At the Animal Clinic, Scott, Liam, Mason, and Theo listen to a voicemail retrieved from the phone they found at the Primal Pack headquarters. A woman's voice says - "Hey. It's me again. I don't know why you can't seem to call me back. Maybe it's because you think you're punishing me, but this is too long. It's too much, and it's not about us. Something's happening in Beacon Hills, to the people here. I just ... I need to know everyone there with you is okay. Can you just please call me, please. One call, that's all I'm asking for. And, if you can't call me back, I'm going to get my answer anyway. That means I'm coming up there myself if I don't get a call from you. I'm coming up there so just try, try to remember it's my pack too."

"Oh no" Claudia gasped, knowing full well what had happened.

Liam says Malia pulled the phone of one of the bodies in the woods. Scott explains there were six dead and one of them had no face. Theo speculates that the one with no face may be the woman on the phone. Mason says the same thing happened to Aaron. The Anuk-Ite took over Aaron's body, stole his face and his DNA. They speculate that whoever the woman on the phone is, she might be the other half of the Anuk-Ite. Theo believes, and Mason agrees, that they should be looking for the half of the creature they know about. Scott sends them to look for Aaron while he and Liam try to figure out who the werewolf on the phone might be. They believe if they can stop the Anuk-Ite from combining, they can stop the war with the hunters.

"Don't be too sure" Monroe said heatedly. "It will. People are scared and by taking out the fear factor, the war won't happen" Scott said with a slight glare. "You do realize the fear factor is you" Monroe pointed out. Hearing no other come backs other than a "we are protecting them all" and "we are not their enemies" she leaned back in her seat. The memories she had gotten were not just the post Riders one, but rather everything from the beginning. She still did not think of the McCall pack in a positive way, but she was starting to see them differently from how future her saw because she was now a witness to what they had done and what had gone through.

Later, armed with a partially melted baseball bat, Mason leads Theo down to the tunnels. He says they should start there because Aaron hasn't been in class for days, and they were down in the tunnels the last time they saw the faceless lump. Jordan Parrish burned up the body, but no one's been back to check on it since because of the intense fear they feel whenever they get close to the spot. Mason says if they follow their fear, they're heading in the right direction. They come to a fork in the tunnel, one way is well lit while the other is "spooky." Theo picks the spooky way because he says Mason was right about following their fear.

"Well at least you two are working together on this" Stiles mumbled. "Better chance of survival" Lydia nodded.

Liam decides to call the last number that dialed the phone they found. Scott stops him, hanging it up before it connects. Liam says they should get the woman to meet them somewhere. Scott wants to have a plan before they make contact. The phone rings. They don't answer it. As soon as it stops, Liam dials back and a male voice says "Beacon Hills High School, how can I direct your ..." They hang up quickly.

"So it's a teacher?" Hayden perked up.

Liam has a thought. He plays the message again and realizes that the voice belongs to BHHS Biology teacher Mrs. Finch.
