[Lydia has just found a mythology book in the school's library and reads it aloud when she finds the passage she's looking for]
"Woden's Hunt, also known as the Wild Ride or Wild Hunt. A myth of devilish riders in the sky accompanied by dogs, spectral beasts whose eyes glowed with fire. A Bearer of Death and Guardian of the Supernatural, the black dog is also known by its more common name... the Hellhound."
[Theo has just trapped Scott in the library with a ring of mountain ash, and Scott looks at him with shock and anger]
You're right. A werewolf shouldn't even be able to touch mountain ash.
I'm the first chimera. It's the coyote part you don't notice. It's why Malia trusted me first, even though she probably didn't know it. You found the perfect word, though, Scott. Because a chimera isn't just a monster with different parts. It can also mean "something impossible to achieve." "An unrealizable dream."
They came close with me. But, we can't all be perfect. We can't all be True Alphas.
[A fully wolfed-out Liam has just found Scott on the roof after he realized Theo laced his inhaler with wolfsbane]
I can't save her-- at least not with a bite. If you'd just think about that for a second, Liam, you would know that I'm right.
[angrily] I am thinking! I'm thinking about alternatives.
Liam, it's the supermoon. It's feeding your anger. It's making you more aggressive.
It's making me stronger! You're gonna keep your promise, even if it kills you!
[Braeden and Malia are regrouping after Braeden saved Malia from Noah, a new chimera]
I don't know what's going on around here, but I'm guessing things are bad again.
Then this is going to sound worse, 'cause your plan...?
[Malia realizes what she's about to say]
Yeah. And she's coming. The Desert Wolf knows you're alive, and she's coming back to Beacon Hills.
Your dad was looking for you, Stiles. He found me instead.
I covered for you. This was taken care of. If Melissa didn't find it at the hospital... Guess even the son of a cop can make mistakes.
[angrily] Did you hurt him?
I never lied about why I came to Beacon Hills. I'm here for a pack. I came for the werecoyote, the one whose first instinct is to kill. I came for the banshee, the girl surrounded by death. I came for the dark kitsune, the Beta with anger issues... I came for Void Stiles! That's the pack I want. Unfortunately, it doesn't include Scott.
Your heartbeat's rising, Stiles. It's not because you're afraid. The Nogitsune is gone, but you've still got more blood on your hands than any of us.
[Stiles lunges for Theo and punches him in the face]
[Scott and Liam are circling around each other after they fell through the skylight of the library and landed inside]
He's using you, Liam. He wants you to be the Alpha because he can't take the power from me. Only you can. But, once you do, he'll take it from you. That's why he wants you to kill me.
That's what you don't get, Scott. I want to kill you! I want to!
[Mason has just saved Scott from Liam and is helping him walk out of the library]
[groans] It's the supermoon. It was just...
[Just then, Theo appears, looking furious]
Bad timing. I mean, seriously. You couldn't have waited five minutes?
[Theo backhands Mason so hard he is thrown onto the floor before turning back to Scott]
I should've stayed. I should've made sure.
[smirks] Because now you have to kill me yourself. [Theo glares at them] They're still mine.
Maybe not yet, but they'll come around.
Not for you. They're not like you. They never will be.
[sneers] Because I'm a chimera? Because I'm not a real werewolf?
Because you're barely even human.
[Theo becomes so furious that he plunges his claws into Scott's chest and rips it open, killing him]
[Melissa has just arrived to the library to find a stunned Mason kneeling next to Scott, who is laying motionless on the ground. Mason's hands are bloody, as though he tried to save Scott's life]
Scott! Scott! No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
[She rushes over to Scott and starts to do CPR]
Okay. One, two, three, four, five...
But his... his heart... He... he hasn't had a pulse in over fifteen minutes. You can't bring someone back that's--
[cuts him off] He's not someone. He's my son! And he's an Alpha, and he's too strong to die like this!
[She gives Scott two rescue breaths before returning to doing chest compressions]
Come on. You can do this. You're an Alpha. You're an Alpha. Come on, Scott! Roar! Come on! Come on, Scott! ROAR!
[She desperately slams her fists against Scott's chest, which causes him to awaken with a gasp, his eyes glowing red before he roars at the top of his lungs]
[Melissa is cleaning up Scott's wounds at home]
Every leader suffers loss. Sometimes more than you think is bearable.
[defeatedly] But this time, I lost everyone.
You'll get them back. You have to.
Why would they come back?
Because you're their leader. And even when a leader thinks they have nothing left to give, there's still one thing-- hope. Give them hope.
[Theo has just resurrected Hayden, Tracy, Corey, and Josh at the Nemeton with the Dread Doctors' green serum, and they all stand up and look at him in confusion and shock]
What... What's happening?
I'm your Alpha. And all of you? All of you belong to me.
[Theo turns and walks away, and the four resurrected chimeras reluctantly follow after him]
[The Dread Doctors have just uncovered a fresco painting behind a tiled wall in their laboratory that depicts a red-eyed black beastly werewolf fighting against an fiery-eyed Hellhound]
DDDread Doctors
[together] La Bête. La Bête. La Bête. La Bête.
[In a flashforward, Dr. Valack is instructing Lydia on how to use her newly-gained extrasensory perception after he drilled a hole into the side of her skull. In her vision, she's walking through the creek in the nature preserve where Theo's sister died]
I've amplified your abilities. Something that might just save the lives of your friends.
[about Theo and his sister] Why did he let her die? What did he want?
Her heart... He wanted her heart.
There's no record of a heart condition... But a transplant would make Theo a genetic chimera like the others. The hypothermic conditions would keep the organ viable. But why him? Why choose a ten-year-old willing to kill his own sister?
[weakly] Why do you care?
Because Theo was the first step in the right direction for the Dread Doctors. Think of who they are. Parascientists who have prolonged their lives and twisted the laws of Nature in pursuit of one goal-- the creation of the perfect killer.
But Theo doesn't know who the success is.
It doesn't matter. There's a reason they chose him, a reason he failed, a reason they changed their methods, and a reason the finally succeeded. It all starts with Theo.
When did you know for sure? That the Dread Doctors had succeeded?
[weakly] Scott and Stiles found out that night.
The night of the supermoon.
But they really didn't know it yet. There was too much going on. Liam had almost killed Scott. Kira was still gone. Malia was trying to find the Desert Wolf...
And Sheriff Stilinski was dying...
