[Meredith and Lydia are talking to each other through their telepathic Banshee connection while Lydia lays catatonic in bed]

You have to wake up.

What if I can't?

Then you won't be able to help your friends, and they'll die without you.

How am I supposed to help them like this?

You learned to fight, didn't you?

Only a little.

You learned more than you think you did, and faster than an ordinary person would.

But that doesn't matter now.

It does, because I'll teach you the rest. I'm going to show you how to use your voice. How to use it as a weapon.

[Theo has just intervened after Scott defeated the rest of the Chimeras in his pack]

Okay, maybe they're not ready to take on an Alpha. Especially one that can smell fear.

[defensively] He's got fangs!

[Theo is talking to Scott and Stiles about the Beast]

You're going to leave here thinking that you need to worry about me, but you're wrong. We're actually back on the same side, because that thing? That's what we need to worry about-- your pack, and mine. We're gonna go back to school and pretend like we're normal teenagers. But at night, we're going to be fighting for our lives.

What is it?

It's not a Chimera.

But it's just a kid underneath. Someone like us.

Not anymore.

[Hayden has just come to talk to Liam at the animal clinic]

Did you really almost kill Scott to save me?

[embarrassed] It was a supermoon? But... yeah, I guess I did.

That's really screwed up, Liam. He's one of your best friends.

Yeah... And now you're with Theo, who told me to kill him.

[sighs] Something's different now. I don't know why, but ever since coming back, nothing feels the same. Nothing feels right.

[slightly hurt] Nothing?

...Except for you. You're the only thing that feels the same. The only thing that feels right. I guess, I just want to know... how you feel about me.

[Scott is sitting next to Stiles on the floor while Stiles recovers from the kanima venom from Tracy's claws and groans when he realizes Theo purposely destroyed the message left in mercury by the Dread Doctors]

He knew what it meant, and I can't remember the words.

[sighs] Damnatio Memoriae. It means the condemnation of memory. I think it also means that whatever the Dread Doctors created, whatever this last Chimera really is, it's not something new. It's something old. Really old.

So, they didn't create a new creature...

[grimly] They resurrected one.

[Argent has just cured Gerard by giving him a yellow wolfsbane plant to eat. Once he's finished, Gerard stands to his feet and looks at Argent with mild exasperation]

All this to help Scott?

You know about the Dread Doctors, don't you?

So, they did succeed?

[annoyed] Tell me what it is.

Oh, not what it is. What it was. A monster whose only purpose was to kill. Not for sustenance, not for revenge, not for any rational impulse other than the drive to end life wherever it's found. It also has a rather personal connection to our family.

[shocked] La Bête.

[smirks] The Beast of Gévaudan.

We need help. If Theo's got his own pack now, then we need ours. We have to get the others back.

The others? You mean Kira, who's currently battling a homicidal fox spirit inside of her; Malia, who isn't even speaking to either one of us; Lydia, who's stuck in Eichen House; and Liam, who almost killed you?

[smiles] Also known as our best friends.

[sighs] Okay. How?

One at a time.

[Kira and Noshiko have just arrived to Shiprock, New Mexico, where they're in the middle of the desert]

How do we find them?

Skinwalkers are powerful shapeshifters, and not particularly welcoming to strangers on their land. They'll find us.

[Kira has just been beaten in battle with the three Skinwalkers, one of which has pinned her against a large boulder by impaling her in the shoulder with her spear. The three Skinwalkers look at her curiously for a moment while Noshiko watches anxiously, and they speak in distorted voices]

S1Skinwalker 1

She's frightened... But she's not frightened of us.

S2Skinwalker 2

Of herself.

Can you help her?

S1Skinwalker 1

We can try.

S2Skinwalker 2

If not, she stays.

What... What does that mean?

S1Skinwalker 1

If we can't help you, you'll stay and become one of us. A Skinwalker.

S2Skinwalker 2

You'll walk with us under the sun, through the dust.

Forever.

[Stiles is working on fixing up his Jeep in the garage when Scott joins him after rejecting Liam's request to go with them to find Kira in Shiprock, New Mexico]

So, what did he want?

To help.

You gonna let him?

[sighs] Eventually... I guess.

Okay, but shouldn't he be a little higher on your priority list right now? I mean, since he's the only other actual werewolf-- your only actual Beta.

You didn't see the way that he came at me. You didn't see the look in his eyes...

Well, I've been with you on a full moon, so I've seen that look. [He sighs and closes the hood to the Jeep] You want to get the band back together, Scott? You don't leave out the drummer.

[Tracy and Theo are at the high school looking for the Beast, where they have found a message scrawled on the lockers-- "DAMNATIO MEMORIAE"]

It's the same message, isn't it? What are they trying to tell it?

Trying to get it to remember who it was.

But isn't it just a teenager like us? Isn't it just a kid underneath?

They don't care about that. The Doctors, they needed a body because they couldn't resurrect the Beast out of thin air. That kid underneath, whoever it is, is just a side effect. All the Doctors care about is the Beast.

So, what happens when it does remember?

I'm not sure. The thing probably doesn't even know it turns back to human during the day.

I read that the Beast of Gévaudan killed 113 people. Is that true?

[smirks] No. The Doctors told me it was closer to 500.

[The Doctors have just found Theo and Tracy and have just defeated Tracy in a fight]

Leave.

Where is it?

You already have your pack.

It wasn't enough. [He flashes his gold Chimera eyes] Look at my eyes. They look red to you? I'm not an Alpha. I'm not even a real werewolf!

[The third Skinwalker is wrapping up Kira's injured shoulder inside a small hut]

This will speed the healing.

[sarcastically] You could have just not thrown a spear at me.

You had a sword. You could have used it.

I thought I did...

You were afraid to use the sword. I showed you I wasn't afraid to use the spear.

[Noshiko has just come in to check on Kira]

What happens now?

They're going to test you. Tonight. It's not going to be easy.

Have they mentioned anything about fixing me?

They have their methods. It takes time.

[anxiously] How much time? Days?

[grimly] Months. Or years.

Are you kidding?!

[sternly] Don't think I take this lightly, Kira.

[desperately] Mom, years?

You're Kitsune. You have centuries.

What about my friends? What about Scott?

[tearfully] If this part of you becomes too powerful, it will consume you. Do you understand what that means? You wont even exist anymore.

So, this is it? This is all I've got? I pass their test and then I can spend a couple months, or, if I'm really lucky, years, learning from a couple of crazy, half-naked women carrying spears and wearing animal pelts?

You carry a sword and you wear a leather jacket. We're not so different from them.

What if they can't help me? Do I really become one of them?

If you become a Skinwalker and stay with them, it could keep you alive. It could be the only thing that saves you.

All the myths about Skinwalkers say they're evil.

[smiles weakly] They say the same thing about Kitsune.
