Lydia and Meredith in “Unfinished Business”

Lydia

Are you okay? I guess you are, aren't you? For someone who'd put their own name on a hit list...

Meredith

I had to.

Lydia

Why?

Meredith

Because I heard you. I heard you scream in the tunnels at Oak Creek. [Lydia flashes back to when Allison was killed and she wailed for her death] That's why I knew it was the right time to start over.

Lydia

But with Peter?

Meredith

He's the alpha. He's always been the alpha. He'll make it right. It never was with us. Too many people die because of us. We're the monsters. Even banshees. Even me.

Lydia

[shakes her head] I don't believe that. Not all monsters do monstrous things.

Meredith

Like who?

Lydia

Like Scott.

Meredith

Like you.
