The next day Cal walks downstairs and sits next to Louise. "Are you sure you'll be okay?" he asks her. "I'll be fine Lew. Go save Scott and Kira." Louise chuckles kissing his cheek. Cal smiles at the use of the nickname "Okay. We'll see you when we get back." Cal grins before standing up and going to the car. He smiles at Ethan and Jackson as he climbs in the back with them. "Let's go save our friends." he says as Isaac starts driving.

They pull into a warehouse where Peter, Cora, Stiles, Derek, Malia, Liam and Braeden have gathered. Ethan, Jackson, Cal, Aiden and Isaac climb out their car. "How did you get a prison transport van?" Stiles asks Braeden. "I'm a U.S. Marshal." Braeden reminds them. "Yeah, I just thought that was just a cover." Stiles says. "Are we really bringing him?" Derek asks motioning to Liam. "Are we really bringing him?" Stiles counters looking at Peter. "We're bringing everyone that we can." Cal says glaring at them both.

"And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going." Peter says. "What's that mean?" Stiles asks. "If Kate took Scott back to the same temple that she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?" Peter asks. "What, she wants to make him younger?" Isaac asks. "Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Cal adds. "A werewolf can't steal a true Alpha's power. But maybe a Nagual jaguar, with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her... Maybe she can. So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going." Peter tells them. "We can't. Not without Lydia." Aiden retorts.

Cal sits in the bonnet of their car as Aiden tries calling Lydia's phone. "What's she doing at the school anyway?" Derek asks. "We got Kira's sword, but we need something with a stronger scent. Lydia went to get a jacket out of her locker." Malia tells her cousin. "Nothing." Aiden says putting his phone in his pocket. "If she has a car, she can catch up to us." Braeden tells them. "That's a good point. We'll call her from the road." Peter nods.

"No. What if something happened? What if she's in trouble?" Aiden asks. "Fine. You stay, you find her. We're gonna go on without you." Peter tells him. "I could call Mason. He has a study group at school. Maybe he could look for her." Liam suggests. Aiden sighs "All right. Fine." he nods. Cal jumps off the bonnet and goes over to Isaac. "Are you okay?" he asks his friend. "Yeah. I was just thinking about Lou. I don't like leaving her here alone." Isaac responds. "I get it. I don't like it either. It's why I've got Melissa to go see her without saying it was me." Cal responds smirking. Isaac laughs and high fives him before they go to get in the car.

Peter turns to everyone "Remember what we're dealing with. It's not just Kate, it's Berserkers. You might see human eyes behind those skulls. Do not assume that there's any humanity left." he tells them before looking at Liam. "Oh. This little one is terrified of them, aren't you? Don't worry, my friend. It is that fear that will keep you alive. A reminder to everyone. You do not fight Berserkers to survive, you fight to kill." Peter adds before getting in his car. Cal rolls his eyes and climbs in the back of the car.
