"Stiles... got out of Eichen House. And uh- he's back to being Void." Odette said as she sat against the wall across her uncle's cell and him and Derek sighed. "Are you okay though? Considering you were there when it happened?" Argent asked worriedly and she chuckled sadly, "Mentally or Physically?" She asked.

Argent was about say something but the door opened and Parrish walked in, "Remember Odette, this is the only time I'm giving you a pass." He said as she stood up. "Thanks again, Deputy. " She said and he nodded and gave her a small smile. He unlocked the door to Derek's cell then unlocked Argent's, "Follow me." He said.

Derek instantly moved to follow him, while Argent comfortingly wrapped his arm around his niece's shoulders and kissed the top of her head, knowing she's probably going out of her mind worrying about Stiles. Parrish took them to do some paper work but then took them to get their stuff.

"Sorry, but I can't let you walk out with this. It's way above the legal voltage limit." Parrish said, holding up Argent's stun baton, "I only use it for hunting." Argent said Derek gives Argent a hilariously exasperated look at this comment, and Argent can't help but roll his eyes in response.

"Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure you could use it to jump-start a 747." Parrish said and Argent squinted at him, "This property belongs to me, and the charges were dropped. Although, I'm not exactly sure who's responsible for that." Argent said looking over at Derek and Odette.

"I am." Stilinski said walking up to them, "I'll take care of this, Parrish." He said. "Stilinski, I'm not kidding- this thing's a few watts from being a lightsaber." Parrish said leaning over whisper to Stilinski who nodded slightly. "I said I'll take care of it." Stilinski said taking the stun baton.

Stilinski gestured for them to follow him and lead them into his office. "The specialist I saw in LA told me the thing that every doctor says when he's trying to avoid a lawsuit-- "We can't say for sure." And then, I spoke with Melissa." He said then pulled out sole scans, "These are brain scans- my wife's, and Stiles'. I knew they were similar, but those are the same. Exactly the same." He said handing them over.

Odette grabbed them and lined them up making them match up perfectly. "And I'm guessing this isn't possible?" Derek asked and Odette shook her head, "Not at all." She said and Stilinski nodded. "So, the trickster is still playing tricks." Argent said and Derek glanced over at him, "But why this trick?"

"When I was in the Army, an officer told me, "If you want to defeat your enemy, you don't take away their courage- you take away their hope." Stilinski said, "You don't look like a man who gives up hope easily." Argent said and Odette sighed and shook her head.

"After everything that's happened, Stiles might. Something like this could potentially be his final straw. The nogitsune is using this disease a sort of psychological trick, so then this isn't just a fight for his body. It's a fight for his mind." She said and Stilinski nodded, "My thoughts exactly."
