Insatiable (3×23)
While I’ve enjoyed Lydia a lot in the past, I can’t always say the same for her actress, Holland Roden; but there is one moment of hers that sticks in my mind, and will likely be one of my favorites after the show’s duration. That’s Lydia screaming Allison’s name just as Allison is killed while fighting with her friends, before crumpling over Stiles’ crumpled body. It’s one of the most cinematic and artful shots the show has ever done, and it’s a scene filled with pure grief and loss. We feel that moment. Allison’s death (as annoyed as I was by it since I enjoyed the character) was well done and well-performed by all involved, and while the episode was strong with more fantastic Nogitsune Stiles and Scott leadership, it’s that ending scene that really seals the deal for this viewer.
