Danny completes the restoration of Jackson's full moon video. On the tape Jackson rises up in bed and turns toward the camera his eyes glowing. His body then convulses and the tape skips to a shot of Jackson next to the lens in mid transformation. Danny composes a text to Jackson saying he's finished the video work but hasn't watched the footage. He then places his Tablet into the hatchback of his car.

"Danny is such a good friend" Scott smiled. "Oh yeah? What am I? Chopped liver?" Stiles complains.

Allison drops Lydia off at home and urges her to stay quiet despite Lydia's repeated questions about the night's events. Allison tries to make her understand how much she loves Scott but Lydia says she has not experienced the same type of relationships.

"I guess not" Lydia mumbles fiddling with the key around her neck.

In an industrial area of Beacon Hills, Derek faces off against Jackson kanima. Derek lands some blows but mainly just tries to stay clear of the creatures claws. Chris Argent shows up and fires several bullets into the kanima's chest. It appears to be down but recovers almost instantly and kicks Argent into a concrete bridge support. The kanima then crawls over to Gerard where it appears to pause and simply stare up at the old man. Scott leaps into frame knocking the kanima away.

"Is it just me or is Gerard giving the whole villain vibe there?" Erica asked. Chris shook his head, "Gerard won't do that to human's. He might kill werewolves and stuff but not humans" he said with some confidence.

Scott's search for the creature leads him to a nightclub called Jungle. Stiles catches up and the two discuss why Jackson was paralyzed by the venom test if he is the kanima. Stiles speculates that the venom might not work when he's in kanima form but does work when Jackson is in human form. Stiles spots the kanima crawling into one of the upper floors of Jungle. Scott then spots Danny in line and smells his Armani cologne. He figures out that Danny is the creature's next target.

"You remembered the cologne? My my Mr. McCall hiding something here are we?" Allison teased. Scott flapped his jaws like a fish before he resorted to scowling as the rest laughed.

Scott breaks the doorknob off the back entrance of the club. They quickly realize that everyone in the club is a dude and that Jungle is a gay club. Stiles finds himself surrounded by drag queens as hundreds of young men dance to a pumping rhythm.

"Look at you having fun" Erica jokes. Stiles said nothing but shivered every time a drag queen went close to him, too close for his comfort.

Danny is at the bar looking somewhat dejected. He stares over at a couple of men dancing together. It is the boy Danny took to the dance in Formality. The bartender says Danny is better off without him and suggests he go dance with another boy who is giving Danny the eye.

"Yeah he definitely deserves better than that dude" Stiles agrees. "Oh? Is someone interested?" Erica teased. "Would you stop" Stiles scowled at her.

Stiles tries to order two beers but the bartender looks at their IDs and offers them cokes instead. A guy across the bar pays for Scott's drink and gives him a nod and a smile. Stiles is insanely jealous of this attention. Scott enjoys the flattery. They see Danny dancing and get back to business. Jackson Kanima is hanging upside down over the dance floor.

"If he wasn't as creepy as he looks, I would call him batman right now" Stiles mumbled with a snort.

Lydia is outside in back of her house. She lets her little dog, Prada, out to poop but the dog doesn't come back and she walks further into the yard. We see a shadow on the wall and that weird kid from school that seems to be stalking Lydia comes around the corner holding Prada.
