FINGERS FLYING OVER THE KEYBOARD OF HIS LAPTOP, STILES BARELY PAUSES TO LOOK AT STILINSKI WAITING BY HIS DOOR.
"You know how many vehicle collisions last year involved deer? Two hundred and forty seven thousand."
Noah raises an eyebrow and glances over at Luna who lays upside down on Stiles' bed reading a magazine.
"Good luck Noah, I've been trying to get him to get off the computer for the last hour."
Sighing, Noah turns back to Stiles, "Please go to school."
"But that's just crossing the road. The deer last night came right down the middle."
"I'm not going to beg you."
"Good. I'm impervious to your influence anyway."
Luna snorts out a laugh.
Noah runs his temple, "Would you be open to a bribe?"
Stiles scoff, "You couldn't meet my price."
"Extortion?"
"You got nothing on me."
Stilinski considers this. Then grabs Stiles's chair and begins pulling both it and him away from the desk.
"Dad, what are you doing--Dad-"

"Wait, Dad, wait-"
With a last yank, Stiles's fingers disappear from the keyboard.

Boyd and Erica.
Scott sighs, "Yeah well at least he's getting help from Emerson."

"I don't know what happened to that library while I was gone, but I want it cleaned up and--and what the hell is this?"
The Principal lifts up a familiar-looking sword as Stiles pulls Scott away from the door with a grimace.

Waiting for Allison at her locker, Lydia surveys the faces in the hall, trying to pick out the new ones.
