Things kicked into gear as Scott tells a story about his asthma being back and pretending that nothing's happen. He says it feels like everyone in his school senses that there is something coming, something bad. He reaches for his inhaler when he thinks about doing something about it. The pack is not talking or acknowledging each other. Parrish doesn't seem to remember taking the bodies and Lydia and Stiles are looking for the dead bodies and the Nemeton which doesn't seem to be where they last found it.

The Dread Doctors are operating on another chimera when Theo tells them he needs more time. They tell him that Hayden is a failure but Theo says he needs Hayden alive. The Dread Doctors seem to be going back on their promise to Theo.

He says they promised him a pack and when he raises his voice the Dread Doctors just turn as if whatever they say goes and walks away from him.

Sheriff and Parrish are looking for clues with a UV light and they find traces of mercury.

Liam and Hayden have a budding romance and it's pretty innocent considering the circumstances. He's keeping a close eye on her to make sure she's okay and lets her know by reassuring her with a kiss. Just then, Hayden begins bleeding mercury and begs Liam not to tell anyone.

Stiles and Lydia think it's almost like the Nemeton doesn't want to be found. Stiles says if the Nemeton is covered in bodies, she is supposed to be able to find them.

He comes across a small spot on the floor and remembers what the deputy told him about the two library keycards as well as what he told Stiles when looking for Donovan.

Scott is sacred and Theo is trying to snap him out of it. Liam meets Hayden and tells her that they have to get out of there out of fear that the Dread Doctors could be coming after her.

Theo is driving Scott to the hospital and Scott asks him what he was trying to tell him in class. Scott insists that everyone needs to start talking again and finally gets Theo to open up. Theo tells him to open the glove compartment and finds a wrench that belonged to Stiles. Theo said Stiles dropped it at the school when he killed Donovan and Scott is dumbfounded.

Theo says Donovan went after Stiles and when he saw what Stiles was doing he couldn't stop it. He lies about the details saying that Stiles kept hitting Donovan and crushed his skull.

Malia can't seem to concentrate in class. Lydia's mom asks a girl named Beth to close her laptop and when she does, she bites her nails and they come right off. There is also some residue on her mouth. Malia is stopped before she goes after Beth and Lydia's mom tells her she thinks they all need to concentrate on school. Malia bypasses her words and leaves.

Scott can't even keep up with this dreadful enemy but Theo comes in and tries his luck. Liam calls out for Hayden who is captures and injected with a substance. She doesn't die and both she and Liam are confused.

Theo tells the Dread Doctor he needs more time during their fight and they finally back off. When it's all over, Scott asks where Hayden is. She is with Liam and she says she thinks she's okay.

Liam tells Scott what happened and they think something may be going on internally. He instructs them to meet him at the clinic and Theo tells Liam to keep her awake.

During the drive Liam comes up with an idea to turn Hayden into a werewolf but Scott is the only one with the power to do so.

Back at the station the Sheriff asks Lydia what Parrish thinks he's doing by locking himself up in the cell and Lydia says protecting them all. Parrish tells the Sheriff that he's the one taking the body and he doesn't know why and doesn't remember doing it but he can't be let out.

Parrish says that he's dangerous and the Sheriff actually listens to her. Stiles meets Scott at the clinic and tells him that he was having trouble with the jeep.

Scott doesn't say anything, instead, he holds up the wrench that Theo used to incriminate him with. Scott asks Stiles why he didn't tell him and Stiles says he was going to. Stiles said he couldn't and Scott says "you killed Donovan?" Stiles says that Donovan was going to kill his dad and that everyone can't be like Scott. Stiles says not everyone can be flawless. Stiles says he's human and he didn't have a choice.

Stiles asks him if he believes him and Scott says he wants to. Stiles begs him to say he believes him but Scott bypasses it by saying they can't kill people they are trying to save. Stiles asks him one more time to say he believes it and Scott just says the same thing.

Stiles begs him to tell him how he can fix it, Scott tells him not to worry about Malia or Lydia they'll find them and that maybe Stiles should talk to the Sheriff.

He leaves his best friend out in the rain to tend to Hayden.

Liam says Hayden is getting worse and begs Scott to turn Hayden so that she can heal. Scott says no.
