TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Derek: You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. Stiles: That was Derek Hale. His family... they all burned to death in a fire, like, ten years ago. Lydia: Is this is your house? Peter: Was. Scott: Who are they? Derek: Hunters... the kind who've been hunting us for centuries. Gerard: We kill them all. Derek: It's our sign for a vendetta, for revenge. Deucalion: Someone is going to die tonight. Derek: No. Everyone around me gets hurt. Unknown Werewolf: You're a Hale, aren't you? Hunter: Is this the one? Chris: Killed two of ours. Find the others. Bring them back alive. Alive. We go by the code. Cora: They were there for two days, waiting, hiding. That's what we're taught to do when the hunters find us... hide and heal. Stiles: Okay, so is two days standard, then, or are we thinking Derek's on, like, some extended getaway? Cora: Why do you care? Stiles: Why do I care? Let's see... because over the last few weeks, my best friend's tried to kill himself. His boss nearly got ritually sacrificed. A girl that I've known since I was three was ritually sacrificed. Boyd was killed by alphas. I... do you want me to keep going? 'Cause I can, all right? For, like, an hour. Cora: You think Derek can do anything about that? Stiles: Well, since he's the one everyone seems to be after, it's more like he should do something about it, yeah. Cora: I don't know. There's something different about him now. He wasn't like this when we knew him. Stiles: What was he like? Peter: A lot like Scott, actually. A lot like most teenagers... unbearably romantic, profoundly narcissistic, tolerable really only to other teenagers. Stiles: And so what happened? What changed him? Peter: Well, the same
SUMMARY:
Seeking answers, Stiles and Cora listen as Peter tells them about werewolf eye color - they change from yellow to blue when that werewolf first takes an innocent life. Peter tells them about a teenaged Derek, who fell in love with Paige. When the plan to turn her, to ensure they will always be together, failed, Derek was forced to kill her to end her suffering. Peter leaves out that turning her was his idea, and that he asked Ennis to do the biting. Elsewhere, Scott and Allison visit Gerard, whose pain Scott helps alleviate in exchange for answers. Gerard explains the origins of the feud between the Hunters and the werewolves, but leaves out that Deucalion had originally wanted peace - Gerard was the one who sabotaged a meeting between the two sides, before blinding a vulnerable Deucalion. Dr. Deaton and Ms. Morrell are revealed to be emissaries - modern day druids, advisors to Alphas and ambassadors between werewolves and humans.
