Malia faces off against the Desert Wolf as Lydia finally finds her voice

Guys, weve made it.

Remember all those months ago whenseason 5 premieredwith a number of ominous flashforwards that left you stunned and confused?

Well, weve finally worked our way back to that point in this seasons timeline.

But before we get to all that, lets take one last trip into the past.

So what does that mean for killing it now?

Were not really sure.

But what we are sure of is that Gerard is just as ballsy as hes ever been.

Despite being a human walking around in a supernatural world, he just thinks hes the coolest thing.

And you know what?

All I know is they stopped moving, and he claims its because hes tapped into their frequency.

Sure, why not?

So either the Doctors are covering for The Beast…or saving them for The Beast?

Im totally making stuff up here, in case you were wondering.

At the hospital, Parrish sees the 23 bodies and immediately decides his twisted dream is coming true.

Make your voice a bullet.

Um, but if its bullet-resistant glass, that wont work, right?

Yeah, good luck, Lydia.

The twist, of course, is that it involves a lot of pain…for Malia.

And shes going after her tonight, despite the fact that Braeden doesnt think theyre prepared.

But Braeden isnt the only one feeling unprepared.

He tells his daughter that she can fight without it.

Her spirit is strong enough to outfox the fox.

Or at least, lets hope it is.

(Yeah, he followed him.)

Liam delivers Malias message to Scott before sort of talking his way around saying Im sorry.

Instead, he thinks he needs to save Scotts life to really make things right.

As Scott puts it, pretty sure youll get the chance.

Hey, what do you guys want to bet Liam risks his life to save Scott later this season?

With no guards (or lights), shes certain its a trap of some sort.

Oh, and obviously shes a perfect shot.

But Malia didnt come this far to turn back now.

Consequences be damned, she marches in as Braedan and Theo follow reluctantly behind.

As Stiles sits by her bedside, he begs Lydia to wake up.

Regardless, it takes about 30 seconds for her mom to enter and kick him out.

but Natalie swears its for electroconvulsive therapy.

Its time to do something about this situation.

And on the other side of that door is Argent…and Gerard.

As Liam puts it, Whos the old guy?

Oh, kid, you dont even want to know.

Argent explains that Gerard has knowledge when it comes to The Beast.

He then takes Scott and Liam to the epic Hellhound vs. Hey, its not something most people/anyone else can say.

And with one final test a flame to the eye Gerard gets his proof: Parrish is their Hellhound.

Ever better, is what comes next:

Parrish:What if you were wrong?

Would you have burned my eye out?

Parrish (to Argent):This guys your father?

Argent:Wasnt my choice.

NEXT: Malia vs. the Desert Wolf

Okay, okay.

After the long wait, lets finally get back to Malia and her situation inside Fort Jewett.

Fun fact: Theo is still the worst.

(So does having kids steal your supernatural abilities?)

That distraction allows Malia to fight back…at least until The Beast shows up.

Presented with a choice, Malia can either kill her mother or save Deaton.

As for Lydia, however, shes caught by guards and returned to Eichen.

Apparently, they dont care that all her friends are going to die.

After leaving Malia, Theo heads to meet up with his pack, which is looking rough.

Turns out, capturing Deucalion was not without its dangers.

But Theos not too concerned about their wounds because the fact is theyve got Deucalion.

Give Deucalion whatever he wants in exchange for a little lesson in how to steal another wolfs power.

(In this case, Theo wants to steal The Beasts power.)

And all the recently re-blinded Deucalion wants is…Scotts eyes on the tips of his claws.

Sounds like a fair deal, no?

Speaking of Scott, hes finally reunited with both Deacon and Malia.

And with that, Scotts pack is almost complete.

YEAH, YOU DO!
