- SCOTT: Previously on - Teen Wolf...
- We're looking for - somebody named Stiles.
- You went by that name - in the Army, right?
- HAYDEN: - He's called a Ghost Rider.
(WHIPPING)
They take people,
and erase your memories.
You're next.
MELISSA: Someone
is biting open heads.
(CHOMPING)
The real question is, "Why?"
(TWIGS SNAPPING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(SIGHS)
You might want to think twice
before you sneak up on a man
holding a loaded M-24.
I wasn't sneaking up on you.
I was catching up with you.
(PANTING)
- I know. I heard you - a mile back.
- (BREATHING HEAVILY) I found - a low branch with my face.
- How do you even - see anything out here?
Practice.
Okay.
What are you doing,
Melissa?
- I thought maybe you - could use some backup.
Which way?
You can leave me out here
alone with a stun gun
and a box of Band-Aids,
or we can just keep going.
It's up to you.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
You're probably wondering
why I'm out here
when I could be
nestled at home reading
a book. And that's because
I'm sick of seeing people
that I care about
wheeled past the nurses'
station on a gurney.
All of you are out here,
risking your lives,
- and It's about time - that I do something too.
In my experience,
- when tracking - homicidal supernaturals,
it's best to be quiet.
Okay?
Yeah.
Oh!
What is it?
(WHISPERING) What is it?
(PANTING) He's dead.
Oh, no.
(GASPS)
It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.
- How long could she - survive like that?
One, maybe two minutes.
(SIGHS) It's still here.
- MELISSA: Exactly how much - training have you had
for a situation like this?
- Remember the part - about being quiet?
Yeah.
It's a werewolf?
Werecoyote.
Malia?
And she's coming
right at us.
- Oh. You're not gonna - shoot her, are you?
No, I'm going
to wing her.
(GUNSHOT)
(MALIA GROWLING AND SNARLING)
(SCREAMS)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
- That's how - he got in?
What is it?
- MASON: It's a point of impact - from a lightning strike.
- Usually you'd find - charred spots like that
- on the ground - after a violent thunderstorm.
That's how the Ghost Rider
got in. He rode lightning.
- If they can use lightning to - get past the mountain ash...
No place is safe.
- What about the others? - It's my fault they're marked.
- We'll find a way - to protect them.
All of them.
(MALIA SCREAMS)
- (CHRIS GRUNTS) - Keep her still.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
The morgue? I'm not dead yet.
You're a werecoyote.
It's private down here,
and this is going to hurt.
Try not to roar.
(GROANS)
- (MALIA GRUNTS) - You got anything for the pain?
No, I can take it.
It's for me.
- What were you doing - in the woods?
MALIA: Running.
At 2:00 a.m.?
- (GRUNTS) - Coyotes are nocturnal.
I heard screams.
Like someone-being-murdered
type screams.
- Did you see anything? - Catch a scent?
- MALIA: (GRUNTS) Just blood. - (SIGHS)
- (SIGHS) And that's all - I remember until
someone shot me!
- You were about - to tear us apart.
- It's not her fault. - When a coyote smells
a fresh kill,
its senses are overcome.
The blood drives it crazy.
- (MALIA WHIMPERS) - MELISSA: Sorry.
- It's pretty deep. - I'm trying not to damage...
(BOTH YELLING)
(MALIA BREATHING HEAVILY)
(PAINED GRUNTS)
Here's your bullet back.
- (STUDENTS CHATTERING - INDISTINCTLY)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(THUNDER RUMBLING FAINTLY)
You don't have
to follow me
around everywhere.
I'm just trying
to keep you safe.
- What? You're gonna sit - through all my classes?
And what about after school?
What about all night?
Wherever you go,
I'll be there.
I'll just stay here.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(DOOR CLOSES)
- "The K-index - quantifies disturbances
- "in the horizontal component - of earth's magnetic field."
What's a "K-index?"
It's a scale
that meteorologists use to
measure thunderstorm activity.
So, a K-Index value less
than 20 means no activity,
and above 35 is severe.
- LIAM: Well, - how bad's "severe?"
- MASON: Well, your - average storm has about
1,000 lightning strikes.
In the past three months,
the average storm in
Beacon Hills had 5,000.
And what's it reading now?
Uh, 14. We're clear.
- Okay, so if a spike in the - K-Index means more lightning,
then we can tell
if they're coming.
Yeah.
This is good.
Yeah.
(MONITOR BEEPING)
Actually...
This is really bad.
- LYDIA: It's a relic. - (STUDENTS CHATTERING
(INDISTINCTLY)
What's a relic?
- An object with a fixed - association to the past.
- Jake's ID was left behind - after he was taken.
- And Gwen found her sister's - bracelet on her bedroom floor.
- How can someone be erased, and - still leave something behind?
A conservation of mass.
- The total mass of any isolated - system remains constant.
- So, even the Ghost Riders - have a weakness.
- A relic would be proof - that Stiles existed.
- And maybe we can - bring him back.
- We need to hide them. - We need to fight them.
We need to hide them.
- Who's "them?" - The Ghost Riders.
The kids at the party.
Got it.
- We could get a lightning rod. - Attract the Ghost Riders and
catch them off guard.
- But since everyone from - the party is in danger,
- all we need to do is find - a safe place to hide them
until the storm passes.
- The Ghost Riders ride the - lightning. Nowhere is safe.
It is, if we're underground.
The Earth can ground the
lightning's electrical charge.
Everyone would be safe.
Okay...
- Here's what - we're gonna do.
- We take everyone - into the Argent Bunker.
It's underground.
It's lined with mountain ash.
- We stopped the - Ghost Riders last night.
We can do it again.
- You didn't stop them. - They just retreated.
We don't know why.
(EXHALES)
Okay. How do we
get everyone inside
the bunker?
Is this a joke?
No. (STAMMERS)
- And you got to take this - seriously. Once we're all
in the bunker, we'll be fine.
I'm not gonna miss the
first game of the year
so that you can make captain.
- They're a supernatural - forces of nature coming
to erase your soul.
- It was a man in a hat - with a gun.
- And he's coming back - to shoot you in the head.
You want to search my house?
People are leaving
things behind. So if
Stiles left anything...
- Why, why would it - be there?
You can't just erase people.
They leave things behind.
(SIGHS)
I couldn't sleep last night.
So, um, I got up, figured
I'd do some paperwork.
The files were in the back
of my car. So, I, I go to
the garage,
- and some junk has - fallen off a shelf and I,
- I stubbed my toe - on an old baseball bat.
- Without thinking - I yelled a name...
Stiles.
- JAYDEN: Why are we - underground?
- This is the way - to the bunker.
- You guys have a bunker? - Who are you people?
- We're the people who know - things about the things that
most people don't know about.
What?
- Just keep moving. - (SIGHS)
Liam... Where's Gwen?
I wouldn't touch that.
(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)
- What's all this for? - Your protection.
(GRUNTING)
- Hey, we're missing - three, plus Gwen.
- They're all - lacrosse players.
- They were at the party, - so they know what's coming.
- People see what - they want to see.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Guys, we're running
out of time.
Scott, we have to get them.
- I'll go. The rest - of you stay here.
- We couldn't fight off - one Ghost Rider.
- Who knows how many - are gonna be there tonight?
We're going with you.
- You're marked. - So am I.
- Yeah, me too, but - at least I can
see them coming.
(SIGHS)
All right. But if you
see them coming... Run.
- CLAUDIA: Is there anything - I can do to help?
No. But thank you,
Mrs. Stilinski.
- Well, good luck. (SIGHS) - I'll leave you to it.
(GASPS)
- (ECHOING) - You didn't see it,
did you?
See what?
- It's right in front - of your face.
(GASPS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(RIPPING)
- (GASPS) - What are you doing?
You're hurting me. (GASPS)
- I'm sorry. I shouldn't - have done that.
- I think that's something - we can agree on.
(PUDDLE SPLASHING)
(SIGHS)
Thanks for coming.
- You need my help? - I need a babysitter.
- I'm not the babysitting type. - Coyotes eat their young.
You could've killed me
last night. Or worse, Melissa.
But I can help you.
- Aren't you the one - who shot me?
- I come from - a family of hunters.
It's our job to deal
with situations that
an ordinary person...
Job stress?
You know that bloodlust
you felt? Oh, I've seen
that look before.
When I was your age, I saw
someone lose control and
slaughter an innocent.
And I did nothing.
I'm not that
werewolf.
No, it wasn't a werewolf.
It was a hunter.
And she made excuses.
Made a very convincing
case that lethal force
was necessary.
But it wasn't. And if I had
done something that night,
- then maybe my sister - wouldn't be the monster
that she is today.
Kate.
(SIGHS) Animals lose control.
- You're not just an animal, - Malia. You're also a human.
- You stay that way - by getting involved.
(DEVICE SCREECHING)
What are you doing here?
I asked her to come.
And I asked you not
to touch anything else.
- Look, how much - longer do we have
to be down here?
As long as it takes.
(COCKING)
- Okay, I'll stay. - (SIGHS)
- You've shot enough - people for one day.
- I'm not waiting - in a bunker
to get taken.
- (SIGHS) You have no idea - what you're up against.
- Last night, it took all of us - to stop one of them.
If you go out there,
they'll take you too.
They'll find me wherever
I am. Just like Phoebe.
- I'm sorry we couldn't - protect her.
But we can protect you.
- Don't worry. When it happens, - you won't remember me.
It doesn't have to happen.
You want them to take you.
LIAM: What's the plan?
- Convince Okafur, Steinbach, - and Wallace that playing
tonight is a bad idea.
- You've read everything - there is to know
on the Ghost Riders.
- Yeah. - And you're the only one of us
- who's figured anything out. - Have you come across anything
that could stop them?
Not yet. But I can try.
Do that.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I can do this.
(INHALES)
I can do this.
(EXHALES)
- You're late, McCall! - Why aren't you people dressed?
Get your asses moving.
Everyone on the field!
Hustle! Hustle! Hustle!
- We'll never get them - back into the bunker now.
Get dressed.
- Because there's only - one way to keep them safe.
Play the game.
- MRS. MARTIN: Were you tearing - Claudia Stilinski's wallpaper
off her wall?
- (DOOR CLOSES) - No.
Maybe. Yes.
- She's worried about - your mental health.
I saw someone in the
hallway. Someone
Mrs. Stilinski didn't see.
- Well, if Claudia is - not seeing ghosts,
- maybe it's because - she's not a Banshee.
I think he was trying
to help me find something
Stiles left behind. A relic.
Did you?
No.
- Mrs. Stilinski asked - me to leave before
I could find anything.
(CHUCKLES) Probably
because you were
tearing her wallpaper.
(SIGHS) Oh, honey.
I've known Claudia since
high school. I trust her.
(SIGHS)
Do you know what
a confirmation bias is?
- The tendency to interpret - information in a way
- that confirms - an existing preconception.
- Yes. It's a biased - perspective.
You're looking for proof
to support what you
already believe is true.
- Because you want it - to be true.
Stiles is real. I know it.
(SIGHS) But do
you believe there's
a possibility he's not?
Okay. Tell me
everything you know.
I'll be your
unbiased perspective.
(SIGHS)
- (PLAYERS CLAMORING) - (PEOPLE CHEERING)
I'll take Steinbach and
Wallace. You take Gwen.
You're on Okafur.
What if I see Ghost Riders?
Yell.
Then get ready to fight.

You wanna back off?

- WOMAN: - Go, Liam, go!
(ALL GRUNTING)
- STEINBACH: - Come on, man.
- There's no ghosts - out here, McCall.
(BUZZING)
What are you doing
out there? I'm gonna
kill the three of you.
- Do these guys - ever practice?
Not enough.
It's just first period.
They could still win.
- How do you know - that they can't get in
and shoot all of us?
I'll never graduate.
- I'll never do anything. - This is it!
Give me the stun gun.
- Can you think of a better, - less-seizure inducing way?
Don't any of you get it?
We are never
leaving this place.
- MALIA: Jayden. - (SHUDDERING)
- It's okay. Before they - get in here, they got
to go through us.
What if that's not enough?
- No one is getting - through that door.
(GASPS) Nathan's missing.
(PLAYERS CLAMORING)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

BOTH: Wrong team.
Sorry.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(WHISTLE BLOWING)
Yes, Dunbar! That's the
kind of passion I want
to see. Unleash hell!
What's gotten into everyone?
What if it's the
Wild Hunt? What if
it's affecting everyone?
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
- (WIND WHOOSHING) - (WHISTLE BLOWING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
It's Parrish. (PANTING)
He's the reason the
Ghost Rider left the party.
- Parrish? - Call on your sister.
- Tell her we need - to meet Parrish at
the school right now.
What about Gwen?
What about the other players?
We have to keep them safe.
Parrish could keep
everyone safe.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

- PARRISH: Why did - you call me?
- The Ghost Riders - are afraid of you.
What? How do you know?
You're the reason
he left Gwen.
You can stop them.
We need you.
The other you.
(SIGHS)
- You were good back - there with Jayden.
- Thanks. I still want - to kill Nathan.
- At this point, so do I. - Which way?
This way.
Are you okay?
(HORSES NEIGHING)
OKAFUR:
Oh, my God!
They're real!
- We got to get - out of here!
- Stay together. - We'll protect you.
How?

(GROWLING)
MELISSA: You want what?
You want what?
- Claudia's medical records. - Just for a minute.
We know it's a lot to ask.
It's up there.
It's way up there.
As the more recently
enlightened of the
two of us, just trust me.
There are lives at stake.
- Letting the two of you - look at private medical
records is completely
- and utterly against - hospital regulations.
So, we better make this fast.
CHRIS: You lost it?
No. I don't know. Maybe.
(PANTING) It's like
he was right here.
But no Nathan.
He's still here.
I know it.
(PANTING)
MALIA:
(ECHOING) Nathan,
I know you're there.
- How? - CHRIS: (ECHOING) Stay put.
We're coming to get you.
No, you're not.
- He's moving. You need - to stop running.
- You're gonna lead - them right to us!
Nathan!
- Shoot him. - Did you listen
to my story?
Just clip him.
You clipped me.
You healed. Come on.
We're wasting time.

- Sorry, guys. According - to her medical records,
Claudia never had children.
Well, but she had...
Frontotemporal dementia.
There must be a mistake.
- How long ago? - She seems fine now.
Ten years? I'm surprised
she's still alive, honestly.
It's a miracle.
(HAYDEN PANTING)
- Everyone from the - bunker has been taken.
Everyone? How?
It doesn't matter how.
- Malia is at the hospital. - Argent's been hurt.
My mom's with them.
Scott.
Tonight...
No. Hey,
it's not your fault.
It's mine. We should have
done both. Defend the bunker
and use a lightning rod.
- It would've given us - a better chance.
You okay?
No.
There he is. Look at that.
The humility. The grace.
Sure, that wasn't
lacrosse we played
out there tonight.
That was la-crap!
But you...
You stayed on the field
while the rest of these
losers ran inside.
Coach, we lost.
We lost everything.
Listen to the despair.
- The rage simmering - underneath it.
(SIGHS)
See that, people?
He still thinks he can win.
That's why next time
he will win. Because
he will find a way.
Now, show your new captain
some love, you pukes!
(ALL CLAPPING HALF-HEARTEDLY)
- I said, - "Show him some love!"
(CLAPPING)
ALL: (CHANTING)
Liam! Liam! Liam!
Is he okay?
(SIGHS) He has blunt force
trauma to his temporal bone,
three broken ribs,
and multiple surface
lacerations which
seem to be from
whip marks?
- What he needs - is a lot of rest.
LYDIA: What happened?
- MALIA: The Ghost Riders - took everyone. We barely
slowed them down.
Tell us you found
something.
I found out Claudia
never had children. So,
Stiles can't be her son.
What about a relic?
- There never was - a Stiles, was there?
It doesn't even sound
like a real name.
We have to keep looking.
- Check the school records - again. Or call Scott's dad...
- We're fighting - the wrong battle.
- We're trying to bring - Stiles back.
The Ghost Riders came back.
We still have no way
of stopping them.
And whatever they are,
they're real. We can't keep
chasing someone who isn't.
- He didn't leave - anything behind.
Just us.
(MONITOR BEEPING)
HAYDEN: Liam?
MASON: What are you
still doin' here?
Everyone's gone.
Literally.
And we should go too.
Do you want a ride?
I want to catch one.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
- What do you - wanna catch one?
- One of the - Ghost Riders?
Yeah. Go home.
We're not going.
We're not leaving you.
- Somebody just made - team captain, right?
Yeah. Guess I did.
Then what do we do?
We catch a Ghost Rider.
