02.

At the abandoned subway terminal, Isaac frantically walks down the staircase.

"Derek! Dahlia!?" He calls.

The two look up, Dahlia with more worry.

"What's wrong?" She frowns.

Isaac breathes heavily. "M..My dad, I think he's dead." He says. Dahlia stands and wraps him in a hug, her motherly instincts taking over. "Aw, kid."

Derek steps out of the shadows with glowing red eyes. "What did you do?" He asks. "Derek!"

He glances at his aunt before focusing back on the quivering teenager. "That's the thing." Isaac breathes. "It wasn't me."

At the high school, Danny walks Sage over to the bleachers. "Hey, you okay?" He asks. "Hm?"

"You haven't said a word since yesterday." Danny says. Sage shrugs. "I'm fine." He lies.

Danny gives him a look. "Bullshit."

Sage rolls his eyes. "I'm fine, Dan."

Just then, Bobby blows the whistle around his neck.

"Line it up! Let's go!" He says.

Danny sighs. "This isn't over." He mutters before running off. Sage smirks and shakes his head.

As lacrosse practice went on, Sage and Danny grimace as Scott continues to tackle people.

Soon, it was Danny's turn. "Hurt him and I'll break you." Sage whispers, Scott turns his head and looks at him in fear. "Noted." He smiles.

Bobby tosses Danny the ball and blows his whistle again. "Let's fire it up." He mutters. Danny runs forward and Scott rushes toward him. They spin in the air from the impact and Scott lands on top of him.

Danny looks at Scott in confusion once he started sniffing around. "It's armani." He says. "Huh?"

"My aftershave. Armani." He smirks.

"Oh..it's nice." Scott smiles.

"McCall!" Bobby sneers. "You come out of that goal one more time and you'll be doing suicide runs till you die." He threatens. "It'll be the first ever suicide run that actually ends in a suicide, got it?"

"Yes, coach." Scott breathes.

Danny gets up and looks over at Sage. The shorter boy was laughing hard into his jacket sleeve.

"Uh, coach? My shoulder's hurting. I'm gonna—I'm gonna sit this one out." Jackson mumbles.

When Jackson walks away, Isaac steps up, breathing hard. He glances at Sage to see the boy giving him and encouraging thumbs up with an awkward smile.

He calms down a little and locks eyes with Scott, forcing him to meet his glare. The two rush forward and collide, causing them both to fall on all fours.

A few seconds later, Noah and two deputies walk onto the field. Scott looks at Isaac in confusion.

"Don't tell them." He says before glancing at Sage.

"Please don't tell them."

In Harris's class, Scott and Stiles try their best to whisper directly to each other.

"Why would Derek choose Isaac?"

"How do you know it was him? It could've been Dahlia."

"She's a coyote."

"Peter told me that if the bite doesn't turn you, it could kill you and maybe teenagers have better chances of surviving."

"Does being a teenager mean your dad can't hold him?"
