[Scott, Kira, Stiles, Malia, Liam, and Mason are all going over their plan for the evening]
Just out of curiosity, what if it doesn't work? What if we have to go up against this thing? I mean, I hate to bring up bad memories, but Scott's still healing from what Theo did to him.
[smiles] She's right. [He lifts his shirt and reveals that his wounds have healed] It happened the night we got Lydia out of Eichen House. I healed... when we were all together again. When we were a pack.
The Beast doesn't have a pack.
Not like us. We can do this, guys. No one dies tonight.
[After Parrish's body temperature is lowered, Argent and Gerard gesture to Lydia]
This part is for you, Lydia. You're the one who can reach him.
Okay... Who am I talking to?
Cerberus. Garmr. Black Shuck. I've had many names.
How about Jordan Parrish? [Parrish remains silent] Do you know who I am?
What about Jordan Parrish?
Jordan Parrish died. There is no Jordan Parrish.
[Malia has jumped from one news broadcast van to the other to cut their frequency cables, only for the Desert Wolf to appear and grab her by the ankle, causing her to fall onto the ground with a hard thud. She groans in pain and annoyance as she flips over onto her back]
To be honest, I'm totally up for killing you right now, but I've got other priorities.
I can see that. Got something against the local news? Somebody run a broadcast you didn't like?
Somebody's about to, and since I know you're not going to try to kill me until there's a full moon, get out of my way.
[Malia tries to shove past her, but the Desert Wolf blocks her way, and she sighs in annoyance]
[scoffs] People die every day, sweetheart.
[frustrated] Stop calling me that! You don't get to call me sweetheart.
All right. What if there's a compromise? What if you come with me? We can try to solve our little predicament, and maybe I start calling you "daughter?"
We need more time. You've gotta stop scoring.
[frustrated] You don't think I'm trying? You guys suck. You suck so bad it's impossible to lose against you.
So what are we supposed to do?
[Hayden has just walked up to the bench to talk to Liam after overhearing his earlier conversation with Scott]
I'm with you. All of you.
Because you're right about Scott. Whatever happens next... I want to be with you.
[Lydia continues to talk to the Hellhound spirit within Parrish's body]
What are you talking about? How is Parrish dead?
He's a body. A means to an end. I am beyond life and death. I am infinite. I have no use for your Deputy.
Your Deputy won't kill the Beast.
Neither will you! I'm a Harbinger of Death, too. I know people are going to die. And if you do not let Parrish in, he will die, too. You'll die! You have a chance with Parrish. You need him.
Lydia, tell him to remember.
Tell him to remember the moment Parrish died.
[to Parrish] When did he die?
[Suddenly, he's overwhelmed with flashbacks cutting between Parrish being blown up by a bomb in Afghanistan and Scott, Allison and Stiles going into the ice baths for the surrogate sacrifice ritual in Season 3's "Alpha Pact"]
[In flashbacks to the mid-1700s, Sebastien Valet writes a letter to his sister while hiding under a tree in the rain]
[voiceover] Dear Marie-Jeanne, I wish I had better news to report. But, even with the support of our Indian allies, we are losing this war to the British. We have heard news that Montreal has fallen. Marcel and I have both suffered injuries. All that keeps us alive is the hope of seeing our home again, and of seeing you, my sister.
[Sebastien and Marcel have just taken cover inside of a small cabin with candles in the window, where they are confronted by a woman]
CColette
You can't be here. You don't understand-- you've come to the wrong place to hide.
CColette
There's something out there. Something other than the British soldiers.
What do you mean, "other?"
CColette
A creature of the night.
MMarcel
Don't listen to her.
CColette
A shapeshifter. A demon.
CColette
[fearfully] A Demon Wolf.
[Gerard is telling the story of Sebastien and Marie-Jeanne to Argent, Lydia, and Parrish]
That letter would eventually find its way into the hands of a young woman. A skilled hunter who would later face the Beast, armed with nothing but a steel-tipped pike. She would be known by history as "The Maid of Gévaudan," but her real name was Marie-Jeanne.
[about Marie-Jeanne] Maybe someone should resurrect her.
Parrish; My dreams aren't like yours, Lydia. I'm not just a Harbinger of Death-- I'm the cause of it.
[Parrish leaves, and Lydia attempts to chase after him, only to be stopped by Gerard and Argent]
Because as much as we believe Parrish could take on the Beast... Neither of us think he's our only hope at stopping it.
We think there's another. You.
[Stiles and Hayden have just brought a seriously-injured Liam into an empty classroom. Both Hayden and Stiles are horrified when they lay him on a desk and peel away his tattered jersey to reveal his chest and abdomen have been shredded open]
Okay. Okay. What do you guys usually do when this happens?
[woozily] Uh, I usually pass out... And I think I might still do that...
[Hayden has just taken Liam's pain by kissing him, causing her to use her werewolf ability to siphon the pain through her darkened blood vessels. Stiles looks impressed when Liam finally starts to relax and heal]
Okay. Next time, I'll kiss him!
Marie-Jeanne was a lot like you, Lydia. Skeptical of her own abilities, and, once, actually just as skeptical of the supernatural.
