"Derek? Derek, where are you?" Jennifer calls into the loft
"Right here." He says and she runs to him and hugs him
"Thank God! Something happened at the recital, at the school, okay? I need to tell you before you hear it, before you hear it for any of them." She says.

"From who?" Derek says
"Scott, Stiles... They're gonna tell you things-- things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me." She says
"What is it?" He asks.

"Promise you'll listen to me." She says
"I promise." He says and she kisses him and then pulls away
"They're already here, aren't they?" She says and Stiles, Scott and Rayne walk out of where they were hiding.

"So, they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?" She asks
"We told him you're the one killing people." Scott says
"Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour-- that way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. Makes perfect sense." Jennifer scoffs.

"Where's our dad?" Stiles asks as he holds Rayne's hand
"How should I know? Derek, tell me you don't believe this?"
"Do you know what happened to Rayne and Stiles' father?" Derek asks.

"No!"

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Scott says
"You almost killed Lydia. Oh you are such a fucking bitch." Rayne says
"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that!" She objects.

"What do you know?" Derek asks
"I know that these boys and girl, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story-- And one they can't prove, by the way." Jennifer says
"What if we can?" Scott says holding a jar.

"What is that?" She asks
"My boss told me it's a poison and a cure... Which means you can use it... And it can be used against you." Scott says
"Mistletoe?" She says and he throws it at her reveal her true self.

"Oh that's an ugly fucking bitch." Rayne says and Derek picks her up by her throat
"Derek, wait! WAIT! You need me!" Jennifer says
"What are you?" He asks.

"The only person who can save your sister... Call Peter... Call him!" She shouts
"It's not good. She's in and out of consciousness, she's vomiting up black blood, along with one other alarming substance..." Peter says through the phone
"Mistletoe." Derek mumbles.

"How did you know that?" Peter asks
"Derek... Derek, what are you doing?" Scott asks
"Her life... it's in my hands!" She says and he tightens his grip.

"Stop! Derek, stop!" Stiles asks
"Stilinski... you'll never find him..." She says
"Derek! Derek!" Rayne says loudly and he lets her go.

"That's right. You need me. All of you."

"What is it?" Scott asks Stiles as they drive to the hospital
"I don't know... Something feels wrong about this, you know? We proved it to Derek, but she still had this look like it didn't matter. You know, like it was all going to plan. You saw it, didn't you?" Stiles says.
