Dr. Deaton and Vadim enter a fenced-in area in Russia. "I guess it's just you and me..." Deaton said to Vadim, as they entered the area. "I take it you don't believe the official story about the nuclear radiation?"

"This is not a nuclear plant."

"Do you know what it is? Or what it was used for?" Deaton questioned.

"I know the rumors. Superstition." Vadim said.

On the wall was carved something in Russian. "What does that say?" Deaton asked, pointing at the words.

"They come. They come for all of us." Vadim translated.

"The men in the masks?"

"Yes. Like these."

"What was the story?" Deaton asked. 

"They say they never took off the mask. Some people believed they had no faces underneath. But they had a symbol... The snake that eats itself." Vadim explained.

"The Ouroboros. Like that one?" Deaton pointed.

"What are those?" Vadim pointed to several jars with different things inside. 

"Failed experiments."

"On children?"

"Fetuses. These were done in the womb."

"Is that a claw?"

Deaton picked it up. "No... It's a tooth. I think I found what I'm looking for."

"What is that?" 

"An answer. We should leave here. We should leave now." Deaton said, but before Deaton and Vadim could make a move a shot was fired. Vadim was shot and killed. 

"Easy, Doctor. I know you have skills, but I'm pretty sure I can shoot faster than you could hit." A woman threatened, holding a gun to Deaton. "Do you know who I am?"

"I know what you're called... The Desert Wolf."

-Beacon Hills Preserve-

Scott runs through the woods. He stops at the edge of the cliff and lets out a howl. Malia catches up to him. 

"There's no scent. No tracks. No way to find them." 

"But Liam can howl back, right?" Malia asked.

"Only if he heard me..." Scott sighed.

-McCall's House-

Stilinski knocked on the door and Melissa opened it. "I haven't been able to reach the boys. I thought you said, you, uh, you had a situation...?" Stilinski asked.

"Yes, but... it's complicated. If you come in, I need you to leave your badge at the door."

"Uh... literally or figuratively?"

"Both would be preferable," Melissa said, cross-armed.

"Melissa, I... I've set my badge aside a few too many times in the last couple of weeks," Stilinski whispered.

"Well, you may need to do it a few more, considering what our kids get into in their free time. So, do you want to come in or not?"

Stilinski took his badge off. When he walked in Stilinski saw the dead girl, then he noticed Kira's sword. "Has anyone seen Kira tonight?"

"You don't think she did this, do you? Could this have something to do with Scott? Some kind of message being sent?" 

"Dispatch, this is Sheriff Stilinski. I got a one-eight-seven at 821 Williamson Road. Notify Beacon Hills Memorial."

"You know it wasn't Kira!" Melissa said, angrily

"You know it wasn't Kira!" Melissa said, angrily.

"There's a dead girl in your kitchen with a sword sticking out of her chest! What did you think I was gonna do? This is murder! This kid– this child– had a family. What am I supposed to just cover that up? This is a crime... And it's my responsibility to handle it within the parameters of the law."

"What about our kids? They constantly deal with things outside the law."

"But not above the law."

-Highway 115-

Kira is walking down the middle of Highway 115. Deputy Clark pulls over and talks her into getting in the patrol car. 

"Something... Something happened here."

"Cars usually happen here, going very fast. So, it might be a good idea to at least step out of the middle of the road... How about I give you a ride home? Does that sound like a good idea?"

"I think I came here to remember something?" 

"That's fair. But, considering how late it is, I think your parents are gonna be a little worried about you. Come on." Deputy Clark said.

Kira agreed and got in the back, but as soon as she sat down Clark handcuffed her to the seat. 

"What are you doing?" Kira asked.

"This is Deputy Clark– I've got the suspect, I'm bringing her in."
