Teen Wolf Review: “Unleashed” (Season 3, Episode 4)

In its first two seasons Teen Wolf pulled off some pretty spectacular storylines, and now we are finally getting a taste of what the show can do with twice as many episodes and half the rush.

The teachers aren’t the only ones getting into trouble though, proving once again that Teen Wolf is an equal-opportunity trouble maker.

The newest additions to the Beacon Hills student body are the very attractive Alpha-twins, Ethan (Charlie Carver) and Aidan (Max Carver), who besides being able to literally become one person, have a serious vendetta against Isaac (Daniel Sharman) that takes bullying to a whole new level.

Scott (Tyler Posey), with all the makings of an Alpha himself, comes to the aide of his friend – and helps to even the score. It’s a little funky that they’re using school discipline in this ploy, but whatever. At least Scott and Isaac will have one less psychotic twin to deal with during the school day for like the next three days. If only that was the only place they could possibly encounter each other.

It appears that Deucalion and his band of merry Alphas are hoping to turn Scott and Derek against each other. If Derek takes out Scott, that’s one less thing for them to check off their to-do list, with the added bonus of turning Derek into the Alpha they want. Can Derek and Scott thwart all this manipulation and come out on top as per usual, or are we looking at the beginning of something unexpected? Can Scott become an Alpha without killing Derek? That would really be ideal – like a mini Alpha pack sprinkled with a couple of Betas.

There is still a lot yet to be revealed about why the Druid-gone-bad-seed is sacrificing humans in sets of three. Dr. Deaton is finally being proactive with the encouragement of Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) and the random, oddly helpful hints provided by Lydia’s (Holland Roden) blackout moments. Will this be enough to figure out why Beacon Hills has once again become a breeding ground for serial murders? And, does no one wonder why your chances of being murdered in this small time are so high? If anything it seems like the local news would have picked up this story by now.

Is whoever is committing these crimes related to the Alpha-pack and whatever prophecy they are trying to prevent, or is this a completely separate string of events with extra poor timing? Or, option three, is Peter (Ian Bohen) using the Apha-pack stunts to his advantage to to distract the good guys from discovering that he’s really the mastermind behind what’s happening? Let us know what you liked/despised about this episode of Teen Wolf in the comment section below, and be sure to chime in with your thoughts on a possible romance blooming between Derek and Miss Blake!

Until next episode.
