And if theres anything else we know, its that Scott and the gang cant leave town just yet.
But before we get to that, lets catch up with everyone.
We start the hour at lacrosse practice, where Scott has swapped a jersey for an assistant coach jacket.

To convince Finstock that Liam is worthy of being captain, a title he first earned last season.
So I guess thats the end of that relationship.
Thankfully, Scott is there to help manage the situation, but Liam is not their only wolf-related problem.
An actual wolf not a werewolf, just a wolf walks onto the field.
The best part of this scene?
When NO ONE questions Liam and Scotts decision to follow the wild animal into the woods at night.
I mean, I knew Finstock was an irresponsible adult, but COME ON.
Once in the woods, Liam and Scott discover a plethora of dead wolves: bad sign No.
Malia, for one, doesnt want to hear anything about it.
Lydia tries to explain the situation, but as Malia puts it, shes done with mysterious animal situations.
Lets reiterate: She is NOT sticking around for another Beacon Hills mystery.
At least not until a bunch of rats take over a classroom.
Its obvious that this woman has an interest in the supernatural side of things.
Everybody knows that that was no animal, Nolan says.
he changes the subject (though I was really hoping hed respond, Hot ones).
There, they find a pile of dead rats something Mason calls a rat king.
And thats when they call Malia.
She smells the rats and confirms that they smell of fear.
But dont expect some scared rats to convince Malia to ditch Paris.
The final web she touches says, You let it out.
You were supposed to ride with the Hunt forever.
Just like that, theyre not going anywhere, and after a minor guilt trip, neither is Malia.
Its not you, he tells Liam.
It must be stopped.
Meanwhile, Liam asks zero follow-up questions about what this guy is talking about.
So far, I think its safe to say Liam is not nailing this whole the new alpha thing.
Back in Roscoe, Lydia, Malia, and Scott have a go at figure out a plan.
As Lydia puts it, We opened a door to another world, and something came out with us.
The new guidance counselor just put some kind of special bullet right between his eyes.
So I guess you might kill a Hellhound after all?
And then theres the real kicker: The bullet that killed him has the Argent engraving on it.
In other words, people are going crazy and now is not the time to leave Beacon Hills.
However, is it the time to make Stiles return?
However, Stiles doesnt need to be in Beacon Hills to have his hands full.
(And yes, hes shirtless.)
It seems our favorite Hale is now wanted for mass murder.
So this should be fun.
But once it got going, I was happy to be back in Beacon Hills.
And I have to say, the Stiles-Derek twist was the greatest moment of the premiere for me.
