**The relationship between Beta Werewolf Liam Dunbar and Chimera Corey Bryant**.

Though Liam and Corey were initially mutual acquaintances due to each one's relationship with Mason Hewitt, neither one liked the other due to being members of rival packs. Liam hated Theo Raeken, Corey's then-"Alpha," for his role in manipulating him into trying to kill his own Alpha, Scott, and he hated Corey by association (though Corey's loyalty to Theo was more out of self-preservation and gratitude for his role in his resurrection than anything else).

Meanwhile, Corey still distrusted Scott due to his actions weeks earlier while trying to save Liam and Hayden Romero from the Dread Doctors, in which Scott forcibly performed the Memory Manipulation ritual on him to try to locate Hayden and Liam through Corey's memories of his experimentation by the Doctors.

After the decimation of the Chimera Pack, Corey became a member of the McCall Pack, but the animosity between Liam and Corey continued on for several weeks despite this fact. Once it became clear that their rivalry was straining their respective relationships with Mason, the two decided to finally make amends for the past in order to save Mason from having to choose between them.

From then on, Liam and Corey grew to become good friends and allies, working together in order to use Corey's power of adaptive camouflage to learn more about the Ghost Riders of the Wild Hunt, who had come to Beacon Hills in order to capture its citizens and make them into more of their kind. Upon the realization that Corey's Chimera powers could help prevent the Ghost Riders from merging the real world with the Wild Hunt's dimension, he stole a horse and rode it into the aforementioned alternate dimension so that he could help Mason and Hayden save Corey, though they were forced to wait until right after Scott was able to pull the diverter in order to ensure that the worlds would not fully merge.

Corey and Liam's relationship continued to strengthen and improve over the summer, when Liam unofficially took control over the remaining McCall Pack members as an acting Alpha in preparation for Scott (and the rest of the older pack members, Stiles, Lydia, and Malia) leaving for college. Corey was supportive of Liam in the aftermath of his breakup with Hayden and put himself in harm's way by trying to protect Liam from the mob of teenage Hunters being recruited to hunt supernatural creatures by Tamora Monroe and Gerard Argent.

Likewise, Liam was intent to save Mason and Corey when they were trapped in the hospital with members of Monroe's Army and even went so far as to team up with his frenemy Theo Raeken in order to fight his way through to help rescue them.

In *Ouroboros*, Mason Hewitt ran into Corey Bryant at the high school library and Sinema and learned that Corey had developed an accelerated healing ability, among other powers, revealing that he was one of the dozen Chimeras created by the Dread Doctors. Mason went on to bring him to the McCall House, where Scott McCall, Malia Tate, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, and Theo Raeken had gathered to formulate a plan to rescue Liam Dunbar and Hayden Romero from the Dread Doctors, who had captured them to experiment on them.

Lydia and Mason initially decided the best way to find where the Dread Doctors' operating theater was located was by having him read *The Dread Doctors* novel by Gabriel Valack, a tool meant to trigger repressed memories. They then moved upstairs to Scott's bedroom with Corey, where they stood watch as he began reading the book. Upon Scott's return, Corey apologized for how little progress he had made so far, stating that he was a slow reader.

However, because of the time necessary to complete the novel, time Scott did not believe that they had, the McCall Pack's Alpha decided to bypass this plan, instead piercing his claws through the back of Corey's neck to use the Memory Manipulation ritual in order to see his memories of being taken by the Doctors for experimentation and transformation into a Chimera. Though Corey was horrified by Scott's decision to perform the ritual without warning or gaining his consent, it was ultimately successful in providing the pack with the location of the operating theater, leading them to determine that Hayden and Liam were in the underground tunnels.

Unfortunately, though Liam and Hayden were in the operating theater for a time, they were ultimately moved to their holding cell in an Abandoned House in Beacon Hills, which the pack did not learn until Lydia and Theo talked with Corey further about what he remembered about his time with the Dread Doctors; Corey explained that there was a wall that looked like someone had punched a hole through it, leading Lydia and Theo to realize it was the same abandoned house where Jordan Parrish was attacked by Belasko in *Creatures of the Night*, when the latter broke through the wall to attack former.

Theo then used Corey's information to locate and save Liam and Hayden while Scott, Malia, and Mason searched the underground tunnels below the water treatment plant in vain.

In *Damnatio Memoriae*, Liam Dunbar and Mason Hewitt were at the high school, where they were discussing the revelation that Theo Raeken had managed to resurrect both Hayden Romero and Josh Diaz/ Just as they were about to walk through the door to the library, Corey Bryant walked into the hallway and greeted them kindly before asking them if they were there for the library clean-up as well.

Liam and Mason were both stunned speechless to see Corey, who had technically died a week or so earlier in *Lies of Omission*, and realized that Theo had managed to resurrect him in the same manner. After a long awkward silence, Liam and Mason both stated that they were before going inside to help clean up the mess, which, ironically and unbeknownst to anyone else, was caused by the fight between the supermoon-influenced Liam and his Alpha Scott McCall as a result of Theo's manipulations.

Liam went on to eavesdrop on Mason's conversation with Corey in order to get more information about his resurrection, but there was not much said aside from Corey stating his parents were happy they now had an excuse to sue the hospital and Corey asking Mason out on a date, causing him to stop paying attention after a few moments.

Afterward, when Mason left the conversation and returned to the other side of the library, Liam asked Mason what the plan was, and Mason pointed out that he had a date with Corey on Saturday, adding that he thought *that* was the plan. Liam exasperatedly pointed out that he was supposed to ask Corey about Theo and his plans and insisted that they couldn't wait until Saturday, but Mason just retorted, "Sorry, but Theo leading an evil Chimera Pack wasn't exactly a natural progression to the conversation."

Annoyed, Liam stated that he would go talk to Corey himself; however, when he left the library to go look for him, he was surprised to find that he was gone, though he sensed both Corey and Theo's presence in the hallway.

A short time later, Mason informed Liam that Corey wasn't texting him back, and Liam grimmly informed him that it was because he had left with Theo, much to Mason's surprise and disappointment. Mason pointed out that they should probably be doing something, or at least telling someone, but Liam, still smarting after his fight with Scott a few nights earlier, was hesitant to do so.

Mason insisted that it was vitally important that Liam tell Scott that Theo resurrected Corey, Hayden, Tracy Stewart, and Josh and was amassing a pack of Chimeras, but when Liam argued that Scott wasn't interested in hearing from him, Mason assured him that Scott was his Alpha and would accept his apology.

However, unbeknownst to Liam, Scott would have his own run-in with the entire Chimera Pack in the Underground Tunnels, where Scott was able to identify Corey's camouflaged presence by his scent, specifically the chemosignals that alerted Scott to Corey's fear of the powerful Alpha, though he would not know that Hayden was among the resurrected Chimeras until Liam would eventually tell him in *Codominance*, as she was the only one not involved in the battle due to her sister, Valerie Clark, keeping her on a watchful eye after she "disappeared for two days" (i.e. was being treated for mercury poisoning and subsequently dying in *Lies of Omission* and *Status Asthmaticus*.)

In *Amplification*, the Chimera Pack figured out that the McCall Pack was planning on breaking Lydia Martin out of Eichen House and made moves to follow them inside, as Theo believed that to eventually get to the Beast of Gevaudan, they needed the Hellhound possessing Jordan Parrish, who had a mysterious connection with Lydia's Banshee spirit.

Theo sent Corey to spy on Kira and Malia in the science lab, where the former was trying to learn how to siphon enough electricity to cause a brownout at Eichen House to aid in their rescue plan, which allowed him to inform the rest of the pack of the details of the McCall Pack's plans.

That night, the members of the respective packs, including Liam and Corey, made their way into Eichen House to enact their plans accordingly; Liam sneaked into the building in body bags with Scott and Stiles (and with help from Parrish), while Corey used his camouflage powers to walk in the door along with his packmates. Corey and the Chimeras were the first to make it to Lydia before Tracy Stewart inadvertently triggered a lockdown in the facility by critically harming and/or killing a guard, trapping them all inside.

In *Lie Ability*, after the Chimera Pack made it to Lydia Martin's room at Eichen House and confronted Gabriel Valack, her physician, the members of the pack began to face off against Jordan Parrish, who was under the control of Cerberus, the Hellhound spirit possessing him.

As usual, the first to take the bait was Tracy Stewart, after being urged on by the "Alpha" (in name only) Theo Raeken to fight in his name, but she was quickly knocked out, followed by Josh Diaz, due to the fact that the Hellhound was immune to their powers of Kanima Venom and Electromagnetokinesis, respectively. Corey was then sent in, and though he successfully used his Super Strength to block Parrish's blow, the Hellhound reacted by exploding into a burst of Pyrokinesis, causing Corey to be horrifically burned over his entire body in the burst of flames.

Though Corey and Liam did not interact much in this episode, the events that occurred paved the way for the two to eventually become friends, as Theo's insistence that Tracy, Josh, and Corey all fight while he tried to maintain a safe distance from the battle planted the seed in the minds of the latter two that they were only pawns to him, especially when Theo did nothing to help Corey after he was severely injured in Jordan Parrish's explosion of hellfire.

This is what led Josh to make a deal with Malia Tate near the end of the episode-- if she would absorb Corey's pain caused by his agonizing full-body burns he sustained in his fight against Parrish, Josh would absorb the excess electricity flooding Kira Yukimura's body as the result of her being a Thunder Kitsune reacting poorly to Eichen House's security system, which utilized a naturally-occurring conjunction of telluric currents. This led the rival packs to realize that they could potentially be of help to one another.

Thanks to the teamwork of Mason Hewitt's knowledge of the electrical system at Eichen House and Hayden Romero's Chimera powers allowing her to leap onto the top of the power shed to disconnect the electricity to the generator, Liam, Corey, and their respective packs were able to escape the lockdown more or less intact, with the rescued Lydia in tow with the McCall Pack.

In *Maid of Gévaudan*, after fighting against The Beast of Gevaudan the entire episode, Scott McCall finally caught its scent, which he, along with Liam Dunbar, tracked into the parking lot of the high school, where it found a bloody pair of sneakers matching the prints found by Sheriff Stilinski in *The Sword and the Spirit* near the Beast's own prints.

Just then, Mason Hewitt appeared and quizzically asked them why they were searching his car, leading Scott and Liam both to realize at the same time with a horrified pang that Mason was the genetic chimera that the Dread Doctors had implanted with Sebastien Valet's spirit. Mason insisted that it couldn't be him, but before they could argue further, Corey Bryant appeared, having hidden himself using his Adaptive Camouflage powers, and before the two Werewolves could stop him, Corey grabbed Mason by the shoulders, making them both invisible again before pulling Mason away and disappearing, both literally and figuratively.
