ā | Jennifer: "I need a guardian... And that's a role that can either be filled by the three parents I was forced to take, or by you." Derek: "I can't help you. I'm not even an Alpha anymore." Jennifer: "All I need is for you to help me get Deucalion in the right place at the right time." Derek: "You just killed three of them on your own. What do you need me for?" Jennifer: "You haven't seen him at his strongest-- I have. And if he's got Scott with him, I don't stand a chance unless I have you. [...] I have the eclipse in my favor, but the moon's only gonna be in the Earth's umbral shadow for fifteen minutes. That's the extent of my window. There's no decision to struggle with-- help me kill him, and the others live. Just help me." |

Trivia[]
- The title is a play on words in reference to the lunar eclipse that occurred in this episode, combined with the word "ellipse," a reference to the fact that this episode is the midseason finale of Season 3.
- Though the episode aired on MTV on Monday, August 19, 2012, the episode was accidentally leaked to season-pass subscribers on iTunes on August 16, and despite the fact that the episode was taken down within a few hours, it was still up long enough to make it on many illegal file sharing websites. Fortunately, this did little to negatively affect the ratings, as it received 2.081 million viewers when it aired as scheduled.
