#Twin 1 threatens Scott's friends and Stiles immediately makes sure he's not seen as a victim

[sparkwhorunswithwolves]

So, how much of Stiles just being mean do you think is a direct result of the werewolves (and hunters to some degree) using their abilities to force him in or out of situations against his explicit will and it being the only way he can fight back?

Re: Plot Holes The things I do for you Disco. So Laura’s death and story in season 1 (I’m having Twin Peaks flashbacks lol). All of this can be found at: transcripts http://transcripts.foreverdreaming.org/viewforum.php?f=137&sid=b1a956839b5916e7cb7432de7e028092 Scripts https://sites.google.com/site/tvwriting/us-drama/show-collections/teen-wolf

So we start in episode 1.01: Stiles: A pre - I - wha - look, I know it’s late, but you gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave 20 minutes ago. Dispatch called. They’re bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even State Police. Scott: For what? Stiles: Two joggers found a body in the woods. Scott: A dead body? Stiles: No, a body of water. Yes, dumb - ass, a dead body. Scott: You mean like murdered? Stiles: Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her 20s. Scott: Hold on, if they found the body, then what are they looking for? Stiles: That’s the best part. They only found half. We’re going. – Stiles: Just hold on, okay? I overheard my dad on the phone. The fiber analysis came back from the lab in L.A. They found animal hairs on the body from the woods! Scott: Stiles, I gotta go. Stiles: Wait, no! Scott! You’re not gonna believe what the animal was! It was a wolf. – Scott: Oh, is this about the body? Did they find out who did it? Stiles: No, they’re still questioning people, even Derek Hale. – Scott: No! Listen, you gotta find Allison. Stiles: She’s fine, all right? I saw her get a ride from the party. She’s - she’s totally fine, all right? Scott: No, I think I know who it is. Stiles: You just let me in. We can try - Scott: It’s Derek. Derek Hale is the werewolf. He’s the one that bit me. He’s the one that killed the girl in the woods. Stiles: Scott - Derek’s the one who drove Allison from the party. – Scott: Who were they? Derek: Hunters. The kind that have been hunting us for centuries. Scott: Us? You mean you! You did this to me! Derek: Is it really so bad, Scott? That you can see better - Hear more clearly, move faster than any human could ever hope? You’ve been given something that most people would kill for. The bite is a gift. [So not much about Laura (also lol Derek not telling Scott “*I* didn’t bite you” immediately)]

Then 1.02: Scott: Curfew because of the body. Stiles: Unbelievable. My dad’s out looking for a rabid animal, while the jerk - off who actually killed the girl is just hangin’ out, doing whatever he wants. Scott: Well, you can’t exactly tell your dad the truth about Derek. – Stiles: What did you find? How did you find it? Where did you find it? And, yes, I’ve had a lot of Adderall, so- Scott: I found something at Derek Hale’s. Stiles: Are you kidding? What? Scott: There’s something buried there - I could smell blood. Stiles: That’s awesome! I mean, that’s terrible. Whose blood? Scott: I don’t know. But when we do, your dad nails Derek for the murder. And then you help me figure out how to play lacrosse without changing. – “Scott covers his mouth while gazing down at the lower half of the body. He slowly pulls the drawer open to where the sheet finally flattens out just above the severed hip.Removing his hand from his mouth, Scott pulls the sheet up to reveal the decayed and rotted feet. Then, unable to stand anymore, the sight or the smell, Scott covers up the body and slides the drawer shut.” – Scott: The scent was the same. Stiles: You sure? Scott: Yes. Stiles: So he did bury the other half of the body on his property? Scott: Which means we have proof he killed the girl. Stiles: I say we use it. Scott: How? Stiles: Tell me something first. Are you doing this because you want to stop Derek, or because you want to play in the game, and he said you couldn’t? Scott: There are bite marks on the legs, Stiles - bite marks. – “Dropping the shovel, Stiles clambers down into the hole. He feels around and finds a dark FABRIC in the dirt. Both of them now digging with their hands they finally uncover– A BLACK BAG, DRAWSTRING tied in tight knots. Stiles digs at the knot with his fingers.” “Both of them claw at the drawstring, almost frantically trying to get the knot to come undone. And then finally it loosens. The black bag flutters open to reveal the body inside–Except it’s not a dead girl. It’s the body of a WOLF. Stiles and Scott both HOLLER, jumping back.” Stiles: What the hell is that? Scott: It’s a wolf. Stiles: Yeah, I can see that. I thought you said you smelled blood, as in human blood. Scott: I told you something was different. Stiles: This doesn’t make sense. Scott: We gotta get out of here. Stiles: Yeah. Okay, help me cover this up. Scott: What’s wrong? Stiles: You see that flower? Scott: What about it? Stiles: I think it’s wolfsbane. – [Every Sterek knows this one :-)] Stiles: Okay, just so you know, I’m not afraid of you. Okay, maybe I am. Doesn’t matter. I just wanna know something. The girl you killed - she was a werewolf. She was a different kind, wasn’t she? I mean, she could turn herself into an actual wolf, and I know Scott can’t do that. Is that why you killed her? Derek: Why are you so worried about me when it’s your friend who’s the problem? When he shifts on the field, what do you think they’re gonna do. Just keep cheering him on? I can’t stop him from playing, but you can. And, trust me - you want to. – Stiles: The, uh, medical examiner looked at the other half of the body we found. Scott: And - Stiles: Well, I’ll keep it simple. Medical examiner determines killer of girl to be animal, not human. Derek’s human, not animal. Derek not killer. Derek let out of jail. Scott: Are you kidding? Stiles: No, and here’s a bigger kick in the ass. My dad I.D.’d the dead girl. Both halves. Her name was Laura Hale. Scott: Hale? Stiles: Derek’s sister.

Then 1.03: Sheriff: Hey, listen, while I’m here, you mind taking a look at those pictures I was telling you about? Sacramento still can’t determine an animal. Deaton: I’m not exactly an expert. This is the guy who was attacked in the bus? Sheriff: Yeah. And we found wolf hairs on Laura Hale’s body. Scott: A wolf? I mean, I think I read somewhere that wolves haven’t been in California for, like, 60 years. Deaton: True enough, but wolves are highly migratory. They could have wandered in from another state driven by impulse or strong enough memory. Scott: Wolves have memories? Deaton: Longer - term memories, yes. Associated with a primal drive. See this one here? Sheriff: Yeah. Deaton: Those are claw marks. A wolf would have gone for the throat or the spinal cord with its teeth. Sheriff: So what do you think, it’s a mountain lion? Deaton: I don’t know. A wolf could chase down its prey, hobbling it by tearing at the ankles. And then the throat. – [not necessarily about Laura, but part of a patern with Scott lol] Stiles: Did it work? Did you remember? Scott: Yeah, I was there last night. And the blood - a lot of it was mine. Stiles: So you did attack him? Scott: No. I saw glowing eyes in the bus, but they weren’t mine. It was Derek. Stiles: What about the driver? Scott: I think I was actually trying to protect him. Stiles: Wait, why would Derek help you remember that he attacked the driver? Scott: That’s what I don’t get. – “WE PULL BACK, moving from the bank of monitors, past the IV tree to GARY MEYERS lying in his hospital bed. His breathing is shallow and even in this dim light, he doesn’t look good. CAMERA CONTINUES MOVING around the bed to REVEAL someone standing in the shadows over the injured man. The Figure steps forward and we see it’s–Derek. He makes no threatening motions. Rather, he just stares down at the man until Meyer’s eyelids flutter. They open, sensing the presence in the room. He looks around until he sees Derek over him. He blinks to focus.” Derek: Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Look at me. What do you remember? Bus driver: Hale. Derek: How do you know my name? Bus driver: I’m sorry. Derek: How do you know me? Bus driver: I’m sorry. – Scott: Derek! I know you’re here! I know what you did! Derek: I didn’t do anything. Scott: You killed him! Derek: He died. Scott: Like your sister died? Derek: My sister was missing. I came here looking for her. Scott: You found her. Derek: I found her in pieces, being used as bait to catch me. Scott: I think you killed them both. I’m gonna tell everyone, starting with the sheriff. – Derek: I didn’t kill him. Neither of us did. It’s not your fault, and it’s not mine. Scott: This? This is all your fault! You ruined my life! Derek: No, I didn’t. Scott: You’re the one who bit me. Derek: No, I’m not. Scott: What? Derek: I’m not the one that bit you. Scott: There’s another. Derek: It’s called an Alpha. It’s the most dangerous of our kind. You and I, we’re betas. This thing is more powerful, more animal than either of us. My sister came here looking for him. Now I’m trying to find him. But I don’t think I can do it without you. Scott: Why me? Derek: Because he’s the one that bit you. You’re part of his pack. It’s you, Scott. You’re the one he wants.

1.04: Stiles: If Derek isn’t the Alpha, if he’s not the one who bit you, then who did? Scott: I don’t know. Stiles: Did the Alpha kill the bus driver? Scott: I don’t know. – “Derek ushers Scott into the dark hospital room, quietly closing the door behind them. He pulls the curtain back from the window to let in the MOONLIGHT which reveals–A MAN IN A WHEELCHAIR sitting nearby. Only one side of his body can be seen, a blank, catatonic expression on his face.” Scott: Who is he? Derek: My uncle. Peter Hale. Scott: Is he - like you, a werewolf? Derek: He was. Now he’s barely even human. Six years ago, my sister and I were at school, and our house caught fire. 11 people were trapped inside. He was the only survivor. Scott: So - What makes you so sure that they set the fire? Derek: ‘Cause they’re the only ones that knew about us. Scott: Well, then - They had a reason. Derek: Like what? You tell me what justifies this. They say they’ll only kill an adult, and only with absolute proof, but there were people in my family that were perfectly ordinary in that fire. This is what they do. And it’s what Allison will do “Derek pauses, sensing something. He takes a step back as the door opens, a NIGHT NURSE, named JENNIFER, looking in.” Nurse: What are you doing? How did you get in here? Derek: We were just leaving.

1.05: Derek: Starting to get it? Scott: Uh, I get that he’s killing people, but I don’t get why. I mean, this isn’t standard practice, right? We don’t go out in the middle of the night murdering everyone, do we? Derek: No. We’re predators. We don’t have to be killers. Scott: Then why is he a killer? Derek: That’s what we’re gonna find out. “They turn for the opposite edge of the roof while below them is something they would never notice: an ODD PATTERN carved into the gravel of the rooftop. A SPIRAL” – Scott: You know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school. And you don’t have to kill anyone to do it! Why can’t you just find him yourself? Why can’t you just sniff him out when he’s a human? Derek: Because his human scent could be entirely different. It has to be you. You have a connection with him, a link that you can’t understand. If I can teach you to control your abilities, you can find him. Scott: So if I help you - you can stop him? Derek: Not alone. We’re stronger in numbers. A pack makes the individual more powerful. – Kate: Really? A dog joke? We’re going there, and that’s the best you got? If you wanna provoke him, say something like, “Too bad your sister 'bit it’ before she had her first litter.” Too bad she howled like a bitch when we cut her in half – Kate: 900,000 volts. You never were good with electricity, were you? Or fire. Which is why I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. And, well, maybe we can help each other out. Yes, your sister was severed into pieces and used as bait to try to catch you. Unpleasant, and frankly, a little too Texas chainsaw massacre for my taste, but quite true. Now, here’s the part that might really kick you in your new balls - We didn’t kill her. You think I’m lying? Derek: Wouldn’t be the first time. Kate: Tsk, sweetie - Well - Why don’t you just listen to my heart and tell me if I am. Okay? We - didn’t - kill - your - sister. Do you hear that? There’s no blips or upticks. Just the steady beat of the cold, hard truth. Found bite marks on your sister’s body, Derek. What do you think did that? A mountain lion? Why aren’t we helping each other out? You might as well admit what you’ve been guessing all along, which is - The Alpha killed your sister. And all you have to do is tell us who he is, and we’ll take care of it for you. Problem solved, everybody goes home happy. Unless - You don’t know who he is either. Wow. Guess who just became totally useless? – Sheriff: Listen, I hate to bother you, but, uh, I’m having a bitch of a time getting a consensus on what this is we’re dealing with. Deaton: I’m really flattered you’ve come to me for help, but, like I said before, I’m no expert. Sheriff: But you were pretty certain the other day about our attacker being a mountain lion. Deaton: That’s right. Sheriff: I wanna show you something. We got a little lucky here. Uh, the video store didn’t have any cameras, but a security camera that was watching another parking lot happened to grab a few frames. Take a look at our mountain lion. Here’s another. Deaton: It’s interesting. Sheriff: Actually, uh, this is the interesting one. Deaton: I see what you mean. “He slowly lifts the picture up to bring it closer to his eyes. The photo shows the dark shape. Except it’s now running on two legs instead of four.” Sheriff: I’ve never seen a mountain lion do that. Deaton: Can’t say I have either. You’ve got a problem here. Sheriff: My first instinct was it was a bear, but bears don’t walk on two legs. “A DOG IN THE BACK begins to BAY. Deaton looks back. A very different quality about him now. Nervous. He won’t look Stilinski in the eye.” Deaton: No, they drop to all fours. Look, like I said, you really need an expert here. Sheriff: Yeah, yeah, but - Could this still be a mountain lion? Deaton: I’m sorry. I’ve got a sick Doberman that needs my attention. Sheriff: No other ideas? Deaton: I’m sorry. Really, I wish I could help you, but I’ve got a sick - Sheriff: Yeah. Dog. I heard you. Thanks for humoring me again.

1.06: “Something presses against the steamed window causing Scott to flinch back. It’s a clawed fingertip. It begins to move, drawing something in the moisture.Scott watches, staring through the window as the hand pulls back into the darkness. A moment later the Alpha is gone, having left a simple yet mysterious sign in the condensation.Drawn into the steamed glass is a perfect SPIRAL…” – Derek: So what happened? Did he talk to you? Scott: Yeah. We had a nice conversation about the weather. No, he didn’t talk. Derek: Well, did you get anything off of him? An impression. Scott: What do you mean? Derek: Remember your other senses are heightened. Communication doesn’t have to be spoken. What kind of feeling did you get from him? Scott: Anger. Derek: Focused on you? Scott: No, not - not me. But it was definitely anger. I could feel it. Especially when he drew the spiral. Derek: Wait, the what? What’d you just say? Scott: He drew this spiral on the window of my car, in the condensation, you know? What? You have this look like you know what it means. Derek: No, it’s - it’s nothing. Scott: Wait - wait - wait - wait a second. You can’t do that. You can’t ask me to trust you and then just keep things to yourself. Derek: Doesn’t mean anything. Scott: You buried your sister under a spiral. What does it mean? Derek: You don’t wanna know. – Derek: I need your help. If you can hear me, I need you to give me a sign. Blink. Raise a finger. Anything. Just - Just something to point me in the right direction, okay? Someone killed Laura. Your niece. Laura? Whoever he is, he’s an Alpha now. But he’s one without a pack. Which means he’s not as strong. I can take him. But I have to find him first. Look, if you know something, just give me a sign. Is it one of us? Someone else make it out of the fire? Just give me anything. Blink. Raise a finger. Anything. Say something! Nurse: Let him go. You think after six years of this, yelling at him is going to get a response? Derek: Got a better method? Nurse: Patience. He’ll respond if you give him the time. Derek: I don’t have any more time. “As Jennifer turns to watch him go, as his shoes fall lightly on the tiled floor of the hospital corridor, neither of them look back to notice Peter slowly and shakily raising an index finger off the chair…” – “Derek quickly heads to his Camaro in the parking lot of the hospital. Unlocking it, he reaches for the door when he notices A PIECE OF PAPER slipped under the windshield wiper.He pulls it out, slowly unfolding it, then reading with interest. He looks up, turning back to the hospital as if trying to find someone watching him. Then crumpling the paper in his hand, he moves quickly, faster than ever.A second later, his car ROARS out of the lot and into the street.” – Deaton: Scott, you’re late again. I hope this isn’t getting to be a habit. Can I help you? Derek: Hope so. Want to know about the animal you found with the spiral on its side? Deaton: Excuse me? What animal? Derek: Three months ago. The deer. You remember this? “He unfolds the piece of paper left on his windshield. It’s a report and photograph of a dead deer with A SPIRAL carved into its side.” Deaton: Oh, yes. It’s just a deer. And I didn’t find it. They called me because they wanted to know if I’d ever seen anything like it. Derek: What’d you tell 'em? Deaton: I told them no. Derek: Did you hear that? Deaton: Hear what? Derek: The sound of your heartbeat rising. Deaton: Excuse me? Derek: It’s the sound of you lying. – Deaton: Oh, God. Derek: Are you protecting someone? Deaton: All right. The key to the drug locker is in my pocket. Derek: I don’t want drugs. I want to know why you’re lying. Deaton: I don’t know what you’re talking about. What are you doing to me? What do you want? Derek: I want to know who you are or who you’re protecting. – Derek: Look, when he’s conscious, he can keep himself from healing, but unconscious, he can’t. Scott: Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about? Derek: You want to know what the spiral means, Scott? It’s our sign for a vendetta, for revenge. It means he won’t stop killing until he’s satisfied. Scott: You think he’s the Alpha? Derek: We’re about to find out.

1.07: Stiles: It’s your boss. Scott: What? Stiles: Deaton, the alpha? Your boss. Scott: No. Stiles: Yes, murdering psycho werewolf. Scott: That can’t be. Stiles: Oh come on. He disappears, and that thing shows up ten seconds later to toss Derek 20 feet through the air? That’s not convenient timing? Scott: It’s not him. Stiles: He killed Derek. Scott: No, Derek’s not dead. He can’t be dead. Stiles: Blood spurted out of his mouth, okay? That doesn’t exactly qualify as a minor injury. He’s dead, and we’re next. [Bottle episode, not much else beside Scott accusing Derek again]

1.08: [Scott acts like a dick, Kate gets suspicious about there being a 3rd werewolf, nothing about the alpha or Laura, skip]

1.09: “Harris picks up his notebook from his desk, about to put it in his briefcase, when something catches his eye–A CRINKLED PIECE OF PAPER. He gazes at it, head tilting in confusion. Written on the paper are names and addresses. The first one is David M. Harris, name and address crossed off. The second is Lionel B. Harris. Also crossed off.Grant S. Harris, Thomas M. Harris, and on and on until down at the bottom his eyes pause on a name that isn’t crossed off: Adrian R. Harris.” Harris: Please don’t kill me. Peter: Do you know who wrote that list? Harris: Laura - Laura Hale. Peter: Do you know why she was looking for you? I know why. Turn around, Adrian. Turn around and I’ll show you. Turn around! Harris: No. Please. Peter: Look at me. Look at what you’ve done! Derek: Get down! – Stiles: All right. How did you find him? Scott: Can you try to trust us for at least half a second? Stiles: Yeah, both of us. Or just him. I’ll be back here. Derek: Look the last time I talked to my sister, she was close to figuring something out. She found two things. The first was a guy named Harris. Stiles: Our chemistry teacher? Scott: Why him? Derek: I don’t know yet. Scott: What’s the second? Derek: Some kind of symbol. What? You know what this is? Scott: I’ve seen it on a necklace. Allison’s necklace. – Stiles: Yeah, I said I can’t find her. Derek: Look, ask for Jennifer. She’s been looking after my uncle. Stiles: Yeah, well, he’s not here either. Derek: What? Stiles: He’s not here. He’s gone, Derek. Derek: Stiles, get out of there right now - it’s him! He’s the Alpha! Get out! Peter: You must be Stiles. – Peter: You think I killed Laura on purpose? One of my own family? My mind, my personality were literally burned out of me. I was being driven by pure instinct. Derek: You want forgiveness? Peter: I want understanding. Do you have any idea - What it was like for me during those years? Slowly healing, cell by cell. Even more slowly coming back to consciousness. Yes, becoming an Alpha, taking that from Laura pushed me over a plateau in the healing process. I can’t help that. I tried to tell you what was happening. I tried to warn you. – Sheriff: So you don’t know her name or where she was from? Harris: No! Which is exactly what Laura Hale asked. I’ll point you in the same direction that I pointed her. Sheriff: What is this? Harris: The necklace the girl was wearing. That’s the symbol on it. I asked her about it. She said it was a family thing. You find the girl wearing that necklace, she’s your arsonist.

1.10: Scott: You’re on his side? Are you forgetting the part where he killed your sister? Derek: It was a mistake. Scott: What? Derek: It happens. Peter: Scott - I think you’re getting the wrong impression of us. We really just want to help you reach your full potential. Scott: By killing my friends. Peter: Sometimes the people closest to you - can be the ones holding you back the most. Scott: If they’re holding me back from becoming a psychotic nut job like you, I’m okay with that. Peter: Maybe - you could try and see things - from my perspective. “His hand moves like a cobra striking, latching onto Scott. Fingernails rapidly extending to CLAWS, they sink right into the back of the boy’s neck. For a brief second, Scott’s eyes FLASH YELLOW. Then Peter yanks his hand back, letting him tumble to the floor. Blinking furiously, strange IMAGES FLASH into Scott’s head– A dark room fills with black smoke, men and women trying to cover their mouths, coughing and screaming as–Reddick and Unger, visible through a dirty basement window, toss liquid from five gallon jugs onto the house. They douse the windows, their images BLURRING as–Hands desperately grab for a door, trying to push it open while black, roiling smoke covers everything– Nurses gently lay Peter back onto a hospital bed. One undamaged eye blinks out from a face covered in white gauze bandages. Light seeps over his face, the brilliant white glow from a FULL MOON. A now un-bandaged Peter sits up in bed, the moon almost seeming to pull at him, drawing him up to his feet. At the door stands his nurse, Jennifer, watching in astonishment as– Someone steps through the woods, boots crushing leaves underneath her. LAURA HALE looks through the shadows to see– A STRANGE FIGURE in a hospital robe standing between the trees. He turns around to reveal one half of his face is covered in horrible burns. She steps toward him, reaching for him while he gazes back at her almost in a trance. And then he opens his mouth revealing razor-sharp FANGS as–” – Sheriff: Stiles, there’s just so many questions. Stiles: Like what? Sheriff: Like if Derek - wanted to kill everyone involved with the fire. Then why start with his sister? I mean, she had nothing to do with it. Why make it look like some kind of animal did it? When that cougar ended up in the parking lot - I checked with animal control. You know the instances of wild animal reports were up 70% over the past few months? It’s like they’re just going crazy, running out of the woods. I don’t know.

1.11: Kate: Come on, Derek. He killed your sister. Now - either you’re not telling me because, well, you want to kill him yourself, or for some reason - You’re protecting him. Look at that sour face. I bet you always used to get people coming up to you saying, “Smile, Derek.” “Why don’t you smile more?” Don’t you just wanna - kick those people in the face? Derek: I can think of one. Kate: Promise? 'cause if I thought you’d be that much fun - I’d let you go. All right, let’s see. Nothing, nothing, nothing. God, I hate this detective crap. – Kate: Unfortunately, Derek, if you’re not gonna talk - I’m just gonna have to kill you. So say hi to your sister for me. You did tell her about me, didn’t you? The truth about the fire? Or did you? Did you tell anybody? Oh, sweetie - That’s just a lot of guilt to keep buried. It’s not all your fault. You got tricked by a pretty face. It happens! Handsome young werewolf mistakenly falls in love with a super - hot girl who comes from a family that kills the werewolves. Is that ironic? Is it - ironic - That you’re inadvertently helping me track down the rest of the pack - again? Or just a little bit of history repeating. History repeating. It’s not Jackson, is it? Oh, no, no, no, he’s got a little scratch on the back of his neck, but - he’s not in love with Allison. Not like Scott.

1.12: Scott: This is what brought your sister back to beacon hills, right? Derek: Where did you get that? Scott: My boss told me three months ago someone came into the clinic asking for a copy of this picture. Do you wanna know who it was? Peter’s nurse. They brought your sister here so that Peter could kill her and become the Alpha, and that’s why you’re going to help me. Just say you’ll help me, and I’ll help you unlock your other - And there you have it! I found *nothing* that said the hunters actually cut Laura in half, Kate only taunts Derek but immediately admits it. Maybe there’s something in season 2 BUT I’M NOT DOING SEASON 2! At least not today!

DW: You’re a hero, anon! 

So we’re back where we started, right? With Derek knowing from the start that the alpha killed Laura? And somehow being surprised by it at the end, lol!
