This show.....
THIS SHOW IS JUST EVERYTHING.
Following it's stellar premiere last week, the gang returned to Beacon Hills to deal with baby Derek and figure out what the HECK was going on with him. I was admittedly hoping this would happen fast so I could feast my eyes on Tyler Hoechlin.
But I digress.
The whole plot unfolded as a master plan by Kate Argent, who was revealed to have quite the past with a very young Derek. Kate needed Derek back as his younger self, so that he would trust her to show him where the Hale family fortune was.
And it unfortunately worked.
The gang rallied together to try and save (baby) Derek from the Argent were-panther (I think that's what she is) but were met by some heavy competition in the form of Berzerkers. Scott, Malia and Kira were no match for the monstrous creatures, and it took (baby) Derek to return to the fold to help them.
Upon leaving Kate face to face with the man/wolf who ended her life, she prepared to battle Peter Hale.....
But UNFORTUNATELY, their battle was brought to a halt by an unknown assailant who blinded the pair and made off with the Hale $117 million family fortune....and Kate managed to escape.
FINALLY, while (baby) Derek was battling the Berzerkers, he returned to his natural form and all "Teen Wolf" fans rejoiced when, in the closing minutes, we got a glimpse at Tyler Hoechlin!!
The episode definitely felt more rounded now that the gang was back in Beacon Hills and out of Mexico, and the action was on point with what the series usually delivers.
What did you guys think of the episode?
SOME NOTES:
1. YAY for having Poppa Stilinski back....BOO for Poppa McCall.
2. How adorbs is Deputy Parish???
3. I need more Kira/Lydia scenes. They were hilarious together.
4. The whole Kate/Young Derek makeout scene was a tad too much, but it definitely added to the story.
5. The whole scene with Young Derek and Stiles with Poppa McCall was great. Nice to see the show bringing back the comedic side of Dylan O'Brien after a very dark 3rd season. I missed this!!!
6. Who do you guys think took the fortune??
7. How could I almost forget the look on Peter's face when he laid eyes on Malia!? That story line is just getting started people!!
