Continuity

This episode marks the first of the long string of Deadpool murders with the deaths of Christina, David, Michael, and Sean Walcott at the hands of The Mute, though it will not be revealed that they are related to the Deadpool until The Benefactor. This episode marks the first appearance of Liam Dunbar, Garrett, the Walcott Family (including Sean Walcott), The Mute, and Dr. Geyer. It is also revealed that Liam was expelled from Devenford Prep, which is why he now attends Beacon Hills High School. This expulsion will continue to affect Liam throughout the season. Scott and Kira officially begin their romantic relationship in this episode. They also kiss for the first time since De-Void in this episode. Also, the start of a romantic relationship between Derek and Braeden begins in this episode. The Wendigo supernatural species makes its first appearance in the series. The Nogitsune is mentioned by Kira in this episode. He was last seen in The Divine Move. Scott is forced to bite Liam to keep him from falling off the ledge of the roof of Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, making Liam the first human that Scott has bitten since becoming an Alpha in Lunar Ellipse. Stiles references Scott improving his grades so he can rejoin the lacrosse team after Coach Finstock told him to do so in Season 2's Master Plan. Chris Argent was mentioned by Scott and Stiles. He was last seen in The Divine Move. Stiles references the bills that are piling up at his house due to his hospital and Eichen House stay. He was hospitalized in Silverfinger and Riddled, and he was admitted to Eichen House in Echo House. Derek is revealed to be very concerned about his newly-golden Werewolf eyes and hires Braeden to find Kate so he can figure out what she did to him. His eyes were first shown to have turned gold in 117. Lydia goes into a Banshee fugue state that draws her to the Walcott's house, where she and Deputy Parrish find the game locker full of dead bodies. The last time Lydia had a fugue state like this was in 117, when she was drawn to the gas station where Kate had killed one of its employees. It is also revealed that Lydia has unconsciously written a computer code in her math notes, much like how she unconsciously drew the Nemeton in Unleashed, Currents, and The Girl Who Knew Too Much, though the exact nature of the code will not be revealed until The Benefactor. Malia explains her highlighter system for her school notes, which is almost identical to Stiles' method of color-coding the yarn on his clue board in Galvanize.

Trivia

• Kira becomes the first female student to join the Beacon Hills High School boys lacrosse team.
• Derek hires Braeden to track down Kate for him because he is concerned about his werewolf eyes turning yellow again. To do this, he had to pay her more money than Araya and Severo Calavera, who originally hired her to find Kate and bring her back to them.
• Noshiko and Ken Yukimura reveal that they plan to move back to New York now that Noshiko's mission of dealing with the Nogitsune is over. However, Kira cuts up the "For Sale" sign outside their home, which causes no one to come to the open house to find a buyer, leading them to end up staying in Beacon Hills.
  • It is also revealed that Ken was previously a professor at Columbia University, an Ivy League university in Manhattan, New York.
