-Shiprock, New Mexico-

The Skinwalkers and Kira began fighting. One of the Skinwalker's flick sand in Kira's eyes, preventing her from seeing. As Kira takes her hand to wipe the sand from her eyes, another Skinwalker knocks her sword out of her hand. The third Skinwalker throws a javelin at her shoulder, pinning her against the stone wall. 

The three of them approach Kira. "She's frightened." The first Skinwalker said.

"But she's not frightened of us." The third one confirmed. 

"She's frightened of herself." The second one said.

Noshiko listened to the Skinwalker's and stood her ground. "Can you help her?"

The Skinwalker who seemed like the leader looked at Kira with curiosity. "We can try."

"If not, she stays." The third one said.

"What... What does that mean?"

"If we can't help you, you'll stay and become one of us– a Skinwalker." The first one explained.

"You'll walk with us under the sun, through the dust..." The third Skinwalker described.

"Forever." The second one added.

Kira looked terrified, the Skinwalkers let her go and she fell to her knees. As her shoulder was bleeding from the spear, the wind suddenly picked up making it hard to see in front of her. 

-McCall's House-

Stiles is in Scott's garage, repairing his jeep. He's pulled out a bunch of wires from the inside of his hood. He doesn't seem to understand the purpose of them, so he just tosses them to the side. He pulls out a large, rusty cylinder and he sets that along with the wires. He reaches for one of the wrenches and starts tightening a bolt. 

Scott's walking down the stairs with a black duffle bag in his hands. Liam was waiting for Scott downstairs. "They're alive," Liam said.

Scott looked at Liam in confusion. "I mean, the Chimeras. Some of them– not all of them." Liam corrected himself.

"I know."

"Oh... You do?" Liam asked, surprised.

"Yeah. I... I'm sorry, I can't talk right now, Liam." Scott said as he started towards the door.

"It was Theo. He's the one who brought them back, and now they're with him. Like they're his pack."

Scott nodded. "I know."

"Hayden's one of them."

"She's okay?" 

Liam nodded. "She's alive. I'm not sure she's okay, but she's alive."

Scott looked relieved. "That's good." Scott turns to leave again, but Liam stops him. 

"Where are you guys going?"

Scott sighed. "To get Kira. Her dad told us that her mom took her to New Mexico, to this place called Shiprock. They're trying to figure out a way to help her. But, it's dangerous... So, we're gonna go find her and bring her back." Scott explained.

"I'll come with you!" Liam eagerly said.

The sudden movement caused Scott to step back from him. "Uh, you can't..."

"Let me help. Let me do something. Just tell me what I can do."

Scott hesitated for a moment, as he called from over his shoulder

Scott hesitated for a moment, as he called from over his shoulder. "Don't do anything."

I stood at the bottom of the stairs as I could feel Liam's emotions. "Liam..."

He turned to me with this sad face. "I want to help but he won't let me. Leia, what am I doing wrong?" 

I walked over and wrapped my arms around him. "You're doing nothing wrong. You're trying and that's what counts."

-In the Garage-

Scott walked over to Stiles who was still working on his jeep. "So, what did he want?" Stiles asked.

Scott shrugged. "To help."

Stiles picked up a socket wrench. "You gonna let him?"

Scott thought about it for a second. "Eventually, I guess..."

Stiles stops what he's doing. "Okay, but shouldn't he be a little higher on your priority list right now? I mean, since he's the only other actual werewolf? Your only actual Beta?"

"I have daughters you know."

"Wow. Never thought I'd hear you say that." Stiles said as he continued working on his jeep.

"Anyway, Stiles you didn't see the way he came at me. You didn't see the look in his eyes..."

"Well, I've been with you on a full moon, so I've seen that look," Stiles said. "You want to get the band back together, Scott? You don't leave out the drummer." 

Stiles closed the hood and hopped in the driver seat, turning the key to start the car. The jeep roared to life. "Success! Yes!" Stiles shouted, throwing his fist in the air.

Scott and Stiles get in the jeep. Scott in the passenger and Stiles in the driver's seat. Scott turns to put his duffle bag in the back seat when he notices there are six bottles of oil. 

He looks at Stiles. "It's a minor leak," Stiles said, pinching his index finger and thumb together. "Very minor."
