Allison pulls up to a gas station, which is deserted except for a motorcycle. The rider nods to her and drives away. The lights go out and a panicked Allison gets in her car, only to find her keys missing. When she gets out of her car, someone places a bag over her head and takes her away.

"Oh no" Allison groaned. 

"Don't worry, we can stop this" Scott smiled at her before looking at Chris. "You look awfully calm to see your daughter get abducted" Scott said raising an eyebrow. "I know who did this" was all Chris said.

When Allison regains her senses, she sees that both she and her father are tied up and gagged at the Hale House. A deep voice, seemingly coming from nowhere, begins asking questions:

"Ever wonder what happens if a hunter gets bitten?"

"Ever wonder what happens if you get bitten?"

"What do you think your father would do?"

"What do you think he'd have to do?"

"When all it would take to change everything, is one bite."

Chris breaks free and shows her that the voice is coming from a phone held by another hunter, the same man she saw earlier at the gas station.

"Of course" Allison sighed. Chris shrugged, "My dad did the same thing to me".

Chris tells her that he is going to train her. He brings up arrows as a way to let her know that he knows that she shot the hunter they'd sent to deal with Isaac. She protests that they were going to kill him. Chris says those are the kind of hard choices the hunters have to make. He then informs her that the women of the Argent family are the leaders. He then hands her an arrow and tells the hunter to time her escape.

"They are? I thought it was always a patriarchy thing" Laura said. 

"No it's always the women. Starting from the very first hunter in our bloodline" Chris explained

Allison uses the arrow to cut through the ropes binding her to the chair. It takes two and a half hours, which is apparently good as the hunter left to time her says it took him three.

"See you're good at this" Scott said excitedly. Allison nodded with a smile on her face.

Allison leaves in her car and something scaly winds around the hunter's foot and slashes him on the back of the neck. He pulls out a gun, then falls down, seemingly dead. Then there's a shot of the dripping claws of the Lizard Creature.

"Dead with such a shallow cut?" Peter frowns.

 "It's not the cut, it's that liquid that probably done him in. Guess you guys have a new problem in hand now" Talia said with a thoughtful look on her face.

It's climbing day in gym class. Allison and Scott scale the wall together, and he tells her he doesn't have a tail. Whatever attacked her in Isaac's house had a tail. After they talk about her butt, Allison knocks him to the mat and everyone laughs.

"Tell me I don't grow a tail" Scott looked at Talia, a bit horrified. 

Talia laughed and waved her hand, "You don't grow a tail". Scott sighed in relief and then yelped from a pinch on his side,

 "admiring the view huh?" Allison asked with a smirk.

 "Well it is a nice thing to see" Scott said with a smirk.
