The Ghost Riders, how do we stop 'em?
We can find a person to absorb the lightning.
Whatever happens will be your responsibility.
- Where's my sister? - You killed her, remember?
I can help. I know about the Wild Hunt from the Dread Doctors.
- Where's Stiles? - You remember Stiles?
To not tear you in half right now.
Somehow I don't think we're gonna hug this out.
Theo...
No, Tara, don't.
Theo...
It's okay.
You don't have to stop.
It's okay, you don't have to stop.
Trust me, I won't.
Malia, enough! Hey.
Slow down, okay?
He's going back in the ground.
You can't.
He remembers Stiles.
Scott remembers Stiles.
Lydia and I remember Stiles.
The Dread Doctors knew all about the Wild Hunt.
He could help us.
Or he could kill us.
He's my responsibility.
Noshiko gave me the sword.
It's so awkward when Mom and Dad fight.
Shut up!
You both are right.
If Theo tries anything, we'll send him back to the Skinwalkers.
But for right now...
He goes back now.
- Except Liam's the one with the sword. - Shut up!
- Mdlia... - Can you give me a second alone with Theo?
- Why? - So I can kill him.
Okay, look,
I know that there's mixed feelings all around.
But I might be your only option to stop the Wild Hunt.
Let's kill him.
What, you don't trust me?
I don't trust him. Do you?
No. But I think we can use him.
Remember who he is.
He got into your head and you tried to kill me.
And when that didn't work, he did kill me.
And Tracy, and Josh, and his sister.
But this might be our only chance to get Stiles back.
Can't we just try to find somebody that we at least trust?
This might be a mistake.
But you don't know that yet.
And you made mistakes when you were learning to be an Alpha.
Yeah, I made a lot.
But we don't have time for mistakes.
I can't lose Stiles.
So we should try anything we can to save him.
Right?
Even Theo.
Convince me.
I can put you back in the ground anytime.
You also need a transformer
that can handle five billion joules of electricity.
I know where to find one and I can show you how it works.
I'll tell you if Malia promises not to kill me.
She promises.
No, I don't.
We're really gonna do this?
- Trust him? - You got a better idea?
I've got an idea.
It may not be better. But at least it's not him.
Noah.
Come out of there.
Did you know about this room?
Why was it sealed off?
The previous owners probably did it. I...
People do crazy things.
What if this was his room?
What if this means we had a son?
Noah...
Claudia, this could be the proof we're looking for.
There are so many simple explanations for why this is here.
But we had a son we've forgotten
is not one of them.
Aren't you curious?
No. I'm not.
You're making yourself crazy.
I think we should just leave it alone.
I can't.
This was a bad idea.
It's not a bad idea.
It is a terrible idea.
I told you where the transformer is.
I told you how it works.
I don't need to be there when it all blows up.
It's not going to blow up.
They ride the lightning.
We can use that to catch one
and keep him there until we figure out what they want.
It's a good idea.
You're trying to catch a Ghost Rider.
A million things can go wrong. Terrible idea.
The bad idea was bringing him back.
Scott's right. This is a mistake.
You took a risk.
We took arisk.
But it was the right thing to do.
I believe in you.
You guys want me to leave you alone?
Oh, that's right, I can't.
We better hurry.
You did it.
Of course we did it.
This thing can transmute the energy from a lightning bolt.
Even successive strikes.
Mason, are you sure this is gonna work?
Well, whatever's inside this cage
is shielded from any outside electrical current.
So the Ghost Rider won't be able to use lightning to escape.
We put a lightning rod on the roof and connected it to that conduit cable.
Drawing the Ghost Rider to that spot.
We can't send him directly in because the cage neutralizes electromagnetism.
Lightning will just bounce off it.
Which is the same reason it'll hold him in.
If the Ghost Rider lands here,
how do we get him in the cage?
We have to lure him in.
- Bait? - I'l do it.
It'll be okay.
I'm faster than you.
As soon as Hayden's out, Scott and Liam,
you guys close the gates,
and then I'll put down a barrier of Mountain Ash.
I'll be on the roof to take down the rod.
We'll be on the lookout for any other Ghost Riders.
What do you think?
I think it's the best idea that we have right now.
As long as everything goes perfectly and he doesn't escape and kill us all.
And your transformer works and the whole place doesn't catch on fire.
And there isn't a catastrophic solar flare.
Let's do it.
Okay.
He has third degree burns over 90% of his body.
I should be telling you to say your goodbyes.
It's Peter. I don't need to say goodbyes.
I need you to fix him
so we can find out what he knows about the Wild Hunt.
Remember who we're dealing with.
Your father is a ruthless con man
who always has a devious plan to hurt everyone around him.
What happens when he gets up out of that bed?
You got a plan of your own?
I have a plan.
I don't know if it's devious.
At least it's a plan.
I can't promise this will work.
You said he was dying anyway.
What does he have to lose?
I can hear you.
I'm not dead yet.
I think they put that there to protect me.
Glad to see you're obeying hospital protocols.
Your daughter asked me to treat you.
In exchange for what?
Told you, you needed a plan.
She helps you, you help me.
That's a bit open-ended.
What if I don't agree to your conditions?
I leave you for dead.
So, what exactly do you know about our kind of medicine?
I know about the Nine Herbs.
Think it's working?
Should be. Looks painful enough.
You know we never did have that second date.
Still thinking about how to prove the Riemann Hypothesis?
I'm thinking about a dead kid I met in Canaan.
Dead?
He drowned in 1985.
Okay.
Go on.
His mom conjured him.
To fill the void she felt after the Wild Hunt passed through Canaan.
Mom...
What if Sheriff Stilinski is filling a void?
What if he's filling it with Claudia?
You think Claudia's dead?
No, Il... I just saw her.
So many things don't make sense.
She had a fatal disease, but then she's fine.
She says her Jeep was stolen 20 years ago,
but it's Stiles'.
Oh, you should have seen the look on her face
when I peeled back the wallpaper.
She wasn't just angry.
She was scared.
Like she was protecting a secret.
Okay.
If this is true, then...
Maybe Sheriff Stilinski needs this.
Maybe it's his way of coping.
What if Claudia being here
is preventing him from remembering Stiles?
Lydia,
if Claudia isn't real,
you don't want to be the one to tell him.
Come on.
Keep closing it.
Gol Go!
- It worked. - We did it.
Yeah. We did.
You knew about it, didn't you?
God, it was on the blueprints.
It was here when we moved in. That was 18 years ago.
Lydia?
What is it?
Nothing.
I don't understand how you knew this was here.
If you want to discuss the possibility
that I had a son...
I'm listening.
Now what do we do?
Try and talk to him.
Mr. Ghost Rider?
Mr. Rider?
We'll let you out
if you tell us how to get our friends back.
Everyone. We want everyone back.
Tell us how to get 'em all back.
This is the plan?
There wasn't a plan for this part of the plan.
It's okay.
Look, we got him trapped. He can't get out.
We just have to figure out how to communicate with him.
Maybe he can't hear us.
Maybe he speaks an ancient language.
Maybe he only responds to pain.
Or fear.
Nothing's gonna scare this thing. Look at him.
He's a walking corpse.
Something's wrong.
Why'd he stop trying to get out?
Did he just call for backup?
When Corey made the Ghost Rider visible at the party,
another one showed up.
We have to figure out how to talk to him. Or else get the hell out of here.
Where's Corey?
He's over there.
How did you know?
There's a refraction of light around your silhouette that I can always see.
I don't know, it probably has something to do
with pheromones or some other chemical interaction.
It's my only power.
Finding you.
Did you see anything on your end?
No. It's all clear.
I wish we knew what was happening.
Anything?
They can't get him to talk.
They were communicating.
Who?
I was wrong about him.
Well, no, I was right about him.
Actually, I was wrong about him but I was right about the wrong thing.
- Who are we talking about here? - Parrish.
Remember how I thought that the Ghost Riders
- were scared of him? - At the party?
I think that he was actually trying to communicate with him.
On your knees.
We need Parrish.
So, wait a sec. So, this woman "Lenore,"
she conjured up her dead son?
She was the only one left.
She had to fill a void.
So she filled it with her son.
And you saw this kid?
We dll did.
He was real. He was there.
But...
But what?
She was there when everybody was taken.
She saw it happen.
But she didn't wanna believe it.
She wanted to believe in her son.
What are you trying to say?
You think Claudia is not real?
You think I made up a phantom wife?
You're afraid to remember him.
She's a flesh and blood woman.
She's real.
Everything else here is just, is just speculation. Conjecture.
It's just, it's a theory based on a...
On a ghost town.
You don't see anything?
I see a deeply disturbed young woman.
You're afraid to remember him because you're afraid of what it means.
Why do you care so much if I remember him?
Because you loved him.
That's progress.
Ask him how we get everyone back.
Tell us how we get everyone back.
- What was that? - Did he say something?
He said "Hellhound".
Is that a good thing?
Take the next left, cut over to the highway.
And then don't stop.
We have a deal.
I'm not leaving without Stiles.
You're so very loyal, Malia.
And that is an overrated quality.
You know, I was in pretty bad shape when you found me.
I don't really have a clear picture of where I was.
I marked the territory.
Visually. I marked it visually. But we didn't see where you came out.
It's a supernatural rift, Malia,
it's not the Golden Gate Bridge.
I doubt we can even see it, let alone get through.
This is a horrible waste of time.
You promised me. On your death bed.
I just saw a kid get burned alive trying to escape the Hunt.
You try and save Stiles, he's gonna die the same way.
Humans can't get through.
Then we'll find another way to get him out.
But first we have to get in.
You have no self-preservation instincts.
How are you my daughter?
Ask him again.
What do you want from us?
We are the Wild Hunt.
We hunt forever.
Those who hunt with us hunt forever.
What does that mean?
Tell us what you want.
We are the Wild Hunt.
Those who hunt with us hunt forever.
That clarifies things.
What do we have to do to get everyone back?
Do you want something from us?
Why's he looking at Scott?
He figured out Scott's the Alpha.
There must be something you want.
There is only the Hunt.
No one resists. No one escapes.
If they can't be bargained with, we're gonna have to fight ‘em.
I'm comin' for my friends.
I'm comin' for everyone.
I won't stop.
I'll never stop until we get everyone back.
Parrish? What's happening?
Scott...
What is he doing?
He's gonna set him free.
I think you need to admit that you have an unhealthy attachment to Stiles.
You got to let him go.
Would you please try to behave like a human?
- I need Stiles for that. - Why?
Is he your human crutch?
He's my anchor.
I'll get you a new anchor.
He's not comin' back.
He was hunted. He got caught.
You don't believe that.
You risked your life to bring us his keys.
I risked my life to escape the Hunt.
Not to reunite sentimental teenagers.
You wanted us to know about Stiles.
And Canaan.
You were warning us.
This is where we found you.
Like I said,
there's nothin' here.
- You're not even looking. - You can't just poke around
and expect to find a supernatural train station.
Do you hear that?
- Nothing. - Same here.
How do you think it's going?
I bet it's working.
Hey, hey, Parrish, Parrish, stop!
No!
Yeah, we need to do something.
Yeah. On three.
Three!
Have you been here the whole time?
How could I stay away?
Maybe you should tell them who you really are.
Hauptmann?
It's them?
Yeah.
And judging by the sound, we don't have a lot of time.
For what?
For you to run.
You're leaving me?
I'm saving you.
But if we can hear them, it must be close.
There'll be another chance.
Go now.
Malia, run! Go!
Break the barrier.
Break the barrier, or I'll rip you in two.
It's been a long time.
Don't follow me.
What did you do?
It was Mr. Douglas.
He ate his brain.
Scott was right.
I was wrong.
I'm sending you back.
It wasn't his brain.
Mr. Douglas ate his pineal gland.
It couldn't have been Theo.
These murders have been going on for weeks.
Guys. His whip's gone.
Mr. Douglas?
What are you doing?
Something I have been waiting to do for a very long time.
