Teen Wolf Season 3: A Recap For New Viewers

Season Two Recap

teenwolf-season2 -- Scott and Allison are forced to continue their relationship in secret from her disapproving and violently opposed parents although the relationship becomes strained when Allison finds herself the object of photography student Matt's affections and dates him to keep her parents from realising about her and Scott -- Meanwhile Derek begins to assemble a new pack, picking on vulnerable teenagers such as abused Isaac, epileptic loner Erica and silent loner Boyd. He maintains on trying to get Scott into his pack but to no avail. -- The bite doesn't appear to affect Jackson and after recording himself, he discovers that the change hasn't affected him at all, although video footage is missing, something Matt and Danny confirm. --Lydia, meanwhile, hasn't been affected either and is later revealed to be an anomaly, having an immunity to a bite and potentially more else. She begins to experience intense hallucinations of Peter, sometimes entering a trance state and soon discovers that a fragment of Peter's soul has stayed with her due to her immunity. -- Allison's parents attempt to sway her back towards her hunting heritage with her mother Victoria and grandfather Gerard gaining influential positions in the high school to keep an eye on her and Scott. -- Both Derek and Scott find themselves facing a new enemy - a strange creature known as the kanima who paralyses and kills people. Derek becomes convinced that the kanima - an aborted transformation to a werewolf - is Lydia, although is later proven to be false when, in a home invasion orchestrated by Derek and his pack, Jackson is revealed to be the kanima. The home is defended by Scott, Stiles and Allison, Derek acknowledging that the two humans are Scott's pack. -- Scott, Stiles and Allison attempt to stop a possessed Jackson from killing more people as the kanima and to understand what and who is behind the murders when Lydia translates text about the creature to reveal that it requires a master. -- The man behind the murders is revealed to be Matt who is seeking vengeance after nearly drowning as a child on the people who let him do so, including Isaac's dad, which Stiles uncovers after investigating. Matt is soon killed by the villainous Gerard who assumes control of the kanima while making a deal with Scott to leak information in exchange for not killing Scott's mother, who learns about his wolf state and accepts him and his role as protector. -- At the same time, Victoria kidnaps Scott and plans to kill him to stop her daughter from going awry. Derek stops her by force, infecting Victoria and forcing her to commit suicide to stop becoming a werewolf. Her death shocks Allison and turns her darker, her sights on killing Derek and placing her against Scott. -- Meanwhile a tranced-out Lydia kidnaps Derek and subjects him to a specific ritual which resurrects Peter to the horror of the others, including Derek, who is forced to keep his uncle alive as a useful ally. -- During a lacrosse game, Jackson finds himself losing control over the creature and warns people off the field, killing himself to stop himself hurting Danny, Lydia or anyone else. Jackson later revives as the kanima. --Erica and Boyd run away from Derek's pack when they lose confidence in his abilities but are soon hunted down by Allison and Chris. Chris stops Allison from killing the pair, Allison realising what darkness she has done. -- Gerard unleashes the kanima on the wolves and demands the bite from Derek but finds that Scott has been double-crossing him and slowly poisoning him with wolfsbane. Gerard collapses, all but dead, the bite reacting violently with the wolfsbane. -- Stiles and Lydia reach the group and Lydia uses her love for Jackson to make him return to his senses in time for him to make Derek and Peter kill him for good. His self sacrifice transforms into a proper werewolf and he rejoices with Lydia. -- Scott and Allison break up but remain there for each other while the others recover. Derek learns of a new threat heading for the town - a pack of ultra-strong Alphas that no one is prepared for... So: are you excited for the third season? What do you think is going to happen?
