Weaponized (4×07)
If you haven’t noticed at this point, I can’t say I was all too big of a fan of season four of Teen Wolf, which is what made episode seven, Weaponized, such a surprising highlight. For the first time, it seemed like these characters’ lives were being tethered, that some of them were exhausted and on the edge of giving in completely, which only makes their triumph at the end all the better. A virus has taken over the school, making it so the characters are quarantined. Scott and his pack are hit the hardest and locked away from the rest of the student body as Stiles, mildly affected, spends his time trying to find the person responsible. He’s involved in a wonderfully tense moment with the assailant, but is saved, surprisingly, by Scott’s dad. Blood-spattered and shaken, Stiles races down to Scott and co., who are barely holding on, and it’s an ending that is in part triumphant, but also bruised by truths that come uncovered. It’s a great episode in a uniformly mediocre season.
