Teen Wolf Season 3 – Episode 18

Episode  18,  Riddled

Summary:

If you haven’t already watched the first three seasons its time now. Go watch Season 1Season 2, and the first half of Season 3. They are well worth seeing.

Episode 18 starts off with a creepy late night call from Styles. Styles is stuck in the dark, his leg is hurt, and he’s crying. Scott is left feeling helpless and afraid and rallies the troops to go find Styles. Styles calls back and tells Scott in an ubber creepy whisper that he is being quiet because he thinks someone is in the basement with him.

Back at Kira’s house something weird is going on. She blows her lightbulb out and then briefly sucks the electricity out of another.2014_TW_S3_E18_Lighbulb

When Styles uses his phone’s light to look at his foot in the darkness he realizes he’s in a bear trap and he can hear something moving just out of earshot. Then he get’s just a brief creepy view of his jailer, who drops a piece of chalk on the ground.2014_TW_ScottBearTrap

The team tells the Sheriff and they end up a the hospital, which would have made perfect sense, since that was the last place we saw him. Derek shows up at the hospital and we get a glimpse of what might be Style’s insanity. There is a scent on the roof, and it is all Styles.2014_TW_S3_E18_StylesStruggle

Back in Style’s room, Lydia gets some of her psychic vibe going and then realizes that Styles must be at the insane asylum that his mother was at before she died. And then poor Styles gets another visit from his jailer who drops some major head f*cking. The thing in the basement keeps telling Styles “we”. OMG, the thing in the dark is creepy. Even if it keeps telling Styles “We’re trying to save your life.”

The Sheriff and team wolf get to the basement of the asylum but Styles isn’t there.

Then we cut away to Scott’s dad and his mother talking about how maybe Style’s is actually still asleep, stuck in a nightmare. (And he was right.)

Isaac ends up at Allison’s house and she’s been sleeping – right through everything that has been happening. Which leads her to check her phone. Its been off, but when she turns it on she gets a strange voice mail with strange Japanese sounding dialogue on it.

Then Derek and one of the twins is talking and the twin triggers a few strange statements from Derek. Why would the evil spirit go after Styles, he’s so weak. Derek says the demon would go after one of the stronger entities around.2014_TW_S3_E18_DerekSomeoneBigger

Derek then ends up at the school, and asks Kira to show him exactly what happened at the power station. Derek wants Kira to tell him everything she knows about “Fox Fire”.

Allison and Isaac go to Kira’s dad with her phone and has him translate the strange message. It was someone telling Japanese prisoners to stay away from the fences at a WWII internment camp.

Okay, so then things are all over the place. Derek has a theory that the demon used Kira to supercharge itself and power up inside Styles. Somehow Scott and Derek talk and realize that Styles has been trying to protect everyone around them from the demon inside him, and they go to the roof of the hospital to find a bag of tools and an electrical cable that has been partially cut.

In the MRI room the doctor shows the Sheriff and Scott’s mom an image of his brain, pointing out two areas of atrophy. While this is going on Styles is locked in his head, talking to the creepy jailer. The jailer will let everyone go if Style’s can answer the riddle.

And oh no, Styles isn’t able to answer the riddle, and the jailer takes over, stealing Styles body from him. There is some link between Kira’s family and the demon thing. Her mom has the firefly demons at her back.2014_TW_S3_E18_Challange

The last thing we see is Kira standing outside the hospital, the broken electrical cable falling down on top of her.

Things I loved about this episode…

  • Lydia – “If you’re thinking of nude modeling, it’s usually done without the pants.”
  • Tweet about Scott’s dad helping Styles.2014_TeenwolfTweet
  • Holy crap does Styles have some wicked scary dreams.
  • Scott telling Styles that if he has his mother’s dementia he’ll do something. The bro love between them is very touching. I wonder if that means Scott would turn him? Or look for some super natural healing?2014_TW_S3_E18_ScottStylesHug

Things that I didn’t like about this episode…

  • Styles being alone and in pain, and possibly being a nut ball. He better not be the bad guy!
  • Who the hell let Isaac into Allison’s house and lets him up into her room?

The Walking Dead (Season 4, Episode 9)

Episode 9, After

Summary:

Episode nine, After, starts right where the mid season finale left off. The prison has been overrun and walkers are everywhere.

Michonne is on the outskirts, looking in, and makes a run to the fence to get some rope so she can make herself another set of leashed walkers. Does this mean she’s on her own again?

Rick looks like crap, and Carl seems like he is on the verge of leaving him behind. Rick has to scream at him to keep him from walking off without him. What the hell is up with that Carl? Rick and Carl find a small store and get some supplies, and a little while later Michonne finds their tracks, but decides to head off into the woods. I guess she really is on her own again.

The relationship between Carl and Rick is really strained. Rick is scared to death Carl might screw up and get bit, and Carl is just pissed. I’m not sure why he throws up Shane in his dad’s face. Does he think that Shane would have been a better choice to survive the apocalypse with?

Then it cuts to Michonne having some kind of flashback that is merging the past and the present, giving us some back story on why she is such hard ass.

Back in the house Carl starts to freak out because Rick won’t wake up. And his screaming has brought walks to the front door. Carl always brings the stupid. He slips out the side of the house and draws the two walkers at the door away, only to back up into another walker. He ends up using up a lot of rounds to kill three walkers that end up piling up on top of him after he falls.

Michonne meanwhile is in the midst of a walker herd, walking to who knows where.

When Carl gets back to the house he freaks out on Rick, who is still unconscious, telling his father that he couldn’t protect any of them. He’s mad that Rick hid in the prison instead of going out after the Governor. His last cruel statement is to tell his unconscious dad that he’d be fine if he died. Is Carl every not going to be a little smuck? I doubt it.

Carl thinks most of the town is empty after he does his shooting and no walkers show up and ends up going scrounging for food.  He finds a house with a kitchen wish some supplies and ends up going upstairs, but I have no idea why. If you got food why wouldn’t you just take it and leave. Instead of almost getting eaten.

Michonne loses it shortly after, killing the small herd she is with, and then her two captive walkers as well. I think as much as she thinks of herself as a lone wolf, she misses the group.  Hopefully her psychotic moment will lead her to go looking for other survivors again. And viola, she goes back to the tracks she spotted earlier.

Rick and Carl end up on the floor talking about surviving and being safe if he goes out scavenging, and Carl admits he found more food, but he ate it, all 112 oz of pudding. And that is when Michonne comes strolling up the street and finds the empty pudding container in front of the house. She’s so happy that she’s found others that she is crying.

Things I loved about this episode…

  • Carl – “I win.” After he survives his tripping walker kill experience.
  • Carl trying to break down a door and not even making it budge.
  • Michonne going into blender mode.
  • The final scene where Carl tell’s Rick he doesn’t want him to die.

Things that I didn’t like about this episode…

  • Did you really need to show us Hershel’s zombie head? We all loved Hershel.
  • Carl being a complete d*ck to Rick. Come on kid, your dad has never done anything but try and keep you safe.
  • Walker eating a gallon of pudding as the walker reaches out from the window.
  • Michonne breaking down when she’s talking about Mike.
