Boyd – Lord is that a storyline I spot for Boyd! This episode gave us the most Sinqua Walls screen time of any episode and he delivered. After creeping Stiles out by breaking into the vending machine, he goes to get some ice where he hears a voice in his head saying he should have left. He digs into the ice machine to see a girl named Alicia in the ice! The breakdown gets even more intense when he returns to his room and the radio plays what seems like a police recording of a young Boyd being interviewed mentioning that he only took his eyes off her for a second and then she was gone. It takes Boyd a minute to break the clock but the damage is done. Boyd is so distraught by what he’s hearing that he tries to drown himself in a tub, using a safe. Luckily Lydia’s powers of death and quick thinking, enable Stiles and her to save him using flares.
Scott – Our main character went through it this week. Still under the pretense that Derek is dead, he was already out of balance. The motel got to him first putting him in a trance and bringing him into Allison’s bathroom. This was so amazingly creepy and worrisome, I was 5% worried there would be an attempted rape this episode but he snaps out of the trance and leaves. He returns to his room only to receive a call from his mom who sounds frantic and he sees Deucalion threatening her outside the motel, before slashing her throat. He gets so distraught that he threatens to end his life by dumping gasoline on himself. Stiles is able to talk him down from the ledge and he throws the flare away. Of course the flare rolls back towards the gasoline and Lydia pushes them out of the way. However, afterwards she sees this in the flames.
*faints* Chile what?
I’m team Ms. Blake but that magic healing vagina stuff was dumb unless we’re setting her up to be the big bad. And they should have kept it at the hotel and not had Derek in it this week. Or any week.
Aside from that, BEST EPISODE EVER. I know they’ve got some janky sfx on this show sometimes, but they spend the money they do have wisely. That shot of WHATEVER THE FUCK ABERRATION was in the fire was just as good as the kanima ripping that girl’s throat out last season and totally worth not paying Colton Haynes anymore. Grandpa Argent is the BOSS.
Also, that flare scene is the best Scott/Stiles scene they’ve ever had on this show. Bout time for Vernon to get a back story. Did Stiles and Lydia not notice that his feet were hanging out of the end of the bathtub? Ya don’t need fire that’s going to burn underwater, guys.
I love Chris Argent the most.
Poor bb Isaac.
I think Deaton is toast.
Was the vomiting contest winner guy on the bus at the end? Did they forget him or …? That ole lady’s going to have to turn her count up to 199, I guess.
First of all I hate you so much for making me cackle loudly with that colton haynes line LOL
Man I am on team Ms. Blake but they put her with derek and i just cease to care. I know several people have told me there’s a big payoff and that the relationship seems rushed for a reason, but that doesn’t make it any easier to watch. Like it’s never fun watching characters hit rock bottom and make terrible decisions but Derek has made SO MANY and in such a short time frame that it is painful watching his story with ms blake play out
But I totally agree, this was one of the best episodes Teen Wolf.
