## History

Scott and Liam first meet in " Muted", where initially shows subtle hints of jealousy towards Liam when he came to Beacon Hills High School. In fact, he is actually touched that Liam wants to become a good lacrosse player and co-captain like Scott. However, Stiles gets into Scott's head that Liam is trying to replace him rather than follow in his footsteps. he determined that Liam was human and left the matter at that until that afternoon's first official lacrosse try-out of the new season. During practice, Scott accidentally breaks Liam's leg and later saves him from a Wendigo teenager. Sean was then killed by The Mute, who left before Scott could figure out who he was, but the damage to Liam had already been done-- Scott had bitten Liam hard enough to either turn him into a Werewolf or kill him.

In the next episode, Liam turned into Scott' snext Beta. However, due to the effects of the full moon, Liam beats up Scott and blames him for his newly found werewolf powers. Luckily, Scott calms him down and the two become friends.

In "Orphaned," Garrett poisoned Liam with wolfbane and imprisoned him in a well to have leverage over Scott. He forced the werewolf to help him break his girlfriend to violet out of police custody. In exchange, Garrett said he would tell Scott where he hid Liam. However, due to his backstabbing nature, it was clear that Garrett would probably not have kept his end of the deal due to the Deadpool. Scott, angry, agreed to help, but before they could attack the armored car, Garrett was killed by one of Kate's Berserkers, Violet was taken, and Scott, Noah and Rafael we're all injured. Chris Argent came across the attack, and he had to take Scott to Deaton as Rafael and Noah were taken to the hospital.

Without Garrett to tell him where Liam was, Scott went with Argent to find Kate, who has Violet. However, when Chris and Scott got there, Kate had already murdered the girl and her Berserkers attacked Scott and Chris before they drew back. Scott, fearful for Liam, feared he was too late to save him. However, they heard Liam's cry for help and Scott was able to track Liam down at the well that Garrett was holding him the hostage. Pulling his beta up, Liam started crying and Scott brought him into an embrace to comfort him. After this experience, Scott and Argent took Liam to the pet clinic, where Deaton treated him.

## Trivia

* According to Gerard, if Scott were to lose Liam it would devastate him, which is why his hunters targeted him.
* Scott and Liam both have a relationship similar to Scott and Derek's friendship in later season. In fact, Scott has given Liam the same speech about how the fight is a gift and how it makes them brothers similar to how Derek told Scott this in Wolf Moon.
* Scott and Liam also share many traits:
	+ Both are lacrosse players who have become well known for their athletic prowess.
	+ Both were given the Bite without consent, though Scott gave Liam the Bite to save his life, whereas Peter gave Scott the Bite to gain more power to achieve his own goals.
	+ Both have a human best friend (Stiles Stilinski and Mason Hewitt, respectively) who helped them deal with their lycanthropy, joined their pack with them, and who were possessed by evil spirits (the Nogitsune for Stiles, and Sebastien Valet/The Beast of Gevaudan for Mason), causing them to kill and hurt many people. They also both fought as hard as they could to save their best friends from their possession despite others telling them that the only way to save everyone was to kill them.
	+ Both fell in love for the first time with women who were subsequently killed as the result of a battle against their enemies (Allison Argent by the Oni/Nogitsune, and Hayden Romero by the Dread Doctors). Eventually, both girls were resurrected through different means.
		- Interestingly enough, both women are also similar in looks and personality, as they are both tall, slim brunettes who are more than capable of taking care of themselves and who both experienced inner darkness as a result of dying and being resurrected.
