**The relationship between Omega Werewolf Ethan Steiner and Kanima-Werewolf hybrid Jackson Whittemore.**

As of Season 6, Jackson and Ethan had been in a romantic relationship for one year, indicating that they met in London, England in the fall of 2012, during the events of Season 5A. They soon moved in with each other in an apartment overlooking Big Ben and worked together to reach out to other supernatural creatures in the area, creating connections with neighboring wolf packs in the process.

In the fall of 2013, they got word that Hunters were tracking Werewolves in the area, leading Jackson to go to the Epping Forest to investigate. However, it was there that he found two English Hunters with a bag full of Werewolf claws as proof of death, just before the Hunters captured him and brought him back to Ethan and Jackson's apartment. After Jackson overpowered them, he and Ethan began questioning them on what they knew about the dead Werewolves and learned that Gerard Argent was involved as part of his global quest to eradicate all supernatural creatures.

This led Ethan and Jackson to return to Beacon Hills for the first time since they had each left in order to assist the McCall Pack in their fight against Gerard and Tamora Monroe's Hunter army. Once there, they were captured by Monroe and tortured for days until they were rescued by Stiles Stilinski and Lydia Martin. Though they were both petrified into stone when they made eye contact with the Anuk-ite while trying to reunite with the rest of the pack at Beacon Hills High School, they were eventually freed and returned to life after Scott McCall and Stiles defeated the ancient shapeshifter.

Jackson and Ethan have since returned to London, though they remain allies of the McCall Pack, and they are currently assisting them in finding more orphaned supernatural creatures to join their ranks in the fight against Monroe's Army, which has become a global organization with thousands of members. In Teen Wolf: The Movie, Jackson and Ethan are revealed to be still together, though Jackson was lured back to Beacon Hills by his former girlfriend Lydia, who needed his help in investigating a series of fires occurring in Beacon Hills Preserve, despite his promises to Ethan that he would never return to his hometown full of death and chaos. After attending the memorial service organized to honor the death of Derek Hale, who died to ensure the permanent destruction of the Nogitsune, Jackson returned to London.

## Throughout *Teen Wolf*

### Season 6

In *Werewolves of London*, Ethan Steiner was standing on the balcony of his flat, looking out at the London skyline, as he left a voicemail for his boyfriend urging him to make it home before their car arrived to take them to a show, which Ethan had been planning to attend since they got together. When the car showed up but the mysterious boyfriend was nowhere to be found, Ethan left another voicemail reminding him that if they didn't arrive to the theater in time, the doors would close and they would miss the show. Ten minutes passed, and Ethan, annoyed and frustrated, left a final voicemail detailing his anger that his boyfriend had forgotten their anniversary and, as a result, had caused them to miss the show he had spent the last twelve months planning for them to see.

Just then, the front door to their flat was kicked open, and Ethan's boyfriend is revealed to be the seemingly-unconscious Jackson Whittemore when he was thrown into the apartment, with ropes binding his wrists and ankles. Two English Hunters, one male and one female, stormed into the room, with the latter Hunter wasting no time in shooting Ethan in the chest with a tranquilizer dart full of purple wolfsbane. The dart released the wolfsbane into Ethan's system caused him to cough out a cloud of purple mist before collapsing to the floor, and the female Hunter remarked that Ethan was "just as cute as the other one."

The Hunters briefly talked amongst themselves about a mysterious man wanting them to get information before they killed the two Werewolves, which did not escape the latter two's notice. The Hunters then turned toward Ethan, not noticing Jackson stirring awake behind them. They informed Ethan that they knew that he and Jackson had been tracking other Werewolves and that they wanted to know their names so they could finish them off. Just as the female Hunter ordered the male Hunter to tie Ethan up, Ethan noticed that Jackson had just flicked out his claws and smugly remarked that they should have used yellow wolfsbane on Jackson, because, since Jackson was also part-Kanima, regular wolfsbane doesn't work on him.

Jackson burst out of his restraints and stood to his feet, his blue Werewolf eyes glowing as he began to fight the Hunters, which got out of control and destroyed several expensive decorations in the apartment, much to Ethan's horror. Once the Hunters were incapacitated, Jackson smirked and remarked that he couldn't believe Ethan thought he forgot their anniversary before kissing him passionately.

Later on, Ethan and Jackson began questioning the two Hunters, who they tied up with rope to ensure they wouldn't fight back. The two briefly continued to bicker with each other, with Jackson continuing to insist that he didn't forget their anniversary, and Ethan retorting that he said he both forgot *and* was late. When Jackson replied that it was clear that his abduction by Hunters didn't win him any sympathy, Ethan stated that he could make it up to him next year, though Jackson added, "Yeah, that is if any of us are still alive," indicating they were aware of the growing tensions between the Hunters and the supernatural community.

The conversation then turned to Jackson's mission to find a pack of Omegas, as Jackson apparently tracked them to the Epping Forest, only to find that the two Hunters found them first. Jackson pulled out a small bag full of severed clawed fingers, one from each Omega, which were cut off as proof of death. Jackson angrily turned to the Hunters and demanded to know how they found them, as he believed there was no way that "two random amateurs" could take down a dozen Werewolves without being torn apart. When the Hunters didn't speak up, Jackson went on to ask them where they got the wolfsbane and who sent them. The female Hunter finally spoke up and stated that they work alone, but that they were better Hunters than they think, causing Jackson to roll his eyes before asking if the name "Gerard" meant anything to them.

The expressions on the Hunters' faces at the sound of Gerard's name gave themselves away, and though the male Hunter insisted they didn't have to tell them anything, Ethan smirked and informed them that they already had, as they have a system for these sort of situations—Jackson questions their captives, and Ethan listens to their heartbeats to tell if they're lying, a skill that Jackson believed they were getting very accomplished at using. Jackson then deduced that Gerard gave them weapons and sent them to London before asking if Gerard was there as well. Knowing the jig is up, the female Hunter gave them a hard look and pointed out that they already know where Gerard was, leading Ethan and Jackson to realize that he was in Beacon Hills, California, where this all began.

At the end of the episode, Jackson and Ethan were both seen at Beacon Hills High School, where they were looking for Scott McCall, as they heard he was the new assistant lacrosse coach. Unfortunately for them, Jackson made them mistake of asking Tamora Monroe, the school guidance counselor and the leader of Gerard and Monroe's Hunter Army, if she had seen him anywhere. She asked him what his name was, and when Jackson gave her his first name, she quickly put the pieces together and realized that he was the Kanima-Werewolf hybrid once under the control of Gerard. After guessing his full name, Jackson smiled and asked her if she had heard of him, letting down his defenses enough that Monroe was somehow able to overpower both of them and take them hostage. She then brought them to the Argent Arms International armory and shackling them to the metal fence so that they could be tortured with water and electricity.

Once the shock ended, Ethan looked at Jackson exasperatedly and mocked him for his "You've heard of me?" response to Monroe knowing his name, leading Jackson to insist he thought it was a "lacrosse thing." Monroe went on to shock them one more time before she began her interrogation by demanding to know what they wanted with Scott McCall. Jackson kept up the smug jock routine by retorting, "Oh, I'm sorry, am I supposed to know who you are? Or be impressed by this little show?" Monroe electrocuted them a second time before repeating her earlier question, only for Jackson to respond that he actually has some questions for her. Monroe reminded them that this was not how the interrogation worked, only for Jackson to reply that it seemed as though the Hunters needed them more than they needed her, and that they'll never find out what they were going to tell Scott.

Monroe once again electrocutes them, but after the shock passed and they stopped screaming in pain, Jackson emotionally demanded to know why they were killing Werewolves in London and why they sent Hunters to chase them down. When Monroe reiterated that this was not how it worked, Ethan piped up, "It already did. He talks, I listen," with Jackson adding, "Yeah, we're getting pretty good at it." After Monroe hit them with another sustained shock, Jackson and Ethan gasped for breath as they looked at each other; they were unable to refrain from laughing when Jackson earnestly said "Happy Anniversary."

In *The Wolves of War*, once Jackson had broken out of his containment area at Argent Arms International after tricking the guard into coming to take a closer look at him and then proceeding to strangle him with his tail, he went to search for Ethan. He ended up running into Stiles and Lydia, who planned to rescue him, and he shared a heart-warming reunion with Lydia. When told that they can leave now, he responded by saying, "Not without Ethan." Lydia and Stiles, confused, asked why Ethan's there, so he responded by saying they were there together and ended up inadvertently coming out to them.

While Stiles made a stop to a vault in the armory, searching for Mountain Ash, Lydia and Jackson went on a search to get Ethan, whom they found bruised and beaten in another cell area.

The three of them went to track down Stiles at Beacon Hills High School, but ended up running into the Anuk-ite, forcing them all to shut their eyes. Later, Jackson stumbled his way into the locker room, calling out for Ethan. When the Anuk-ite responded, mimicking Ethan's voice, Jackson opened his eyes and was subsequently turned to stone upon making eye contact with the ancient shapeshifter. It's then shown that Ethan was also in the locker room searching for Jackson, but he, too, got turned to stone.

After Scott and Stiles defeated the Anuk-ite, Ethan and Jackson crumbled out of their statue-like state and reunited. Jackson, exhausted, asked if it was over, only to see a stray shooter from Monroe's Army come in and threaten them with a gun at the last moment. Fortunately for the two Werewolves, Coach Finstock rushed in and began hitting the Hunter repeatedly over the head with a lacrosse stick until he was knocked out. This caused Jackson to affectionately state that it was nice to see him again, a sentiment that Coach returned to his former lacrosse team captain.

In the flashforward two years into the future, both Jackson and Ethan were back in London in their apartment. Jackson was seen staring out the window overlooking Big Ben when Ethan came up from behind him and hugged him as he joined his partner in looking out over the city.
