Scott is sitting on the hood of the Jeep at Lookout Point, gazing at the sky. Stiles has a map of the greater San Francisco region spread out on the hood of the Jeep next to Scott and is marking potential places to live for when they go to college.
All right, so I found some cool two-bedrooms in the Mission District, but they're pretty expensive. A couple in Haight and Ashbury, are also expensive... Stiles begins
What about Berkeley? Don't a lot of students live around there? Scott suggests
Yeah, yeah, we could try Knob Hill. But, the Jeep would probably burn through a lot of clutches. Stiles says
You're bringing the Jeep? Scott asks
You know the plan, okay? No one gets left behind. That's the plan. Lydia's not gonna have a problem getting into Stanford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh, gonna, you know, she'll figure something out, okay. The plan's perfect. Stiles says
Or we could also wait until we actually get into college and then figure out where to live. Scott suggests
I have a vision, dude. Okay? And it is a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision. Okay, we can check out the East Bay. Haven't looked at Oakland yet, you know. You're all right? You're starting to feel it? Stiles says looking at Scott
No. Just thinking. Scott says
About what? Stiles inquires
Senior year. Scott admits
Senior year, come on, that's, that's... That's nothing. That's going to be easy. Stiles says stuttering a bit
It's more like something Deaton told me once. Have you ever heard of "regression to the mean?" Scott asks
No, I don't think so. Stiles says
It was his way of saying that life can't ever be all bad or all good. You know, eventually, things have to come back to the middle. So, think about the last few months. Things have been good, right? But not amazing. Scott explains
Yeah, but no one's tried to kill us in six months either.
Right. We've been pretty much in the middle for a while... This means, at some point, the scale has to tip one way or the other. Things are gonna get good again... Scott says
Or really bad. Stiles says as lightning arcs through the sky.
Yes! Liam says groaning as he is chained to a tree.
Hey. Trying to have an adult conversation over here. Stiles yells pointing at him. Liam just rolls his eyes.
All right, you're two years older than me, and I'm fine. Just let me go or I'll tell you to Aurora. Liam threatens.
It's not that we don't trust you-- Scott begins
It's that I don't trust you. And I'm not scared of Aurora. Stiles says
But after that last full moon. Scott continues
It was one slip-up, and yes you are. Liam says
A slip-up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's Department about a monstrous dog boy running around the streets of Beacon Hills??? Naked??? Stiles says exasperatedly not saying anything else on him being scared of Aurora.
Why were you naked? Scott ask
It was really hot out that night Ok, I already got lectured by Aurora when Brett told her about it. Let me go! Liam says
