Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't believe I forgot to extend my Teen Wolf recording. This is not the first time I've missed the end! Ack! This episode was on severe drugs--some literal--and I'm not sure if I missed anything. Well, I'm recording againt to see--I can't even remember the precise place it cut off.
I did guess during the ep that Allison's stalker might be related to Jackson's shenanigans. But I can't lie--the loops they're tying their plots and mythology into exceed the amount of attention I was paying, so I'm playing a bit of catchup from just casually watching.
About Mama Argent--how do parents--those parents in particular--not get to talk to their daughter when they want to? If my mother needed ten minutes or ten hours of my time, she got it. And I think she was pretty relaxed compared to the hunter killer Argents. Man, TV's excuses for not having conversations are generally pretty weak.

I liked Alphas and Warehouse 13. I did wonder if Rosen really ended up with the best deal he could have. He has operational control. (That's only if men with guns don't override it, but that would apply to any deal.) But some not very nice people still assign missions. On the other hand, with operational control he can sneak in his own missions, and interpret the ones he does not approve his own way. And they still have "drugged and institutionalized" as their counter-offer if he negotiates too hard.

Mama Argent would have made a kick-ass werewolf. I hope they bring her back as an avenging ghost or something.

I'm wondering if a knife to the heart would really be lethal to a werewolf. Didn't Peter and the Argents cut werewolves in half to ensure that they were dead?

Maybe if they kill her before her first full moon it's different? I'm assuming if anyone knows, it's her. But I was also assuming the corpse in the background was going to sit up, and figured that might have been one of the things that got cut off in my early ending. Because Tumblr is fucking screaming, and I can't work out why. I liked the episode, and the angst, and the vision, and poor Stiles and his guilt (I have no interest in Isaac finding his anchor, however--him and Erica make my eyes roll to infinity unless they're dirty threesome dancing with Jackson), but I don't get what was so freaky.
And they're also freaking out about the trailers for next week, which I haven't seen, so I'm falling behind there too. I hope this fandom doesn't get so excited I can't keep up and get overstimulated. I like the work product.

ita ! at what point did your episode cut off? Mine cut off early too, but there was definitely something to freak out about before it did, if you want me to tell you. I'm retaping it Saturday to see what else I may have missed.

I didn't see who came out of the floor, if that's it. I did catch the reveal that the stalkery kid was controlling the Kanima, but that was not a surprise by about halfway through.
eta: Aha! It's Peter. That makes sense, with the manipulation of Lydia. And that means Derek isn't Alpha anymore? Does Peter inherit the pack? Including Scott?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The last thing I saw before it cut out was Derek and Peter were tied together while Peter was slowly being restored and Derek was begging Lydia that she didn't know what she was doing. It cut out just at that point, so I didn't see if anything came after that or any previews.
