The group had decided to turn in for that day, let the Argents grieve over the loss of a loved one. The group returned what they considered to be the next day and restarted their watch. Both Argents were silent, Allison stuck to her father like a small child.

In a flashback to the night of Jackson's first post-bite full moon, Matt is concerned that Jackson is borrowing his camera to make a sex tape.

"Very possible" Stiles snorted trying to lift the mood, but it did nothing.

He also suspects that it might involve Allison. So, after handing the camera over, he returns to his car and triggers an app on his phone that allows him to get a live feed from the camera.

"Technology has really advanced" Peter said in awe.

He witnesses Jackson's transformation into the kanima. Then he sees the creature in his car's side mirror creeping up behind the vehicle. As the kanima reaches him, Matt extends his hand to the window and a clawed hand matches him on the other side of the glass. Matt then shares a vision of the Kanima killing Isaac Lahey's father the night before.

"So the first kill was an accident?" Talia mumbled. "It would seem so" Peter answered, his wolf hearings catching her words.

Stiles and Scott try to convince Sheriff Stilinski that Matt, not Mr. Harris, is the real killer. Stiles speculates that Matt somehow borrowed the teacher's car to lay suspicion on him when his former students turned up dead. The sheriff is skeptical but they manage to get him to sneak back into the Sheriff's Department to review the evidence. At the station, they review security footage from the night Jessica Bartlet was killed. Matt is seen walking down the hall towards her room. He is also seen talking to Scott's mother. Scott calls her and she remembers talking to Matt because he was tracking mud all over the halls.

"He is a sloppy killer" Noah snorted. Claudia shook her head, "only you would judge a killer on his skills". "Not true" Noah said, "Stiles would do it too" he pointed out to a nodding Stiles.

The sheriff says they have footprint evidence at the scene of the trailer murders and a credit card receipt for an oil change the night the mechanic was killed. They can now place Matt at the scene of four murders including the rave. The sheriff asks Scott to call his mom back to come down to the station to give a statement in hopes of getting an arrest warrant for Matt.

"Finally the creep will be behind bars" Scott says to Allison. She hears what he said but does not respond. Scott sighs and rubs her back soothingly.

Stiles heads to the front of the office and finds the officer on duty dead, bloody and slashed. He turns to find Matt pointing the officer's service revolver at his head.

"Well it had to be me" Stiles said with a roll of his eyes.

Derek is floating in a formless white void. Someone is calling his name. He is naked. Covered in sweat, his breath comes in short little gasps.

"Someone looks like he had a nice night" Laura said with a smirk and elbowed her brother, who she was sitting next to again. Derek just growled at her.

The voice says "we don't have much time" then he is assaulted by a low-pitched ear-splitting sound. He awakes on the floor at Hale House with Dr. Deaton kneeling over him. Derek asks about the sound that brought him out of his daze and the doctor produces a sub-sonic dog whistle.

"Dog whistles work on us?" Isaac asked receiving nods from the experienced werewolves.

Derek is weak, nearly falling when he tries to stand. The doctor says this will last for several hours. The Vet assures him that he is still an Alpha just not a particularly competent one.
