Pros: TALIA HALE IS MY NEW FAVORITE!!! SERIOUSLY, SHE IS (was *tears up*) SUCH A BOSS, oh, so Peter's always been delightfully manipulative, and he and Derek are close in age? (So I guess the Piles and Pydia shipping's gonna skyrocket... ew), Deucalion is an actual character now! Seriously - felt sorry for him and everything, he was such a cool dude, this answered a lot of questions, though Cora still hasn't done anything, but at least we get a feel for her character here, SCOTT WAS AWESOME! SO VERY AWESOME AT THE END THERE, all of this backstory that linked everything was lovely, we finally learn things about Deaton and Morell! I have a few negative things to say on the subject, but Derek/Page was actually well done (fuck you Dennifer!), it had all the workings of a classical tragic romance, Derek was a failwolf back then, too, Ennis actually has a reason for existing now, the alpha pack backstory was awesome, as well as the stuff with the Argents, DETECTIVE STILES IS BACK MOTHER FUCKAS, and we got to see like twenty seconds of Sheriff Stilinski being awesome, which wasn't enough but I take what I can get, I really dug the dialogue
Cons: So Derek/Paige, it was well done, as I said before, but it didn't really seem relevant to the episode, the audience didn't need an explanation as to why Derek was traumatized, did they really need to add to his Trauma Conga Line? It seems like the only reason it was in the story was to provide an explanation for the whole "why the blue eyes?" thing (or possibly so the writers can nail in his extreme heterosexuality), poor dude, he has officially lost any rights to calling any teenager stupid, (I'm just bitter because I really wanted to see his backstory with Kate because I want to write fics concerning it...)
PS: All around good episode that assuaged many of my fears.
Theory: Ethan and Aiden are going to switch to the good side. I've thought this for a while, considering their attachments to Danny and Lydia, but the fact that they weren't there at the formation of the alpha pack makes me think that they never had a little killing spree. I think they will eventually be redeemed.
