So sad... yet so beautiful..... THE FOX AND THE WOLF
This episode was wonderful and heart-wrenching and made me sad. It easily ranks in my top five favorite episodes, mainly because I'm a sucker for flashback episodes. Soooo.... let's talk!!!
We started this episode off with the funniest joke of the season. The Nogitsune asking someone, "What has a neck and no head?" and then ripping their head off. Haha.. Nogitsune humor...
But then we actually started the episode with Stiles looking for Noshiko's (Kira's mom) tails. He couldn't find them and instead tried to choke Kira's dad. Noshiko, Kira, and Scott came to help and saved him with mushroom stuff(?). Malia had given Scott the photo that was found with the Nogitsune's body. He showed Noshiko and she revealed that it was her and her lover, Rhys, in the photo. She also explained that she is around 900 years old (time lord). She then launched into her flashback story about how SHE had conjured the Nogitsune. While she was story telling, Noshiko was also reassembling a sword that they would use to kill the Nogitsune.
FLASHBACK
During WWII there was a Japanese Internment Camp called Oak Creek. Noshiko was held there and often stole supplies for the people in her housing unit. She was secretly in love with one of the army medics, Corporal Rhys. They visited each other and were adorable. Everything was fine until the camp was struck with pneumonia. There was not enough medicine because the camp doctor had been selling the drugs on the black market. People were dying very quickly and the one's still alive got very angry. When the doctor came back to the camp the prisoners started rioting. It was all fairly peaceful until an officer hit an old woman in the face. That said woman was a werewolf and when she got hit she started to tear everyone apart. She burned Rhys and everyone started shooting. Many people were shot and killed, but Noshiko's body fought to keep her alive. The officers were going to dispose of the bodies and pretend nothing had happened. Noshiko, in her weakness, called on her ancestors for a Nogitsune to possess her body and stop the officers, but Nogitsune's are tricksters. Instead of possessing Noshiko, it took over Rhys' dead body and started killing everyone. Finally, Noshiko had to kill the Nogitsune with the help of the old woman/werewolf. The Nogitsune's spirit was contained in a firefly that Noshiko buried in the Nemeton. (Side note.... WHO THE HECK CHOPPED DOWN THE NEMETON?!?!?!?!??! That was one big tree... Was it Paul Bunyan???)
When Scott, Allison, and Stiles sacrificed themselves, it released the Nogitsune from its prison. Noshiko then told them that the only way to get rid of the Nogitsune and save Stiles is to kill him.
Also in this episode we saw that the Sheriff released Derek and Chris from jail. The Sheriff told them that Stiles' brain scan is exactly the same as Stiles' mom's was. The three men, plus Allison, decided to look around town for Stiles. They went to the hospital where the Sheriff and Allison had a heart-breaking moment that was very realistic and human. During this we got confirmation that Isaac is indeed still dying (NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). The gang then went to Stiles' room where they found the chess board with all the labeled pieces; the most important being King Derek. They eventually found Stiles at Derek's loft just waiting for them.
This episode was amazing and Arden Cho is awesome. Have a WOLFTASTIC week!!!!
P.S. THIS WAS TERRIFYING.
