In the New Mexico desert, Kira and Noshiko Yukimura face three. Kira manages to hold them off for a bit with her sword. She is blinded by some dust and ends up pinned to the rocks with a spear through her shoulder.

Scott winced slightly, "that's gotta hurt" he mumbled. "Hope it wasn't poisoned" Pete said with a smile making theothers roll their eyes.

The Skinwalkers say Kira is frightened of herself. They say they will try to help her. If they can't, if Kira fails, she will be forced to stay with them and become a Skinwalker like them forever.

"Woah woah woah! What!?" Lydia gaped. "Well it isn't a bad offer. If they can't help her control herself, she is threat to everyone around her. Safest thing would be for her to join them" Talia explained when she received looks of shock and disbelief.

Stiles Stilinski is outside Scott McCall's house working on his Jeep. Inside, Liam is waiting when Scott comes downstairs. Liam is eager to tell Scott about the resurrected chimera and Theo's pack but Scott says he already knows. He is surprised and pleased to learn that Hayden is back from the dead. Scott is in a hurry to find Kira. He says he and Stiles are heading to Shiprock, New Mexico. Liam wants to help but Scott says no. He tells him not to do anything until he gets back.

"Ouch man" Stiles winced. "That was cold" Mason winced as well while Liam squirmed in his chair. Scott meanwhile sighed and looked at Liam apologetically which he didn't really notice.

Scott explains to Stiles that he will eventually allow Liam to help but after the way Liam came after him, the look in his eyes, he is hesitant. Stiles says if Scott wants to get the band back together "you don't leave out the drummer." The Jeep is running again. Scott notices the back seat is loaded down with bottles of what appears to be anti-freeze. Stiles explains that there is a very minor leak. As they pull onto the road a steady stream of fluid pours out from beneath the Jeep.

" 'minor' " Laura quotes making Stiles roll his eyes.

Theo and Tracy Stewart pursue The Beast of Gevaudan to the high school Theo says they're not trying to catch it. Inside, the message "Damnatio Memoriae" is scrawled across the lockers but can only be seen using Theo's werewolf eyes. Theo says the messages are the means by which the Dread Doctors hope to get the beast to remember who it was. Tracy points out that it's just another chimera with a kid inside. Theo says the Dread Doctors don't care. They just needed a body because they couldn't resurrect the beast out of thin air. The teenager inside is just a side effect. Theo says the beast is probably unaware that it becomes human during the day.

"So he's living a double life like some secret agent?" Mason asks with a hint of excitement. "Yeah! Secret agent of death, but yeah" Peter says with a snort.

Tracy explains that she read about the beast killing 113 people. Theo says it was closer to 500 according to the Dread Doctors. They hear the beast around the corner in the school hallway. Tracy flicks her claws and heads that way. She finds The Pathologist and attacks. She is knocked into a locker and is downed with little effort. The Surgeon shows up and tells Theo to leave, that he already has his pack. Theo complains that it wasn't enough. Getting a pack didn't make him an Alpha, that he's not even a real werewolf.
