Pack Dynamics 4x01 — “The Dark Moon”

Season Four of Teen Wolf, baby! We’re back, we’re going to Mexico, Derek Hale is missing, and absolutely no one involved in this rescue mission seems interested in asking whether any of this makes sense. (It doesn't matter.)Scott and the pack head south of the border in search of Derek, which means negotiating with a group hunters called the Calaveras, discovering that Kate Argent is somehow alive, and eventually finding Derek in an underground temple. Except he’s approximately sixteen years old now. Sure. Fine. Why not?This episode, we’re talking:Stiles and Lydia traveling all the way to Mexico with $50,000 to rescue Derek Hale, because apparently Stiles simply cannot keep that man’s name out of his mouth.Kira and Malia’s extremely heterosexual nightclub dance, glow-stick nunchucks, and our continued campaign to LET MALIA BE FERAL.Scott actually getting to behave like a competent Alpha: making plans, protecting his friends, and taking every available electrocution so Lydia doesn’t have to.The return of Kate Argent, an impressive amount of retroactive continuity gymnastics, and approximately nine thousand questions required to make any of this plot work.Somewhere inside this extremely messy premiere is a genuinely good scene about how Scott, Stiles, and Lydia each understand Kate through the person she hurt most in their lives. Unfortunately, it is surrounded by a lot of us asking, “Wait. How do they know that?”Welcome to Season Four of Teen Wolf. Apparently we’re doing this.xoxo, FotR
