Teen Wolf [Season 1, Episode 1]
Pilot
Shown 05/Jun/11
This was directed by
Russell Mulcahy
, whose career started so well in the 1980s and has been in permanent decline ever since.
He was last seen directing the third
Resident Evil
Film, which gives him a status slightly above that of B-movie Eurotrash schlockmeister
Uwe Boll
. In all fairness, this TV show should bring him to the level of
Kevin Williamson
, whose career has risen from nothing (due to a ten-year retirement) in a couple of years.
Scream 4
successfully rebooted the film series, and
Vampire Diaries
is on its THIRD Season.
That said, can we compare
Highlander
With Dawson's Creek?
A clueless teenage boy named Scott (who looks like the kid from
Kyle XY
) and his comedy sidekick named Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) - who is the brains of the pair - discover a dead woman in the woods.
The protagonist gets bitten by a mysterious beast, and he later develops strange symptoms.
A new girl named Allison (
Crystal Reed
) arrives at school, and our hero falls for her.
But in a predictably ironic twist of fate, her father (JR Bourne -
Stargate SG-1
) is the leader of a gang of Hunters.

He has a plan, and that includes sending a text message to the GF Allison (

She takes steps to see what they are up to.
We meet the school's outcasts.
One is an epileptic girl (
Gage Golightly
) whose medication causes acne.
As opposed to being a teenager, that is.
All she needs is a makeover.
However, Derek (Tyler Hoechlin -
Superman and Lois
) is trawling for new recruits to his pack.
Jackson the Jock (Colton Haynes -
Arrow

they take her to Jackson's house ...

Frenemy
Shown 02/Jul/12
Last Ep the guys discovered who the Abomination was.
They still have to stop it from claiming its next victim
- while avoiding the gun-toting hunters.
The small town has a very popular gay-bar.
Also strange is how the municipal CCTV cameras
(including ATM cams and the new CCTV at school)
are networked and run by the Hunters!
Can our heroes keep the Abomination prisoner?
We learn a couple of new things about the monster.
It only targets murderers -
And it is not in search of a FRIEND ...

Restraint

The Canima takes another victim.
Whoever its master is, they have a list of victims.
And they are not afraid of doing some killing of their own.
The Sheriff puts our heroes on a leash,
they must stay fifty feet from Jackson the Jock (Colton Haynes -
Arrow
) at all times.
Jackson is in denial, but the Canima is taking over his subconscious.
And then they all end up in detention together.
But it is not as much fun as the Breakfast Club.
Scott's mom cracks down on him as well.
It seems light-hearted when she frantically searches his room
- but instead of finding werewolf stuff, she finds a box of condoms.
And then she tells Allison's psycho-mom.
Lydia (
Holland Roden

Shown 23/Jul/12
Lydia the redhead (
Holland Roden
) holds a party.
Our heroes turn up, and as with every social gathering they attend, things start to go wrong.
Someone spiked the punch with a powerful hallucinogen which makes the victim relive their fears.
The Hunter bitch has been bitten,
and is under orders to commit suicide rather than transform.
A pity the heroes never told her that there might be a cure.
The arch-villain has a plan to return.
This may be entirely separate from the Canima's plan,
for revenge on the school's 2006 Swim Team.
Teen Wolf [Season 2, Episode 10]

Battlefield
Shown 06/Aug/12

Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
) is revealed for the arch-villain we always knew he was,
and now he has the Canima on his side.
Derek's pack want to split up.
But the Hunters are patrolling the woods.
And Allison (
Crystal Reed

Teen Wolf [Season 2, Episode 12]
Master Plan
Shown 13/Aug/12
This is the big face-off everything has been building up to.
But it is not a three-way fight everyone thought it would be.
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) tries to protect Lydia (
Holland Roden
). But the truth is,
she still wants Jackson the Jock (Colton Haynes -
Arrow
). Why, after the way he has repeatedly dumped her, is not apparent.
The ending sets up the villains for Season Three.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 1]
Tattoo
Shown 03/Jun/13
The town Vet's sister (
Bianca Lawson
) has Braeden (
Meagan Tandy
) rescue Isaac the junior werewolf,
who has been captured by the Alpha Pack.
However, a couple of Alphas follow them.
This pair are identical twins who can merge.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) has bigger problems.
He wants to get a tattoo
to celebrate getting over Allison Argent (
Crystal Reed
). Unfortunately normal tattoos are impossible,
since he just heals from the needle-marks.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 2]
Chaos Rising
Shown Jun. 10, 2013
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) attends a party,
where the girl who invited him
has an agenda of her own.
The good news is that she only wants to lose her cherry to him.
The bad news is that one of the town's creepy monsters
has its eyes on her.
The town Vet (Seth Gilliam -
The Walking Dead
) helps the wolves to look for the missing pack members.
He does not mention that his own sister (
Bianca Lawson
) is also missing,
after she was searching for Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) in the previous episode.

Fireflies
Shown Jun. 17, 2013
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and Derek (Tyler Hoechlin -
Superman and Lois
) try to hunt down the feral werewolves.
Even with Isaac's help, they are outmatched.
Luckily Mr. Argent (JR Bourne -
Stargate SG-1
) still has the skills and weapons
of an expert werewolf-hunter.
Since they do not have to kill the ferals,
only keep them busy until sunrise,
the plan is to lure them into the school.
After all, most of the show is already set there.
Why build new sets when they can just re-use existing ones?
Lydia (
Holland Roden
) discovers a dead body.
She calls Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) to help, and he starts an investigation of his own.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 4]
Unleashed
Shown Jun. 24, 2013
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) still works for
the town Vet (Seth Gilliam -
The Walking Dead
). Naturally, this works into the plot.
Another victim gets abducted,
presumably as part of the serial-killer whodunnit plot.
The Alpha Twins have been attending the High School
since the first episode.
Now they finally get to do something.
Isaac finally recognises them,
which leads on to a daylight transformation fight
reminiscent of something from
Mortal Kombat
. The Alphas Twins do their two-in-one trick again.
Just like
The Incredible Hulk
, they take their shirts off but somehow keep their pantaloons on.
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) continues his investigation into the murders.
He suspects the serial killer is a druid,
conducting human sacrifices.
This whodunnit plot is quite suspenseful,
compared to the cheap OTT action scenes.
The good news is that Derek has his sister back.
The bad news is that, like in
Under The Dome
, the show-runners had to kill off one female character
in order to introduce a new one.
Yes,
Gage Golightly
gets written out of the story almost off-screen.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 5]
Frayed
Shown Jul. 1, 2013
Most of the male cast are on a school bus,
driving to a sports match.
Their team has an unfair advantage,
since four of the players are werewolves.
Unfortunately Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) is severely injured, and his wound is not healing.
This functions as a bookend sequence,
as we see a series of flashbacks
that show how Scott was injured.
Worse, they believe Derek to be dead.
Earlier that week,
Scott discovered where the Alphas were living.
It turns out they moved into the penthouse
of the same apartment building that
the surviving Argents had moved into.
Derek plans to attack and kill the Head Alpha.
Of course, this means ignoring the fact
that the invaders have been several steps ahead
of everyone else.
It is clearly a setup for a trap.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 6]
Motel California
Shown Jul. 8, 2013
In 1977, an Argent books into a Motel in California.
The Argent has been bitten by a werewolf Alpha.
Of course, as a werewolf hunter he would rather die than turn.
In 2013, over thirty-five years later,
the Beacon Hills school bus arrives at the same motel.
Lydia (
Holland Roden
) and Allison have tagged along,
apparently abandoning their car at the truck-stop.
The werewolves in the group start to act strangely.
Lydia discovers the motel has the record for the greatest number of suicides.
She also discovers that her supernatural powers
allow her to hear ghosts when nobody else can.
Is the motel a strange ghostly suicide zone,
or did someone spike the team with wolfsbane?
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 7]
Currents
Shown Jul. 15, 2013
The regulars are all back in Beacon Hills,
as if the previous two episodes did not happen.
There has been a multiple-car pile-up,
which means the local hospital is over-stretched.
Worse, the Druid is now targeting healers.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) assumes his mother, a nurse, will be the next victim.
He forgets that the town Vet (Seth Gilliam -
The Walking Dead
) also fits the target demographic.
The Alpha pack blame Derek for the death of one of their own.
Rather than take advantage of his presumed death,
and leaving town or hiding out,
he just hangs out in his normal home
that the villains have already successfully attacked.
In the climax, we get a flashback of
Gage Golightly
. It was tragic enough that she got written
out of the story almost off-screen,
but at least now we get her belated death scene.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 8]
Visionary
Shown Jul. 22, 2013
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) and Derek's sister turn to the creepy uncle
to find out Derek's backstory.
It turns out that Derek's first love was Paige Krasikeva (
Madison McLaughlin
), and their love story has a tragic ending.
Meanwhile, Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and Allison (
Crystal Reed
) visit Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
). He has terminal cancer,
and needs Scott's werewolf mojo to keep it at bay.
In return, he tells the tweens a story about how Ducallion lost his sight.
It was in the same time-frame, eight years previously.
These stories are told by untruthful narrators,
who embellish their stories to make themselves less complicit.
Of course, the audience know that because the on-screen flashbacks
do not match up with the narrration.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 9]
The Girl Who Knew Too Much
Shown 29/Jul/13
The pre-credits sequence has a deputy turn up to the school at night.
Yes, they are set up to be the next sacrifice.
Unfortunately the showrunners missed a couple of opportunities.
The deputy is an African-American woman,
so she should have been allowed a conversation with
Bianca Lawson
. This would pass the Bechdel test twice -
once for the regular version,
and once for the person-of-colour one.
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) has to tell his father, Sheriff Stilinski,
the truth about all the unsolved murders in town.
The Duroch is hunting for the final set of three sacrifices.
However, now the Duroch's identity will be revealed.
Since this show has a limited budget and cast,
there is really only one suspect.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 10]
The Overlooked
Shown 05/Aug/13
Derek has the Duroch as his prisoner.
She is the only one who can cure his sister,
who is the last patient in the now-evacuated hospital.
Now she must heal the sister,
since the last ambulance will leave in half an hours time.
Ducallion and the Alpha Pack turn up,
eager to kill the Duroch before she kills them.
Derek's pack try to keep the Duroch alive.
Scott's mother the nurse gets caught in the middle.
This show has a limited budget,
so it tends to re-use the same sets a lot.
The previous episode was centred around the school,
while last Season had a die-hard episode
in the police station.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 11]
Alpha Pact
Shown 12/Aug/13
Derek and his sister decide to leave town.
The Duroch goes looking for Derek,
and gets ambushed by the Alpha Pack.
Unlike in the previous episode,
she clearly has the upper hand against them.

Lunar Ellipse
Shown 19/Aug/13
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
), Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) and Allison (
Crystal Reed
) undergo a druidic ritual.
Each has a partner to bring them back from the dead -
Scott has the vet (Seth Gilliam -
The Walking Dead
), Stiles has Lydia (
Holland Roden
) and Allison has Isaac.
Yes, the show is pushing the Allison/Isaac romance.
That said, Lydia is still with one of the bisexual twins
so it could just be a friendship thing.
Scott teams up with Ducallion against the Duroch.
Unfortunately Derek has agreed to be the Duroch's protector.
The showdown is timed to occur with the lunar eclipse
that temporarily removes the werewolves' power.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 13]
Anchors
Shown 06/Jan/14
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) is having waking nightmares, Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) seems unable to control his transformations,
and Allison (
Crystal Reed
) is having visions of Aunt Kate.
The Vet reveals that this is a side-effect
of the vision quest they undertook together
in the previous episode.
Stiles' father (the Sheriff) is under investigation
by Scott's father (an FBI Agent)
because of his inability to close
all the unsolved murder cases.
Stiles and Scott try to help out
by solving a werewolf killing
that was written off as natural causes.
Yes, even more unsolved murders.
Scott uses his super-power to run down a coyote.
This ignores the fact that a real-life wolf's power
to run quickly comes from its four legs.
Similarly, a spider's danger-sense ability
comes from it having eight eyes,
not a magical Peter Tingle.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 14]
More Bad Than Good
Shown 13/Jan/14
The tweens go looking for the were-coyote.
Unfortunately the missing girl's father (
) is on a revenge rampage against the animal
he holds responsible for the girl's apparent death.
Not only is he running around with legally-held firearms,
but he has also strewn the forest with bear-traps.
Derek and his uncle are being tortured by a Latino gang
who want to know the location of La Lupa, AKA the she-wolf.
Naturally is incredibly vague,
so the captives have no idea how to help.
However, they do find out what happened to Braeden (
Meagan Tandy
), the young woman who saved Isaac in episode 3:1.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 15]
Galvanize
Shown 20/Jan/14
A mass murderer (Doug Jones -
) is taken to the Beacon Hills hospital for emergency surgery.
Predictably, he breaks out and sets out
to kill his next victim.
The killer is an electrical engineer,
but he seems to be magically linked to flies.
Is he Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies?
He says he killed his victims
because they had glowing eyes -
were they werewolves,
or is he just obsessed with
Village of the Damned (1960)
? He dismisses the John Carpenter version
and remakes in general,
an acknowledgement that this show is a remake of a remake.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) impresses the Japanese teacher,
who invies him home for dinner.
This means Scott gets to spend time
with the teacher's daughter, Kira.
It is stated that her mother (
Tamlyn Tomita
) has an important bloodline.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 16]
Illuminated
Shown 27/Jan/14
The FBI are investigating how the convict escaped
in the previous episode.
It seems someone helped him,
and set up his next victim as a target.
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) starts his own investigation.
A handful of smoke-based supernaturals,
dressed in masks like the Immortals in
300
, have attacked Isaac in Werewolf.
Now they go after the rest of the pack.
The twins want to ingratiate themselves with Scott's friends
so they will be allowed to join his pack.
To do this, they have to help run a rave party
on Halloween night for their teenage schoolmates.
The bad news is that the previous episode's
destruction at the power station has given the town a blackout.
The good news is that the twins somehow still have access to Derek's studio apartment.
Since Derek is out of town,
and his sister is nowhere to be seen,
they hold the party at Derek's place.

Riddled
Shown 10/Feb/14
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -

). Somehow, Stiles has gone sleepwalking again.
Now he is missing,
and says he is locked in a basement somewhere.
Scott gets the pack together to search the town.
It seems that during his blackout,
Stiles set some boobytraps around the town.
The others must locate and defuse the traps
before anyone gets hurt.
Scott's dad the FBI agent arrests Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin -
Superman and Lois
) and Mr. Argent (JR Bourne -

Echo House
Shown 24/Feb/14
Sheriff Stilinski (Linden Ashby) takes Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) to the mental asylum for a 72-hour hold.
The good news is that the town Vet's sister (
Bianca Lawson
), as well as being the school guidance counselor,
is also on staff at the asylum.
She gives Stiles some helpful hints.
He must avoid sleep for the next few days,
because the demon will get at him through his dreams.
Worse, the poison will only surpress it for a few days.
After that, it will take him over again.
Stiles meets Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) in the asylum.
Well, she has been living in the woods for seven years or so.
The bad news is that she only has a primary-school education.
The good news is that,
despite being in coyote form,
she did not age in dog years.
However, now she wants to become a coyote again.
Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin -
Superman and Lois
) and Mr. Argent (JR Bourne -
Stargate SG-1
) are still in jail, on suspicion of murder.
The evidence against them is being moved to an FBI lockup.
It includes a Japanese scroll that contains a cure to the possession,
so there are at least two reasons for Scott's pack to steal it.
Teen Wolf [Season 3, Episode 21]
The Fox and the Wolf
Shown 03/Mar/14
Kira's mother (
Tamlyn Tomita
) narrates a tale of how she was interned in World War Two.
The scenes in the concentration camp are reminiscent of
The Terror: Season 2
. However, the danger was not mere racism.
The camp's Doctor and a couple of minions were corrupt,
selling medical supplies on the black market -
like in The Third Man.

The Divine Move
Shown 24/Mar/14
The pack are in mourning
after losing one of their members.
This will not be the only one they lose this Season.
The Nogitsune attacks the Hospital and the police station,
so the school is the obvious next target.
Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) has been missing for a few episodes.
In the post-climax scenes she is back,
as a new pupil in the High School.
She is set up to replace the female character
who was written out.
The South American gang that tortured Derek
a few episodes ago now reappear.
They are still hunting the she-wolf,
which is a pretty generic name.
Now we find out which she-wolf in particular.
She is an impressive villain for the next Season.

The show is back, but only Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -

) and Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) and Lydia (
Holland Roden
) are left from the original opening credits.
Derek Hale is now gone, replaced by Liam.
Lydia is an inmate at Eichen House.
The female orderly is a bully,
although we are apperntly meant to think
that the friendly male orderly is a predator.
The Deputy discovers a new threat to the town,
some kind of super-werewolf who wants to steal Scott's Alpha powers.
It turns out that the super-wolf has been made by three creepy figures,
who are the Season's Big Bad.
Kira is en route back from the airport.
Her parents took her to New York for the summer vacation.
Now she has a metal belt that turns into a samurai sword.
Yes, it is magical so she can wear it through airport security.

Parasomnia
Shown 30 Jun 15
The new girl at school has night terrors.
As always in Beacon Hills,
this is not a regular medical condition
but cover for some kind of supernatural one.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) takes a new class in AP Biology.
Lydia (
Holland Roden
) and Kira are taking it too,
which somehow implies it is girls-only.
They have a new lady teacher,
while Kira's father is not seen much
and the Coach is nowhere to be seen.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 3]
Dreamcatchers
Shown 06 Jul 15
A tweenage thug is in police custody,

Later, a supernatural entity attacks the transport.
This is all quite predictable,
although how it gets to the predictable conclusion
is something of a roundabout route.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 4]
Condition Terminal
Shown 13 Jul 15
The pack try to recover from the events of the previous episode.
Liam plays wingman for his gay buddy at the town's gay bar.
Well, the town has a population of thirty thousand
so there could be a thriving gay population.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 5]
A Novel Approach
Shown 20 Jul 15
The pack visit Eichen House.
The novel was written by the mad doctor in the basement.
He mentions Peter as being a former cellmate,
although we are not told where Peter is now.
Lydia's bond with Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) is mentioned several times.
This seems to foreshadow a future relationship,
as Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) spends time with another male.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 6]
Required Reading
Shown 27 Jul 15
This starts with an action sequence,
with Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) having to save Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) the so-called Alpha.
Rather than be a follow-up to the action in the previous episode,
this scene is from the climax of this episode
but edited in as a prologue so it seems more exciting.
The pack photocopy the Dread Doctors novel,
and each reads their own copy.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 7]
Strange Frequencies
Shown 03 Aug 15
Kira has been showing symptoms of the Kitsune's influence.
She keeps losing her magical belt-sword,
and has no idea where it is.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) no longer really trusts her.
Scott starts having panic attacks,
or asthma attacks induced by flashbacks of the Dread Doctors.
Yes, it looks like his childhood asthma is back -
even though he healed when he became a werewolf.
Liam discovers that Hayden is a Chimera.
They use her as bait to trap the Dread Doctors.
Meanwhile, Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) stakes out the vet's office
where a dead Chimera's body has been left.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 8]
Ouroboros
Shown 10 Aug 15
The vet goes exploring in Chernobyl.
The good news is that he discovers the Dread Doctors' secret base.
The bad news is that the Desert Wolf (
Marisol Nichols
) makes an actual speaking appearance.
Liam and Hayden are still in the hands of the Dread Doctors.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and the others try to find them,
before the Docs regard them as failures.
Sheriff Stilinski decides to play things by the book.
He reports the dead Chimera,
and has his deputies guard it in the morgue -
even though he knows bullets will not affect the supernatural.
If he succeeds, the autopsy will show the Chimera's magical atributes.
Kira gets charged with murder,
even though it was clearly self defence.

Status Asthmaticus
Shown 24 Aug 15
Hayden is not recovering from the Doctors' experiments.
Liam wants Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) to make her a werewolf,
in the hope that she will heal herself.
Scott sees that this would be counter-productive.
Also, his mojo is waning so he might not be Alpha enough to turn her.
Liam is over-emotional, and it is the night of the super-moon.
This leads to a big fight.
The show's low budget is apparent again.
This Season's new set, the High School library,
seems to be a re-dressed version of Derek's studio apartment.

The Last Chimera

The Sword and the Spirit
Shown 26 Jan 16
Mr. Argent (JR Bourne -
Stargate SG-1
) heals Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
), and the two of them go hunting together.
The old man knows more about the Dread Doctors than he tells anyone.
Argent discovers a mass grave,
23 bodies that the Doctors have been hiding.
This is on top of the four bodies that the deputies recovered
from the Nematon a few episodes ago.
For a town of thirty thousand,
in a county that has a population of a few hundred thousand,
this is still a massive body-count.
However, there is no sign of the State Police or the FBI getting involved.
Theo offers to help Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) discover the location of her mother.
They borrow the Dread Doctors' technology.
Braeden (
Meagan Tandy
) , the former US Marshal, comes along to help.
Not because she cares about the vet,
but because the Desert Wolf is the one fugitive she never caught.
Lydia (
Holland Roden
) is still in Eichen House.
Her storyline catches up with the prologue in the Season's first episode.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 15]
Amplification

The Beast leads the deputies in a car chase.
It goes to the Hospital,
which has to be evacuated - as usual.
The vet briefs Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) about the Eichen House regime.
The head doctor, until recently an inmate,
intends to drill a hole in Lydia's head.
This will make her too powerful.
Luckily, Scott has his pack back so they plan a heist.
Kira has to learn how to use her electrical superpower.
Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) calls her a cheater,
and points out she never worked for anything.
They also discuss their problems with their mothers.
At least this conversation passes the Bechdel test.

Shown 09 Feb 16
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) and Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) have infiltrated Eichen House to save Lydia (
Holland Roden
). Dr Valek is helping Lydia enhance her powers enough to defeat the Beast.
He already stated that her superpowered scream is powerful enough to make a man's head explode.
However, will this actually be shown on-screen?
That kind of thing would be banned on a network TV show,
but this is a streaming show ...
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 17]
A Credible Threat
Shown 16 Feb 16
The Beast sets a trap for Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and the pack,
involving a school bus filled with mutilated tweenagers.
This is really gory, including intestines -
even compared to the exposed brain scene of the previous episode.
For some reason the show-makers are pushing their limits.
The Beast only appears around electromagnetic transmissions,
such as media broadcasts.
The next broadcast will be the school's charity lacrosse game,
so the pack stake out the sports field
to prevent the Beast from eating everyone present.
The Coach has been in rehab this Season,
so Scott and Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) have to convince him to come out of retirement.
The Argents are not in the stakeout,
because they are too busy helping Lydia (
Holland Roden
) communicate with Cerberus the Hellhound.
This takes three or four of the key fighters off the hunt.
Kira is on the team, but because the Kitsune is taking her over
she tends to foul all the rival players.
Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) tries to disable the news broadcast vans before they can attract the Beast.
Unfortunately the Desert Wolf (
Marisol Nichols
) has very bad timing, and chooses to get involved.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 18]
The Maid of Gévaudan
Shown 23 Feb 16
Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
) narrates a flashback to France in the 1700s.
Marie Jean (
Crystal Reed
) was the village's best hunter,
so when people get eaten by a monsterous wolf
then she has to up her game.
Since she is the spitting image of Allison,
she is obviously one of the progenitors of the Argent bloodline.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and the others are still hiding out at the school,
after the events of the previous episode.
The beast prowls the corridors.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 19]
The Beast of Beacon Hills
Shown 01 Mar 16
Everyone is after the Beast.
The Doctors take him, and Scott's pack try to get him back.
However, they should be careful what they wish for.
He can wipe out a lot of supporting characters
if they are dumb enough to go near it in a confined space.
Meanwhile, the Desert Wolf (
Marisol Nichols
) is still in town.
Lydia (
Holland Roden
) protects Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) at the Sheriff's office.
Braeden (
Meagan Tandy
) hangs out with Malia (
Shelley Hennig
), eating pistachio nuts in a scene reminiscent of
For Your Eyes Only
.
Kira visits the skinwalkers, and re-forges her magic sword.
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 20]
Apotheosis
Shown 08 Mar 16
The sides have all been announced,
and everyone is after the Beast.
There are lot of supporting characters still around,
and a lot of them have to be written off before the next Season.
Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) is not around to help Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and the rest of the pack.
She and Braeden (
Meagan Tandy
) are trying to trap the Desert Wolf (
Marisol Nichols
), who has decided not to wait until the full moon.
For some reason, Braeden uses a laser sight -
giving away her position and her aim point.
Despite this, the Desert Wolf does not just instantly kill her.
Fair is fair, since Braeden skipped a clear kill-shot earlier.
One thing that lets the episode down
is a lack of clarity about the deaths of certain characters.
One is attacked by the Beast,
but never mentioned or shown again.
Another gets a broken neck, clearly a fatal attack,
but somehow easily recovers from it.
Teen Wolf [Season 6, Episode 1]
Memory Lost
Shown 15 Nov 16
The new Season has new opening credits,
which look a bit more simplified (AKA cheap).
For the first time, Scott and Stiles' parents
are added as regulars rather than guest-stars.
There is also a switch in emphasis of the story,
since Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) and Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) are leaving town at the end of the year
the younger generation is being prepped to take over.
A young boy is being hunted by some ghostly riders,
which have the ability to erase their victims from existence.
The riders target anyone who saw them.
This includes Stiles, who has conveniently broken up with Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) so his closest attachment is with Lydia (
Holland Roden
).
As with the previous two Seasons,
the main monsters are a trio of mask-wearing extras.
This is presumably a budget-saving option,
as the characters are easy to re-cast
and the mask is costume rather than make-up
so if nothing else it is a lot faster to put on every day.
Teen Wolf [Season 6, Episode 2]
Superposition
Shown 22 Nov 16
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -
American Assassin
) has been cut out of the show,
no doubt because the actor is a breakout movie star.
At least he has not been permanently killed off,
which means they are planning on bringing him back.
Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) has moved on, since she has not only broken up with Stiles
but seen him erased from existence.
We learn that she likes cowgirl, and being the big spoon.
We can also pity Stiles, now we know what he is missing out on.
Hopefully Lydia (
Holland Roden
) will find a way to bring him back.
The coach is back, and looking for a new Lacrosse team captain
since Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) is concentrating on his studies.
Liam wants the job, but has to earn it.
He also has to learn to co-exist with the chameleon boy,
who is the boyfriend of Liam's best buddy Mason.
Teen Wolf [Season 6, Episode 3]
Sundowning
Shown 29 Nov 16
As with the previous episode,
this starts with a prologue of the kids studying a physics lesson.
Their physics teacher is the school's new hire for the year -
and with their record so far, he is either a killer or a victim.
Anyway, we get to find out what happened to the helium cannisters in Episode One.
Also, a major villain reveal is shown ... in the prologue.
The Sheriff tells the pack that Stiles was his father's nickname.
He refuses them access to the old man, but will not say why.
This leads Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) to break into the old folks home.
Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) takes an especially brutal approach.
Meanwhile, the B-team are sent to protect a girl
who has seen the Ghost Riders.
She attends a High School party,
which means everyone else there is in danger too.
Mr. Argent (JR Bourne -
Stargate SG-1
) is back in town,
investigating the death of the helium thief.
He teams up with Scott's mother, the nurse,
and they discover the killer is harvesting pineal glands - like in
The Relic

Relics
Shown 06 Dec 16
Mr. Argent (JR Bourne -
Stargate SG-1
) and Scott's mother go on a not-a-date stake-out in the woods.
The place is well-lit by heavy lamps giving indirect lighting,
which is presumably cheaper than just using digital colour-grading in post-production.
The good news is they get some more clues (well, bodies) from the super-werewolf.
The bad news is that Malia (
Shelley Hennig
) is in a blood frenzy and needs to be hospitalised.
The horsemen are on the hunt again,
after everyone who attended the party.
Since the horsemen travel by lightning,
the plan is to hide the victims in an undrground bunker.
Argent and Malia are set to guard it.
The Coach decides to run a Lacrosse match in the thunderstorm.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and Liam get roped into playing,
in the hope that they can protect the other players.
Lydia (
Holland Roden
) tries to find something that Stiles (Dylan O'Brien -

Everyone else loses faith that he even existed.
Nobody notices his jeep still sitting in the parking lot.

Radio Silence
Shown 13 Dec 16
Stiles finds himself in a train station, waiting for his connection home.
Hundreds of other people are in the same position.
The only break from the monotony is when the Ghost Riders arrive,
only staying long enough to drop off some new victims.
The good news is that Stiles sees a familiar face.
The bad news is that it is Peter Hale, estranged father of Malia.
Lydia discovers Stiles' jeep, abandoned in the school parking lot.

Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)

The good news is that it is nearby,
on the other side of the massive forest adjacent to Beacon Hills.
The bad news is that it is a ghost town,
and the only inhabitants are a banshee and a ghost.
Back at the High School, the B-Team make a new plan.
They get a couple of recruits.
One is the Physics teacher, who has a secret that only the audience knows.
The other is Theo, who Kira gave a fate worse than death to last Season.
Mr Argent is in hospital,
poisoned by a Ghost Rider's toxic whip.
Scott's mother has to help him heal from this supernatural injury,
because regular surgery would just kill him.

Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -

Malia has another plan.
She and Scott's mother heal Peter Hale,
the only one who has escaped from the Ghost Riders' way-station.

Blitzkrieg
Shown 17 Jan 17
Sheriff Stilinski is at home, obsessed with finding out about Stiles.
With nobody in the police station,
the B-Team lock Theo in the cells and interrogate him.
We get some of the Nazi werewolf's backstory.
He was an officer in the SS Ahnanerbe,
basically the bad guys out of the
Indiana Jones
movies. His obsession was the Wild Hunt,
because he thought he could make the Ghost Riders his personal army.
When his commanding officer asked how it was possible to control the ghosts,
the werewolf mutinied and killed him.
Of course, the General was right to be cynical
and the enlisted men suffered for the werewolf's overconfidence.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
), Lydia and Malia go looking for the portal to the Way Station.
Peter Hale refuses to help them,
because they have a poor plan and little chance of success.
Will he redeem himself by helping his daughter?
Teen Wolf [Season 6, Episode 9]
Memory Found
Shown 24 Jan 17
Liam teams up with the Sheriff.
They need Theo's help, so they have to let him out.
The good news is that the supposedly unkillable Ghost Riders
prove incredibly easy to actually kill.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
), Malia and Lydia try to summon Stiles back by remembering him.
This leads to a clip-show type series of flashbacks
showing the best Stiles scenes from the previous Seasons.

Riders on the Storm
Shown 31 Jan 17
The main Season villain, the Nazi were-lion,
tries to turn the Ghost Riders into his army.
He manifests their magical railroad into the real world,
and controls the lever that will divert the tracks.
Now Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and what remains of his pack must save the world.
The ending ties the show up pretty well.
It seems this was meant to be the final episode ever.
No new episodes were screened for the next six months.
Teen Wolf [Season 6, Episode 11]
Said The Spider To The Fly
Shown 30 Jul 17
Stiles has gone off to Quantico, to become a Junior G-Man.
He will probably not be seen again,
because the actor has his movie career.
At least he leaves a voicemail for Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
). Liam's girlfriend and her sister have left town too,
probably for budgetary reasons.
Scott volunteers as Assistant Coach on the Lacrosse team
while he waits to move to his college place.
Liam and his buddy Mason are in charge now,
as replacements for Scott and Stiles.
The oldest inmate breaks out of Eichen House.
He seems to be a Hellhound,
so presumably Deputy Parrish can deal with him.
Something is driving the local wildlife insane with fear.
Wolves and rats are the first victims.
Humans are also susceptible.
In Quantico, Stiles discovers what happened to Derek.
Yes, it looks like they will have their own subplot.
Teen Wolf [Season 6, Episode 12]
Raw Talent
Shown 06 Aug 17
We see what happened to Theo after he helped out a couple of episodes ago.
Without allies, he ended up sleeping in his truck.
However, this leaves him vulnerable.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
), Malia and Lydia try to hunt down the killer.
They suspect it is Mr Argent,
although he has not been seen around in ages -
in spite of hooking up with Scott's mother a few episodes ago.
Now he is an illegal arms dealer,
selling military weapons to anyone who has their own army.
The School has a new guidance counsellor.
Since the school staff are usually villains,
she should be the first suspect.
Lydia gets Deputy Parrish to visit Eichen House.
Unfortunately the staff are just as problematic as ever.
The epidemic of fear seems to have spread to the regular humans.
Worse, Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
) is back in town.
Ever since his son broke from his wolf-hunting agenda,
he has been looking for a new protege -
and now he finds one with Raw Talent.

Face-to-Faceless
Shown 20 Aug 17
This starts with a young woman getting cornered by some creepy men.
It plays out like the episode opener with Theo a few weeks ago.
After being outed, Liam does not want to go to school.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) makes him, but Nolan has turned the Lacrosse team against him.
In fact, Nolan wants to turn the whole school against him
by provoking Liam's intermittent explosive disorder.
Presumably nobody noticed it in previous seasons
because the Fear Demon was not around to cause paranoia.
Now, only the Coach seems to be immune to the paranoia ...
The Sheriff and Deputy Hellhound go looking for the faceless body in the morgue,
but it seems to have walked off by itself.
Presumably this is a fear demon,
which is amplifying everyone's fear and thus enabling Gerard's recruitment spree.
Scott wants to make peace with the Hunters,
ending the oncoming war before it starts.
Argent has a word with Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
), while Lydia meets with the guidance counsellor.
We get a flashback to
Teen Wolf [Season 5, Episode 17] A Credible Threat
, when the Beast left a school bus filled with mutilated tweenagers.
Yes, finally events have consequences.
It is a wonder that the town's mundanes did not notice the supernatural stuff before.
In the Prom episode of
Buffy: Season 3
, Buffy was appointed the Class Protector.
At least they did not try to kill her - except in the MOO episode.

The school bullies have a new plan -
cut the other pupils and identify the ones with superhuman healing.
They identify one who is a were-coyote.
Meanwhile, after he failed in the previous episode
Nolan has to prove himself to the guidance counsellor.
He is the Malfoy to Liam's Harry.
Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
) has set himself up as a licensed firearms dealer.
His fortified warehouse has thirty employees,
and enough weapons stored there to arm three thousand -
in a town of thirty thousand.
The paperwork passes FBI scrutiny.
This makes the warehouse Scott's obvious target.
He and Malia break in, with Argent and Lydia as backup.
As always, Gerard is a step ahead.
However, this gives Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) and Malia a chance to bond more.
Although she is his buddy's ex-girlfriend,
it was made clear in a previous episode
that Stiles would probably be okay with them hooking up.

Werewolves of London
Shown 10 Sep 17
The episode starts with a couple of American Werewolves in London.
They are gay lovers, former enemies of Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
), and former lovers of Lydia!
Scott has to build an army of his own.
He tries to recruit other former villains,
but he has done too good a job of defeating them.
Deucalion has chosen the path of peace.
Peter meets up in the secure wing of Eichen House,
which has apparently been closed down.
Rather than go on a murderous revenge spree,
these days Peter would rather cruise around in a car built by Carroll Shelby from
Ford Versus Ferrari
. Of course, this car is easily recognisable
so Peter is basically sitting in a massive red target.

The Fear Demon is split into two halves, each possessing a different victim,
and the Pack must stop them from reuniting like the Gatekeeper and Keymaster in
Ghostbusters
. They know that one half of the Fear Demon is a Werewolf from the branded pack.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey -
Truth or Dare (2018)
) sends Liam to school to investigate the new teacher.
Lydia and Malia visit the hospital morgue,
to get info from the dead Hellhound.
It turns out that he is only slightly dead,
but the cure will kill him anyway.

Argent has been missing for the last few episodes
because he went looking for allies.
He went to Mexico to hunt down Derek Hale,
who has been framed for murders committed by the Hunters.
Kate Argent (
) is also still on the loose.
The Fear Demon can literally petrify people with its gaze, like Medusa.
It has teamed up with Grandpa Gerard (Michael Hogan -
BSG 2003
), whose protege is recruiting regular people into her army.
The nurses and deputies are collecting all records of anyone
who might have a healing superpower.
Sheriff Stilinski has been abandoned
by all the deputies except for the hellhound.
Of course, this means the hellhound is probably the next target.

The Wolves of War
Shown 24 Sep 17
Scott has a cunning plan.
The Fear Demon is hanging around in the school,
so he sends his minions in and lets them split up
so they can get picked off one at a time.
Scott himself could simply wear a blindfold,
but he has a more extreme way of removing his sense of sight.
In a subplot, Scott's mother tries to save the wolf-boys in the hospital.
All in all, this is a decent Series finale.
A lot of loose ends are tied up,
although there are so many that the result just seems rushed.
Scott should have an army consisting of every surviving guest-star character,
but this show has neither the time nor the budget to make that possible.
