Confrontation time – and nearly everyone has now been
disappeared to the Wild Hunt Station. Including Noah Stilinski
Yet Liam and Theo are still running around. It’s like the Hunt wants us to suffer.
They fight the hunt to keep it busy – and manage to do
this all episode. All episode. Seriously the most dangerous, skilled fighters
in this entire town have lasted no more than 10 seconds but Baby Wolf and
Traitor Who Should be Dead manage to fight them for a whole episode?! They
actually engage in wrestling.
And Theo sacrifices himself. Because of course he does.
Don’t even pretend this character is good now because his murder dreams of his
sister make him feel guilty.
Now to characters we care about
Last episode Scott, Malia and Lydia realised the best way
to get Stiles back (and, hopefully, save the world) was to remember him as much
as possible
Memories involve near death experiences. Apparently. This
is how memory works now.
In this case they’re going to freeze themselves nearly to
death and hope this induces a hypnotic state and allows them to then access
their memories: with Lydia guiding Scott and then Malia’s memories
This leads us to a lot of powerful flashbacks to some of Teen Wolf’s past awesome emotional
connections. Including
that almost suicide scene. For the inevitable clip show episode it didn’t
do so badly, it wasn’t that gratuitous and it was actually quite effective.
They discover it’s less about memories and more about emotional connection.
Doesn’t leave me much to write given we’ve spent several
years recapping Teen Wolf, though.
After going through Scott and Malia they confirm that Lydia
is the one with the most profound bond to Stiles (hey Teen Wolf it’s bad enough you had Alison declare her eternal, SOLE
love for Scott on her
deathbed while Isaac and Kira watch – and now we get to see Malia tell
Lydia how she had the most profound bond with Stiles? You’re cruel Teen Wolf so very cruel).
Lydia opts out of near death by freezing because she’s
human and sensible. Instead she opts for actual hypnotism. See, she’s the smart
one. Also Malia attempting hypnotism is hilarious.
We have another montage of moments and Lydia remembers
she was the last person to see Stiles and he asked her to remember him… and he
said he loved her. And she didn’t say it back
BANG with that emotional moment we get a bright light. No reveal of Stiles but I’m going to guess that Stiles is coming back
