It's storming badly outside. Thunder, rain, lightening, heavy wind. Amy knows that it's not her family because usually they commit are with her and tell her. Amy is in Cora's room with Peter as he wipes away the sweat beading on Cora's forehead.
"Hey!" He calls to the passerbyers as they run part the room. "Can someone tell me when they're getting my niece out of here?!"
"Sorry, but she wasn't, uh..." Melissa pauses when she comes in and sees Peter.
Peter stands straightens when he sees Melissa, remembering what happened before he died and came back. He tries to hide in a darkened part the room but fails.
"You're supposed to be dead," Melissa says nervously. She does remember him from school.
"I get that a lot, actually," Peter admits.
The monitor suddenly starts beeping rapidly and Cora wakes up gasping. She suddenly turns and she throws up black blood. Amy grabs Cora's hair and pulls it back. Peter looks down and sees bot black blood and mistletoe on the floor. Melissa looks terrified.

"Derek! Amy!" Jennifer calls as she enters the loft. "Derek!? Amy?! Where are you?"
"I'm right here," Derek says from near his leather couch.
"Oh, thank God," Jennifer says as she hurries across the floor. She gives him a hug and pulls away. "Something happened at the recital. At the school. Okay, I need to tell you before you before you hear it,before you hear it from any of them."
"From who?" Derek asks.
"Scott, Stiles," Jennifer says. "They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me."
"What is it?" The Hale alpha asks.
"Promise you'll listen to me," Jennifer pleads.
"I promise," Derek says.
Jennifer sees that look in his eyes and she deflates physically. "They're already here, aren't they?"
Derek cuts his eyes to the side as Scott and Stiles come into view.
"So... they told you it was me?" Jennifer asks. "That I'm the one taking people?"
"We told him you're the one killing people," Scott says. "Told Amy, too, but she's a little busy to be here."
"Oh, that's right." Jennifer chuckles. "Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour that way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense."
"Where's my dad?" Stiles asks, tears gliding down his face.
"How should I know?" Jennifer asks and she turns to Derek. "Derek, tell me you don't believe this."
Derek moves his eyes to look at Scott and Stiles. His stomach twists when he sees the desperation in Stiles' eyes and the tears on his face. He knows that's not a look of a liar. Stiles is genuinely worried about his father. Derek has a different aspect on everyone after meeting Aphrodite and Aion.
"Do you know what happened to Stiles' father?" Derek asks as he looks back at his 'friend'.
"No," Jennifer replies and shakes her head in denial.
"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia," Scott says.
"Lydia Martin?" Jennifer turns to the teenagers. "I don't know anything about that."
"What do you know?" Derek asks her and Jennifer turns back to him.
"I know that these boys, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head and have filled Amy's head with an absurd story," Jennifer replies and turns back to the boys. "And one they candy prove, by the way."
