Scott, Allison, and Kira are outside of the Sheriff's station. They are trying to get a hold of Katashi's silver finger from the evidence van. But they weren't the only ones after the finger. A man known as Kincaid burst out of the armored truck, grabs Parrish, and slams his head into the truck, knocking him out.

Kincaid gets Katashi's silver finger from evidence. "We need that finger," Scott said from behind him. Kincaid turns around, Allison is standing there with a crossbow ready to shoot.

Kincaid smiles at them, "Why would I give it to you?"

"There's a briefcase in there with one hundred and fifty thousand in it," Allison offered.

"The scroll inside this prosthetic finger is worth three million," he informed.

"Give me the finger... You know what I mean," Scott flashed his eyes red.

Kira leaped down on him from the top of the truck. He tosses her to the ground and looks up with glowing blue eyes and fangs. "I guess negotiations are over."

Kincaid pulls an arrow out of his shoulder and turns just as Kira goes to attack him. He grabs her by the throat and slams her into the wall, then smack's Allison across the face, sending her into the brick wall next to Kira. Scott attacks Kincaid, but none of his punches affect. Kincaid grabs Scott's arm and head-butts him, causing Scott to go down.

Kincaid kneels next to him, "You have the eyes of an Alpha, but where's the strength?"

"Up here," Ethan said.

Kincaid looked up, the twins and I stood upon the balcony overhead. The three of us jumped down, the twins began to attack Kincaid. Lydia ran up to help Allison to her feet.

"Ethan, Aiden, stop!" Scott demanded.

"You want him to come after us?" Aiden asked incredulously.

"Scott, we've seen guys like this. Trust us– he's dangerous." Ethan said.

"So are we. And he looks smart enough to remember that." Scott takes the finger from Kincaid's coat and retrieves the scroll from the inside, "We're here to save a life... not end one."

As they started to walk ahead, Kincaid whispered under his breath. "There's a way... a way to change him back."

I slowly turned around, "What? What are you talking about? Change who?" I questioned curiously.

"...Your father."

~Eichen House~

At Eichen House, Oliver, Stiles' roommate fought with Malia. He accused her of lying about the orderlies drilling holes into their heads. Malia manages to snatch the keys off one of the orderlies and slip them to Stiles. The two of them go down to the basement and go through the files. Malia finds files that indicate that patients used to go through electroshock, ice baths, and trepanation.

"Could you do me a favor? Could you just check the lines on my back? Just tell me if they're fading?" Stiles asked lifting the back of his shirt up.

"Yeah, they're almost gone. I'm guessing that's bad?"

"Hmm..."

Stiles shivers from her touch, "Sorry, I told you I'm always cold." she apologized.

He takes her hands in his tries to warm them up. She stares at him, and Stiles realizes that she's giving him a wanting look. Malia kisses him, and Stiles looks a little confused at what is going on.

"Was that your first kiss? Was it okay? You want to try again?" Stiles asked.

"I want to try something else." She starts taking her shirt off and lays her back on the basement couch.

"Something else...?"

"Yeah..."

~Later~

Stiles and Malia are cuddling on the couch. Malia notices something about the wall with the symbol on it, she walks over to it and starts to knock on it. Stiles and Malia can hear the hollowness, so Stiles grabs a pipe and breaks the wall open. Inside, they find a mummified body of a Japanese soldier with a katana on him. Malia reached into his pockets and pulled out a photo, "Recognize them?" handing the photo to Stiles.

"One of them," Stiles replied. "I have to get this to Scott." Oliver appears from behind, using a taser on Stiles, "You took Brunski's keys... I took his stun gun." Then he stunned Malia, "I also got his Haldol." He stuck Malia in the neck with the needle to knock her out longer.

Stiles wakes up strapped to a chair, struggling to get out. "Like I was saying, Stiles, they used to do trepanation here."

"Oliver...? What are you doing?" Stiles asked weakly.

"I'm going to let the evil spirits out. I borrowed a few pointers from the five-point restraint system."

"Oliver, stop this! Oliver, listen to me– stop! Oliver! Oliver, stop!" Stiles begged as Oliver approached him with a drill.

"Start with her." a voice from the darkness spoke.

"You did this. You got into his head." Stiles said looking at the Nogitsune.

"Every Dracula needs a Renfield."

"Just let her go," Stiles begged as he struggled to get out.

"Let me in. Stiles... Do you want her to leave here alive? Do you want us to leave? We can walk out of this place..." the Nogitsune whispered in his ear.

"Just let her go, please," Stiles cried.

"Let me in! Let me in, Stiles! Let me in!"

" Just let her go, please!" He screamed.

"Let me in, Stiles! Let me in! Let me in, and I'll let her live."

Stiles calmed down and finally agreed to let him in.

"Oliver."

"Stiles?"
