[Malia, Kira, Josh, and Corey are locked in the morgue of Eichen House and are talking about the McCall Pack's plans]
Anybody know how we're supposed to get out of here? This place is still in lockdown.
Yeah, I can feel it, too. What are we supposed to do? Just wait here?
There's a Plan B. We've got a guy on the outside in case this happens.
[shocked] Mason's going to unlock the lockdown? How's he going to do that?
He's got the blueprints of the building, and he has the full map of Eichen's electrical system. All he has to do is get into the transformer shed behind the building.
Don't worry-- Mason knows exactly what he's doing.
[The scene cuts to behind Eichen House, where Mason is holding his cell phone to his ear with one hand and gaping in horror at the blueprints in his other hand while he leaves Liam a voicemail]
Liam, call me back-- I have no idea what I'm doing.
This teenager, Lydia, is the last genetic chimera. A young man or young woman, maybe even someone you know. A success where Theo and the others were failures.
But we went through the list of genetic chimeras. There's no one else.
There must be one you missed. Another way they could have two sets of DNA. If you could see the face of this teenager, discover it's identity, then your friends would stand a fighting chance. The mask can help you see.
[Stiles has just finally found Lydia after her scream killed Valack]
We're getting you out of here, okay?
[panicked] You can't! It's too dangerous.
Lydia, please shut up and let me save your life?
[Mason is trying to psych himself up to end the lockdown by wrecking his car into the transformer]
Okay, here we go. Gonna ram the wall. Gonna ram it with my car. Just smash through it. Take out the power, and save my friends. Here we go. All right. Just ram it, and destroy my beautiful car, that my parents bought me on my birthday... but I'mma save my friends. Here we go. Ram the wall. All right.
[Mason is about to hit the gas pedal when Hayden suddenly arrives and stops him]
What the hell are you doing?
[sighs in relief] Oh, thank God! Can we use your car?
[Stiles is trying to support Lydia as they rush through the tunnels as quickly as Lydia can move]
Okay, you gotta try to stay on your feet. The plan didn't work out too well, so I'm gonna need your help, okay?
[surprised] You had a plan?
Yeah. It was good on paper. Not too much in reality.

Could somebody please get my daughter out of this hellhole?
[Parrish is sleeping fitfully on his couch while Argent stands guard over him. Parrish narrates his conversation with Argent in voiceover as he goes into a Hellhound-trance and leaves, causing Argent to follow after him]
[voiceover] It happens every night. I don't know when, and I don't know what triggers it, but at some point every night, I leave. When I come back, I find burned clothes and blood. If I didn't know certain things, I'd call it "sleepwalking." But I'm not just wandering out the door. I'm heading out with purpose. I'm searching for something. That's why I need you to follow me. I need to know where I'm going and what I'm doing. If people are getting hurt because of me... If I'm adding to the body count... I have to know. When I wake up at night, when it takes over, I want you to follow me. And, if you have to... I want you to stop me.
[The Beast has just revealed itself in a school bus full of slaughtered teenagers. Argent, Scott, Stiles, and Liam stare in horror as Hellhound-Parrish and the Beast run away]
[horrified] That's big. No one said it was that big!
[Melissa is leaving Malia and Braeden at the McCall House]
I'm leaving for my shift. You guys think you'll be okay for the night?
[Braeden cocks her shotgun in answer]
Do we really need to do this? Deaton said the Desert Wolf can't get her power back unless she comes for me on a full moon.
Just because there are rules to taking power doesn't mean she plans to follow them.
Yeah, well, I've come up with a rule of my own--
[She pours a line of mountain ash across the threshold of the back door to complete the barrier built into the house]
[Corey has just showed Mason the burns from where Parrish set him on fire]
This is life in Beacon Hills. This is what happens. It doesn't hurt, it's just taking forever to heal.
But you are healing. Maybe it's taking longer because of how bad you were hurt, but it's happening. I mean, look at you. You can make yourself invisible. You're fast. You're strong. People like me need people like you to save our asses. I need you.
No, you don't. You're too smart to need anyone, and it's the smart ones who always survive.
Look, Scott's going to have a plan. They always do. A couple of weeks ago, he brought Hayden in here with cell phone jammers to block the frequency of the Dread Doctors--
[Suddenly, Mason has a dawning realization and gasps in shock]
Follow me. It's frequency-- every time the Beast shows up. Liam and Hayden saw it at the cell transmission towers. The attack downtown happened right near the Radio-Astronomy Observatory. Uh, Deaton was attacked by the Beast at an Army base which has huge radar arrays...
The Beast always shows up near a transmission source. What if that's how the Dread Doctors are doing it? By broadcasting a high-frequency transmission?
So, we should be looking for some kind of transmission?
We don't have to look. The local news always covers the game. There could be two, maybe three vans-- all of them transmitting.
[horrified] Are you saying that thing's going to be out there tonight?
I'm saying... People are going to die. A lot of people.
Stiles, I'm... I'm not so sure I actually have that authority.
[incredulously] You're the County Sheriff! You can't cancel a high school lacrosse game?
It's a charity game, which generates tens of thousands of dollars. I'd have to go to the school board with evidence of a credible threat.
A giant werewolf might rampage across the field killing people! That's an incredible threat!
[Scott and Stiles have just showed up to the rehab center to visit Coach Finstock and convince him to coach the charity game]
So, why don't you guys get the hell out of here? I hate charity games. They're meaningless.
I don't think the charities would agree...
[sighs] What's it for this year?
[exasperated] Against, Coach! Deeply against!
Yeah? Okay, well, I'm deeply not interested.
[Argent and Gerard have just suggested that they lower Parrish's body temperature to talk to the Hellhound inside of him]
Well, the Beast is not just getting smarter. Imagine it this way: each night, the teenage Chimera--
[nods] This teenager goes out into the night and transforms. Whether it's a young man or young woman, they become a werewolf. A very large, very powerful werewolf the people of Gévaudan called the Beast. Every night it transforms, it remembers a little more of who it used to be.
It yearns for its identity. Its name. Not just the Beast of Gévaudan, but the man.
The Man of Gévaudan, who wants to live, too. He wants to exist. So, imagine that one night, the teenager goes out and transforms again. But when the Beast transforms back, the Man of Gévaudan stands there instead.
Fully realized. Alive once again.
That's what Valack meant. He said when the Beast remembers, the teenager would be gone.
Gone? Like, no longer exists? How's that even possible?
[Argent, Gerard and Lydia all give him a look, and he rolls his eyes]
