Hope was running after Malia. Scott and Stiles were also running, trying to find Hope. They end up almost entering into each other.
"We found something." Stiles says
"So did I." Hope says
They lead her to a cave. It looks like Malia's home.
"It's a coyote den." Scott says
"Werecoyote." Hope says
"Do you see this? This is Malia's. Remember, it's the same one she was wearing in the photo." Stiles says
"We shouldn't be in here." Scott says
"What do you mean?"
"She's not going to come back now. We just invaded her home."
"Our scent is going to be everywhere." Hope says
"If she's not going to come back here, where's she going to go?" Stiles asks
"I don't know."
"Can you track her now?"
"Maybe. But we still need to close the doors. And if we can't find Derek, we need someone else's help."
Later, Stiles calls his dad to tell him about the situation.
"You sure it was her?" He asks
"I looked into her eyes. And they glowed just like mine." Hope says
"Makes sense, dad." Stiles says
"But it wasn't a girl. It was a four-legged coyote, right?" Noah asks
"Well, okay. But yeah, see, that's the point that we don't exactly have figured out yet."
"But, if it was a full moon and she did change while her mom was driving, then anything could've happened." Scott says
"Horrible things could've happened."
"Which is probably what cause the accident." Hope says
"Think about it, dad. All right. They're driving, Malia starts to change, she goes out of control, the mom crashes and everybody dies..."
"Except for Malia." Scott says
"That makes sense. In a Chinese folktale.This...this is insane." Noah says
Then some sirens are heard.
"Oh crap!" Noah says
Out of the vehicle, it was Scott's dad and Hope's dad.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Hope asks him
But he doesn't answer. He is looking at Malia's accessory and takes it.
"It's hers." He says
"All right, wait here." Raphael says
"Dad." Scott is trying to say
"I'll talk to you in a minute. I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with you running around in the woods this late."
...............
The next morning, Hope, Scott and Stiles were talking to Allison at school.
"Here's where we found the den. It's right in the middle of the hiking trails." Stiles says
"Well, that could narrow it down. Coyotes travel in fixed trails. But I think you're right about her not going back to the den. Coyotes don't like wolves. And they are really smart. If they don't want to be heard, they actually walk on their toes." Allison says
