Stiles has just brought Mason's medical chart, which he obtained from Melissa McCall, to Deaton in hopes that he can share some insight. "Vanishing twin syndrome?"

"This is part of your expertise, right?" Stiles questions.

"Not particularly, no." Stiles frowns in disappointment as Deaton studies the chart.

Just then, a loud noise is heard as Atlas, Liam and Scott appear in the doorway, holding up The Surgeon, who is gravely injured. "He's still alive!"

Tracy has just brought the seriously-injured Theo back to the operating theater following his defeat against the Dread Doctors. She gently sets him down on the ground and looks concerned when he groans in pain. "This looks bad, Theo."

"I'll be fine." Suddenly, Theo smiles softly and caresses her face with his hand, and they stare at each other for a long moment before they start to make out.

Theo pulls her closer to him, so she's straddling his hips, but it's not long before the pain gets to him and he groans. Tracy looks worried as she pulls away. "Maybe we need to stop."

Theo sighs, visibly upset by how poorly his plans have worked. "Or figure out another plan. Just take a couple more days to think about it."

Theo looks at her incredulously and scoffs. "Days? You want me to wait days?"

"You're hurt. You need time to heal." Tracy starts to look self-conscious. "And I'm not like the others. I can't take your pain."

"I know. And that's okay because you can do something else for me." Theo leans forward and pulls her closer to him as though he's about to kiss her again, but instead, he jams his claws into her back. "You can give me your power."

Tracy's eyes widen, and she groans in pain when she realizes that he's about to kill her like he killed Josh. She struggles against his hold, eventually extending her claws and fangs in hopes of fighting back. "Theo!"

Tracy claws him back, but looks horrified when she realizes her Kanima venom no longer works on him. "Theo, stop!"

She slowly becomes weaker and weaker, until her grunting, snarling, and struggling stops completely. Once she's dead, Theo gasps for breath and momentarily becomes so overwhelmed by the power rush that both he and Tracy's body fall sideways.

Just then, Deucalion enters the room with his cane and gives Theo an exasperated look. "And then there were none."

The Surgeon is lying on the exam table while Stiles, Deaton, Scott, Atlas, and Liam surround him, looking concerned. "Can you keep him alive?"

"I'm not sure he technically is alive" Deaton shrugs.

"Screw keeping him alive" Atlas scoffs, rolling his eyes. "How do we get him to talk?"

"Personally, I don't think we utilize torture nearly enough" Stiles states.

Deaton gives Stiles a look, just as a loud whispering is heard. "Come."

Liam frowns and looks at the others. "Did you hear that?"

Scott frowns and focuses his hearing as the voice calls out again. "Come to me. To me."

Suddenly, The Surgeon bolts upright and causes an ear-splittingly loud noise to ring loudly throughout the room, which forces Deaton, Scott, Atlas, Liam, and Stiles to cover their ears with their hands.
