Cal was in a tattoo parlor with Scott and Stiles after being dragged there "Boy, good thing you drew me a picture." the tattoo artist tells Scott sarcastically as he looks at the drawing of two bands Scott gave him. "Hey Scott! Sure you don't want something like this? Too soon? Kay." Stiles asks Scott holding up a drawing of a lizard man. Cal looks at him confused "I'll explain later. I don't know, man, you sure about this? These things are pretty permanent, you know?" Stiles says. "I'm not changing my mind." Scott tells his friend. "Okay. But why two bands?" Stiles asks. "I just like it." Scott tells him. "But don't you think your first tattoo should have some sort of meaning you know or something?" Stiles questions. "Getting a tattoo means something." Scott tells him. "I don't think that's -" Stiles starts. "He's right. Tattooing goes back thousands of years.  The Tahitian word tatau means leave a mark. Like a rite of passage." the tattooist tells Stiles making Scott and Cal smirk. "Yeah, ya see? He gets it." Scott says. "I do aswell." Cal says piping up. "He's covered in tattoos, Scott. Literally. Cal you're 14 so... Shush." Stiles pouts. "Kay, you ready?  You, uhm, ain't got any problems with needles do ya?" the guy says. "Nope." Scott responds. "I tend to get a little squeamish though so..." Stiles faints falling onto Cal. "I'm gonna kill him." Cal says pushing Stiles off and standing back up.

They all get in the jeep, Scott and Stiles in the front and Cal in the back "You okay?" Stiles asks Scott while holding an ice pack to his head. "Kinda burns." Scott responds. "Yes. You just had your skin stabbed about a hundred thousand times by a- a needle." Stiles points out. "Yeah, but I don't think it's supposed to feel like this." Scott says before he starts crying out in pain "Oh god no! It's definitely not supposed to feel like this." he tells the brothers. "Uh oh. Hey-" Stiles starts. "I gotta take it off." Scott says. "Nonono no Scott please... stop!" Stiles begs as Scott removes the tattoo wrap, ignoring Stiles' protesting, to see it fading. "Woah." Stiles says. "Oh no. What? Nono come on..." Scott says as the tattoo disappears. "It healed." he complains. "Ah... Thank god. I hated it." Stiles says making Cal hit his head and Scott look at him. "Sorry." Stiles apologises before he starts driving.

Cal sits in the back of the jeep on his phone as Scott and Stiles start talking about Alison "No, we - we agreed to give each other the summer. No texts, no calls..." Scott tells Stiles. "So then how do you know she won't be back at school then?" Stiles asks. "After everything that happened, I'm not sure that she's coming back at all." Scott says. Stiles sees Lydia's car pull along side the the jeep, inside Alison is sat talking with Lydia "I think she is. I'd say pretty definite. You know. Like, one hundred percent." Stiles tells him making Scott turn around and Cal look confused. "OH my God oh- Can we just drive? Please? Stiles-" Scott says frantically. "Scott, it's a red light - I think we should talk to her. I think we should say something." Stiles starts reaching over. "No." Scott tells him. "I'm gonna say something. Say hi-" Stiles continues. "No No Stiles No Come on. Oh my god. Dude." Scott complains. "Hi! Hey..." stiles says as he rolls down the window. Lydia's car shoots off "You know. They probably didn't see us." Stiles says. "You're an idiot." Cal says making Stiles turn and glare before driving off.

As they drive Scott realises that they are going the same direction as the girls "What are you doing?" he asks Stiles. "Driving." Stiles responds as if Scott just asked a stupid question. "We're right behind them!" Scott panics. "Okay. Well, do you see any turns?" Stiles asks. "I don't want it to look like we're following them." Scott tells him. "Well what do you want me to do?" Stiles asks him, Cal chuckles at them both before messaging Isaac 'My brother and Scott are both idiots'. "I dunno! Anything!" Scott exclaims. Stiles stops the car, by slamming on the breaks, making Cal sigh as he stops himself flying forwards "Point still stands." he comments. Suddenly they hear a crash followed by screaming from the girls. They jump out and run to them, Cal heads to Lydia with Stiles "Are you okay?" Scott asks Alison. "It came out of nowhere!" Lydia exclaims as Cal hugs her. "Are you hurt?" Stiles asks her. "It ran right into us." she tells them. "Are you okay?" Scott asks Alison again. "I'm okay." she tells him. "Well I'm not okay! I am totally freaking out! How the hell did that thing just run into us? I saw it's eyes right before it hit us.  It was like it was... it was like it was crazy." Lydia says. Cal hugs her again "You're alright Lyds." he gently tells her as she hugs back. "No it was scared. Actually. Terrified." Scott says as he touches the stag, feeling it's emotions.
