Kira's mom needs a lesson or two in parenting.

On Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 13, Kira's mom took Kira to see the skin walkers because she believed that they would be able to save Kira. Okay, I'm all for unconventional methods, and those skin walkers had some interesting fashion styles happening. This was a cool premise.

The issue was that it took us away from the main issues of the season – Theo, Dread Doctors, chimeras, and the beast. We had to put all that on the back burner for the majority of the hour to watch Kira and the skin walkers.

One thing I absolutely loved was that every time Kira judged the skin walkers, her mom shot her down by pointing out that they aren't that much different than Kira. I was applauding. It's not nice to judge people, Kira.

Here's what I really don't understand: Kira's mom seemed to accept the idea that Kira would be staying with the skin walkers. She even told Kira that if Kira had to live with them forever that would be okay because it would keep Kira alive. It's a little hard to imagine leaving your kid behind to be with the skin walkers, but Kira's mom would do it to keep her daughter alive, which should be the goal of every parent.

Then, when the skin walkers announced that Kira failed their test and had to stay with them, Kira's mom changed her mind. She didn't have as strong of a reaction as Molly Weasley, but she did draw her sword.

Kira's mom did a total 180, and it made me question the entire point of this excursion. I'm not even sure she would have let Kira stay if Kira had passed the test. It would have been better to see Kira's mom stick to her guns a bit longer or have her reluctantly escape in Roscoe with Sciles and Kira, and then make some comment on the way home about how maybe the skin walkers weren't what Kira needed. 

Let's examine Scott's game plan, shall we?

He decided that he needs to reunite his pack, and it's about time he caught onto that little detail. Sadly, that's the only thing Scott did right.

Instead of reuniting with Liam, who was in Scott's room ready to make things work, Scott decides to go get Kira even though she's battling a demon fox spirit that's inside of her. Kira is away for her own safety and protection. Let her work out her shit, Scott.

Instead, let's focus on the people you can mend fences with. Stiles at least tried to convince Scott to work things out with Liam, but  Scott's clearly hung up on the whole "Liam tried to kill him" thing. That's understandable, but Scott should have stuck around to have a conversation with his beta.

Then there's Malia. Scott told Stiles that he knows what Malia is planning, but he kinda pushed her aside to be dealt with at a later time. I mean she's just going to go kill her mom, but Kira is more important right now. Because that makes sense. You do you Scott, I'm just going to sit back and judge.

Who do you think Scott should have tried to reunite with first – Malia, Liam, or Kira?

One of the annoying things that Teen Wolf loves to do is to just drop you into a storyline without any explanation. Oh, look Theo and Tracey are at the school at night talking about something. We just interrupted their hunt mid-conversation. 

It's confusing and jarring. Sure, after like a minute we catch onto the fact that they are hunting for the Beast, but how did they know to look at the school? There are a lot of questions, and it's not like we got any answers.

Another annoyance is that we miss huge revelations. We learn that Theo is looking for a blind alpha aka Deucalion by Mason and Liam telling Scott about what CoreFy told Mason.

You know what would be more interesting or exciting? If we spent the episode with Theo doing research or something on this mystery person that would solve all his problems (or whatever Theo hopes Deucalion will do for him), and then after trying to guess what Theo's up to, then Theo drops the "blind alpha" bombshell that makes everything click into place.

It's not all that shocking to hear Liam and Mason repeat what they heard. I can't get excited by that. Also, I'm still confused as to why this came up on Mason's date that wasn't a date. We didn't even get to see Mason hear this information. This "bombshell" should have been handled better.

What even happened during this hour? 

No seriously, someone explain it to me. We spent the majority of the time with Kira, and then somehow Liam and Mason gathered things from Theo's pack, and that was basically the hour. Bor-ing!

There was also some overly dramatic and creepy scenes at Eichen House with Lydia. Yes, I want to know more about her powers, but Meredith isn't telling me anything I don't already know or that Lydia doesn't already know. Instead of doing your creepy ghost teacher routine, how about you actually teach something? Also, if you could tone down the creepy, that would be great.

Let's have a training montage or something! Lydia's far too intriguing of a character to waste by sticking her in some super weird storyline where she's separated from everyone. Give me like one to two episodes where Lydia actually gets some instruction on how to use her voice as a weapon and whatever else she can do, and then let's reunite her with the gang. Sound like a game plan? Okay, break!

I need to stop being shocked by the levels of Theo's douchiness. 

On Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 14, Theo decided to do something nice and help Malia by drugging her and then later shooting her.

I'm honestly still not sure why Theo had to join in on the Deaton rescue mission. What was he going to do anyway aside from make snarky comments and then betray everyone?

Can we take a moment to discuss the Dread Doctors' goggle moment? That was way too much.

I had to turn away from the TV whenever Malia put the goggles on. I don't mind gore, but this torture element came on a little strong for my liking. What did you think?

I was actually shocked that Theo shot Malia. It was an actual gasp out loud moment. I'm kicking myself for believing that Theo was above hurting her.

He just seemed to like her enough to not leave her for dead. Now it's crystal clear that the only person Theo cares about is himself. He would kill anyone to get what he wants.

Theo's endgame is to steal the beast's power. Its power is just that it can kill really well, right? I don't know why Theo needs to steal that power. I'm sure he can be a great murderer all on his own. He did a decent job killing his sister, so...

This master plan is definitely not what I was expecting, so it earns points for that. Plus, it speaks a lot to the kind of man Theo is. He's always looking for his next power fix. It doesn't matter how powerful he is, it is never enough.

In order to steal the beast's power, we are going to have to dig into the beast's history quite a bit, and that is one of the more interesting aspects of this season. It's what I would have liked to have done with the Dread Doctors, but whatever, let's leave them a weird mystery.

Most of his chimeras (not sure if Hayden is in the loop) seemed to know about Theo's master plan, but why are they helping him become a killing machine? It's hard to see what's in it for them.

Previously, Theo told Hayden that if they stick together, the beast won't hurt them. Maybe the chimeras are operating under the assumption that if Theo becomes the beast, they will be spared. It's all a little confusing. Why do you think the chimeras are helping Theo out?

MVP of the night is Braeden, hands down.

She was the one who looked out for Malia's best interest and became the BFF that Malia is in desperate need of. Braeden clued Malia in on the obvious fact that Scott wouldn't hold Malia accountable for Deaton's capture, and then she also pointed out that Theo is a snake.

He killed Scott so he's no friend in her book. We should all strive to be a little more like Braeden, you know? A badass with a good head on our shoulders.

Well, Lydia finally learned how to use her voice as a weapon. Meredith didn't do all that much teaching, so she was useless. What was nice about this whole "training" session was that a premonition that Malia was going to die was what kicked Lydia into gear.

It was the realization that her friends are in danger, and she's trapped in Eichen, helpless.

Please I have to tell them. They're all going to die. My friends, they're all going to die.

Lydia

• Permalink: Please I have to tell them. They're all going to die. My friends, they're all going to die.

Lydia's always been about trying to save her friends. To take it back to a super painful moment, when Lydia was kidnapped she tried her best to keep Allison away because Lydia knew that if Allison came to save her, Allison would die. Lydia's friends are everything to her.

It would have been so great if Lydia escaped Eichen and just showed up at Scott's house right as they were planning their rescue mission. Lydia doesn't need a pack to save her. She's more than capable of doing it herself, thank you very much.

While it's strange to admit, Gerard was actually a nice addition. He's someone who has a lot to bring to the beast fighting table, so to speak. Plus, it's really interesting to see him interact with everyone again.

He brings a strange dynamic, and it's fun watching him and Argent fighting on the same side. The team up to confront Parrish is a prime example of that. 

Parrish: Hellhound. What if you were wrong? Would you have burned my eye out?

Ready for a look at what went down on Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 14?

Let's do this, shall we? Scroll down now...

Watch Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 14 Online

On this installment of the MTV drama, Scott attempted to put his pack back together after all that took place last week.

Elsewhere, Malia and a new ally set out to rescue Deaton from the Desert Wolf.

This was a challenge, however, as you might have expected it to be.

What else took place? How did the hour leave us hanging off a cliff?

Click on the video above to watch Teen Wolf online and to get the answer now.

Introducing McCall's Six, a sort of well oiled criminal mastermind machine.

On Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 15, we take a break from a good bit of the supernatural terrors that are plaguing Beacon Hills, and we switched gears to breaking Lydia out of Eichen.

This was a pretty well thought out plan, and it was fun seeing Scott and Stiles getting into trouble like this again. Even though we're dealing with a criminal offense, it was more fun and a lot lighter than the normal hijinks they get into.

I'm glad that we took the time to show each plan being set into motion. We had Stiles trying to convince Parrish to drive the van, Liam and Scott getting body bags from Melissa, and Malia helping Kira prepare. Nothing was rushed, and it added to the enjoyment. 

My favorite part of the entire hour was Malia being Kira's cheerleader. If I had to pick someone to cheer me on, my first choice would not be Malia. She really did try her best to be encouraging though.

Her scenes with Kira put a smile on my face, and I enjoyed seeing these two spend time together. We could have easily had Scott be the one to help Kira train, and while it would have been cute, it wouldn't have been as cute as Malia in goggles.

One thing that bothered me is how all of a sudden Lydia was dying tonight. How did we come to that conclusion? Will she most likely die in Eichen if she doesn't get out soon? Yes. She has been in bad shape for awhile, but I don't know if she would have died that night.

It felt like a way to raise the stakes of this escape mission, but it didn't really work. At the end where the guards are coming and Theo and his gang of chimeras are there was a much better way to raise the stakes.

It got your blood pumping, and I don't know about you, but when Stiles first got to Lydia, I was yelling at him to hurry up. There's no time for chit chat. You only had five minutes to get her out.

Of course, the hour ends with Lydia still being stuck in Eichen. On the bright side, everyone else is locked in too. The fact that Eichen went into lockdown did make things a bit more interesting, especially since this means that the next episode will be spent with everyone trying to get out of Eichen alive, assumedly.

Theo and Hayden, they found it. They were looking for Noah, but they found a symbol. A circle inside another circle, carved into a wall. The symbol of Scott's pack.

However, I would really just like Lydia to be out of Eichen already. I feel like we've been trying to break her out for awhile now, probably due to the fact that we've seen parts of this hour in previous episodes (example: We've seen Theo stroll in saying he's here for Lydia but actually wants a hellhound).

Hey, remember when Lydia was happy and not in danger? Good times.

Speaking of Stydia, their reunion was heartbreaking. Between Stiles' face at seeing Lydia's present condition and Lydia's reaction to Stiles being there, I was a wreck. Were you satisfied with the Stydia reunion?

The Hayden and Deucalion scene came out of nowhere. Everything else is going down at Eichen, but then we cut to Hayden on guard duty. It was jarring and completely random. I love watching Deucalion be sassy, but I would have rather spent time in Eichen.

What do you think Deucalion's was trying to accomplish by telling Hayden that the talons will kill Theo? It's not like Deucalion cares for Theo's best interest or anything, so there has to be something else going on. Maybe he was trying to gain Hayden's trust, so he has someone he can manipulate later on. What's your theory?

So you never worked for anything and you're basically a cheater?

Let's take a closer look at what went down on Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 15, shall we?

You can watch the episode online via the following video, too, of course.

Watch Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 15 Online

But this installment of the fun MTV drama centered on Stiles learning that Lydia was in imminent danger, reacting to this situation by coming up with a plan to break her out of Eichen House.

Theo, however, had his own plans for her.

Cue the dramatic music!

To see how this showdown came to a conclusion, do what we said above:

Click and the watch Teen Wolf online right here and now.

On Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 16, the McCall pack has to join forces with some chimeras in order to save Lydia and make it out of Eichen alive.

The chimeras proved that they aren't all bad. Well, except for Tracey. I still don't trust you. 

The electricity kid (I need to make a chimera name cheat sheet) helped Kira in exchange for Malia helping Corey. It was so entertaining to see him and Malia state their lack of trust in the other person, and then the life saving happened, and it was beautiful.

Why can't we just be one giant pack, you know, maybe without Theo and Tracey. They need to prove themselves at least five times before I completely trust them...maybe seven.

Speaking of Theo, he teamed up with Stiles, and thankfully, Stiles got us some answers. Theo can bullshit his way with just about anyone, but not with Stiles. Been there, fell for that. Stiles is done buying into Theo's lies, and he makes Theo spell things out. This is just one of the many reasons why I love you, Stiles.

It turns out, Theo does want to steal the beast's power, but only so he can snap its neck and save the day. It's still hard for me to completely trust Theo, but I like this possibility. It means that Theo does ultimately want to do the right thing.

He just goes about it in morally gray areas, and he totally has a thing for power. Do you believe that's what Theo wants to do with the power? Also, what did you make of him claiming the Dread Doctors tricked him into killing his sister?

We finally got some answers about the Dread Doctors and the Beast! Huzzah!

Thanks to the now deceased Dr. Valack, we know that the Dread Doctors want the Beast to remember who s/he was back in the 1700s – a crazy good and stone blooded killer.

Once the Beast remembers who it was, the teenage chimera that the Beast currently is will cease to exist and the killing machine will be back. It's nice to have some answers, isn't it?

So maybe I'm not the good guy in your eyes, but I might end up being the guy who saves all your asses.

Of course we still don't really know anything about the Dread Doctors themselves, but let's just ignore that. I've pretty much given up hope on ever learning anything about them. If they could just go away, that would be great.

We need to stop using Lydia's predictions to just amp up the drama and tension. If a banshee says someone is going to die, well then that person should die.

Lydia has said too many times that everyone is going to die. She even told Stiles that he wasn't going to make it, so either Stiles needs to be near death next episode or Lydia needs to stop saying things like that after screaming. Not that I want anything bad to happen to Stiles, I just want something Lydia predicts/says to actually carry some weight.

It's become hard to tell when Lydia is actually making a prediction. I've stopped caring whenever Lydia says someone will die because her predictions haven't come true in a long time. Is anyone else getting annoyed by this?

First off, let me say that I absolutely adored Stydia tonight. There was slow motion running, hand holding, a plea to survive, and "Stiles saved me." Stydia stepped up its game, and I was a wreck during it.

Stiles was tearing up at the end when Lydia took a breath after way too long (there may have been yelling at the TV...I wasn't going to let Teen Wolf kill Lydia like this). 

It will be impossible to go back to being just friends after this. Stiles and Lydia went through one hell of a life or death situation, and Stiles proved just how far he will go for her. Stiles and Lydia have danced around this before, but you can tell by the way they looked each other in the eyes that something has changed.

Sorry, Parrish, you did a good thing by hugging Lydia and blocking the force of her scream, but Stydia was the ship of the night.

You saved my life, mom. Stiles saved me.

Lydia

• Permalink: You saved my life, mom. Stiles saved me.
• Added: February 09, 2016

All that being said, I still would have preferred that Lydia rescued herself. She's a badass, but recently she's been deduced to nothing. She's there for the horror element or to make predictions that, as we just discussed, don't seem to carry any weight. 

Lydia is stronger than this. I know we have Malia and Kira being all badass, but that doesn't mean that there's not enough room for Lydia to join in. I don't want a Lydia who needs to be rescued or is in a catatonic state. I want Lydia back with the group making contributions and getting stuff done the way only Lydia Martin can.

Seriously, what did we learn by having Lydia locked up? I feel like we gained the most from her time in Eichen during this hour. We got Beast answers, and we saw the chimera/McCall pack team up. Other than that, what did Lydia being away from everyone else do?

I don't really know what to make of Deucalion's presence. He's just sort of there to be sassy. Deucalion was someone to be feared, and now he just sits around and tries to cause tension in the chimera pack. Is he ever going to actually do something or are we just in store for more chit chats between him and Hayden? 

Okay. Here we go. Ram the wall. Going to ram it with my car. Just smash through it. Take out the power. Save my friends. Here we go. Alright. Just ram it and destroy my beautiful car that my parents bought on my birthday, but I'm going to save my friends. Here we go. Ram the wall.

As for what actually went down on this installment of the MTV drama, Scott really hoped to rescue Lydia after she found herself trapped in Eichen House with Theo and his Chimera Pack.

Did he succeed?

Is Parrish dead or alive?

On Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 17, Argent and Gerald devised a way to have Lydia talk to the Hellhound. It was great to finally have a chat with the guy, except it brought on a lot of questions.

He said that Parrish was dead – specifically he died in Afghanistan, so ever since Parrish appeared in Beacon Hills, he's been dead.

Watch Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 17 Online

Okay, that part sucks, but I can understand that, maybe. The part that trips me up is that Parrish comes back when Lydia asks the Hellhound to remember the moment Parrish died. Please bear with me while I try to make sense of it all.

Maybe the Hellhound is the only thing keeping Parrish alive. Obviously Parrish is alive because it's not like the Hellhound can fake Parrish's personality and memories. The Hellhound could be saying that if he left (not sure if the Hellhound could even do this), Parrish would die. Does that make sense?

The other option is that the Hellhound just views everyone as dead because like he said, he is infinite. Honestly, who knows, really? This is Teen Wolf we are talking about here. There are some things that you just have to accept. 

Time for the next Parrish/Hellhound related question! Parrish now remembers that he is the Hellhound, I think. How does Parrish remembering the Hellhound reveal what the next step in defeating the Beast is?

If the Hellhound knew, wouldn't he have just done whatever that next step is? Does the Hellhound just not have the energy or power to be the Hellhound full time, even though Parrish has been "dead?"

So, it wasn't until the Hellhound and Parrish remembered each other that the Hellhound could do whatever he needs to defeat the Beast?

My brain hurts. I think I'm also more confused now than when I started writing this review.

It happens every night. I don't know when, and I don't know what triggers it, but at some point every night, I leave. When I come back, I find burned clothes and blood. If I didn't know certain things, I'd call it sleepwalking. But I'm not just wandering out the door. I'm heading out with purpose. I'm searching for something. That's why I need you to follow me. I need to know where I'm going, and what I'm doing. If people are getting hurt because of me, if I'm adding to the body count, I have to know. When I wake up at night, when it takes over, I want you to follow me. If you have to, I want you to stop me.

It was nice to have a talk with the Hellhound though. He clearly was the missing link to the puzzle. Of course, we are left with more questions, but isn't it the thought that counts? Plus, it was awesome to see Lydia go toe to toe with the Hellhound. "You're not the only harbinger of death, bitch" is basically what she said.

Speaking of Lydia, it was so great to see her out and about again. Not going to lie, she looked a little weird wearing normal clothes. I'm just not used to it. 

I wish there was a reference or two to Lydia being in Eichen or at least a time frame as to how long it's been since we broke her out. Lydia seemed completely back to normal, and if I was her, it would have taken me at the very least two weeks to return to that state. I would be having Eichen nightmares for months. 

Finstock, I love you. It was so great to see him again. He really lightened up the hour. I loved that what got him out of rehab was that Stiles and Scott wanted to forfeit the game. Finstock checked himself out of rehab just to make sure the game played on. We need more Finstock in our lives.

Finstock: I hate charity games. They're meaningless.
Stiles: Well, I don't think the charities would disagree.
Finstock: What's it for this year?
Scott: Cancer.
Finstock: For or against?
Stiles: Against, Coach, deeply against!

Those skin walkers are looking pretty good right about now, aren't they?

Kira's not good. She's gone all demon fox again, and while Scott got through to her, it took awhile. I'm so happy that Kira's condition didn't just magically go away. This is something that needs to be handled.

How? No idea, but it's doubtful that Scott or Deaton has a plan that Kira's own mother didn't think of or try first. Do you think there's any cure for Kira?

We did get some more answers on the Beast tonight. Basically, the Dread Doctors are forcing the Beast to shift every night to help speed up the memory retrieval process.

Eventually, the teenage chimera will disappear and the Man of Gévaudan will return. Does it make sense? No, but it's a little bit easier to understand than Parrish's situation.

It's nice to understand more of the Dread Doctor's end game. We knew what they wanted, but now we know how they plan to go about getting it. They are using their favorite tool. No, not torture – frequency. Mason, you are a genius for figuring this out! 

Anyone know where Theo went? I'm not saying I missed him and his shady hair, but it was weird that he wasn't there. Maybe he was off having a sass-off with Deucalion. Also, it looks like two members of his pack have joined the McCall pack. I'm sure he's not happy about that.

What did you think of "A Credible Threat"? Did Liam survive his attempt to fight the beast? I mean Parrish looked like hell (pun not intended) after going up against the Beast, and Liam's basically Scrappy Doo. I love you, bb, but I think the Beast can kick your ass without breaking a sweat.

Time to gather around creepy Uncle Gerard for story time!

On Teen Wolf Season 5 Episode 18, Gerard tells the story of Marie Jeanne, the Maid of Gevaudan to Lydia because he and Chris Argent believe that Lydia is essential to stopping the beast.

Before, we delve into that, let's discuss the tale of Marie Jeanne, who had a pretty badass cloak, by the way.

It's a shame because her story was a bit rushed. We had to pick up pieces of slightly important information as Gerard's tale progressed. For instance, Lydia pointed out that Marie Jeanne didn't take down the Beast alone, but aside from Henri, what did everyone else do?

I mean they went on a hunting party and got killed. Did they just help Marie Jeanne burn things that Sebastien owned because I'm pretty sure she could have done that herself. 

Then, we had rapid introduction of characters like her brother Sebastien and either his friend Marcel or their other brother. Honestly, I'm not sure. Then, there's Henri who seemed to know a bit about the supernatural, and yet Marie Jeanne is considered the first hunter and not him. 

There were also things that just never quite clicked during Gerard's story. Marie Jeanne's tale should have gotten a full hour, so we would have really had the time to flesh it out. Still, it was really cool to go back into history like that.

Based on the dramatic music, the Argent connection was supposed to be a surprise, but I'm pretty sure that as soon as Crystal Reed was announced as returning as coming back to Teen Wolf, we knew that she was playing an Argent. 

They searched from dawn till dusk, hoping to find the Beast where it slept, but they knew that they would most likely only encounter it at nightfall.

it's still unclear to me how Lydia is potentially a way to defeat the Beast. Is she supposed to tap into the Beast's mind or something or what? Like she said, she isn't Allison. She doesn't have Argent blood flowing through her body, and she isn't a skilled hunter.

It would have been nice to have Argent or Gerard give at least a hint as to how Lydia can stop the Beast. Because right now I've got nothing. Gerard convinced Lydia to stay to hear the story because she could play a huge part in stopping the Beast. So now I'm a little confused. How do you think Lydia can help?

Even when Scott was hiding from the Beast, he was aware and concerned for all the innocent students around him. It's moments like these that make you remember how great of a guy Scott is, and why he is a True Alpha. 

I was so relieved that Scott had a plan. I was hoping that maybe he was fighting the Beast just long enough to keep it focused on him and not the innocent people, but I got concerned during the intense showdown in the library. Scott does not have a good track record with fights to the death in the library.

Scott fought the Beast for that long in order to get it's scent so he could track it once it became human again. A+ planning there, Scott! I'm proud of you. Sure enough it worked, and the Beast is Mason?

My brain cannot process this. I need to know more about when the Dread Doctors experimented on Mason, and how he is a genetic chimera. Other than those questions, this was a pretty good twist. 

We like Mason. We don't want him to be an evil killing machine and get erased from existence. Mason's too adorable to be the Beast. I mean he was in shock whenever Liam ripped the page from the library.

Mason being the Beast means that now the fight to defeat the Beast has a whole new other purpose. We want to save Mason from being the Beast, if that can be done. In an ideal world, we turn Mason back into a normal teenager or a chimera.

This also means we are not on the same side as Theo. Yeah, remember him? I know it's been like two episodes since we've seen him, but Theo wants to take the Beast's power and kill him. Sure, maybe Theo could take Mason's power and not kill him, which would be good and it would potentially prevent Mason from turning into the Beast again.

Okay, now I'm unsure as to whether Theo's plan could be beneficial. What do you think: can Mason be saved and do you have any theories on how?
