Top 10 questions & moments from ‘Teen Wolf’ episode ‘Illuminated’
In this weeks Teen Wolf it was one creepy Halloween night, there was glow in the dark paint involved, shirtless werewolves, and of course you cant forget the ever so creepy black figures coming out of the shadows and leaving their marked victims in an ice cold state of shock. But on a lighter note all of our favorite werewolves were finally brought together under one roof at what looks to be one really awesome black light party thrown by Aiden, Ethan, and Danny at Derek’s loft (without him knowing about it). Tonight we watched as some of the characters gained more insight into what they want and the kind of person they want to be. But of course in any great teen drama there’s always lots of sexual tension between characters and it surely was not lacking tonight between all of our favorite new and old Teen Wolf couples.
Here we are rounding up the top 10 moments and questions that came from Monday nights episode ‘Illuminated’.
10. Allison and Isaac and whatever they are
The two of them are in this weird limbo it seems with each other. They each don’t want to make the first move because they don’t want to betray Scott’s friendship but yet they both seem to not be able to keep their hands off of each other. As Allison said it best “ Do you want to talk about Scott, or do you want to paint my body?” At the black light party they seem to finally get the closeness they each wanted. Allison and Isaac need to finally have the conversation not only with Scott but with each other to figure out what they are because they do care about each other.
9. Scott’s changing relationship with his dad
We haven’t yet gotten the full back-story on what happened with Scott and his dad but we do know that his dad still cares deeply for Scott. Tonight when Scott sees the desktop picture on his dad’s laptop we see something change in Scott, almost like a huge weight has been lifted. Like the picture is validating for Scott that his dad does really love him and care about him still despite whatever happened in the past between them. Hopefully we get to see their new relationship with each other play out soon.
8. Kira self portrait revelation.
Every time Kira takes a picture with the flash on she seems to disappear from the photo by being wrapped in this sort of light. Kirs sees herself looking like a demon, while the ever so sweet Scott sees the photograph and describes it more like she’s wrapped in an armor, like she looks like a fox. In Scott’s Alpha state when he tried looking for Kira in the crowd he too saw the glowing surrounding her.
Last week we found out that Kira can soak up electricity but how does the whole capturing her in a picture play into this? Kira’s character still has a lot of unanswered questions.
7. Stiles FINALLY gets some action
FINALLY! Stiles gets a little bit of smoochin’ action at the black light party. Ofcourse this girl isn’t only there to kiss Stiles she also helps him in solving the mystery of where this mysterious key on his keychain came from.
6. Lydia is the mirror that Aiden needed
First off Lydia and Aiden are great together
Secondly there seems to be no lies between the two. Each of them know what the other is
Thirdly they really care about each other.
This week’s scene with the two of them in biology class she tells him how it is and it’s the harsh reality that Aiden needs. Lydia tells Aiden she helped save someone’s life (Kira’s life) and it felt really good. She says that when he looks at Aiden now all she can see is him killing Boyd. Lydia tells Aiden that he is a bad person and she doesn’t want to be with a bad person. In this moment Aiden is realizing that in order to be liked he needs to start acting like a human being, not the roaring Alpha who can get everything he wants.
5. Conversation between Stiles and Scotts dad (Agent McHall)
Stiles tell him that he knows why Agent McHall hates Sheriff Stilinski so much and no matter how much McHall tries to dress up the hatred professionally Stiles knows the reason for the hatred. Stiles reveals it’s because his dad knows something about McHall and warns McHall that Stiles too knows what Sheriff Stilinski has on him.
Now we can’t tell if this is a bluff on Stiles’ end but it does seem like McHall is scared and worried that Stiles knows something he shouldn’t.
4. Why does Chris Argent (Allison’s dad) has a mask?
After Isaac is attacked in Allison’s room and describes the five masked men as coming out from the shadows to Chris and Allison, Chris knows something he isn’t sharing with the gang. He goes into his office to reveal that he too has that same mask but it is broken into 4 pieces. Chris makes Allison and Isaac promise not to let anyone know about it.
At the end of the episode however we see Chris stumbling home with a bloody hand and then passing out onto the floor.
The connection between these masked figured and Chris is still very unknown. The origins of the mask and what Chris went out to do that night are still a mystery. But in the past it seems the Argent family always knows more than they lead on, so it wont come as a shocker for how they are involved some how.
3. The markings by the mysterious masked men/shadows
Each of the victims came out of the attack looking like they were in a state of ice-cold shock and a backwards 5 marking behind their ear.
The big question is what does it mean for those who were marked?
2. Why wasn’t Scott attacked/marked by them ?
It seems that all the other werewolves and of course Lydia were marked by the men/shadows. It seems that each of the others were able to sense the presence of these mysterious shadows except for Scott in this episode. When they got the opportunity they decided to go and attack Aiden before going for Scott. This is interesting and may possibly tell us something because Scott is the only Alpha currently so maybe they are trying to take hic pack away?
1. Stiles is the one who left the message for Barrow to kill Keira
It all started with the mystery of the key. Throughout the night Stiles can’t figure out why the key came from until he’s at the black light party with Caitlyn (the girl he was with that kisses him) and she points out the key has phosphorus on it, pretty much meaning it has chemicals on it which make it react to the black light; this sparks Stile’s epiphany.
Running over to the school he finds out that the key that magically ended up on his key chain opens the door to the chemical room where in the previous episode Barrow was hiding. Stiles realize that he is the one who left the message for Barrow to kill Kira!
The big question is why Stiles? How did he do all of this or is he being setup/ possessed?
