In Nazi Germany in 1943, Hauptman tries to convince a group of fellow officers to help him capture the Wild Hunt. He believes the supernatural riders are just what the "Ahnenerbe" is looking for because an army of the dead cannot be broken like an army of the living.

"His actual name is Hauptman" Stiles blinked. "Germans have weird name" Mason shook his head. "I think the Germans might think the same about the US" Liam said to Hayden who snorted.

His book claims the "Ghost Riders of the Storm" are "masters of infinite power." Hauptman says the dead riders are in the Ruhr Valley. Feldmarschall Schulz mocks his plan to capture the "unstoppable army" and Hauptman slashes his throat with his claws.

"Nazi 101: If anyone mocks you, just slash their throats" Parrish snorted.

Sheriff Stilinski is in Stiles' room holding his lacrosse jersey. As he touches the empty bookcases, a ball of red yarn and a box of thumbtacks appears. When he picks them up, a corkboard appears on the wall behind him. Inspired, Noah pins some string to the cork board and stretches the string across the nearby wall. When he turns back, pictures and newspaper clippings have appeared on the corkboard. He repeats the process, running string to the various walls, attaching it to the floor, and across the room. As he does this, all of Stiles' possessions become visible including his bed, his murder board, his desk, clothes, and artwork.

"So my dad's way of remembering me is by completing the murder board" Stiles deadpanned. "You two bond the best when working on a case" Claudia smiled at both her boys who looked quite sheepish.

Finally, once everything is once again where it belongs, Noah notices a photo on the corkboard. Its Stiles and Claudia in a hospital. He takes the photo down from the board.

Claudia smiled sadly and hugged her son as tightly as she could from her position. The boy has gone through so much because of her illness.

Lydia, Scott, Malia, and Peter Hale are at the Sheriff's station. Scott says he plans to bite Stiles in order to allow him to pass through the rift.

"Okay no biting. I don't think my odds of surviving a bite is as great as you might think" Stiles said to Scott who seemed put off a little at his words.

Peter is incredulous. He asks if Scott plans to bite everyone in the train station.

"A whole town of were wolves as a pack. Sounds lovely" Laura muttered. "Yeah lovely" Derek rolled his eyes.

Scott says they just need to get Stiles back and then they'll figure out how to rescue the rest. Peter says they're the only ones left in Beacon Hills and should run away. Scott says he'll go into the rift. Liam and Hayden will stay behind with Mason because as long as someone is left in Beacon Hills the Wild Hunt can't move on to another town. Peter picks holes in the plan. What if Scott doesn't get taken? What if Stiles isn't there. What if there's no Beacon Hills to come back to? Peter says Scott has a flair for beating the odds "but this you don't walk away from, you run." Peter leaves them there.

"I mean he isn't wrong. But we have to do something. For everyone who got taken" Corey mused.

Melissa McCall and Chris Argent follow Parrish's tracks back to the stone cottage where the pack captured the rider. Melissa examines the body and finds its pineal gland is gone. She wonders aloud why someone would take a Ghost Rider's pineal gland and Garrett Douglas answers her. "So I could use this." He flicks the rider's whip and knocks the gun from Argent's hand.
