Titled: “Ghosted”
Well, it’s official. Teen Wolf has turned into a horror movie … and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Coming off an episode that I really enjoyed — and which really moved things forward with the Stiles story line — this episode felt a bit slow. Yes, I get that it was creepy, but it focused a bit too much on the creepy and not enough on actual story. Either way, let’s get to it.
I’m breaking down this episode into three story lines.
Saving Argent
Okay, so this won’t take long: To refresh your memory, Argent was badly beaten by the Ghost Riders in the last episode. More specifically, he was whipped, and when you’re whipped by a Ghost Riders, a number of supernatural toxins enter your body. And because modern medicine will kill him faster than it will heal him, it’s up to Melissa to get the nine herbs he needs to counteract whatever venom is in his body. The twist? If she mixes them incorrectly, she kills him.
And yet, she doesn’t kill him. Instead, Melissa saves the day and all is well with my favorite non-love story.
Ghost Town
After Lydia starts the hour by traveling through a mirror — apparently this is a dream — she finds herself in Canaan for a block party that took place in 1987. Lydia then watches as the Ghost Riders sweep through town and take everyone except for the woman she originally saw in the mirror.
