You can't just go around
Turning people into werewolves.
I can if they're willing.
Scott, I'm trying to break up
With you.
It's okay, because I know
we're gonna be together.
It's their symbol, and it
means they're coming.
Who?
An alpha pack.
And they're not coming.
They're already here.
Quiet.
Stay with me.
We're almost there.
My neck.
From their claws.
It's how they share memories.
But I don't remember
Anything.
Also how they steal them.
Listen to me, no matter what
Happens you hold on, okay?
You hold on tight.
I hear something.
Someone's coming.
Faster!
Two of them.
No!
Remember what I said before?
Hold on?
Hold on!
Whoa!
Isaac?
Stay with me!
Isaac!
Get down!
I thought I told you to hold
On.
Boy, it's a good thing
you drew me a picture.
Hey, scott, sure you don't
want something like this?
Too soon?
Yeah.
I don't know, man, are you sure
I mean, these things are pretty
permanent, you know?
I'm not changing my mind.
Okay, but why two bands?
I just like it.
But don't you think your
first tattoo should have some
sort of meaning, you know, or
something?
Getting a tattoo means
Something.
I don't think that's--
He's right, tattooing goes
back thousands of years.
the tahitian word "tatua" means
"to leave a mark."
Like a rite of passage.
Yeah, you see?
He gets it.
He's covered in tattoos,
Scott, literally.
Okay, you ready?
You ain't got any problems with
needles, do you?
Nope.
I tend to get a little
Squeamish though, so...
Oh, man.
You okay?
Kinda burns.
Yes, you just had your skin
stabbed about 100,000 times
with a needle.
Yeah, but I don't think it's
supposed to feel like this.
No, it's definitely not supposed
to feel like this.
Oh, I gotta take this thing off.
No, no, no, no, scott.
Oh, scott, please stop.
Whoa, whoa.
Oh, no, what?
No, no, come on.
It healed.
Ah, thank god.
I hated it.
Sorry.
It is not a double date.
It is a group thing.
Do they know it's a group
thing?
Cause I told you that I'm not
Ready to get back out there.
You were in France and didn't
Do any dating for four months?
Did you?
I mean, after--
Do not say his name.
I mean, did everything work out?
well, the doctors looked like
total idiots when he turned up
alive, but everyone got over it.
And yes, Derek taught him
the werewolf 101, like how not
to randomly kill people during
a full moon.
So then you've talked to him?
uh, not since he left for
London.
You mean since his dad moved
Him to london.
Whatever, he left.
And seriously, an american
werewolf in london?
Like, that's not gonna be
a disaster.
So you're totally over him?
Would I be going on a double
date if I wasn't?
Yes, it is a double date.
it's not an orgy.
You'll live.
Nah, we agreed to give each
other the summer.
No texts, no calls.
So then how do you know she
won't be back at school then?
After everything that
Happened, I'm not sure she's
coming back at all.
I think she is.
I'd say pretty definite, you
know.
Like one hundred percent.
Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
Oh, my god. I can't see him,
Not now.
Can we just drive please,
Stiles?
Scott, it's a red light.
Will you go? Just go!
But the light.
I think we should talk to
her, I just think we should
No. No, no, stiles, come on.
Oh, my god, dude, no.
Hey!
You know, they probably didn't
see us.
You all right?
What are you doing?
I'm driving.
We're right behind them.
Okay, well, do you see any
I don't want it to look like
well, what do you want me to
do?
I don't know, anything.
Lydia, stop.
We need to go back and talk to
them.
They stopped too.
Why would they stop?
It's Stiles and Scott.
Do you really wanna try applying
logic to those two?
Maybe we should go back.
Are you okay?
It came out of nowhere.
Are you hurt?
It ran right into us.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Well, I'm not okay.
I am totally freaking out.
How the hell does it just run
into us?
I saw its eyes right before it
hit us.
It was like it--
It was like it was crazy.
No, it was scared.
Actually...terrified.
Hey, wait.
Wait a minute.
I know this one.
what happened, Isaac?
The girl, all right, she's
worse, okay?
Are you not healing?
Would you just help her, please?
Okay, can you take him?
We gotta move him, Melissa.
All right, take him.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Find him.
I have to find him.
What are you saying?
I have to...
I have to tell him.
Who?
The alpha.
Find the alpha.
what do you want with
Derek Hale?
No.
What?
Okay, let's get her out of
Here.
Not Hale.
Mccall.
Scott Mccall.
"Ephemeral.
Lasting for a short time.
Transient. Momentary.
Ephemeral."
You ready?
Yeah.
You know, you could wait till
tomorrow if you want.
I know the first day can be
tough.
I'm all right.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Or you could wait a week, if
that would make things easier.
I promised Lydia that I would
Drive her, since her car's
wrecked.
So I should--I should go.
You know how many vehicle
collisions last year involved
deer?
247,000.
Oh, god, please go to school.
But that's crossing the road.
This one last night came right
down the middle.
I'm not gonna beg you.
I'm impervious to your influence
anyway.
Would you consider a bribe?
You couldn't meet my price.
Extortion?
You got nothing on me.
Yeah.
Dad, what are you doing?
Aah!
Looks good on you.
So you think we could go on
a real date sometime?
Hmm.
Uh, can we have sex again?
Mm.
You wanna ask Derek for help?
Why, why?
He's got the triskele
Tattooed on his back.
So there has to be a way to do
It without healing, right?
Okay, yeah, but still,
Doesn't he have his hands
a little full?
Look, these are
the applications for the career
advisor.
I need them sorted.
and whatever happened to
the library while I was gone,
I want it cleared up.
And what the hell is this?
Go, go, go.
Freshmen.
Tons and tons of fresh men.
You mean fresh boys.
Lydia, they're 14.
Eh, some are more mature than
others.
You know, it's okay to be single. Focus on yourself for a little
while, work on becoming a better
person.
Allison, I love you.
So if you need to do that thing
where we talk about me and
pretend like we're not actually
talking about you, it's totally
Fine.
But I don't want a boyfriend.
I want a distraction.
Brothers?
Twins.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's healing, visibly.
Wow.
They can't see this.
Nobody can see this.
All right, cover it up.
I-I don't think that's gonna
matter.
I mean, you're scheduled for
surgery, which is obviously
Gonna be very confusing for
a lot of people.
Okay, can you do something?
Me do something?
I'm relatively new to all of
This.
And there's a sheriff's deputy
that's stationed right outside
Have you tried calling Derek?
Like, five times.
Do you have any other emergency
werewolf contacts?
Yeah.
Call Scott.
Believe me, sir.
But you have to understand me.
Excuse me.
Hey, hey, Melissa.
Hey.
C-can you help me out here?
Yeah.
Since the amnesiac in 215
can't tell us anything, I need
the girl with the modified
military stun gun in 216 to
Answer a few questions.
It's kind of unlikely, since
she's heavily sedated.
Ah, great.
Um, well, when she, um--
When she un-sedates, will you
give me a call?
Cause she's got about 10 grand
worth of property damage to
answer for.
And I don't want her just
walking out of here.
Okay.
Is someone--
No. No, no, no, no.
No, it's all you, all yours.
Uh, it's totally vacant.
"The offing was barred by
a black bank of clouds
and the tranquil waterway,
leading to the uttermost ends
of the earth flowed somber under
an overcast sky, seemed to lead
into the heart of an immense
Darkness."
This is the last line to
the first book we are going to
read.
It is also the last text you
will receive in this class.
Phones off, everyone.
Oh, come on, Scott, come on.
Oh, pick up.
Hello, Isaac.
Hi.
Good. Listen, I think I could
probably just--
What is that?
Just an anesthetic.
We don't want you getting in
the way again.
Count along with me, Isaac.
One...
Two...
Three.
Mr. Mccall?
Uh, I'm sure it's an emergency
if your mother needs you to
leave school, but I'm gonna give
you a warning in the nicest
possible way.
I am well aware of your
attendance record.
I don't wanna see you slip back
into old habits.
I won't.
It's gonna be different this year
Resolutions are only good if
you stick with them, Scott.
I will.
I promise it won't be ephemeral.
Hey, Lydia.
What is that?
Is that from the accident?
No.
Prada bit me.
Your dog?
No, my designer handbag.
Yes, my dog.
Has it ever bitten you
before?
Mm-mm.
Okay. What if it's, like,
the same thing as the deer?
You know, like, how animals
start acting weird right before
an earthquake or something?
Meaning what?
There's gonna be an earthquake?
Or something.
I just--maybe it means
something's coming.
Something bad.
It was a deer and a dog.
What's that thing you say about
threes?
Once, twice--
Get down, everyone!
Get down, down.
Get down!
Why didn't you tell me
before?
Honestly, I was hoping
I didn't have to.
What do you mean?
Everything that you've been
doing--the extra reading,
the summer school, saving up for
the bike, even though it scares
me half to death--
Honey, I just didn't wanna
disrupt a good rhythm.
It's not gonna stop.
I-I'm gonna be better this year.
A better student, a better son,
a better friend, and better
everything.
I promise.
Okay.
He's in room 215 if he isn't
already in surgery.
Thank you.
Would you hit the button for
the second floor, please?
Yeah.
What the hell is this?
Does someone want to explain
This to me?
You wouldn't mind helping me
out for a second, would you?
Um--
Sure.
Here's an idea.
Why don't you wheel this joker
out of here and get somebody
that actually needs to be
operated on?
Now!
I'm gonna go smoke.
Don't you realize what you're
dealing with?
I'm an alpha.
So am I.
Aren't you supposed to be
in school?
Ms. Blake?
You okay?
Uh, sorry, just--
That.
Next time you're feeling you
wanna stay home ,you stay home.
I'm okay.
But, dad, the deer and now this?
I know, I know.
It can't be a coincidence.
Mr. Argent, you wouldn't have
any insight into this, would
You?
Me?
Yeah.
All this bizarre animal
behavior, it's--
You must have seen something
like this before, right?
I'm not sure why I would or
why you would think I would.
I'm sorry.
I-I could've sworn I overheard
my son talking about how you
were an experienced hunter.
Ah, right.
Well, not anymore.
You all right?
Yeah.
We got a serious problem at
School.
Hey, can you tell me about it
Later?
Well, no, pretty sure this
qualifies for immediate
discussion.
All right, then meet me at
Derek's.
What the hell are you doing at--
Just meet us here, okay?
You don't still live here, do
you?
No.
The county took it over, but
there's something here that
I need.
It'll help heal a wound from
An alpha.
Yeah, but it did heal.
Not on the inside.
Hey, are you gonna tell me
who that was back there?
That alpha.
A rival pack.
It's my problem.
I know you wanna help, and you
did.
I owe you one.
Now go home.
Go back to being a teenager.
Uh, hey, Derek.
If you wanna repay back that
favor now...
There is something you can do
for me.
Is it me or is Beacon Hills
Turning into more like beacon
for the totally bizarre and
supernatural?
Where's Scott Mccall?
You're Allison, right?
Yeah, how do you know--
Where's Scott?
He had to leave.
He was supposed to be back in
class--
Is he coming back?
Hey, easy with the
physicality, sweetheart.
Well, she bruised me.
Huh. Me too.
Come on, let's get you two
Girls out of here.
School can wait another day.
Sweetheart?
Hey.
You don't have to worry about
this anymore.
Remember our agreement?
We stay in beacon hills, but
only if we stay out of this.
It's not our problem now.
Okay?
we've had 15 calls in
The past hour.
I got a suicidal deer, birds
flying through windows, pets
behaving aggressively.
I gotta tell you, I'm starting
to think there's something in
the water.
To be honest, I was gonna
give you a call about an
incident of my own.
At first, I thought I might have
had a break-in--
Some sick individual looking to
release a particularly violent
impulse.
Until I got a closer look and
realized what actually happened.
They did it to themselves.
Yeah, I see it.
It's two bands, right?
What does it mean?
I don't know.
It's just something I traced
with my fingers.
Why is this so important to
you?
Do you know what the word
"tattoo" means?
To mark something.
well, that's in tahitian.
In samoan, it means "open
wound."
I knew I wanted to get a tattoo
when I turned 18.
I always wanted one.
I just decided to get it now,
to make it kind of a reward.
For what?
For not calling or texting
Allison all summer.
Even when I really wanted to,
even when it was so hard not to
sometimes.
I was trying to give her
the space she wants.
Goin' four months later, it
still hurts.
It still feels like a, uh--
like an open wound.
Yeah.
The pain's gonna be worse
than anything you've ever felt.
Ah, that's great.
Do it.
Oh, wow.
That's a--that's a lot for me.
So I'm gonna take that as my
cue.
I'm just gonna wait outside.
Nope.
You can help hold him down.
Oh, my god.
Hold him.
Aah!
It worked.
Well, it looks pretty damn
permanent now.
Yeah.
I kind of needed something
permanent.
Everything that's happened to
us--
Everything just changes so fast.
Everything's so, uh...
ephemeral.
Studying for the psats?
Yep.
Nice.
You painted the door.
Why'd you paint the door?
Go home, Scott.
And why only one side?
Scott.
The birds at school and
the deer last night--
Just like the night I got
trampled by the deer when I got
bit by the alpha.
How many are there?
A pack of 'em.
An alpha pack.
All of them?
How does that even work?
I hear there's some kind of
a leader.
He's called Deucalion.
We know they have Boyd and
Erica.
Peter, Isaac, and I have been
looking for him for the last
four months.
Let's say you find them.
how do you deal with an alpha
pack?
With all the help I can get.
Where is she?
Where's the girl?
What girl?
Beautiful.
But defiant, aren't you?
Because I know something.
I know you're afraid of him.
Of a teenage boy?
Of the man he'll become.
I'm aware of a certain
potential threat.
But then someone once taught me
a very smart way to eliminate
threat--
Get someone else to do it for
You.
Derek.
This one, it's perfect.
Mm, I don't know.
I'm still thinking maybe a shade
of blue.
Lydia, look.
