*Before the Battle*
Scott found an arrow at school and brings it to Allison's apartment to confront her. At first she denies her involvement claiming it might have come from the archery team. Scott then points out that Beacon Hills High doesn't have an archery team and if they did they wouldn't use "military grade, armor piercing, titanium arrowheads."
Scott warns Allison to stay away from the Alpha Pack because of their superhuman strength. They then flirt over the idea of who would win in fight between her and Scott. They spar. Scott easily blocks her attacks and they end up very close to kissing.
He leaves with a warning that the Alpha twins were just playing with them at the school. He says he is afraid and that she should be afraid of what the Alpha Pack might do.
In the elevator of Allison's building Deucalion is waiting for Scott. The young werewolf extends his claws. The Alpha Pack leader seems amused saying he would have to be "blind, deaf and quadriplegic" for Scott to have a chance of taking him down. He then teases Scott saying he should take chance, kill an Alpha and become an Alpha but Scott isn't interested. Scott says he's not like Deucalion, that he doesn't have to kill people. The older man says that might change that a circumstance may arise where the only way to save one person is to kill another. Scott thinks the leader is there to spark a confrontation with him but Deucalion says he lives in the building. He points out that the neighbors are surprisingly friendly. When Scott asks what he's after - he responds "I want to see what you're made of."
In Derek's Loft, Scott reports the Alpha Pack is living in Allison's building, Derek's pack already knows because Cora and Boyd followed the twins there. Scott suggests that the Alphas want them to know where they are. Peter suggests they don't care if Derek knows.
Derek says they plan to attack tomorrow and that Scott is going with them. The Alphas live in the penthouse right above the Argent's apartment. Derek plans a preemptive strike to kill the Alphas first. Scott wants to know why killing is always the go to plan for werewolves. Peter agrees with him but mocks Scott for being "blandly moral."
Cora disagrees with Scott and wants to know why they need "this kid." Derek points out that Scott helped save her life and tries to convince Scott that they can't just sit back and wait for them to make the first move. Haliegh and Boyd keep quiet.
Scott says they can't defeat the whole Alpha Pack. Cora says they're not going after the whole pack, just Deucalion. Boyd describes him as "the head of the snake" believing that if they kill him the rest will fold.
Peter says it's not a snake but a Hydra - a mythical creature the demigod Hercules fought. Scott rightly points out that when Hercules cut off one of the creatures seven heads, two more grew back in its place. Peter congratulates him for doing his "summer reading."
Scott visits Dr. Deaton saying he doesn't know what to do about the situation. He doesn't know how to save someone who doesn't want to be saved. He doesn't know how to stop them. Deaton says Scott shouldn't try to stop them, he should lead them.
Haliegh goes to Lydia's house to stay because she knows something bad might happen.
Allison tries to convince her father that someone needs to help Scott and Derek. Chris says it's not up to them. He is getting his consulting business going again and she is going to graduate. He says that's a normal life and that's what they agreed to.
Allison persists saying that a Pack of Alphas is trying to kill her friends and asking how she can stay out of that. Chris says situations that need careful navigation are called "threading the needle" - finding a safe path through two opposing forces. Allison says that sounds like "saving your own ass."
Chris points out that Scott and Derek are not her family. Allison retorts that since she's lost so much family that she could use a few friends.
Scott decides to meet with Deucalion himself. He is leaving his house for the meet but is stopped by Isaac. He lies and says he's going for food but Isaac insists on going too.
They arrive at an abandoned mall where Deucalion is perched on a broken down escalator. Scott was supposed to come alone, thinking that he means Isaac, Scott apologizes but then Derek walks out of the shadows. Scott tries to talk Derek down saying that no one needs to get killed but Deucalion also broke the rules and all the members of the Alpha Pack reveal themselves.
Kali comes sliding down a concrete column, leaving claw marks from her feet all the way down. Ennis comes up another escalator from the floor below and the Alpha Twins are standing on a ledge one floor above.
Boyd and Cora step forward.
