The Best Episode Ever

OMG!!!!!!!! GALVANIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I freaking LOVED this episode!!! It was perfect on all accounts. Seriously, there is nothing you could say about it that would change my mind... NOTHINGGGGG. I can easily say it is my favorite with Motel California close behind. It was as perfect as Scott and Kira, Stiles and Lydia, and Isaac (he is fine alone). Let's dig right in, just like Kate dug right into Allison's intestines :)

Derek and Peter's storyline continued to be allusive and strange, leaving us with many questions. They were back in town with their wooden container that ended up containing Talia's claws. Peter sucked (?) them into his fingers and stabbed Derek in the backbone. This caused Derek to go into a trance where he saw Talia as a full-fledged wolf standing on the nemeton. He presumably talked to her but we did not get to hear the conversation. Instead we got to see Derek wake up from his trance looking very panicked and worried. This made me very panicked and worried... And where the heck is Cora?!? (A: Filming Reign)

The main storyline this episode was surrounding William Barrow, a bomber that killed four kids because he saw their eyes glow. He needed surgery and they, of course, sent him right into the arms of the best nurse in town, Mama McCall.
It's true.
They begin surgery, but as they started they notice a tumor that proceeded to pop and spew flies all over the room. LIVE flies. While this was happening Barrow woke up from his anesthesia and escaped to Beacon Hills High School... how convenient. He used chemicals to mask his scent and eventually left the school, but not before he wrote the atomic number for Potassium, Iodine, and Radium on the chalk board. And not before this nightmare waiting to happen...

Meanwhile, the gang was looking for Barrow in the school but had no luck. Lydia kept hearing a buzzing and was sure it meant that Barrow was near. When they couldn't find him anywhere, her confidence was shaken. Good thing Stiles was around to reassure her. This was truly the most beautiful scene ever with MAJOR Stydia feels. Not only was it nice but also super clever. Stiles had different colored yarn, with red standing for unsolved. The entire scene Lydia was wrapping the red yarn around her fingers showing that she truly is a mystery that they haven't solved. But then you had Stiles start unravelling the yarn from her fingers showing that it's okay that they don't understand her powers, they still trust her. 
Through this touching scene Stiles realized that Barrow had probably used chemicals to mask his scent and they went to the school to prove it. There Lydia found the atomic numbers and discovered they were a code for KIRA, Barrow's intended victim. 

During all this craziness, Allison and Isaac were trying to find something about flies in the bestiary. They were incredibly unsuccessful mainly because they were too busy taking their shirts off for each other. This scene was honestly the funniest thing I have ever seen on television. When Mr. Argent came in I lost it, and when he said, "Allison can I talk to you in my office, WHERE I KEEP MY GUNS", I may have died. 
At the same time, Scott was having a sushi/pizza party at Kira's house. This whole storyline was really cute and so fresh. On a show like this, when they introduce new couples and characters it can sometimes feel like been their, done that. I feel none of that with Scira and love it. 

While leaving Kira's house, Scott was almost killed by Barrow who then stole Kira. Scott woke up to Stiles and Lydia telling him that Kira had been Barrow's target all along. Lydia thought she knew where Barrow had taken Kira but couldn't figure out where until Stiles told her to scream. She  gave it her best shot and was then able to figure out that Barrow and Kira were at a power substation (my favorite hangout). They rushed to go save her but were ultimately too late. Barrow had already tied up Kira and was in the process of electrocuting her when Scott ran in. Little did Scott and Barrow know that Kira can absorb energy. She killed Barrow and absorbed all the electricity in Beacon Hills right in front of Scott. I knew I liked her. 

Other noteworthy moments in this episode were Ethan and Aiden trying to join Scott's pack. Scott turned them down which lead to a discussion on whether or not he is the hottest girl in school. Isaac eagerly agreed, leading to a very adorable Scisaac moment. Also the best quote of the episode from Ethan, "Dead is still better than being in high school". I totally agree... And of course, our cliff-hanger. Isaac was alone in Allison's room when the three firefly creatures appeared and attacked him. I am predicting that maybe the creatures are the dead emissaries from the Alpha pack's old packs. I can't remember if the twins ever had a pack, but if they did that means one emissary could be alive (Jennifer, Jennifer, JENNIFER). 

I have given up trying to blog about an episode the day after it airs. I'm sorry to my faithful readers, but you can expect the post by no later than Friday that week. Have a WOLFTASTIC weekend :D
