## Throughout Teen Wolf/Teen Wolf: The Movie

### Lizzie Mikaelson

Though it has not been seen Hope said to Theo it helped Lizzie while they were growing up.

### Josie Mikaelson

Josie used it to speak with her subconscious. However, when she used it, it took the form of her dark alter ego. She believed the prism to be malfunctioning, though dropping it and picking it back up proved that it was just her subconsciousness and he had actually manifested.

Shocked, Josie asks how she can be stronger. Dark Josie tells her to embrace her full potential as a witch and stop suppressing her power. She also helped Josie to see that she's repressing an essential part of herself.

Later, after figuring out something is coming, Josie asks her subconscious for help in reading aramaic , an ancient language which she has forgotten. Dark Josie asks her why she should care, but Josie snaps at her subconscious because she cares. Ultimately, her subconsciousness helps her translate the text, but tells her that she is useless in her efforts to combat the thing coming if she's not going to embrace her full potential. While Josie believes this to be a ploy by Dark Josie to trick her into doing black magic, Dark Josie tells her that she will always be a part of her no matter what magic she practices.

### Hope Mikaelson

Hope used it to speak to her subconscious who took the form of her no humanity self, which surprised her. Hope asks her subconscious to help her and Theo train to fight the Anuk-ite. It tells her that she knows why she's their because she is Hope. Hope shot back saying she isn't her. No Humanity Hope shot back asking why is she her subconscious. She said it could have taken the shape of anyone but it's her. She also states that she's the little voice in the back of Hope's head. Hope asks again how to fight the Anuk-ite with her subconscious' responds as don't look at it in the eyes are your screwed. Hope didn't like the responds and asked if it was a joke. Her subconscious said it isn't but saying if you don't then you will be dead. Her subconscious trains Hope and Theo to fight with their eyes closed.

Hope use the prism a second time to talk to someone who she wanted to for awhile. It took the form of Brett. She admits seeing his and Lori's ashes brought memories up. Prism Brett tells Hope that their kids look like her. He also tells her that she's a good mom and that Theo is a good father to them. Hope admits that things could have gone differently and he would be alive now. Prism Brett tells her that she needed to stop blaming herself for what happened to him and that she did what she could. Hope said that it wasn't enough. Her subconscious said that his love for her is what allowed her to love once more. He said that Derek started it, Brett guided it, and Theo finished it.
