before it all starts over again.

Maybe it could still be a dream if shed knocked him unconscious?

Regardless, he eventually wakes up when Scott and Liam pull Malia off him.

Its hard to argue with that.

Its also hard to argue with an emotional Scott saying, I cant lose Stiles.

Yes, I teared up.

(But that was quickly followed by me wondering just how much Scott remembers at this point.)

With that, their plan to catch a Ghost Rider is underway.

Why theyre using Hayden as bait and not Theo is beyond me.

But once hes inside and without his gun its time for the second part of the plan.

Wait, just kidding!

There is no second part!

Unless you count Liam calling him Mr. Rider the second part.

Thankfully, Mason is still part of the pack and realizes the Riders were never scared of Parrish.

They were trying to talk to him.

Those who hunt with us hunt forever.

Just think of it as the clear eyes, full hearts, cant lose of the Wild Hunt.

And when Scott refuses to accept that, the Rider somehow forces Parrish to turn.

And once Parrish is in Hellhound mode, he tries to free the Ghost Rider.

(So they can control him mentally?)

More on that in a moment.

While all this has been going on, Malia has been dealing with Peter.

So, in an unexpectedly paternal/heroic move, Peter tells Malia to run while he holds them off.

And yet, they turn back before he has to do anything.

More importantly than his name, though, is his accent!

Theres no hiding around Theo, so Mr. Douglas over here goes full-on Nazi.

And once he gets Theo to break the mountain ash barrier, he enters the cage with the Rider.

Is he the key to saving Stiles?

Speaking of Stilinski, hes peeled back all the wallpaper to reveal a door … to Stiles room!

Lydia tells him Lenores story, but Stilinski isnt buying that he conjured Claudia.

And by some miracle, he catches it.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

And thats the end of the hour.
