely different." Stiles counters, pointing at the end of the signature, "Look, the garlands don't match, the undulations of the sinuous stroke are totally off." Stiles points out and then points to another spot on the forms, "And look, look at this. Perfect example of the Criminal Tremor."

"So now, Theo is Theo, but his parents aren't his parents?" Scott questions, not impressed with the theory.

"Someone's not someone." Stiles answers noticing the three of them making doubtful expressions, "And when I figure out who that someone really is, someone's in big trouble."

"But no one's done anything wrong." Kira points out.

"Yet." Stiles presses, "If Theo's parents are both psychotic killers then obviously, we should not trust him, right?"

"My parents are Peter and the Desert Wolf." Micah makes a point to say.

Stiles realizes that Micah has a point, "Okay... It's fine." She caves in and began gathering her evidence, while Micah, Scott, and Kira continue to give worry expressions, "You know what? I'll figure it out myself." Stiles raves walking away.

"You all acted as if I was being paranoid and brushed it off." Stiles reminded him, "No one believed me."

"Theo got to all of us," Scott made a point to say, "Even you."

"You know; you don't even know the real story." Stiles voiced, still upset at Scott for believing Theo's lies.

"I don't need to." Scott announced, "All that matters right now is your dad." Even with Scott pulling the "Save Your Dad" card, Stiles was still reluctant in receiving the help, "Come on, Stiles." Scott pressed, "We survived an Alpha pack, a Dark Druid, professional assassins. We can survive Dread Doctors and Chimeras, too."

The mentioning of the Chimeras sparked an idea into Stiles' head, "We're not looking for a missing Chimera." Realization coming together, "We're looking for a missing teenager."


Jordan watched as Landon was loaded into an ambulance and Natalie climbed in with him, "I'm going to find a way to get him out of there." He promised to them, "Even if I have to break through the walls."

Dr. Fenris seemed quite amused at the statement, "Good luck with that Deputy." He told the deputy just before climbing into the ambulance.

As he settled into the passenger seat of the ambulance, the reflection from the window showed that Dr. Fenris wasn't Dr. Fenris. Instead, it was Dr. Valack, who somehow was able to manipulate his appearance.

The Orderly Schrader was behind the wheel and looked behind them at the catatonic Landon, "He's a pretty little thing, isn't he?" He noted towards the doctor.

Dr. Valack made a face of disgust, "That pretty little thing could shatter your skull with his voice if someone decided to teach him how."


In Stiles room, Stiles and Scott sat reviewing police calls. Scott wanted to talk, but Stiles threatened to disappear, if Scott opened his mouth to anything that didn't involve in helping the Sheriff, "There was a call a few hours ago about a sophomore from Beacon High who never came home last night." Scott shared when a call log caught his eye.

"What's his name?"

"Noah Patrick."

It doesn't take long for the duo to get to the school and Scott breaking into Noah's locker retrieving a shirt, "Now we can catch his scent."

Stiles was ready to be on the move again, when Micah appeared right in front of Stiles, wearing uncomfortable expression and Stiles not being happy with the appearance, "You called him." Stiles dreaded looking away from the werecoyote.

"We need all the help that we can get." Scott reminded Stiles, "I should be calling everyone."

"And I know what this kid looks like," Micah told Stiles. The two stared at each other momentarily, but Stiles sighed in defeat.

"Let's go."

Noah ran through a warehouse loading bay, looking over his shoulder as if something was chasing him. As he hides behind a concrete barrier, he heard the sounds of the Dread Doctors and their shadows as they are in pursuit.


Mason and Liam have wandered into the woods, "This is it." Mason announced when they came upon the intersection of the ley lines on the map. "There should be a clearing here."

However, the only that can be seen are trees and fallen branches, "Maybe the clearing doesn't want to be found either." Liam sighed with defeat, "I couldn't save her."

"No one could." Mason reminded him. "I was standing right there. Melissa did everything medically possible..."

"While I was trying to kill Scott," Liam replied with guilt.

"You can't take all the blame." Mason said, trying to assure his friend, "I mean, there was, like, 800 extenuating circumstances. It wasn't just the moon." Mason listed, "It was losing Hayden. In the fear, anger, and Theo took advantage of it."

"Or maybe it was just me."

"Liam, you're a werewolf." His friend pointed out, "There was a full moon, a Supermoon. And you can't let yourself..." A thought dawned on Mason.

"What?"

"The Nemeton's a beacon for supernatural creatures, right?"

Liam made a confused expression, not sure at what Mason was trying to get at, "Yeah."

"So what if it takes a supernatural creature to find it."

"I am a supernatural creature and I can't find anything."

"But you've been looking with your human eyes."

Liam then gets the idea and used his wolf eyes and scanned around them. It doesn't take long as Liam spotted the clearing and the tree stump, "Mason..."

"What?" Mason asked on alert, "What?"

"Look." Liam pointed toward the stump.

"I don't see any..." Liam placed his arm around him and guided him to look in the exact spot he had been pointing in, "Intense." Mason commented when seeing the stump for himself.


When Scott, Stiles, and Micah arrived at the warehouse where Noah was hiding, Stiles immediately took off ahead of them, leaving Scott and Micah behind.

"Didn't want you to call me, huh?" Micah questioned knowingly as they followed Stiles into the warehouse.

"No." Scott admitted, "Is it that bad?"

"I think silent treatment is the best way I can put it," Micah admitted. Stiles hadn't bothered to contact him since Micah's confession at the station, "And with Derek...I think they kind of broke up." It was the best conclusion the werecoyote could come up with since his cousin hadn't mentioned a word about Stiles since his arrival the previous night.

Scott looked up ahead as he watched Stiles surveying the building trying to find something that doesn't belong.

"You can't kill people!" Scott shouts, shocking the both of them.

"I didn't have a choice."

"Well, what do I do about this?" Scott indicates at the bloodied wrench he is holding onto.

"What do you want me to do?" Stiles questions, voice now breaking, "Okay, just be... Scott, just tell me how to fix this, all right?" The plea turns into begging, "Please, just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

A blanket of silence falls on them. This time, it is worse than the first one. Because the best friends knew that there's no a way for them to get over the situation at hand. At least, not yet.

"Don't worry about Micah or Landon." Scott answers, breaking the tragic silence, "We'll find them." Scott is unable to look Stiles in the eye now, "Maybe... Maybe you should talk to your dad."

He drops the wrench on the ground. Without another word, Scott turns around and leaves.

"Yeah, we kind of broke up, too," Scott admitted with regret. He noticed Micah's silent behavior, "Hey, you can tell me what's going on with you." Scott offered, "I mean besides Stiles. You can talk to me."

Micah gave him an uneasy stare, "I said I'd help find this kid and I'm doing it to save Stiles' dad." Micah told him, arms crossed instinctively guarded, "Don't ask me to talk."

"Well, I'm not asking." Scott shared, "I'm offering. I'm just saying it's okay if you want to."

Micah nodded his head, "I know." Micah answered, taking in the smell of the air, "I got it." Micah shared, "I got his scent."


Melissa had been working on paperwork when Dr. Geyer approached the nurse's station clearly distressed, "Melissa, that man in there is dying and I don't know how to save him." Dr. Geyer stressed, "I went to Harvard Med. I have degrees lining the wall of my office. And I don't have the slightest clue what's going on here." He shook his head with discontent, "If you know something about this that I don't..."

"Me?" Melissa questioned him.

"Yes, you." He countered, "Nothing seems to faze you." With what she has experienced, was kinda true. "And not to sound accusatory, but it's like you know something."

He had a point, "Knowing something is different from understanding it." Melissa told him, "Yeah, I could tell you things, really bizarre things." This earned her a suspicious look, "But right now I can't tell you anything that is gonna save his life."

"Then what are we supposed to do?"

"Keep him alive." Melissa voiced with determination, "For as long as we can."


Liam and Mason count the bodies around the tree, but something wasn't adding up, "There's only four here." Mason told him as Liam recounted, "That means four Chimeras are missing."

"I only care about one." Liam said, "Hayden's alive. She has to be."

"Okay, maybe you're right." Mason told him, "Either way, we gotta tell someone about this. We get the cops down here and they can figure out who's dead, who's alive and who's whatever." He told him, "Sound good?"

Just as they were about to leave headlights flashed on, "You two." The voice of Policeman called out to them, "Stay right where you are."

"That's it." A voice from the shadows, "That's where I found the bodies." Out of the shadows stood Hayden as she led a group to the spot, "Four of them."

Scott, Stiles, and Micah were searching in the tunnels for Noah. Alongside the wall, there were claw marks, "This is Noah's." Micah realized, touching the marks and able to tell how recent they've been, "He was here. I think he's close."

Scott was getting a bad feeling about being in the tunnels, "Guys... I think we've been down tunnels like this before like when we were trying to find Liam and Hayden."

Stiles turned on Scott, "Okay, so what?" Stiles barked at him, "Maybe, it means we're closer than we think."

"Maybe there's something else down here." Scott countered argued, "Something we haven't found yet."

"Yeah, nothing that helps my dad." Stiles pointed out, before walking ahead of them, "Look, we can't just be standing around here waiting for something to..."

Noah jumped out of the shadows and attacked Stiles, unknowingly pushing Stiles' head into the concrete, resulting in Stiles being knocked unconscious with the sounds of the Sheriff's voice and a memory taking over.

The Sheriff is standing beside a small figure on the ground, "Stiles, you need to get up." However, young Stiles doesn't move a muscle, but instead stays on the ground, "Come on. You gotta get up now. You need to get up."

None of the gentle urgings seems to affect Stiles. The Sheriff kneels down behind Stiles and places a hand on a small shoulder and small hand covers his, "Hey." He tries getting Stiles attention away from the casket that is on ground with them, "You still got me."

This seems to be enough as young Stiles finally turns away from the casket and into the Sheriff's embrace.

The first thing, Stiles sees when gasping awake was Scott's face. Scott has Stiles in his arms, wearing a worried expression, "You okay?"

"Yeah, fine," Stiles stated sitting up from Scott's arms. The sound of Micah growing and someone fighting captured Stiles' attention.

"Let me go, please," Noah cried out as Micah has both arms wrapped around the chimera, who was fighting to break Micah's hold, "Please." He begged, "They're coming." In the faint, distance, Noah could hear the crackling sounds of the Dread Doctors.

"You're not going anywhere," Micah growled out.

"I said I don't remember."

"You don't remember anything?"

"No." Noah cried out, still fighting against the hold, "Not when it happens. Not when I change."

"You clawed my dad half to death, okay," Stiles told him, "And now it's poisoning him." Stiles signaled Micah to release Noah, which Micah does, but blocked him from being able to run any farther from them, "You're gonna start remembering every detail right now."

A cackling sound, caught Micah's attention, "Scott, I hear them."

"Yeah, I do, too." Scott shared as he turned and looked back behind them. "Hey, Stiles, get him out of here." Scott directed, "Go to the hospital. Figure out a way to save your dad."

For the first time since they been together, Stiles looked genuinely worried about leaving Scott and Micah behind, "You're not gonna be able to stop them." Stiles told the werecreatures.

"But we can slow them down." Scott shared with confidence. There was a look of confliction as Stiles thought about the last time in having to make a choice, "Stiles, go." Scott urged.

Hesitantly, Stiles grabbed Noah by the hand and sent the two of them running down the tunnel.


Scott could sense Micah's hesitation as they could see the Dread Doctors approaching them, "We're gonna be okay." Scott assured him.

Micah side-eyed Scott, "Scott, we're gonna die down here."

Scott shook his head, "No, we're not."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because you're not the only one I called."

"Get down." A voice ordered them. It was Chris Argent as he stepped into the tunnel, firing his high-powered rifle at the Doctors with an explosion. However, instead of hitting the doctors, the Pathologist projected an electromagnetic shield around his fingertips, that deflect the bullets. But that doesn't stop the Hunter from firing, "Run." He ordered the two.


Stiles and Noah continue running down the tunnel as the sounds of gunshots echoed behind them. Up ahead, Stiles spotted a locked gate and tightening the grip on Noah's hand, "Oh God I really hope this works."

"What works?" Noah questioned when he noticed that they weren't slowing down.

"My spark." Stiles answered, eyeing the gate, "Sometimes it works with you guys and sometimes it doesn't."

"I think I can break it." He offered, forcing Stiles to stop them from running into the gate, "Off chance your spark doesn't work, you'll probably be knocked unconscious again." Which was definitely something Stiles did not need, "It's just sometimes, most of the time, I lose control." He confessed, "So you better step back."

Stiles does so while Noah grunted with effort as large, bony spike grew out of his arms. He slashed through the chain holding the gate closed. The chain breaks easily, "Let's go." Noah urged, running ahead.

However, Stiles doesn't move on the realization that one of Noah's bony spikes was broken and covered in blood.


Melissa ran down the hall, "Dr. Geyer!" She called out, catching his attention, "We have to open him up."

"What?"

"There's something inside him." She told him hurriedly, "Something we didn't see."

"Melissa, we can't just open him up."

Melissa doesn't listen to anything he has said, "It's a piece of bone." She told him, "He's being poisoned by bone marrow." This earned her a questioning look, "I know it doesn't make any sense, I know what it sounds like, but you have to open him up." She urged him, "Do it now."

Scott, Micah, and Argent all rushed to the hospital where Melissa smiled as they came in signaling that everything is all right. They all have a sense of relief.


In his room still hooked to a machine, the Sheriff woke up to find a sleeping teen waiting by his side. He reached out and placed a hand on top of teen's head, waking up the teen, "It's okay Stiles." He said with a gentle smile, as the teen looked up at him, "You still got me."

Stiles cried with relief.

Neither one aware of someone looking in on them.


Theo and Hayden had tracked Noah to the warehouse, "He was here." Hayden voiced.

"What else can you tell me?" Theo questioned her as they stood in the middle of the abandoned warehouse.

"Why don't you tell me how I know that?"

"Noah's part Berserker." Theo shared, "You're part jaguar. You'll be drawn to each other."

"Is that why I'm here with you?" She questioned.

Instead of answering the question Theo replied, "I saved your life." But then Hayden winced with pain, "What?"

"I think he's dying." She shuddered out. "That means they're going to find him." She realized, remembering her own experience with the doctors.

Theo stated, "Probably already have."

In another part of the warehouse, Noah was still on the run, even though he was bleeding mercury as the doctors close in on him.

"We could've used him." Theo lamented.

"For what?" Hayden questioned him. Theo doesn't give an answer when something on the side of the warehouse caught his attention, "What is that?" She questioned, seeing the reason for the lack of an answer.

"A symbol." Theo explained knowingly, "The symbol of an Alpha and his pack."

"Whose pack?"

"Scott's."

The symbol was clawed into the metal side of the warehouse wall. It was one circle inside a larger circle, the same as the tattoo on Scott's arm.


Future

"It was more than a symbol, wasn't it?" Dr. Valack questions Landon, "It was a promise to reunite them."

"Yes."

"But has Scott done it yet?" He wonders, "Will he be coming for you?"

They hear a gate buzzer down the hall, "Someone's coming." Landon tells him, "But it's not Scott."

Theo leads Josh, Tracy, and Corey down the hallway. When Theo makes it to Landon's room, Valack immediately warns Theo, "You don't wanna do this, Theo." He advises him, "He's safe in here." Theo tilts his head with some feign consideration, "The Dread Doctors don't know how important he is yet."

Tracy retaliates by knocking him into the wall, "He doesn't look good." Tracy notes, looking at Landon.

"He has a hole in his head." Corey notes, "It's not a good look for anyone."

Theo says the one thing that everyone can agree on, "I can't believe this is actually a medical establishment." Theo scoff, "Pick him up." He orders Josh, "We're getting him out of here."

"Now what would a pack of Chimeras want with Reaper?" He questions, eyeing them suspiciously.

"I don't want a Reaper." Theo answers with a knowing smirk, "I'm looking for a Hellhound."

The sound of growling captures their attention and they see Parrish arriving as he burns through the wire mesh gate with his hands. His eyes glow and his body is on fire. It appears he now has lower fangs.

"I think you found one."
