My mother told me you were a man of vision once. We're letting you go because we hope you can be that man again.
But if you're not, then having your eyesight won't matter, because you'll never see us coming.

I always said aluminum was better than wood.
How did you do that?
I'm an Alpha now. So, whatever you're doing to cause the storm, make it stop, or I'll kill you myself. I don't care what it does to the color of my eyes.
It won't change the color of mine, so allow me.
Do you think you can come get us?
Yeah, of course.
Uh, bring a ladder.
We're going to have a new code. Nous protègeons ceux qui ne peuvent pas se protèger eux-měmes.
[smiles] "We protect those who cannot protect themselves."
[laughs bitterly] Of course it's you. Everyone else suffers, but somehow, you come out on top. And now that Scott's an Alpha, you'll be able to steal it from him. You'll be an Alpha again.
Again? Again?! I am the Alpha. I've always been the Alpha!
Have you ever had a dream where you feel like you're about to wake up, but you can't move or talk? It happens because during REM sleep, your body is basically paralyzed. It's called muscle atonia. That way, if you start dreaming about running, you don't actually start running in your bed.
That makes sense.
But sometimes, your mind can wake up before your body does. So, for this split second, you're actually aware that your body is paralyzed.
And that's the terrifying part?
It turns your dream into a nightmare. You can feel like you're falling, like you're being strangled, or, in my case, like you're in the center of a grove of magical trees where human sacrifices took place.
What do you mean?
I mean, you didn't kiss her, did you?
No! Absolutely not. No.
...Did you want to?
Oh yeah, totally.
[to Scott and Isaac] You two supernatural teenage boys! Don't test my entirely un-supernatural level of patience!
Well, well, well. Look who's no longer the crazy one.
We're not crazy!
Hallucinating? Sleep paralysis? Yeah, you guys are fine.
We did die and come back to life. That's gotta have some side effects, right?
[reads aloud] "Strange sighting of bipedal lizard-man sprinting across freeway."
[sighs] Kanima pile.
Okay, so what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?
And is unable to tell what's real or not?
And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?
They're all locked up because they're insane.
Ha, ha. Can you at least try to be helpful?
For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer. So, being helpful is kind of a new thing for me.
Demons?...Why not?
You told me you and Stiles learned a way to control this. You find an anchor, right? Find your anchor.
[groans in pain] My anchor was Allison. I don't have Allison anymore.
Then be your own anchor.
[to Scott] Sweetheart, let me tell you something no teenager ever believes, but I swear to you is the absolute truth-- you fall in love more than once. It'll happen again. And it'll be just as amazing and extraordinary as the first time. And maybe just as painful. But it will happen again, I promise. And, until then-- be your own anchor.
