She-Wolf

Orphaned

"Four Weeks Ago" Kate Argent awoke in the back seat of her car. Noticing static playing from the radio she pushed the knob. A cassette tape ejected from the Kenwood deck. The words "PLAY ME" were hand-written in ink on the label. Kate placed the tape back in the deck and a cultured radio-announcer voice said the following –

"...eventually settling in a small town in Northern California, this family used their wealth to rebuild the community around them while remaining isolated from it. This was sometimes more a choice than a necessity as not all of their children would become werewolves. The ones that did, these born wolves, had to be trained. They needed to learn control. They had a practice for the training of betas, a tradition passed down through generations, it involved the use of a sacred object called 'a triskelion'. Without control, violence – extreme violence, is inevitable."

Weeks later – Kate is covered in blood amid wrecked motorcycles, burning cars, and torn bodies. One of the Beserkers holds a bleeding man aloft while Kate questions him about "who pays the bills" and the "mixtape" she received. Because, while no one seems to know who is pulling the strings, Kate believes the assassins each got a tape too. The man says he did not but says a couple who look like "teenagers" got one. He says they're called "the orphans."

One of the not-so-dead bodies fires a gun into Kate's back. She walks over with shotgun drawn to shoot the man but she loses control, transforms and claws him to death. She then turns on the man being held by the Berserker. He begs for his life but she rips him up too.

Coach tells members of the lacrosse team they cannot enter the locker room after the scrimmage game due to the crime scene inside. He also tells them that they should call the police if they see Garrett and then tell him that he's off the team.

Liam comes around the corner and sees Scott talking to his father. Agent McCall apologizes for not being at the game. He says he promised Mellisa that he would be around so she could take some extra shifts at the hospital. Scott says it's okay because he's "here now."

Parrish walks a handcuffed Violet from the scene. She notices his name and calls him "Jordan Parrish," connecting his last name to one of the targets on the list. He corrects her with an emphasis on his title "Deputy Parish."

Violet eyes Scott on her way past. The Sheriff stops and shows Scott's dad the thermal-cut wire Violet used on her victims. The FBI agent seems to recognize it. Liam tells Scott that Kira took off after learning about the second half of the Dead Pool. Scott understands this is because her mother is on the list. Liam worries that he might be on the, as yet, unknown third part of the list.

Agent McCall confronts Violet saying they've got a file of more than a dozen murders in which the weapon was a thermal-cut wire. She claims she doesn't know anything about it, claiming she just goes to school here. McCall says maybe they should call her parents but then admits he knows she doesn't have parents, "That's why they call you 'the orphans'."

McCall tells the Sheriff they need to find her boyfriend. Sheriff Stilinski asks Coach for their lockers and says he'll need bolt cutters.

On the exam table at the Animal Clinic, the Devenford Prep lacrosse player, Brett Talbot is convulsing and spewing yellow foam from his mouth. 

"What the hell is happening to this kid?" Stiles asks.

"He's been poisoned by rare wolfsbane. I need to make an incision, and you need to hold him as still as possible" Deaton explains.

"Hey Derek? How about a little Werewolf strength?" Stiles says. Selene suddenly gets back into the room and everyone stares at her. She puts away her phone and walks over to Brett.
