Picking up where Heart Monitor left off, Scott and Stiles are hiding from the alpha inside the school. Scott yells at Stiles to find a way to lock the metal doors, and Stiles remembers the bolt cutters he dropped outside. Despite Scott's better judgment, Stiles goes back out to get them. As he's picking them up, the alpha comes around the back of the Jeep. Scott yells in warning, and Stiles runs back inside, jamming the bolt cutters into the door mechanism. The alpha is suddenly gone, and the boys back away.

They hear the alpha howl and take off into the school, looking for a better place to hide. They start to block a classroom door with a desk, but Stiles points out that a door isn't going to keep it away. Stiles then agrees with Derek's assessment that Deaton is the "murdering psycho werewolf," and accuses Deaton of just having killed Derek as well. Scott doesn't believe it. He asks Stiles what they should do, and Stiles suggests running to the Jeep. "And you seriously think about quitting your job. Good?" They try the windows, but the windows don't open because the school is climate controlled. Breaking one would attract the alpha's attention. Scott's only other plan is running really fast, until he notices that the hood of the Jeep is smashed in.

As they try to figure out what that means, the battery from the Jeep comes flying through the window.

Stiles thinks they need to run, but Scott insists on taking a look first. The coast is clear, so they creep back out into the hallway. Stiles suggests they find a room with fewer windows, and Scott suggests the boys locker room. He tells Stiles to call his dad, thinking that a parking lot full of cop cars will scare the alpha off. Stiles is concerned that if he does that the alpha will kill all the cops, including his dad. It took a wolfsbane bullet to slow Derek down, so he figures regular bullets won't do much to the alpha but piss it off. Running is still the only idea Scott has. Stiles points out that the school is about a mile from anything useful, so Scott suggests taking Derek's car. Stiles thinks that could work. They can take the keys off his body and go. Scott adds that they'll take Derek's body with them, although Stiles is nonplussed about the idea.

They're about to head back out when Scott pulls Stiles to a stop because he heard something. They decide to hide in lockers, even though Scott thinks that's stupid. A janitor nearly has a heart attack when he finds them in there, and he forces them both out. Just as he's throwing them out of the locker room, he's grabbed by the alpha. Scott tries to go back in to help him, but Stiles grabs him and forces him to run instead.

Meanwhile, Allison is waiting in the driveway for Scott. Jackson calls and tells her they're coming to get her, because Scott is 26 minutes late. They pull up and insist she get in the car. Allison then gets a message, which isn't an apology from Scott.

Stiles and Scott run for a set of doors at the end of the hallway. They try to bust through, but there's a Dumpster on the other side holding the doors closed. Stiles shoves at the door in desperation and announces that he's not dying at school, of all places. Scott makes him stop, although why he doesn't use his super strength to push open the door is anyone's guess. Stiles asks what the alpha wants, and Scott tells him that it wants a pack. "Oh, great, a psychotic werewolf who's into teamwork. That's beautiful," Stiles replies.

They stop and spot the alpha on the roof of the school through the hallway windows. It leaps down after them, and they run. They turn into the stairwell and fly down the steps to the first floor.

Jackson, Lydia, and Allison show up at the school, because the text Allison got was supposedly from Scott telling her to meet him there. The text is dated Feb 7 at 7:12pm. Although somehow it took them 2 hours to get to the school, because it's 9:26pm when they arrive. Allison notes that one of the doors is open, propped open by the bolt cutters. She heads for it, and Jackson offers to come with her. She turns him down, and he almost says "Be careful," much to her amusement. She likes him looking genuinely concerned. It's a little flirty, and Lydia just watches them, fuming.
