The BHH Lacrosse Team is terrible at Lacrosse. Its about time we accept that.


“Relics” picks off with Chris Argent in the woods hunting the soul eater – or at least trying to before Mama McCall comes crashing in. She says she’s tired of watching people she loves wheel pass the nurse’s station in a gurney so she’s here to help. She seems to be very unaware that hunting relies on being stealthy as she just keeps yapping on. The duo come across a clearing of crashed bikes and three dead bodies - right before someone starts running towards them – a werecoyote – Malia. Knowing that its Malia racing towards them doesn’t stop Chris from shooting her in the leg however.

Mason has found a way to be warned about the arrival of the Ghost Riders – by measuring storm activity – since the Ghost Riders ride on lightening. His victory is short-lived however when the numbers on his meter start rising.

Meanwhile, Scott gives Lydia Jake Sullivan’s library card which was left behind in “Superposition”. She calls it a “relic; an object with a fixed association to the past”. Scott views that as a Ghost Rider weakness and says that if they can find a relic that Stiles left behind, they may find a way to bring back Stiles. That said, Lydia goes off to find Stiles’ relic in the Stilinski household. One of her banshee visions appears and tells her the evidence is right in front of her. She takes that literally and starts to peel off the wallpaper when a very angry (and still very dead) Claudia Stilinski stops her.

Scott, Liam and co. have a bigger task ahead – protecting everyone who saw the Ghost Riders at the party. Mason believes that if they can hide them in a bunker, the earth will ground the “electrical charge”. But just how long are these members of Beacon High supposed to stay underground? The real problem however is convincing them to go underground. Nathan, Team Captain aspirant thinks Liam is selling him a bulls-it story about “supernatural forces” trying to “erase” his soul so he can be team captain. Nathan describes the Ghost Rider as “a man in a hat with a gun”. Mason takes the human approach by telling Nathan that the man with the gun is coming back to shoot him in the need. That’s all the motivation Nathan needs.

Gwen on the other hand is not so easily swayed. She wants to get taken by the Ghost Riders and there’s nothing her new bodyguard Hayden can do to stop it.

The party folks of BHH are hiding out at Chris Argent’s bunker but Scott, Liam, Corey and Mason have to leave when they discover that about four people are missing. Chris calls Malia in for “babysitting” duty but Malia says she’s not the babysitting type because “coyotes eat their young”. Chris gives a speech about how he could have saved his sister Kate from the bloodlust if he had tried harder and how Malia can stay human by getting “involved”. Malia agrees to the babysitting role but it doesn’t go so well because when a group of people decide to stay together, there’s always one idiot who thinks he/she can do better on their own. And that idiot is Nathan.

Mrs. Martin learned that her daughter tried to peel off Claudia’s wallpaper and asks her about it. Lydia says she was looking for a relic Stiles left behind. Natalie feels Lydia has a “biased perspective” because she is convinced that Stiles exists and refuses to consider any other option. She asks Lydia to voice her ideas so she can be the “unbiased perspective”. Whatever Lydia says convinced her because the two head to the hospital to ask Melissa to show them Claudia’s private medical files. They check it and find that Claudia had no children  but she had "frontotemporal dementia" 10 years ago. Melissa thinks it’s a “miracle” that Claudia is still alive.

Scott, Liam and Corey have to go on the lacrosse field after all because the missing four are already there. On the lacrosse field however, they are getting their butts handed to them. So much so that one starts to wonder if anyone on the team actually knows how to play lacrosse. Wasn’t Liam once a pro at this stuff? While they are on the field and everyone is fighting with the other person, Mason figures out that the Riders are scared of Parrish and requests that he meet them at the school. So that explains that outrageous scene in “Sundowning” where Parrish was yelling at the Ghost Rider to get on his knees. Maybe the producers have always known about this Hellhound/Ghost Riders dynamic but how do you explain Parrish’s overconfidence and stupidity?

The Ghost Riders arrive and looks like there’s a whole village of them because there are about 12 and they have surrounded Scott, Liam, Corey and the missing three – the last one has already been dragged out of existence. Maybe at this point, Scott discovered what a terrible idea he had because there’s no way a weak alpha, a strong beta and a chameleon can fight a ring of Ghost Riders. The latter ends up taking everyone right in front of their very eyes. Liam managed to knock one off his horse though. That should count for something.

Parrish, Mason and Hayden aren’t doing so well either. Mason convinced Parrish that the Riders are scared of his Hellhound form so he gets all flaming and approaches one of the Riders. This Rider however doesn’t look to scare easily and shoots the Hellhound. But rather than dissappear like everyone else, his flames simply go out. So the flames are protective? Hayden goes into Chimera form and tries to attack but the Rider dissappears. Are they scared of Hayden too? Or the Rider simply lost interest?

Chris and Malia are also not doing well. They found Nathan and he is adamant about leaving the bunker. He succeeds in doing that but by opening the hatch door, he broke the mountain ash seal, gets taken and gives a passage for the riders to come right in. Malia and Chris put up a fight but everyone at the bunker gets taken too.

Scott (who saw the Riders even after releasing Corey’s hands) tells Liam that none of what happened was his fault. But Liam is still distraught and when he goes to the locker room, Coach uses him as an example. Saying Liam was the only one who stayed on the field when the storm came – a very heavy storm which Coach described as “barely a thunderstorm”. Coach says they played “lacrap” not lacrosse. Liam who is still quite heartbroken about everything reminds Coach that they “lost everything”. To this Coach says “listen to the despair” and proceeds to make him Team Captain. This promotion does a lot to raise Liam’s confidence as he later tells Corey, Mason and Hayden to go home because he has decided to catch a Ghost Rider. The three however decide not to leave but to follow their new leader. Looks like Liam has his own pack now. Is he also going to “rise to the occasion” and become a true alpha?

At the hospital, Chris has a number of injuries and needs a lot of rest. Lydia tells Scott and Malia that she was unable to find a relic. This makes the three believe that maybe there isn't a Stiles and they should focus on what really is – Ghost Riders. Very unwise of Lydia to dismiss her banshee premonitions.

But we later see that Stiles did leave a relic. He left Roscoe the Jeep. ROSCOE LIVES!!

Does anyone have theories on Claudia Stilinski and her role in all these? Plus what is going on with Chris and Melissa? Do they get a couple name? Chrilissa? Melris?
