Facing all three skinwalkers on her own, Kira ends up with a spear through her right shoulder.
As the skinwalkers tell her in their weird joint voice?
she is frightened of herself.

They will test her, and if they cant help her, she will become a skinwalker…forever.
Back in Beacon Hills, Stiles is focusing his attention on the important things: Fixing Roscoe!
Well, fixing Roscoeenoughso that he and Scott can take Roscoe out to the desert to find Kira.
As Scott tells Liam, whos waiting to talk to him, theyre headed out to New Mexico.
And no, Liam cant come.
Yeah, its not easy.
As Scott tells Stiles, he knows that hell forgive Liam eventually, but that time isnt now.
Roscoe is up and running, so lets get this road trip going!
With Scott and Stiles on the road, Theo and Tracy are on the hunt for The Beast.
So this creature could unknowingly be walking among these high schoolers all day, every day!
Guesses as to its identity?
Apparently Theos not happy with his pack, because hes still not an alpha.
With his yellow eyes, hes not even a real boy werewolf!
But Theos pity party is cut short by the arrival of The Beast, decapitated head in hand.
The Beast lets out one locker-rattling growl, and then hes gone.
So it seems like the Doctors do have control over it?
If she doesnt, the fox spirit could consume her completely.
Mom then gives Kira a quick lesson in not judging others so quickly.
After all, the same myths that say skinwalkers are evil also say that kitsunes are evil.
(To be fair, though, arent you in this desert because Kiras fox spiritisevil?)
As the Romans believed, being forgotten was a punishment worse than death.
It was a practice that was later used on a serial killer in 1598.
Known as the demon tailor, the killer would boil the flesh off of childrens bones to eat.
Well, it seems he became a werewolf…named The Beast.
Driving down the road, Scott updates Stiles on his latest visit to see Malia.
Speaking of Malia, shes currently back at the school.
Not able to find Deaton, shes more than frustrated when Theo shows up with an offer.
He claims that he can help her find Deaton and the Desert Wolf.
Because he knows how the Dread Doctors found everyone else.
But Liam isnt the only one getting some action.
Its a good point, but its one Mason only sort of believes.
As soon as Corey kisses him, he pretty much forgets all about good versus evil.
And the best part?
But before we go any further, lets check in on Lydia.
First and foremost, lets agree to something.
Lydia 1: This is the actual Lydia, whos currently lying in her bed in a catatonic state.
Lydia 2: This is in her head Lydia, whos learning from Meredith.
Because everyones going to die if Lydia doesnt save them.
Meredith manages to tell her dont be afraid before Theo kills Meredith.
(But this isnt actually happening, right?
Im so confused about how Theo fits into all of this.)
NEXT: Kira wins…or does she?
But as Scott tells him, I know the difference.
I know what self-defense is.
They still find the time to pull over and talk out the rest of their issues.
Scott cant get over the fact that he and Stiles shouldve kept talking that night.
If theyd talked for five more minutes, they wouldve realized what Theo was doing.
And now, its Stiles who had blood on his hands.
But he never wanted it to be Stiles.
It shouldve been me, he tells Stiles.
Its a sweet moment, though an ill-timed one.
Seriously guys, Kira is literally fighting for her life right now!
Transitioning to Kira, shes currently in the middle of the desert, where shes taking on the Oni.
Next time we see her, its light out it could not have taken that long, right?
But the skinwalkers arent so fast to congratulate the young kitsune.
As they put it, she didnt pass the test.
You wield the sword, but the fox wields you.
Its harsh but true.
Claiming that Kira has no control, the skinwalkers want her to stay and become one of them.
Combine that with the arrival of Scott, Stiles, and Roscoe, and Kira gets away safely.
Not only that, but she and Scott waste literally no time before making out in the back seat!
I guess that ship is still going strong!
But Kira wont have much time to celebrate her homecoming.
Yep, that idiots looking for Deucalion.
