[Josh, Tracy, and Theo are arguing over who should wear the Dread Doctor helmet while Deucalion watches]

[to Josh] Are you not getting that it could kill us? You're the one with the power.

They want you to wear it, Josh, because the properties of the mask are based in electromagnetism. Pick it up, and you'll see.

[about the mask] What is this thing?

The product of genius and madness-- two traits too often found in the same mind. The man who created the first was known only as "The Surgeon." Using practices in the farthest edges of pseudoscience, he harnessed electromagnetic fields in the masks, infusing them with a unique and deadly power.

[Sheriff and Lydia have just confronted Parrish on his way to leave town]

[frustrated] You're both out of your minds! You know that?

You can't leave.

I can't stay! I'm a Hellhound. I have the word "Hell" in my name. Hell!

You guys don't get it. The bodies I see in my dreams are because of me. And there's gonna be more-- a lot more.

I've been predicting death longer than you. The things I've seen and felt... They don't always happen.

What if those people die because you didn't stay?

Because you weren't there to protect them? You said you were drawn to Beacon Hills. I think you're here for a reason.

[Braeden and Malia are talking to Stiles at the McCall House]

You know how my mother wants to kill me? I think she might want to kill you, too.

Okay. Uh, that's disconcerting. I should probably have a gun...

[Braeden scoffs and makes a face]

I'm not giving you a gun!

You have a gun. The Desert Wolf-- who is trying to kill me-- has a gun. I think I should probably have a gun!

[Malia gives Braeden a look, and Braeden sighs before removing the clip from one of her handguns and tossing it to Stiles, who hilariously fumbles with it helplessly until he drops it on the floor. Braeden gives him a "I told you so" look, and Stiles looks embarrassed]

I probably shouldn't have a gun...

[Tracy, Josh, and Theo are still talking about the Beast in the Dread Doctors' lair while Deucalion watches. Tracy holds out the jar with Belasko's talons]

What about this?

They're useless if we don't know who it is.

Actually, they're just useless. Didn't Hayden mention that? Where is she, by the way? I hope her moment of dissent didn't turn into actual desertion. [He inhales deeply] What about the other one? Corey? None of us can see him, blind or otherwise, so I'm guessing he's not here either.

[annoyed] I'm leaving.

Oh, there goes another. [He looks at Theo] Your circle of trust is narrowing.

Tell me, Tracy-- just how powerless were you before this all happened? In my experience, it's the truly powerless who are all too eager to demonstrate their new-found strength. So, allow me to demonstrate something more helpful to our cause.

[He easily stands up and pulls the wolfsbane IV out of his arm]

Trust. I told you I wanted Scott McCall's eyes. That's why I let you take me. Why I've been a willing guest this entire time.

[Kira is trying to convince her father to put her sword back together]

As your father, I'm obliged to warn you this is dangerous.

As my father, I was hoping you wouldn't tell my mother.

[smiles] That's dangerous, too.

[sighs] I get it, Dad. I need to learn balance. I can't learn balance with the sword-- the sword brings out the Fox.

You know it's more complicated than that. Learning balance is critical to controlling the Fox.

What if the sword is critical to saving my friends?

It's just a weapon, Kira. You're the critical part.

I've got eight hundred years to learn balance. We need to help Mason right now. I need my sword.

[sighs] It was forged with a unique power. It takes a certain power to put it back together again. You're going to need help.

[sighs] Okay. What now?

I teach you what you're so desperate to learn.

[Deucalion lunges for him and breaks Theo's arm]

Feel that, Theo? That's the secret to taking power. Pain.

[Deucalion starts to take Theo's pain]

Take their pain, take their life, take their power. It's all or nothing. You take until there's nothing more to give. That's where you'll find the spark of power. And then, you take that as well. Pain, life, power. In that order and only that order.

[Theo has just killed Josh and has absorbed his powers]

I can feel it.

[rolls his eyes] Good. 'Cause you just cost yourself one member of a small and inexperienced pack.

[to Tracy] What do you think?

I think he was small and inexperienced. And, if you've got his power now, you can put on the mask.

This kind of power requires risk, Theo. Do it. Put on the mask. Discover the Beast's identity and guarantee your place as an Alpha. As a real werewolf.

I told you we'd end up on the same side.

[smirks] How about I punch you in the balls to remind you we're not?

[laughs] I love this kid.

[scoffs] I don't.

[Theo is talking about the body in the tank that the Dread Doctors keep in their laboratory with Scott and Liam]

They called him Der Soldat. That's German for "The Soldier." I'm pretty sure he fought in World War II.

And he was a Nazi?

And an Alpha werewolf. The Dread Doctors were using him to prolong their lives. They've been doing it for decades. Actually, probably longer.

How old are these guys?

Who knows? But wherever they go, he goes, too.
