I was with Allison as we were talking to Scott and Stiles over the phone.
"If Jackson doesn't know what he's doing, then he probably doesn't know that someone's controlling him." Allison says.
"Or he doesn't remember." Scott says.
"What if its the same kind of thing that happened with Lydia when she took off from the hospital?" Stiles asks.
I nod. "A fugue state."
"He's had to forget everything. The murder-" Scott says.
"Getting rid of the blood." Allison says.
"Yeah, he had help with one thing, though." Stiles says to us. "The video."
"Maybe someone else helped him forget that." I say to them.
"Whoever's controlling him." Scott says. I nod.
"Are you sure Jackson has no clue about any of this?" Allison asks us.
I sigh. "He thinks he's still becoming a Werewolf and that being with Lydia somehow delayed the whole thing." I tell them.
"So do we try and convince him he's not?" Allison asks.
"If it helps us find out who's controlling him, then yeah." Scott replies.
"Yeah, its us. He'll talk to us. Right?" Stiles asks, mainly asking Scott.
Allison and I share a look.

The next morning I was in the library with Allison, Stiles and Scott.
Allison hands Scott a tablet through the bookcase. "It's everything Lydia can translate." Allison says. "And trust me, she was very confused."
"What'd you tell her?" Stiles asks.
"That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." I answer.
"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Stiles says.
I smile. "I know, that's where I got the lie from."
"Does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Scott asks us.
I sigh as Allison answers. "Not really." She tells them. "But Stiles was right about the murderers."
"Yes!" Stiles cheers.
"I'm not a murderer!" I exclaim. "Why was he after me?"
No one answers as Allison says. "It's called the Kanima, a weapon of vengeance."
"There's a story in there about this South American priest who uses the Kanima to execute murderers in the village-" I say to them, to get cut off by Stiles.
"All right, see?" Stiles asks us. "So maybe not all that bad."
I continue saying what I was before he cut me off. "Until the bond grew strong enough that it killed whoever he wanted it to." I finish as Allison grabs a book from the shelf, pretending to read.
"All bad, all very, very bad." Stiles says and I nod.
"Here's the thing, though." Allison says. "The Kanima's actually supposed to be a werewolf. But it cant be-"
I nod to the teacher who was behind Allison, causing her to stop talking.
Scott reads from the tablet. "'Until it resolves that in its past which manifested it'."
"Okay, if that means that Jackson could use a few thousand hours of therapy, I could've told you that myself." Stiles tells us.
"What if... it has something to do with his parents? His real parents?" Allison asks us.
