** All the evidence points to Lydia and Allison considering themselves to be Stiles' friends. Isaac somewhat less so, as he is more Scott's second wingman. What was interesting was Agent [=McCall=] counting Ethan and Aiden as part of their group, since at that point most witnesses would attest to some hostility between Scott's circle and them (especially Isaac). Yet he unknowingly identified everyone who would be part of Scott's pack by the end of the season.

** On the plus side, it would only be for a couple years, and if his father tried to get abusive Scott could [[SuperStrength easily throw him through a wall]]. Actually, [[FridgeBrilliance thinking about it]], Deucalion should have considered ''that'' as a plan to turn Scott into a murderer. It might have worked better.

*** Except that Scott didn't get burned. He didn't have to be broken out of it, like, Isaac or Ethan or Boyd. All Stiles had to do was talk him down. And comparing Scott's utterly devastating expression when he was talking to Ethan and Isaac and Boyd's practically blank faces when they were possessed, it's entirely possible the attempt ''was'' genuine, especially considering that, only an episode before, Scott nearly died because his guilt over Derek meant he wasn't letting himself heal. All the Darach might have needed to do was put the idea in Scott's head and use the hallucination of Melissa being killed to drive the idea that it's all his fault people are getting hurt home.

* We learn in "Motel California" that Scott has never seen the ''Franchise/StarWars'' movies. Which helps explain why he did not laugh (as this troper did) at Deucalion's speech to get him to go over to TheDarkSide, which sounds incredibly similar to the dialogue between Emperor Palapatine and Luke in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Deucalion and Palpatine even [[{{Expy}} look a lot alike]]!

* In "Motel California", Scott, under the influence of wolfsbane, hallucinates Deucalion killing his mother. Come "Alpha Pact" and "Lunar Ellipse", where it's implied that Scott's father was awful enough that Stiles ''hates'' him, and Scott slams the door in his face before he can even talk. Scott's dislike of his father puts his fear in "Motel California" in a different light. (Which is even worse. Scott's dad had custody for a while, but Melissa got him back, and if Melissa died, not only would he lose his mother, but he'd be stuck with the father he ''hates'', presumably for very good reason.)

* Scott being able to break the barrier of mountain ash makes sense, once you consider the primary use of it. It's used as a barrier, to either contain or shield against creatures that could hurt someone. Scott, however, is primarily a defensive fighter, has never killed anyone, nor does he want to, and he's never intentionally actively tried to hurt someone. So, it makes sense, that as a werewolf who has ascended to the rank of alpha without resorting to violence or murder, he'd be able to break through the mountain ash barrier.

This almost seems like the belief that some Star Wars people have that Force-sensitives can easily sense each other. But onscreen it has never been that simple. Teen Wolf is much the same. Despite their enhanced senses, werewolves cannot automatically detect each other, or other supernatural beings such as the Kanima.

*Once you learn that Kate engaged in a relationship with [[spoiler:Derek in his youth]], suddenly her comments about Jackson and being a substitute teacher for his benefit [[DirtyOldWoman don't seem so innocuous]].
** When you do the math that the show gives you of Jackson being born in June of 1995 and Teen Wolf being late-winter/early-spring of 2011, that puts him at 15 during the show. Kate's gravestone puts her at being 28.
