15 Best Teen Wolf Episodes

After the so-so conclusion of season four, it was a welcome change of pace when Teen Wolf decided to go back to its darker days. Opening with a cryptic sequence in which Lydia is shown at Eichen House, the local mental health treatment facility inhabited mostly by supernatural creatures, Creatures of the Night raises a lot of questions, and Lydia shows off some major new powers.

After this cold open, flashbacks show how Lydia came to be at Eichen, and the episodes changes tone once more. Scott, Stiles, Lydia, Malia and Kira are preparing for the last leg of their school lives, and seem ready for the next step, but the arrival of a genetically modified werewolf and old school friend Theo cause things to get complicated.

Creatures of the Night is the best premier episode of the show, setting the stakes of the season up beautifully and adding a great level of mystery in the process. Also - Scott signing Allison's name on the bookshelf will never not tug at the heartstrings.
