"You decided when" Derek asked Erica and Boyd at the old Hale house. "Tonight" Erica said.

"Everyone's gonna be at the game we figured it was the best time" Boyd said. "It's not like we want to" Erica said. "What do you want" Derek asked.

"Since I just turned 16 a month ago, I wouldn't mind getting my license I can't do that if I'm dead you know" Erica said.

"Well, I told you there was a price" Derek said. "Yeah, but you didn't say it would be like this" Boyd said. "Yeah, but I told you how to survive you do it as a pack and you're not a pack without an alpha" Derek said.

"We know" Boyd said. "You wanna look for another pack, how are you even gonna find one" Derek asked. "We think we already did" Boyd said.

"Like all of a sudden we heard all this howling it was unbelievable" Erica said. "There must have been a dozen of them" Boyd said. "Maybe more" Erica said.

"Yeah, or maybe only two" Derek said. "You know what the Beau Gaste effect is" Derek asked.

"If they modulate their howls with a rapid shift in tone 2 wolves can sound like 20" Derek said. "Look that doesn't matter okay there's another pack out there there's got to be we made up our minds" Erica said.

"Yeah, we lost Derek and it's over we're leaving" Boyd said. "No, no you're running and once you start you don't stop, you'll always be running" Derek said.

"What about Lyla" Derek asked. "I asked but she refused I should have known she would never leave especially not without you" Erica said and then she and Boyd left while Derek turned around.

He saw Peter in a glass, and he turned around throwing it at him, but he caught it. "I expected a slightly warmer welcome, but point taken" Peter said.

"It's quite a situation you've got yourself in here Derek I mean I'm out of commission for a few weeks and suddenly there's lizard people geriatric psychopaths and you're cooking up werewolves out of every self-esteem deprived adolescent in town" Peter said.

"What do you want" Derek asked him. "Well, I want to help you're my nephew the only relative that I have left you know there's still a lot that I can teach you" Peter said.

"Can we just talk" Peter asked. "Sure, let's talk" Derek said before throwing him across the room.

"You don't actually think I want to be the alpha again do you" Peter asked still on the ground.

"That wasn't my finest performance considering it ended in my death" Peter said and Derek was about to hit him.

"I mean I'm usually more okay go ahead come on do it hit me, hit me" Peter said, and Derek stopped.

"I can see it's cathartic for you you're letting go of all the anger self-loathing and hatred that comes with total and complete failure I may be the one taking the beating Derek, but you've already been beaten so go ahead hit me if it will make you feel better after all I did say that I wanted to help" Peter said.

"You can't help me" Derek said losing his grip on him leaving.

Lydia and Lyla went to the game together after hearing Erica and Boyd left and she apologized to her countless times for not telling her about the supernatural.

She accepted the apology and they managed to get to the game sitting next to Melissa and Noah. Soon the game started as they all watched.
