Back at the Hale loft Lydia and Ethan try and warn the Hales about the incoming Battle Royale. This scene was made all the more hilarious cause all of the Hales were standing in the shadows. Like no one could turn on a light? Anyways Peter encourages Derek to flee in that ugly as FJ Cruiser (first bit of good advice?) and Cora says that if he’s gonna fight for something, do it for something he believes in. Given what happens later idk if we know what Derek really believes in. Anyways Peter turns to Lydia to help him convince Derek and they still can’t manage to find the right tone with these two. Lydia says it feels like she’s standing in a graveyard.
Meanwhile the parents are still stuck in the basement. This part of the episode was kinda boring so I’m going to skip over it for now. They are supposed to be getting rescued by Scallisaac but they manage to get delayed by none other Rafael McCall who has arrived at the Argent Weapons Emporium to interrogate them. Now throwing aside whatever happened with the McCalls I do feel slightly bad for the parents on this show because it positions them in situations where we root against them because of what the kids are doing. So in this sense we’ll always be against someone like Papa McCall, who is just trying to do his job. However, that didn’t make the bad ass way Allison used that smoke bomb to get them to escape any less awesome. The Scallisaac trio is now on their way to rescue the parental units.
We pop back over the the loft of OMG Can We End This Foolishness already, Kali is confronting Ethan and Lydia about Derek’s whereabouts and Lydia fires back some killer snark about giving her a referral to a pedicurist. Then the 2nd most awesome thing ever in the history of a Teen Wolf finale happens when Jennifer falls through the damn skylight like a G and then she lands and flips her hair back like Scarjo in The Avengers and is all
And pops up ready for a fight like a fucking bad ass. Let me tell yall how I jumped off my couch like I caught the Holy Ghost and started yelling like the photo below.
That was an amazing entrance.
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.
