We then check in on our other dynamic duo, Lydia and Allison, who manage to catch us up on everything relevant we wanted to know. Jackson has indeed become an American werewolf in London, Allison has been in France for the past four months and Lydia has indeed moved on to take them on a double date. They pull up to a stop light just moments before Scott and Stiles come to the same light. Is there only one road in Beacon Hills? Scott is going on and on about how he doesn’t think Allison will be coming back when lo and behold she in the next car over! This sets off a hilarious chain of reactions from Scott and Allison both encouraging their respective drivers to run the red light to Stiles rolling down the window to say hi before Lydia speeds off. Scott freaks out about it looking like they’re following them so Stiles does what any sane person would do and slams on the brakes. Allison tells Lydia to stop (in the middle of the got damn road) and she does. Moments later a deer charges into the Lydia’s window. For all the hoopla about winning the tax credit moving to LA, those special effects looked no better than ones when they were in ATL. Anyways, everyone is freaking out but stable, and Scott realizes through a touch that the deer was terrified, but nothing seems to be amiss.
We then cut to the hospital, which is going to be a major location this season, where Isaac and The Girl are being wheeled in. Isaac tells her that he will heal but she needs to help The Girl. The Girl, whose name I’m so damn tired of typing, tells Mama McCall that she has to find the alpha. Mama McCall asks her what she needs with Derek Hale, but the girl can barely reply before she’s wheeled away. However, she manages to breathe out that she’s looking for the other alpha. Not Derek or Peter or the Alpha pack…but Scott McCall.*record scratch* Girl what?
It’s the first day of school! Scott is in his room, in obligatory wife beater and tight sweats, getting in a work out before class. Well if the one-handed push ups and massive book reading are any indication, maybe Scott could be an alpha. Allison and Chris have a nice heart to heart about her going back to school. Stiles, of course, is researching deer vehicle collisions while the Sheriff is all but begging him to go. After trying bribing, extortion, he settles for just pulling the chair out from under him. Having a much happier time seems to be Lydia, who bought a new leather jacket…wait just kidding, it the jacket of the blond Abercrombie model laid up in her bed like he lives there. She throws the jacket back and she shoots down his offer of a date, but doesn’t shoot down his offer for another roll in the hay. This was clearly a ploy to remind us of not so dearly departed Colton Haynes but this scene just felt weird. One cause I don’t know any parents who would let their have sex on a school night and two, we already knew she moved on from that convo with Allison. Given the hoopla over that Lydia promo, I’ll be interested to see how people react to the fact that 80% of Lydia’s screen time this episode is devoted to her wanting to have sex with someone.
