Melissa quotes from Teen Wolf

Stiles

Blackouts, but not for that long... And sleepwalking, which I used to do a lot as a kid. Um, also having some really bad anxiety.

Melissa

Panic attacks?

Stiles

Yeah, a couple. Oh, and I temporarily lost the ability to read. But, that might have had more to do with this giant magic tree and the whole human-sacrifice thing...

Melissa

[smiles] I recall something vaguely about that, yes.

Melissa

Been feeling irritable?

Stiles

Yeah, possibly to the point of homicide.

Melissa

Inability to focus?

Stiles

No, the Adderall's not working.

Melissa

Impulsive behavior?

Stiles

More than my usual? Hard to tell.

Melissa

Vivid dreams during the day?

Stiles

Okay, basically all of the above.

Melissa

Get some rest.

Stiles

Thanks, Mom.

Scott

Have you been here all night?

Yeah. They won't let me see him because I'm not family. I told them he doesn't have any.

Melissa

He's got us. And, I have a key-card.

Really, Melissa? I shed one tear, that's all it takes? Come on. You can't crumble that easily. How are you going to hold up when Scott knows the truth?

Melissa

[confused] What?

When he finds out why his dad really left? You know he overheard it, right? [beat] You had no idea! You called Stilinski right after it happened. You didn't tell Scott, but you told the Sheriff. Hmmm. But, Stiles overheard it, like he hears everything. But, you want to know why he never told Scott? Because he knew Scott would never forgive you. He knew how much he would hate you.

Melissa

[trying to hold back her fury] This isn't you, Stiles.

[smirks] It is now!

Melissa

Well, medically, you seem okay. You're definitely a real person.

Stiles

Okay, so, I'm real, but am I really me?

Melissa

Braeden, look at me. You were shot, but you're in the hospital now, and you're fine. Do you understand? Good. Last night, you were in the woods, and you came across another pack? Do you know what happened to them?

Derek

I told you, they were poisoned.

Braeden

[shakes her head] No. No, they were infected. It was a virus designed to kill werewolves. And it did. It killed them all.

Melissa

[about their children] Why are we doing this? Why are we asking them to fight these kinds of fights?

Noshiko

Because otherwise, we'd be asking them to run and hide.

Noshiko

I'm guessing the power doesn't go out often in this hospital.

Melissa

Only when under attack by supernatural creatures.

His claws were different-- twice the size of Scott's. More like talons.

Melissa

If that's the worst part, that doesn't sound too bad...

It's worse. They did something to me. I don't know how to describe it, other than it felt as if the life was being drawn out of me through them. Through the claws.

Melissa

And now he's looking for Scott?

Which got me thinking about what this guy can do. The rule is you have to kill an Alpha to steal their power, right?

Melissa

Yeah, except it's different for Scott.

You can't steal a True Alpha's power.

I think this guy can.

Scott

Let me see it. Let me see his arm.

Scott

Holy-- What is that?

Melissa

The lab says scorpion venom.

Scott

Scorpion?

Melissa

I know. But, that's not the weirdest part... Because a sting this bad means that he should have been dead ten hours ago, and the scorpion that stung him would have been ten feet tall.

Kira

[horrified] Please tell me that doesn't mean there's a giant scorpion running around Beacon Hills...

Corey

[weakly] Lucas... It was Lucas.

Scott

I should've done better. I... I... I should've known that this was going to happen. I should've been able to stop it.

Melissa

You know, your grandfather used to have a saying about the word "should." You know what you're doing when you say "should" too often? You're should-ing all over yourself!

Melissa

I know that I can't be the mom that says "I don't want you to do anything about this," 'cause you're always going to be involved. Because not only do you have the power to do something, you care enough to do it. So, all you really need to ask yourself is-- "What am I going to do?"

Scott

[determinedly] I'm going to find out who did this... and I'm going to stop them.

They're not Dread Scientists. They're Dread Doctors.

Melissa

So now you're looking for a medical connection?

Or a medical condition. Something that Tracy, Lucas, and Donovan could've all had in common.

I thought you said you, uh, you had a situation?

Melissa

[nervously] Yes, but complicated. If you come in, I need you to leave your badge at the door.

[confused] Uh... Literally or figuratively?

Melissa

[unamused] Both would be preferable.

This is your official statement?

Melissa

[plays dumb] Something wrong?

[frustratedly] The part about finding the body in your kitchen works fine. But then, it gets a little confusing when you describe the body as a "monstrous chimera," and then go on about werewolves, banshees, kanimas...

Melissa

[sarcastically] You're right! I forgot about the Dread Doctors.
