[Lydia is sitting outside of Parrish's holding cell, where they're both leaning against the same part of the metal barred door]
Go home, Lydia. Stilinski isn't telling anyone where he put the bodies, and I'm pretty sure that I'm not psychic.
[softly] But you're drawn to death. Just like me.
Does that make me kind of a banshee? You find bodies, I find chimeras... Dead chimeras.
So, we're both harbingers of death.
I should probably add that to my resume.
[shrugs] It's on my college applications.
[Stiles and Malia are watching as Stiles' Jeep gets towed away]
There's not enough duct tape in the world to fix that thing.
Maybe you should find something other than duct tape.
[sighs] It's got a bad alternator. You know, needs all new belts, transmission's going, the brake pads are basically metal on metal...
[concerned] How come you let it get so bad?
There's been a few distractions, if you haven't noticed.
I notice. More than you think I do.
Does it help, knowing? Knowing what you are?
It doesn't scare me as much, that I know. Do I scare you?
It was the night I found that werewolf, the one with the talons. I thought I was going to die that night.
Because I saw you. I saw the banshee. But I guess it was just a dream or a hallucination.
[curiously] What was I doing?
[smiles] Well, sorry, but the banshee was mostly trying to stay out of the rain. That was the night of the storm, remember? The Wild Hunt.
Oh, it's something Kira was telling me. A myth about thunderstorms... Ghost Riders in the sky, and black dogs...
[Lydia is suddenly struck by a realization]
I need to check on something. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.
[Jordan makes a face at her]
[Malia has just dropped Stiles off at the Sheriff's station so he can talk to his dad]
Are you going to tell him about Donovan?
I guessed. I saw the bite on your shoulder while you were sleeping. It didn't matter to me. That's why I never said anything.
[sighs] It matters to me.
[Lydia has just found a mythology book in the school's library and reads it aloud when she finds the passage she's looking for]
"Woden's Hunt, also known as the Wild Ride or Wild Hunt. A myth of devilish riders in the sky accompanied by dogs, spectral beasts whose eyes glowed with fire. A Bearer of Death and Guardian of the Supernatural, the black dog is also known by its more common name... the Hellhound."
[Theo has just trapped Scott in the library with a ring of mountain ash, and Scott looks at him with shock and anger]
You're right. A werewolf shouldn't even be able to touch mountain ash.
I'm the first chimera. It's the coyote part you don't notice. It's why Malia trusted me first, even though she probably didn't know it. You found the perfect word, though, Scott. Because a chimera isn't just a monster with different parts. It can also mean "something impossible to achieve." "An unrealizable dream."
They came close with me. But, we can't all be perfect. We can't all be True Alphas.
[A fully wolfed-out Liam has just found Scott on the roof after he realized Theo laced his inhaler with wolfsbane]
I can't save her-- at least not with a bite. If you'd just think about that for a second, Liam, you would know that I'm right.
[angrily] I am thinking! I'm thinking about alternatives.
Liam, it's the supermoon. It's feeding your anger. It's making you more aggressive.
It's making me stronger! You're gonna keep your promise, even if it kills you!
[Braeden and Malia are regrouping after Braeden saved Malia from Noah, a new chimera]
I don't know what's going on around here, but I'm guessing things are bad again.
Then this is going to sound worse, 'cause your plan...?
[Malia realizes what she's about to say]
Yeah. And she's coming. The Desert Wolf knows you're alive, and she's coming back to Beacon Hills.
Your dad was looking for you, Stiles. He found me instead.
I covered for you. This was taken care of. If Melissa didn't find it at the hospital... Guess even the son of a cop can make mistakes.
[angrily] Did you hurt him?
I never lied about why I came to Beacon Hills. I'm here for a pack. I came for the werecoyote, the one whose first instinct is to kill. I came for the banshee, the girl surrounded by death. I came for the dark kitsune, the Beta with anger issues... I came for Void Stiles! That's the pack I want. Unfortunately, it doesn't include Scott.
Your heartbeat's rising, Stiles. It's not because you're afraid. The Nogitsune is gone, but you've still got more blood on your hands than any of us.
[Stiles lunges for Theo and punches him in the face]
[Scott and Liam are circling around each other after they fell through the skylight of the library and landed inside]
He's using you, Liam. He wants you to be the Alpha because he can't take the power from me. Only you can. But, once you do, he'll take it from you. That's why he wants you to kill me.
That's what you don't get, Scott. I want to kill you! I want to!
[Mason has just saved Scott from Liam and is helping him walk out of the library]
[groans] It's the supermoon. It was just...
[Just then, Theo appears, looking furious]
Bad timing. I mean, seriously. You couldn't have waited five minutes?
[Theo backhands Mason so hard he is thrown onto the floor before turning back to Scott]
I should've stayed. I should've made sure.
[smirks] Because now you have to kill me yourself. [Theo glares at them] They're still mine.
Maybe not yet, but they'll come around.
Not for you. They're not like you. They never will be.
[sneers] Because I'm a chimera? Because I'm not a real werewolf?
Because you're barely even human.
[Theo becomes so furious that he plunges his claws into Scott's chest and rips it open, killing him]
[Melissa has just arrived to the library to find a stunned Mason kneeling next to Scott, who is laying motionless on the ground. Mason's hands are bloody, as though he tried to save Scott's life]
Scott! Scott! No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
[She rushes over to Scott and starts to do CPR]
Okay. One, two, three, four, five...
But his... his heart... He... he hasn't had a pulse in over fifteen minutes. You can't bring someone back that's--
[cuts him off] He's not someone. He's my son! And he's an Alpha, and he's too strong to die like this!
[She gives Scott two rescue breaths before returning to doing chest compressions]
Come on. You can do this. You're an Alpha. You're an Alpha. Come on, Scott! Roar! Come on! Come on, Scott! ROAR!
[She desperately slams her fists against Scott's chest, which causes him to awaken with a gasp, his eyes glowing red before he roars at the top of his lungs]
[Melissa is cleaning up Scott's wounds at home]
Every leader suffers loss. Sometimes more than you think is bearable.
[defeatedly] But this time, I lost everyone.
You'll get them back. You have to.
Why would they come back?
Because you're their leader. And even when a leader thinks they have nothing left to give, there's still one thing-- hope. Give them hope.
[Theo has just resurrected Hayden, Tracy, Corey, and Josh at the Nemeton with the Dread Doctors' green serum, and they all stand up and look at him in confusion and shock]
What... What's happening?
I'm your Alpha. And all of you? All of you belong to me.
[Theo turns and walks away, and the four resurrected chimeras reluctantly follow after him]
