Featured Song: "Seven" by APES
- Two special guests this week - team member Donya and Japan expert Jen!
- We explain the slight mishap of this week's recording.
- Fave quotes as usual - a mix of very funny and very serious this week.
- We see young Chris Argent dealing with the yakuza and the demons. He is H-O-T.
- We discuss Gerard's terrible parenting skills, and Gerard's terrible existence. Donya has met the actor, Michael Hogan, and tells a story about this!
- Kira touches Scott's werewolf face - she's DEFINITELY a fangirl. Are there parallels with Allison here?
- Also, nice visual effects trick with the helmet there.
- Stiles tells Scott about what he suspects is going on with him and we once again are grateful that the people on this show actually communicate.
- Barely anyone's at school today, Stiles takes himself out to go to the hospital, Allison and Isaac go off with Chris.
- Allisaac win prizes for escalating the blunt sexual awkwardness every single week. What a first kiss!
- Melissa sedates Stiles due to his lack of sleep. This is totally illegal, by the way. Also, have all the other kids not been out for three days in a row as well?
- Melissa compares Stiles's symptoms to those of his late mother, Claudia. We've suspected she had a degenerative brain disease for a while.
- Donya's actually found a horrible condition, Fatal Familial Insomnia, which seems to hit the proverbial nail on the head. We learn about this hereditary problem and it really seems to fit.
- Are the Stilinski symptoms a genuine medical issue, or a supernatural problem hiding itself?
- If Stiles is really dying, should Scott give him the bite?
- We wonder about what type of kitsune that Kira might be.
- One thing's for sure - she's not a Gryffindor Kitsune. Whether she's protecting Scott or herself, she offers up some very Slytherin logic.
- We've got some alternate names for Agent McCall, and Jen is more concerned about the condition of Melissa's carpets than the agent's chest wound.
- What does he want to tell Scott? Is it the standard "I really love you, sonnyboy" or does he have a big secret?
- The twins bust in. Derek busts in. We appreciate one more than the other.
- Hint: the one we appreciate is Derek. He's being soooooo awesome and hilarious and hey, did he actually win a fight?
- Karen accidentally makes a mean joke about this.
- Deaton's new alarm system. Is Deaton actually doing a great job at helping Scott? We think he's either incompetent or shady.
- We meet the "Silverfinger" Katashi - or Shang Tsung to Karen. We discuss the various merits and failings of the seminal 90s classic Mortal Kombat, which starred both this actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Linden Ashby. Karen hopes they hung out on the set of Teen Wolf.
- Katashi isn't what we expected - he's not a bad guy! - and he tells the Argents about the demons - oni - and their hunt for the nogitsune - a chaos/void spirit.
- Are the oni, by their very nature, evil, good, or something that transcends those concepts?
- We knew dark!Stiles was coming. It wasn't a big reveal. But man, it still hit us so hard to see it! We wax lyrical over what Dylan can do and we're scared about how this will turn out!
- We finish up with our Non Sequitur Section about cool stuff in our direct vicinity!
