Kate and Scott

They both loved Allison Argent

**The relationship between True Alpha Werewolf Scott McCall and Werejaguar Kate Argent.**

Kate and Scott initially met in Season 1, when Kate came to Beacon Hills to visit her brother Chris Argent, her sister-in-law Victoria, and her niece Allison (the latter of whom was Scott's girlfriend at the time) while also helping them hunt the Alpha Werewolf who was terrorizing the town. Though Kate didn't know it at the time, Scott saw her for the first time out late one night where she was pursuing the Alpha and had shot Derek Hale with a Nordic Blue Wolfsbane-laced bullet. Despite this, they weren't formally introduced until the following evening, when Argent and Kate walked in on Scott and Allison making out in the garage, an act that Kate found amusing and adorable. She encouraged Allison's romance with Scott and constantly complemented him on his sweet brown eyes. *("Magic Bullet")*

However, when Kate finally realized that Scott had recently been turned into a Beta Werewolf by the Alpha and was a reluctant ally to her former paramour, Derek Hale, Kate attempted to kill him, though she was stopped by her brother, Argent, who reminded her of their Hunter Code's rules regarding killing innocent and underage shapeshifters at the last moment. Kate was then seemingly killed by the Alpha when he ripped her throat out with his claws, but in reality, Kate had actually been scratched so deeply that she was turned into a Werejaguar. *("Code Breaker")*, *("The Dark Moon")*

Following Kate's escape from the Calavera Family of Hunters in Mexico, she set her sights on learning control over her transformations, rejoining her family in hunting the supernatural, and taking her revenge on Scott, whom she blamed for the decimation of the Argent line, despite the fact that it was her role in the Hale House Fire that kick-started the events that led to the harm and death caused to the members of her family. *("117")*, *("Orphaned")*

Once the Deadpool had ended, Kate used her Werejaguar powers to turn Scott into a Berserker with the intention of setting him loose on his pack, which would then leave them no choice but to kill him to save themselves and would keep her hands metaphorically clean in the process. *("A Promise to the Dead")* Unfortunately for her, Scott's bond with his newly turned Beta Liam Dunbar allowed him to turn back into his True Alpha self. Between Scott's return to his normal state and her brother Argent joining the Calaveras in hunting her down, Kate had since gone on the run, leaving Kate and Scott's feud unresolved. *("Smoke and Mirrors")*

However, at the end of Season 6, Kate returned to Beacon Hills with two goals: first, she wanted to obtain the rare yellow wolfsbane found by Derek Hale to give to her father, Gerard, in hopes of proving herself and winning his favor so she could regain her position in the Argent Hunter family, and second, she wanted to use some of the yellow wolfsbane to kill Scott for good, a goal that Gerard also wanted as well due to his ability to overcome great adversity and attract people to fight alongside him, which went counter to the mission of Monroe's Army. *("Broken Glass")*

Unfortunately for Kate, Gerard betrayed her and gave the bullet to his protegee Tamora Monroe to kill Scott instead before using the leftover wolfsbane to craft a bullet which he then used to shoot her; when Kate argued that she was his daughter and an Argent, he insisted that she was still "one of them," referring to the supernatural community due to her status as a Werejaguar. Fortunately for Scott, Derek burned the wolfsbane out of his wound, saving his life, and Scott went on to defeat the Anuk-ite, whose fear-inducing powers were causing a lot of the strife between humans and supernaturals, though it did not completely disband Monroe's Army. *("The Wolves of War")*

## Throughout *Teen Wolf*

* Season 1
* Season 4
* Season 6

In *Magic Bullet*, Scott, who was drawn out of bed in the middle of the night by his yet-unidentified Alpha's roar, followed the sound to where Kate had stopped her car to fight off the Alpha's attack, though she did not see him at the time due to his superhuman speed. He then watched as Kate used a sniper rifle to shoot Derek Hale (who had also been drawn toward the Alpha in an attempt to learn his identity, though Kate, too, was not aware that it was Derek) with a Wolfsbane-laced bullet and heard Kate and her brother Chris Argent talking about the fact that the Beta she shot would be dead within two days using his superhuman hearing ability.

The next day, Allison invited Scott, her new boyfriend, to come over to her house to study. Upon going into Allison's bedroom, Scott saw a photo of Allison and Kate, recognizing the latter as the woman who shot Derek, and asked her who she was, leading Allison to reveal that Kate was her aunt, though she said they were more like sisters. After Allison took Scott to the garage armory to show him her skills as an archer, the two began to make out, only to be caught by Argent and Kate upon returning from the grocery store. Kate, finding their relationship to be cute, overrode Argent's wishes and invited Scott to stay for dinner with the family.

During dinner, Kate kindly tried to change the subject to lacrosse when Argent began the overprotective-father act toward Scott. After Scott's best friend Stiles called Scott to inform him about the fact that Derek was running out of time and needed a sample of the Wolfsbane in the bullet in order to cure himself, Scott attempted to get into a room with a locked door, causing an alarm to go off. Kate found him in the hallway and remarked that he looked like a "lost puppy" before pointing him in the direction of the bathroom in the guest bedroom where she was staying.

Scott then searched through her bag until he found the wooden box with the Wolfsbane rifle rounds and grabbed one before quickly making his way downstairs and informing the Argents that he really needed to leave. However, Kate insisted that he needed to stay for dessert, and after Victoria Argent remarked on the fact that Scott worked for the town's veterinarian, Argent began a story about a "rabid dog" that was clearly an allusion to Werewolves, making Scott incredibly nervous.

Once the dinner was over, Scott was in the middle of saying goodbye to Allison when Kate, followed quickly by Argent, confronted him about the fact that she had just found her bag left open after Scott has used the bathroom and insisted that he turn out his pockets to reveal what he stole. After Scott lied and said that he hadn't stolen anything, Allison finally stepped in and revealed that she had, in fact, stolen a condom from Kate's bag, shocking Argent and Kate so much that they let Scott leave without any further argument.

In *Lunatic*, Kate was helping train her niece Allison in self-defense by teaching her how to use a taser in her room, an event that Kate made Allison promise not to tell her father about because he would kill her.

After Allison was able to successfully hit her target, her teddy bear known as Mr. Bear, Kate congratulated her before beginning to say that the attacker at the school the other night wouldn't have stood a chance if she'd had a taser, when suddenly, she noticed that Allison had began crying and asked her what was going on. Kate gently reminded Allison that she had wanted to learn to defend herself, but Allison shook her head and stated that she didn't know what happened with her and Scott, leading Kate to reply, "Aw, listen, my gorgeous, young niece-- you're gonna break hearts left and right, okay? And he was lucky to have gotten the tiny little taste of Allison Argent's world that he got."

Allison went on to say that things felt *right* with Scott until he started acting strangely, and now she didn't know what to believe, causing Kate to remind her that Scott was a guy, and thus couldn't be trusted to tell the truth. However, when Allison mentioned that she had seen Scott with Derek Hale the other night, despite the fact that Scott had said that they didn't know each other, Kate immediately interrupted her and asked her if Scott and Derek, the latter of whom she referred to as "alleged killer Derek," were friends. Allison didn't think so based on what Scott had told her, but her hesitance caused Kate to firmly instruct her to tell her *everything* that Scott had told her about Derek.

Unbeknownst to both Kate and Allison at this time, Scott was about to undergo his second full moon since becoming a Werewolf. Later on, Kate and her brother, Argent, were discussing the Alpha and the two Betas they had seen running with him. They both knew that one of them was Derek, but they couldn't figure out who the second one was and had not yet realized that it had been Scott all along. When they saw the sight of what they believed to be a Werewolf attack and watched Stiles Stilinski, Scott's best friend, approach his father, Sheriff Stilinski, Kate wondered aloud if the second Beta could be Stiles, pointing out that the second Beta may not just be smaller, but younger as well.

In *Code Breaker*, Argent was furious at Kate for exposing Allison to the supernatural world and their family's legacy as Hunters when they wanted her to live a normal life. Since the Alpha Werewolf was too dangerous, Argent and Victoria ordered Allison to pack up before instructing Kate to take her to Washington, where they would be safe.

Appalled that she was being put on the sidelines when the Alpha was close to being in their grasp, Kate took Allison to Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital instead of leaving Beacon Hills, so that Allison could see her best friend Lydia Martin recovering from the wounds she sustained from the Alpha earlier that night. Afterward, having seen how horrified Allison was as a result of the extent of Lydia's injuries, Kate took advantage of her emotional state to make certain that Allison saw every supernatural creature—her boyfriend Scott included—the way that she did, which was as a dangerous enemy who needed to be stopped.

Kate and Allison grabbed their gear and tracked down Derek and Scott to the Hale House ruins, wasting no time in incapacitating them with arrows and flashbangs. Scott attempted to explain to Allison that all of his lies were meant to protect her from the new supernatural world to which he now belonged, but Allison refused to listen to any of it. Kate insisted that the two Werewolves had to be killed and shot Derek to make her point.

Allison, believing that they were just capturing the two Betas, became horrified by the implication that they were going to be killed, and Kate quickly realized Allison wouldn't have the courage to kill her boyfriend. So, Kate aimed her gun at Scott's head against Allison's wishes, making one last remark about Scott's puppy brown eyes and prepared to pull the trigger until a male voice called out her name.

Argent emerged from the woods and ordered his ruthless sister to lower her weapon, having been made aware of Kate's main role in the Hale House Fire that killed numerous members of the Hale Family, including children, both humans and Werewolves alike. Although Kate attempted to defend herself by simply stating she was following orders, Argent was not buying it and pointed out that she was currently pointing a gun at the head of a sixteen-year-old boy with no solid proof that he spilled innocent human blood.

He then reminded her of the code "*Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent*," or "We hunt those who hunt us," but Kate still refused to back down. Argent pulled out his own gun and, to the surprise and shock of both Allison and Kate, shot at the tree behind Kate to show that he was serious and was willing to put his own sister down to uphold the Code; this tactic ultimately made Kate comply with her brother's orders and she finally lowered her gun.

Their argument was interrupted when the door to the remains of the Hale House was opened, alerting Scott that the Alpha was there with them. The Alpha, revealing himself to the Argents as Peter Hale, used his incredible speed to disorient his enemies and incapacitated Argent, then Allison and, finally, Scott. He reappeared next to Kate and caught her arm in a strong grip that forced her to let go of her gun before he dragged her to the Hale House. Allison desperately ran inside in an effort to save her aunt but she was too late—Peter had Kate in his grasp with his claws nearly cutting her throat.

Peter compared Allison to Kate, saying that, while he believed they looked alike, he considered Allison to be "less damaged" than her aunt, before he offered Kate the chance to save her niece. The price of her survival was for Kate to simply apologize for decimating his family and leaving him burned and broken for six years. Not wanting her niece to die, Kate muttered "I'm sorry," but she was only apologizing to Allison, not at all sorry for murdering innocent Werewolves and humans in the Hale House Fire or for what she did to Peter. Knowing this, Peter ripped out Kate's throat in front of Allison, much to her horror, stating that Kate's apology just didn't seem that sincere.

In *The Dark Moon*, Scott and his newly formed pack traveled to Mexico after learning that Derek mysteriously disappeared from his loft weeks earlier and were certain that the Calavera family of Hunters had captured him, given the casings they found in the loft with their family's symbol stamped on them. However, it was soon confirmed that the Calaveras did not know where Derek was located either and, in turn, captured Scott and his friends.

Araya Calavera prepared a test that involved having Kira electrocute Scott to force him to really think about who really took Derek and where he was taken, making it clear that if she refused to obey, Araya would turn the dial on Lydia, who would be unable to heal at a rapid rate like Scott. The young True Alpha asked Kira to comply with every one of the Calaveras' orders so Lydia would not be harmed. Araya questioned Scott over who could have taken Derek, stating it had to be someone who had a particular vendetta toward the Hale Family and someone who was turned into a shapeshifter, but not through a bite.

When Araya turned the dial to the highest level, Scott remembered hearing a conversation between Argent and Kate about the chances of people being turned into shapeshifters through a scratch, which Argent confirmed to be possible if the claws went deep enough. Scott roared at the top of his lungs and broke through the steel restraints in his hands before informing them that Kate was the one who kidnapped Derek.

Araya then connected the pack with Braeden, a mercenary who would lead them to *La Iglesia*, the ruins of an Aztec temple to Tezcatlipoca where she believed Kate was hiding out with Derek in captivity. She warned them that every one of her Hunters who had been sent to capture Kate and bring her back had ended up dead, and she stated she wanted to see if they could do better.

Though Scott did make it to the temple, he did not see Kate there, only one of her Berserkers, who nearly killed Scott and Braeden until Scott roared it into submission and caused it to flee. However, they did find Derek, who had been de-aged by Kate in some kind of ritual for reasons that were not apparent at this time.

## Trivia

* Scott and Kate are both shapeshifters—Scott is a Werewolf and Kate is a Werejaguar.
	+ Why Kate turned into a Werejaguar instead of a Werewolf like Scott is currently unknown. However, some speculate that this is the result of the common supernatural adage "The shape you take reflects the person that you are," meaning that Kate's status as a Werejaguar reflects her true nature.
* Both Kate and Scott were both turned by Peter Hale; Scott was turned first in Season 1's *Wolf Moon* after Peter gave him the Bite on purpose, whereas Kate was turned second in Season 1's *Code Breaker* after Peter unintentionally turned her when he ripped her throat out with his claws, scratching her deeply enough to transform her.
* Kate doesn't see Scott as the hero most people, such as her brother Chris Argent believe him to be. This is both due to her hatred of Werewolves and other shapeshifters, as well as due to her mistaken belief that he was the cause of Allison's death.
* Scott is the first and, so far, only person Kate has been shown to turn into a Berserker, though he only remained one for less than a day before his relationship with Liam caused him to turn back into a Werewolf.
