Gerard and Chris Argent search a network of tunnels while discussing the Beast of Gevaudan. Gerard finds black soot on the tunnel wall and says it's like a fingerprint. He explains that there were a lot of descriptions of the beast. Witnesses described everything from a red-furred giant wolf to a cloven-hoofed panther the size of a horse. Gerard's grandfather told him the body was oil-black, solid but shapeless at the same time. It was like a shadow pretending to be real.
"He knows quite a lot dad and maybe that's why you brought him back but I still don't trust him at all" Allison whispered to her father. Chris nods, "I know, but sometimes you need to take a risk to ensure the safety of the mass" Chris whispered back. Allison nods but didn't look too convinced.
Hearing this, Chris holsters his pistol and takes out a much larger weapon.
"Yeah I don't think that would work out any better" Stiles added.
Gerard says, as far as legend goes, the only weapon proved effective against the beast was a simple spear wielded by a young woman. Chris realizes this is The Maid of Gevaudan.
"I thought it was our ancestor who did the beast in" Allison asked, remembering the research she had seen herself do a long while back. "It was. The story I think will be told very soon so let's wait for that" Chris said with a small smile.
The men split up. Chris hears a scurrying, scuttling sound rustling somewhere in the tunnel. Gerard meets the Dread Doctors in a different tunnel. He whips out one of the Hunters ultrasonic emitters and embeds it into the wall. The doctors seem unable to advance. Gerard says he knows their frequency. He wonders aloud what their reason for being in the tunnels might be. He walks away leaving the Dread Doctors motionless.
"How..does he know that?" Lydia blinked in surprise. "Something tells me Gerard ran his own investigation in his little care home" Chris narrowed his eyes.
Chris follows the scurrying sound to its source, a grate in the floor of the tunnel. He drops a flare into the grate and the thousands of insects, the source of the noise, scatter from the flame revealing a pile of dead bodies.
"Oh that's just plain disgusting" Mason gagged. "Other way!" Liam turned him around, making him face Corey who jumped out of his chair.
Deputy Jordan Parrish watches as 23 bodies are wheeled into Beacon Hills Hospital morgue. The Sheriff, walking with a cane, tries to reassure Parrish that his dream is not coming true and tells him to get back to the station and go through recent missing person's reports. Scott, Stiles and Kira exit the elevator. The Sheriff explains that Chris Argent found the bodies and says the Dread Doctors were there too. He also apparently thinks the boys might now what is doing the killing. The Medical Examiner has reported that the people were killed somewhere else and dumped in the tunnels. Scott speculates that the Doctors are hiding the bodies. Stiles says they may be protecting the Beast like parents would a child. Scott explains that it's a werewolf. Kira adds that it is called the Beast. The Sheriff says they need to figure out what they're going to call Parrish because it appears his dream is coming true.
