Monstrous

**Monstrous** is the tenth episode of Season 4 and the fifty-eighth episode of the *Teen Wolf*.

## Synopsis

Scott and Kira protect the remnants of Satomi's Pack while Malia and Stiles team up to uncover the origins of the Deadpool.

## Recap

Kira saves Brett Talbot and his sister, Lorilee from a team of Hunters who are after them to collect their bounties from the Deadpool. Scott, after having a conversation with Liam about the fact that not all of the McCall Pack's members and allies have survived Beacon Hills' supernatural events, rushes to the animal clinic, where he reunites with Kira and meets Satomi Ito and what remains of her pack. Stiles and Malia reconcile and discovers that the tape left by Lydia's grandmother was made at the lake house. Meanwhile, Lydia tries to get Meredith to talk about her role in the Deadpool, but Meredith says that she will only talk to Peter Hale.

After realizing that Meredith knew him while he was comatose, Peter uses the Werewolf memory manipulation ritual to view her memories. Lydia discovers that, during Meredith's stay in the hospital in 2009, Meredith was placed in the same room as Peter. She involuntarily listened to Peter's thoughts; since Peter was trapped in his mind while his body was comatose, he had nothing to do but rant in his head about how his sister Talia ignored his warnings and allowed the Argent Hunters to decimate their family.

It was because of this ranting that Peter plotted to create a Deadpool of all the supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills, using his $117 million in bearer bonds from his inheritance to fund it, in the belief that it would allow him to "raze the earth" and allow him to recreate the supernatural community in his image. He went on to say that he wanted to start with professional assassins before then disseminating it further to Hunters and any amateur, as he believed that for the right price, anyone could be corrupted by money. Meredith then planned to enact the Deadpool just as Peter wanted, and when Meredith heard Lydia's scream at the moment when Allison was killed by the Oni, she decided to carry out Peter's plan; she used Brunski to steal Peter's money from the Hale Vault, and used her powers to create a list of all of the supernatural creatures in town, even putting herself on the list for $1 million.

Meanwhile, the Hunters track down Satomi's pack to the abandoned Argent Arms International, where Braeden, Chris, Derek, Kira and Scott fight them off. During the fight, Scott's full Werewolf form becomes even more monstrous-looking, but is able to regain control when the Hunter he was fighting surrenders. At the Martin Lake House, Stiles and Malia discover a room filled with old computer servers behind the wall of the soundproofed study at the lake house, which they find is powering the Deadpool. Thanks to Lydia's instructions, they are able to shut down the computers, deactivating hit-list and terminating all of the Benefactor's contracts. With their contracts terminated, the remaining hunters withdraw, collecting their wounded and dead before vanishing from the warehouse. In the sewers, Peter meets with Kate and, despite being rattled by his encounter with Meredith, continues with his plan to kill Scott and steal his Alpha powers.

## Continuity

* The Deadpool hit-list is finally shut down by Stiles and Malia. The Deadpool assassinations began in *Muted* after the theft of the $117 million dollars of bearer bonds from the Hale Vault in *117*.
* Scott transforms into a more monstrous Werewolf form than usual for the first time in this episode. It is unknown if this is due to him temporarily losing control while fighting the assassins or if this is actually his True Alpha form.
* It is revealed that while Meredith Walker was technically The Benefactor (with help from Brunski, her accomplice), she actually got the idea from Peter Hale while they were hospitalized together in the years after the Hale House Fire due to Meredith's curious connection to Peter's mind while he was in a coma.
* The fallen members of the Beacon Hills Packs are referenced by Scott in a conversation with Liam.
	+ Allison Argent was killed by an Oni demon in *Insatiable*. This fact was also referenced by Meredith while talking to Lydia as an explanation to why she started the Deadpool-- because too many innocent people die because of the supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills.
	+ Aiden was killed by an Oni in *The Divine Move*.
	+ Vernon Boyd was killed by Kali (with help from Ethan and Aiden and using Derek's claws) in *Currents*.
	+ Erica Reyes was killed at some point between *Master Plan* and *Chaos Rising* by Kali.
* The surviving members of Satomi Ito's pack appear in this episode for the first time, including Brett Talbot's little sister Lorilee Rohr. The other members of the pack were killed by The Chemist using his modified canine distemper virus in *Orphaned*.
	+ Brett also appears in this episode. He was last seen in *Orphaned*.
* Kira returns in this episode after having been in Palo Alto at the hospital with Noshiko since the end of *Time of Death*.
* Peter's flashbacks reveal that he knew the Argent Family would be coming for the Hale Family prior to the Hale House Fire. The Hale House Fire occurred roughly six years before the events of *Wolf Moon*.
* Stiles and Malia rekindle their romantic relationship in this episode. They "broke up" in *Weaponized* after Malia learned that he and Scott had lied to her about Peter being her biological father.
* It is finally confirmed in this episode that Peter and Kate are working together, and that Peter intends to kill Scott. Peter first offered his assistance to her in *Orphaned*.
* Stiles references his last MRI when Melissa McCall insists that he needs a CT scan to make sure he didn't get seriously injured by the concussion he got from being hit by Brunski in *Perishable*. The MRI he is referring to was performed in *Riddled*.
* The reemergence of yellow wolfsbane occurs in this episode when Chris Argent steals a large plant of it from a wolfsbane growhouse. This will not come back into play until the Season 4 finale *Smoke and Mirrors* and the Season 5B episode *Codominance*.
* It is revealed that though Lorraine Martin was on the list of Eichen House patients killed by Brunski that was uncovered in *Perishable*, she wasn't actually killed at Eichen House, but in her Banshee study at the Martin Lake House.
* Peter performs the memory-sharing ritual on Meredith in this episode, which has not been used since Season 3's *De-Void*.
* Sheriff Stilinski references the first time he let Peter walk away after killing someone in *The Benefactor* when he is forced to let Peter go again in this episode. He then says that there won't be a third time, possibly foreshadowing the fact that the McCall Pack and their allies will eventually stop him at the end of the season.
* Meredith references Peter's quote from the end of the Season 3A finale *Lunar Ellipse* after he killed Jennifer Blake on top of the Nemeton-- "I am the Alpha. I have always been the Alpha!"

## Trivia

* The title refers to Scott's brief monstrous transformation, Satomi and Argent's conversation about Werewolves being violent creatures, and Lydia and Meredith's conversation, where Lydia stated, "Not all monsters do monstrous things."
* It was discovered that the old-fashioned computers that run the Deadpool were hidden behind the wall in Lorraine Martin's study at the Martin lake house, which Stiles and Malia were able to shut down with a key hidden in an old wine bottle.
* It was also discovered that Lorraine predicted all of the deaths of those on the Deadpool prior to her death, which is why she left the computer code, Mountain Ash, and other clues for Lydia to find near her eighteenth birthday.
* Lily Bleu Andrew, who plays Lorilee Rohr, is the sister of Claire Bryétt Andrew (who plays Sydney) and the daughter of Tim Andrew, a director and executive producer of *Teen Wolf*.
