But the best part of this episode is finally getting back the dynamic of Scotts pack.

Then theres Kira and Malia, who are pretty much game to help however they can.

Yeah, Ive missed this.

The best they can guess, its an incredibly large something.

(To be fair, it is that.)

Could it be time for the big fight?

But that doesnt stop The Beast from throwing a flaming Parrish across the room.

(So when it transforms back to a teen, it wears shoes?)

She will hear every death, every dying scream, all at once.

Not only could that kill her, but her own dying scream could kill everyone around her.

But Stiles knows that they have to get her out tonight.

(Although, how do they know the hole in the head is happening tonight?)

So its a delicate balance.

So did he just create a Dread Doctor?

Meanwhile, Stiles gets Parrish on board to drive the van into Eichen.

So when Scott and Stiles run into Theo in the library, Theo offers to help get Lydia out.

After all, the chimeras wont be stopped by the mountain ash barrier inside Eichen.

And if Scott doesnt accept their help?

Well, they better hope they get to Lydia first.

So whats with Theos interest in Lydia?

As Scott says, he probably figured out that maybe shes the only one who could actually save us.

Have we talked about how much Im into powerful Lydia yet?

Because I amreallyinto it.

And just in case his charm isnt persuasive enough its not he leaves behind the photos of Valacks experiment.

These people really suck at secrets.

But Scott still believes that when the time comes, shell be fine.

Kira and Malia might not agree, but they dont really have a choice.

Its time to go.

And matters are only made worse by the patient whos screaming at them about how his doctor went missing.

(Yeah, pretty sure shes a Dread Doctor now.

Sorry, dude.)

They head elsewhere just as Malia gives Kira the pep talk she needs.

Reminding her that this isnt about her, she says, Its about Lydia.

Were here to save Lydia.

Were here to save our friend.

(Did she really need the explanation that Lydia is their friend?)

Regardless, it works.

And after Scott hits Liam a few times to make him angry it works.

Only, when he gets to Lydia, he discovers that hes too late.

Theres already a hole in her head.

Lydia begs Stiles to leave, claiming, Youre going to die if you stay, all of you.

Just then, Valack rounds the corner, causing Stiles to hide.

But when Scott sees his beta in pain, he goes into full alpha mode.

In this moment, Scott rises up.

He and Liam both rise up, taking out the guards.

As Scott proclaims, Come on, were getting Lydia out of here.

And of course thats where the episode ends, becauseTeen Wolfknows how to leave us wanting more.

In exchange, he promises to tell her about the talons Theo got from the Desert Wolf.

But when she doesnt let him out, he tells her anyway.

Man, this bad guys lost his touch (unless this is all a manipulation?).

In other words, if Theo puts them on, hell die.
