Summary:
A lot happens in this episode, so let's get right down to it. We start with Jackson showing how whipped he is, and discovering a dead body in the video store. He hides from the alpha in the horror section. The alpha considers making Jackson his bitch, until he sees that Derek's already done that. So instead, he scarpers, and Lydia gets her first glimpse of the supernatural.
Cut to father-son bonding, Stilinski style. This involves burgers, quibbling over diet, and hanging out in the cruiser. Upon being called to the video store, Jackson is a douche to the Sheriff (no surprises there).
Scott's taking Werewolf 101 classes from Derek! Yay! Derek is sassy, Scott is dense. Shocker, I know.
Creepy Kate gives Alison a necklace that has ties to their family. Alison freaks out about her birthday. Scot is surprisingly tactful about it. They decide to bail as a birthday present.
Mr Harris is a dick while talking about Parent-Teacher Night. Also creepily inappropriate towards Jackson. Stiles shows his talent with his mouth, then doesn't know how to shut it. Poor Danny.
Derek decides to hang out in the boys' locker room to interrogate Jackson, and be a dick.
Stiles visits Lydia to check on her. Here we have the famous “What the hell is a Stiles?” line! Apparently drugs do not help interrogations. Especially when they turn giraffes into mountain lions, or Stiles into Jackson. Stiles' curiosity gets him a video of the alpha.
Creepy Kate and a couple of minions pay Derek a visit. Hellooooooo eyecandy.
The goons make dog jokes. Kate gets personal. Derek does not approve.
Stiles panics, trying to get hold of Scott. No luck. His dad isn't looking forward to Parent-Teacher night.
Back to Kate and Derek. Turns out Derek doesn't like electricity, especially when he's getting hit with a stick made of lightning. Well, not quite, but you get the gist. From some of the things being said, it appears that he and Creepy Kate have a history. I wonder what's going on there... Kate confirms that it wasn't hunters who killed Laura, it was the alpha. Then she tries to ventilate Derek with a semi-automatic. Good thing he's off and running shirtless through the woods.
Sheriff Stilinski visits the vet to see if he knows what the creature at the video store was. Deaton's evasive, as per usual. Sheriff's getting suspicious.
Parent-Teacher Conference Time! The parents clearly don't know their kids. Jackson's close to breaking, Lydia's hiding the real her, the Argents find out that Alison's skipped, Mr Harris is a douche to Mrs McCall, and there's an incredibly awkward conversation between Coach Finstock and Sheriff Stilinski.
After this, Mrs McCall meets the Argents. They don't hit it off. Alison and Scott arrive back just in time for a real mountain lion to wander into the car park. The Sheriff gets hit by a car (nothing serious). The mountain lion gets hit by a bullet, courtesy of Mr Argent. Meaningful glances are exchanged.
Roll credits.
Favourite scene:
Despite the eyecandy in other scenes, my favourite is the meeting between Sheriff Stilinski and Coach Finstock. It's the infamous scene where we learn that Stiles /really/ has trouble concentrating, and wrote a paper on the history of the male circumcision... for his Economy mid-term exam. Whoops. We also find out that Stiles' first name is almost unpronounceable, his middle name is apparently Genim (as Jeff Davis has said that this isn't his first name, but it was on his file) and that Coach Finstock likes being called 'cupcake'. Oh, and Sheriff Stilinski is completely awesome, but you should know that already. He calls Finstock 'cupcake' and tries to defend Stiles' paper, until being told it was for Economy. His response? “Aw, crap.”
Least favourite scene:
My least favourites would be the bits with Scott and Alison in the woods. Don't get me wrong, they're beautifully shot, and good fillers, but that's all they really are. Fillers, space to let the mind sort out all the rest of the information. My other problem with them is that two teenagers manage to wander around in the woods all day... with no food? They skipped out before the first class of the day, and only start heading back to town when it gets dark. Alison I can maybe understand, but Scott? C'mon, he's a teenage boy. No way would he go that long without eating, and since Alison doesn't know he's a werewolf, I doubt he went and ate a rabbit.
