In Teen Wolf 3×22, “De-Void,” the pack is still trying to keep Stiles alive while the Oni keep dropping in like it’s a scheduled appointment. Sheriff Stilinski shows up at the loft hoping to save his son, and Void Stiles responds by calmly pressing every single Dad Trauma button he can reach.
Meanwhile, Noshiko confirms what we’ve all been dreading: the Nogitsune isn’t just haunting Stiles — it’s multiplying the problem. Void Stiles pulls the last tail and unleashes a swarm of flies that spreads across Beacon Hills, possessing basically anyone who stands still for too long.
Isaac wakes up and chooses violence, Derek gets infected through an open wound (no thank you), and the situation devolves into “who is possessed right now” chaos at both the Argents’ apartment and the school. Allison and Kira go full weapons-mode, because girls’ night in Beacon Hills is always a combat scenario.
Back at the McCall house, Deaton breaks out the kanima venom like it’s just another Tuesday, and Scott and Lydia go into Stiles’s mind to find the real him — where Stiles is playing Go with the Nogitsune on the Nemeton. Scott howls, Stiles looks up, and the board flips.
For a second, it works.
And then Teen Wolf reminds us it’s Teen Wolf: Stiles is back, but the Nogitsune slips out anyway and takes Lydia with it.
If the evil can leave, what else can it take?

Teen Wolf said “What if we combined wartime tragedy, supernatural lore, AND your unprocessed emotions?” and 3x21, "The Fox and the Wolf" was born.
This episode is a two-lane highway — half of it is Void!Stiles wreaking absolute havoc in Beacon Hills, and the other half is a 1943 flashback that turns the entire Nogitsune story into a tragic origin romance you absolutely were not emotionally prepared for (we weren't).
In 1943 we meet young Noshiko (played by Arden Cho, living her best multi-role life) and Corporal Rhys, the painfully adorable, utterly doomed soldier she’s secretly seeing.
Back in 2014, Kira learns her mother is 900 years old and also the original source of the Nogitsune (ouch). Meanwhile Void!Stiles is at peak chaos gremlin, politely bapping books off shelves like a feral library cat.
And just for fun, Teen Wolf drops a fandom bomb for the ages: Stiles has revised his supernatural metaphor chess set… and now Derek is the King. Are we not supposed to ship them?
We really are in the endgame now.

⚠️ Big content warning: this episode deals with suicide, abusive institutional mental health care, dubious sexual consent, and violence. Please take care of yourself.
Stiles checks himself into Eichen House after seeing an MRI that matches his mom’s… and absolutely no one (including us) thinks this is a good idea.
While he’s trying to survive the world’s worst psych ward — complete with Oliver, Morrell, Brunski, a broken pay phone, a hidden corpse, and one very determined Nogitsune — the rest of the pack is out hunting the missing Shugendō scroll.
Scott, Kira, Allison and Isaac end up in a full-on armored-car brawl with Kincaid, Chris and Derek are still locked up together (#EnemiesToLovers energy thriving), and Deaton is once again allergic to offering clear answers.
Inside Eichen House, Stiles and Malia break into the basement, uncover secrets behind the walls, and run straight into Oliver’s trepanation meltdown while a demon whispers riddles over Stiles’ shoulder.
This episode is chaotic, heavy, and unsettling from every angle — and our boy Stiles is at the center of all of it.

This week, we hit Glee’s big reset button as the show abandons Lima for New York — and immediately forgets how the big city works. In 5x14, "New New York," Rachel Berry gets chauffeured through Manhattan like she’s allergic to the subway, Kurt and Blaine enters their domestic sitcom era (complete with cursed pajamas and a SodaStream), and Artie learns that accessibility in NYC is a myth.
This episode we break down:
We also talk the Klaine divorce era, Darren and Adam Lambert’s glitter-rock detour, and why every Glee character should be sentenced to “straight to jail” for crimes against New York.
So join us for bedbugs, bad geography, and Blaine’s unholy Gelmet—because if Glee can survive this New York transition, so can we (do we survive? so they? we find out).

This week on Teen Wolf, Dr. Deaton is in fact the world's only veterinarian, Derek and Chris accidentally become besties, and everyone else is having an absolutely terrible time.
In 3×19, "Letharia Vulpina," Stiles is missing (again) and we see some wonderful familiar faces. Fall sports are back at Beacon Hills and everyone's running cross country. Uncle Peter is back and he hits on Natalie. Jared-the-almost-bus-vomiter is back, except this time he has a Suspicious Package.
(No, seriously. It might explode.)
In other news, Allison and Lydia confront Peter for help and they end up with an enormous secret that Talia took to her grave. Derek and Chris are arrested together (#EnemiesToLovers) and end up in an explosion. Kira can catch a literal live wire in her hands, Isaac gets super burned, and the Die On Teen Wolf contest winner makes her debut.
Mrs. Yukimura breaks a tail, Stiles stabs Scott with a sword, and Deaton injects Stiles with the wolf lichen he stole from the Yakuza.
A totally normal day here on Teen Wolf, like you do. Next week: somehow, it gets worse.

"Fandom is a participatory event. In one way or the other."
Welcome back to Fandom on the Rocks, where there’s never a plan — only chaos, retcons, and a lot of feelings about 9-1-1.
In this 9-1-1 bonus episode, we dive headfirst into Season 9, the emotional hangover of losing Bobby Nash, and yeah, that was a whale swallowing a billionaire kayaker. From the four-part fever dream of a season opener to Athena’s latest flashback, Emily and Alison pick apart every questionable creative choice, all while mourning the death of stakes and the unfortunate rise of beige set design.
We also talk about what’s happening outside the show: from fans needing to be right, the algorithm turning us into engagement machines, and how fandom only survives if everyone brings something to the potluck — a fic, a gif, or just a little enthusiasm.
Come for the space rant, stay for the fandom therapy — and remember: if you reach the end of a fic, you leave kudos.

Well. Stiles is having quite the bad day, isn't he?
In 3×18, "Riddled," Stiles goes missing and everyone searches for him. Scott, Isaac, Lydia, and Aiden all end up in his bedroom, investigating the murder board. The Sheriff bundles Scott and Isaac off to the station while Lydia insists on staying—the red strings have something to tell her. The APB turns up Stiles' jeep at the hospital, which Melissa proceeds to search from tip to tail.
Meanwhile, Stiles is stuck in a literal bear trap in some sort of dark, industrial basement, with a guy in a bomber jacket, heavily bandaged hands, and a mouth full of riddles around sharp, metal teeth.
Derek and Scott talk about chemosignals, Lydia hears an MRI machine in her mind, and, in the end, Stiles ends up in a coyote den.
If everyone has it, do you need to lose it?

You know what Teen Wolf needs more of? Lore.
In 3×17, "Silverfinger," we flash back in time to Chris Argent's first real gun deal, learning he's had more experience with the Oni than anyone expected. The Argent side of the McCall pack look to find an old contact named Katashi, who may have Very Important Lore And Information. In return, Chris plans to give him an old French rifle… which turns out to be a weapon used to murder a werewolf (huh, I wonder if that'll come back later).
Meanwhile, the McCall side of the McCall pack is trying to protect Scott from getting attacked by the Oni, and it's going swimmingly. Stiles is exhibiting all kinds of anxiety-inducing behavior, startlingly similar to a list of symptoms exhibited by his now-dead mother.
Agent McCall threatens the Sheriff and ends up with a gnarly shoulder wound (unrelated), Stiles checks himself into the hospital and ends up calling Melissa "mom" (unrelated), and, when approached by the Oni, Stiles seems to be the only one who can stop it before it draws the kanji on his head.
Weird. Probably nothing.

The end of an era—or at least it should have been. In Glee 5×13, “New Directions,” the Glee Club is officially over, Sue has won, and McKinley’s choir room gets packed up for good this time. But instead of a graceful farewell to the kids we know and love, we get an episode written like a series finale… even though the show still had another season and a half to go. Oh, Glee.
Join us (and we mean all of us) as we unpack the chaos: Holly Holiday roller-skating the Animal Husbandry Club into a bubble party, Tina incurring yet another head injury, Quinn and Puck getting back together for the thrill of it all, and Brittany gifting Santana “the lesbian of flowers." Meanwhile, Rachel and Santana feud, make up, and feud again—all while the writers bend over backwards to absolve Rachel of five seasons’ worth of sins. Not in our house.
We talk “Don’t Stop Believin’” attempt number 47, the farewell montage that really should have ended the series, and Sue’s shockingly heartfelt declaration of love (respect? enemies to lovers endgame??) for Will Schuester. It’s messy, sentimental, and pure Glee.
Maybe the episode wasn’t a delight—but we were. But we're biased.

Mostly naked Halloween parties? Must be Beacon Hills.
In 3×16, “Illuminated,” the power’s out, but the drama is very much on. Special Agent Douchebag (McCall) drags our heroes in for way too many questions, Stiles finds a mysterious extra key, and Kira is running an evidence-lockup heist for her phone.
Across town, Isaac gets attacked by scary shadow monsters, Chris Argent stays frustratingly tight-lipped, and Derek disappears from his loft for “unknown reasons” (citation: Teen Wolf Wiki). But let’s be honest: what this episode is really remembered for is the glowing, neon-soaked blacklight party—conveniently relocated to Derek’s loft thanks to the magic of plot. While the pack gets hunted by faceless smoke monsters, we’re treated to a technicolor fever dream of body paint, flashing lights, and one of the best versions of the Teen Wolf theme song ever (shout-out to The Bloody Beetroots).
A rough, cold night for everyone.

Don't get zapped!
In 3×15, "Galvanize," we meet child murderer William Barrow and, somehow, that's not the most disturbing thing about him. After escaping hospital custody via belly-full-of-flies (don't ask), he ends up on a greatest-hits-tour of Beacon Hills, ending up—where else?—but Beacon Hills High School.
Elsewhere, Scott and Stiles decide to make Coach's life a little more interesting during Mischief Night via office dissolution and Allison and Isaac maybe, kinda, sorta let loose a little of their romantic tension. The twins are back and want to join Scott's pack, and no one's sure if it's a good idea. Scott comes to Kira's house for dinner, Mr. Yukimura suggests Kira could date the coyote (we're in favor! Malira 4ever!), and Lydia keeps hearing flies.
This episode offers lots of good advice like: don't eat a whole chunk of wasabi at once; don't get kidnapped by a child murderer; and if you need to scream, let it out.

So, wait—this isn't the National Geographic channel?
In 3×14, "More Bad Than Good," the gang goes coyote hunting! Well, more accurately, they go coyote tracking, before Malia's father accidentally traps a kid (or his coyote daughter) in a bear trap.
(Spoiler alert: someone gets caught in a bear trap.)
Allison and Stiles are still very much suffering from the great heart darkness, while Scott seems to have mostly gotten over his. Derek gets rescued by a very helpful ally, but Peter may not get to come along. Get ready for silly, dog-related shenanigans, Kira being unbelievably cute, and some very excellent Stydia and Allisaac moments.
Time to add a new face to the pack!

So, who's ready to talk about The Darkness Around Our Hearts?
What—you neither?
In 3×13 “Anchors,” Stiles is having dreams about Lydia and nightmares about doors, only to wake up and find he can't exactly read. Scott's attempting to transform at random, his shadow giving away his superpower, eyes flashing red, and he's feeling completely out of control.
(That is, except with the case of his best bud and roomie for life, Isaac—with whom he, uh—lets out a little Allison-related aggression.)
Allison's being plagued with memories of her Aunt Kate, who tries at one point to crawl out of a morgue drawer. Her steady bowman's hands can't hold a paintbrush or, it turns out, a bow, resulting in a near death experience for Miss Lydia Martin.
But yeah, they're fine. Totally fine.
We're introduced to an adorkable new love interest who's just as smiley about death as she is about everything else, including her new history teacher of a father. The sheriff's got a murder board (like father, like son), Special Agent Asshole is back, and Scott and Stiles go back into the woods to try and find a dead body. Again.
Oh, and Peter and Derek are tied to a chain link fence. For very important, plot-related reasons.
What will they think of next?

What happens to werewolves on the lunar eclipse? I hope it makes us stronger.
In 3×12, "Lunar Eclipse," Scott, Stiles, and Allison finally discover the location of the Nemeton, which definitely doesn't want to be found. Stiles and Allison, along with Isaac, find and rescue the parents in the Nemeton's root cellar, making the surrogate sacrifice worth it. Jennifer fights off against the Alphas, killing Kali and wounding the twins, making off in the night after Deucalion.
Will Derek and Scott help Jennifer with her ultimate quest for revenge? Does Scott actually become a True Alpha? Does Peter ever get past screaming very emotional lines directly into the camera?
Find out this week on the season 3A finale of Pack Dynamics.

In 3×11, "Alpha Pact," our characters must make some incredibly difficult choices to secure the safety of the ones they love. Scott is working with Deucalion to find his mother who has been kidnapped by Jennifer as a Guardian sacrifice, officially siding with the villain. Chris gives himself over to the Darach as the third and final Guardian sacrifice (in front of Allison and Isaac, no less!) to attempt to save Melissa and the Sheriff.
Morrell reveals some interesting, murder-y information about Deucalion and he is not pleased, obviously. Peter politely walks Derek to the emotional edge and Derek officially sacrifices his Alpha Spark to save his sister Cora. Oh, Derek.
However, all of this pales in comparison to the ritual in which Scott, Stiles, and Allison allow themselves to become surrogate sacrifices to save their parents. Come on, there's literally no other answer? Permanent darkness around your heart? Turning Beacon Hills back into a beacon for supernatural creepy crawlies? No one thought of anything better?
Also, this is the episode with the elevator scene. So, praise be.

Welcome back, Gleeks. You've made it to Part 2 of our look back at the 5x12, "100" - the 100th episode of Glee. We pick up right where we left off — the New Directions are still on life support, the Diva-Off is allegedly still a thing, and Rachel is still allergic to lasting character development.
💥 Part 2 Plot? Yeah, sure:
Mercedes finally tells Rachel that she’s the voice in her head that whispers doubt. Rachel responds with a line that’s basically “that sucks, I’m famous.” Classic Rachel Berry.
We get a “Defying Gravity” reprise that sparks no joy from us, a voting scene that makes no sense, and an immediate group decision to ignore the vote altogether. Classic Choir Room.
Coach Sue reveals Mr. Schue spent $2 million on nonsense like Katy Perry jungle sets and costumes, so the club is dead and in debt. Classic Mr. Schue.
April and Holly attempt a last-minute Glee Club rescue powered by vibes, fraud, and whatever’s in April’s bedazzled flask. Classic, April Rhodes.
But amidst the chaos of the 100th episode, one thing is certain: the Unholy Trinity are still perfect.

Welcome back to Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, where nothing good ever happens—ever.
In 3×10, "The Overlooked," the gang is trapped in the hospital between a rock and a hard place. Cora is very sick and Derek and Peter need Jennifer's help to cure her. But Jennifer won't help unless the werewolves protect her from the Alphas, who have finally come calling. We finally learn about Jennifer Blake's backstory—her history with Kali of the Alpha Pack, her past as an Emissary, and the sacrifices she's made to seek her revenge.
Unfortunately, we end the episode on Jennifer's next pick for a sacrifice and the decisions the pack will make to ensure they get home safely.

Buckle up, Gleeks—it’s the 100th episode, which means Glee is throwing everything at the wall to see what sings. Sticks! To see what sticks. This is a no-pun zone (allegedly). We’ve got a chaotic double-feature recap for you because everyone showed up for this one and we talked too long, so you’re getting Part 1 and Part 2. The algorithm says no one wants 2.5-hour episodes 🤷♀️.
In Part 1 of this very special (read: unhinged) 100th episode, New Directions is being shut down for real this time (no, seriously—for real), and suddenly everyone who graduated three years ago but never emotionally left is back in the choir room. Quinn’s here, Puck’s lurking, Mercedes is glowing, and Santana is serving full sass-per-minute per SAG-AFTRA guidelines.
💥 Plot? Technically, yes:
Sue’s destroying the glee club because she hates joy. Or music. Or teenagers. It’s unclear.
Will is spiraling but trying to disguise it as leadership.
Everyone’s singing songs we’ve already heard, now with 50% more nostalgia filters and wistful glances. (Spoiler: the OG versions were better.)
Rachel wants to rewrite history (again), Mercedes isn’t having it (again), and a sing-off happens that is somehow both unnecessary and essential to our healing.
Puck and Quinn have tension—the kind that says “we’ve made questionable choices before and might again”—and everyone agrees to just look the other way.
🎭 In short: Everyone is reflecting on how far they’ve come by pretending they never left. It’s self-indulgent, over-the-top, and completely on brand.
The glee club is dying but not quietly. And neither are we.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we just keep talking.

You didn't think werewolves were still the only supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills, did you?
In 3×09, "The Girl Who Knew Too Much," Allison and Isaac suspect Chris of committing the human sacrifices after finding an incredibly detailed map in his office. Scott and Stiles decide Lydia's newly hidden talent of… hearing things she doesn't understand and stumbling across dead bodies… will be helpful in infiltrating the Alpha Pack. Oh, and the fact that she's romantically entangled with one of them. That helps.
Unfortunately for Lydia, she makes a discovery that puts her (and Sheriff Stilinski) in mortal peril. Does Lydia's propensity for screaming mean anything? Does the Sheriff really make the perfect sacrifice? Is he ready to find out the truth about what really slinks around his town at night?
All we ever do is find the bodies.

In the time-honored tradition of not-telling-enough-story-per-season, it's time for a flashback episode!
In 3×08, "Visionary," we get the origin stories of both Derek Hale and Alpha Deucalion from two of the series' most unreliable narrators—Peter Hale and Gerard Argent (respectively).
In this episode, we learn all about Deucalion's past with the Hale Alpha, Derek and Cora's mother Talia, along with Deaton, Ennis, and Gerard. Is Deucalion really as ruthless and cruel as he seems? Is it possible that Gerard could get even worse? You'd be surprised. We get to see Derek awkwardly flirt while holding a basketball, sneak around abandoned locations after dark, and fall in love with a beautiful, snarky, beauty-marked (wait, this sounds familiar…) girl. Plus, we finally learn the origins of Derek's blue eyes!
Also, I guess we still have Emissaries? #MagicStilesForever
