All good things must come to an end. Well good is relative and end is just the midseason finale of Teen Wolf’s 3rd season. For a season that has showed such vivid promise, these past two weeks have been rough. Would the finale restore the glory to the series or continue in the downward spiral? I’m happy to say that “Lunar Ellipse” at least stemmed the bleeding and will set Teen Wolf up for the second half of the season.
The show opens with Scott, Stiles and Allison waking up in their bath in a warehouse that looks to be a olf set from I, Robot or The Matrix. And what would one find in such a place? A nemeton of course. Scott looks at the nemeton rings and flashes back to him getting his tattoo. We get a few seconds of him putting two and two together before we get flashbacks to the night Scott was bit. It’s a nice bit of fan service going back to those moments and they all find the nemeton. If you needed a reason why this episode was called Lunar Ellipse or what Scott’s tattoo meant there it was in all it’s heavy handed glory. I can’t for the life of me figure out why they awoke in that warehouse as opposed to just in the forest having these flashbacks but I’m not writing the show so…They come out of their stupor in the real world to find out that they have been out for 16 hours and the lunar eclipse is four hours away.
Meanwhile at the Hale Loft of Terrible Familial Interactions and Shitty Plots, Derek is recovering from what we discussed on the Demon Wolfcast last week. But Cora’s alive (yay?) and Kali is on her way to rip Derek limb from limb. Derek is looking one step away from passing out but assures Peter that he’ll be ok. Someone who might not be ok? Scott, who even after that ritual, has to go back to Deucalion. No one seems to be here for that plan except for Deaton, who mentions that to eliminate a threat sometimes you have to work alongside people you wouldn’t normally do. All I could think about in this scenario is why Scott thought Jennifer was the main problem here like not the Demon Wolf dude? Anyways speaking of people who you might not normally work with, Ethan picks this moment to ask for their help in keeping Kali and his brother from killing Derek.

Thank you for explaining what all of the Derek/Jennifer stuff at the end was about. I didn’t really get how she got weakened. Did she get weakened when she healed Derek earlier in the season? I don’t really know what Jennifer was doing most of this episode. She waited 16 hours to kill those people but Derek is just as good as killing them or …. Eh, not going to try here.
I thought the end showdown was okaaaaay, but it was kind of symptomatic of how cluttered the plot was this season. Derek and Scott really didn’t have much of an invested interest in Decaulian vs. Ms. Blake either way. Derek could have let her kill the Demon Wolf and it seems like that would have solved a lot of people’s problems. If Decaulian had killed Ms. Blake then, well, the parents are saved & they are back to square one. Maybe if we knew why Decaulian wanted Scott or what his plan was? The Alphas never totally made sense.
But Jennifer coming through the roof and laying the BEAT on Kali and the twins was A++++. Would have watched that for an hour. I booed when the twins were alive. And then we’re all just going to pretend they aren’t murderers now?
Who thought it was a good idea to bring Lydia by herself to that loft with a guy who basically assaulted her and then have her hanging around for Kali? Isaac doesn’t want to go with her? Somebody? I don’t think I’d trust that twin THAT MUCH.
Sad about Jennifer, but at least Teen Wolf finally killed off a villain.
I like to think Ms. Morell was like, ‘Nuh uh,’ and got the fuck out of Beacon Hills.
Enjoyed the finale on the whole. Not sure I’ll be back in January. Recent history hasn’t had a great track record of supernatural shows’ season 4s (or 3.5 or w/e they want to call it to not have to pay Daniel Sharman more). But the promise of Allison The Vampire Slayer has me intrigued.
