15 Best Teen Wolf Episodes
3. Motel California (Season 3, Episode 6)
An episode that usually tops the list of fan favourites - and for good reason - Motel California is a treasure trove of iconic moments. En route to a cross country meeting, Coach is forced to set all the students up in a dingy motel for the night. Scott bunks with Stiles, Allison with Lydia, and though things seem normal, they soon take a turn for the worse.
After Ethan tries to kill himself, the pack begin to worry that the werewolf are being badly effected by the seemingly haunted motel, and they set out to save the day. During this, Scott imagines his mother being killed, Isaac remembers the abuse he was subjected to his father, and Boyd recalls losing his sister.
All of this barrels toward a gripping conclusion, in which Scott threatens to kill himself and Stiles is forced to step in and talk some sense into him. One of the most affecting moments of the show, Motel California once more strikes a balance between the horror and the drama, and shows off just how powerful Scott and Stiles's relationship is.
