- Natalie's back. (Only) Karen missed her.
- Has Karen ever missed an episode?
- Our favorite quotes both come from the same scene.
- We also give a shout-out to the episode's Nikola Tesla reference and how it ties into the science of the supernatural.
- Stiles killed a dude! Finally!
- It's actually less intentional than Natalie hoped, but Karen has some justification for that.
- How reliable is Donovan's interpretation of his father's story?
- Does Stiles remember killing people as the nogitsune?
- Remember when we discussed the possibility of Stiles as a "
poisonous friend"?
- We ask ourselves some questions: is this a gateway drug to Stiles being okay with killing, will he be held culpable for this, and if he was a werewolf, would he have blue eyes now?
- Parrish is taking the bodies. Has anyone checked on the Nemeton lately?
- Why just THESE bodies/experiments? Why not all dead?
- The
Dread Doctors novel. This trope of reading your current situation in a book is a bit
Goosebumps, but we find it really creepy.
- There's something very revealing about the dynamic between Stiles and Lydia in this episode, romance or not.
- Kira specifically asked for Scott's help because she felt like something was wrong with her supernatural side. Why did he lie to her?
- What's
actually wrong with her? What changed? We discuss the information about the kitsune revealed at SDCC.
- Stiles defends killing as self-defense. Scott disagrees. Who's right, who's wrong, whose rules do you play by?
- Another charming Eichen House employee, and Natalie has a little moment about American customer service. No offence to anyone listening. BUT REALLY.
- That must be a lot of mountain ash to make them so woozy. And why can Lydia cross it? Where does she fit as a supernatural person?
- We see the competition-winning Sluagh - will we see him again? He shapeshifts into lost souls.
- Is Valack evil? Hope not, because Natalie is in love with him. Who's side is he on? Not the Dread Doctors, at least.
- How does recording Lydia's scream even work?
- Where's his former cellmate Peter?
- We discuss a little bit of research on the Valac demon, which Jeff hinted about.
- Stiles still likes Lydia. What does that mean, exactly, and what purpose does that serve at this point?
- Scott and Kira's conversation is very natural and the throwbacks to the past keep the reality and the history of the show clear.
- Natalie's worried about fandom drama, Karen says that the show belongs to the writers.
- The Dread Doctors are able to make Kira's powers malfunction in order to break down Eichen's defenses. Valack thinks they are all idiots, clearly.
- However, he does teach them about why he wrote the book and how it can help people remember the Dread Doctors - they're a bit like
Doctor Who's The Silence.
- They took his magic eye! How sad. Why - are they collecting parts to put in other creatures? Was he made by them many years ago?
- This is all because the kids set off the Nemeton - what's the difference between fault and responsibility?
- Karen's frustrated that people don't know Theo is evil.
- Why was the Desert Wolf shooting up the Tate car? We theorize. Also, it's not Kate Argent, right?
- Natalie also thinks Theo and Malia might be related via the Desert Wolf. Hmmm.
- Kira and Scott are still a bit insecure in their relationship.
- Who's more doomed - Scira or Stalia?
- What are Valack's intentions now that he's set himself free?
- We answer some feedback questions, including why isn't Lydia sensing the "made" supernatural people's deaths? And how are the Dread Doctors choosing people to experiment on?
- Has Peter told Valack about the kids? Natalie makes it about
Hannibal, because duh.
