Present

I'm walking in the creek through the nature preserve where Tara Raeken died, while Dr. Valack coaxes me to provide more details in his search for answers, explaining that he performed trephination on me to amplify my abilities and claiming that doing so may just save my friends.

After hearing this, I comply, and I jump when, in the vision, I'm having with my new extrasensory perception, Theo's dead sister Tara grabs my arm to show me that her chest was cracked open and her heart removed.

After checking Theo's medical chart, Valack soon discovers that the Dread Doctors took Theo's sister's heart, still in perfect condition due to the hypothermia she suffered from falling into the river, and used it to give Theo a heart transplant so he would be a genetic chimera, too, which was necessary to make him a pseudo-supernatural one.

Valack still has questions though. "But why him? Why choose a ten-year-old willing to kill his own sister?"

I ask the more pertinent question-- "Why do you care?"

Valack states that the Dread Doctors are attempting to create the perfect killer, and since Theo was the first step in the right direction and the reason why the Dread Doctors changed their methods, Valack wants to figure out how Theo fits into everything.

Just as that is happening Theo arrives at Eichen House with his so-called pack with the intention of kidnapping me.

Tracy and Josh take out the guards and enter the building. Theo tells the Schrader, the Eichen House orderly at the front desk, that they're there for Lydia Singer.

Flashback
Narrator POV

In the Hospital, Scott has just frantically pushed open the double doors at the entrance to the hospital's emergency room, holding them open for Parrish, who is holding Lydia's now-unconscious body in his arms and is clearly desperate to get her medical attention as soon as possible "Help! Get someone to help me! Quick! I need help. I've got an eighteen-year-old female, potentially hypothermic"

Parrish is met with a doctor and several orderlies, who immediately push over a pupillary that he can lay Lydia on it.

The medical professionals waste no time in taking Lydia's vitals, using a pen light to check her pupillary response and looking grimly at the results.

Meanwhile, Scott, knowing that Lydia's hint means that Sheriff Stilinski is in danger, heads straight for the elevator to head to the ICU, though he turns to give Parrish a guilty look as he waits for the doors to close.

Parrish meets his eyes and nods at him in encouragement as he mouths "Go," making Scott feel slightly less bad about leaving me.

⚜ The Lost Hunter ⚜

Downstairs, Bobby is sitting at Lydia's bedside, holding her hand and looking at her with tears in his eyes as he watches her stare blankly at the ceiling "Everything's going to be all right, Lydia. We're going to get you the best medical care. The best doctors, the best everything" Suddenly, a shocked Stiles appears in the doorway, and when Bobby notices him, his expression changes from devastation to pure fury as he jumps to his feet and rushes toward him to shoo him out of the room "No! No you don't. You're not coming in here. Get out, boy!"

Stiles overwhelmed by his worry for Sheriff Stilinski and Lydia in addition to his confusion about why Bobby is acting this way struggles to make his way past him so he can confirm his theory.

Klaus enters the room stopping Bobby "Leave the boy, Bobby"

Stiles says "Just wait! Wait! I think I know who did this, okay? I just need to look at the back of her neck--"
