You didn't think werewolves were still the only supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills, did you?

In 3×09, "The Girl Who Knew Too Much," Allison and Isaac suspect Chris of committing the human sacrifices after finding an incredibly detailed map in his office. Scott and Stiles decide Lydia's newly hidden talent of… hearing things she doesn't understand and stumbling across dead bodies… will be helpful in infiltrating the Alpha Pack. Oh, and the fact that she's romantically entangled with one of them. That helps.

Unfortunately for Lydia, she makes a discovery that puts her (and Sheriff Stilinski) in mortal peril. Does Lydia's propensity for screaming mean anything? Does the Sheriff really make the perfect sacrifice? Is he ready to find out the truth about what really slinks around his town at night?

All we ever do is find the bodies.

In the time-honored tradition of not-telling-enough-story-per-season, it's time for a flashback episode!

In 3×08, "Visionary," we get the origin stories of both Derek Hale and Alpha Deucalion from two of the series' most unreliable narrators—Peter Hale and Gerard Argent (respectively).

In this episode, we learn all about Deucalion's past with the Hale Alpha, Derek and Cora's mother Talia, along with Deaton, Ennis, and Gerard. Is Deucalion really as ruthless and cruel as he seems? Is it possible that Gerard could get even worse? You'd be surprised. We get to see Derek awkwardly flirt while holding a basketball, sneak around abandoned locations after dark, and fall in love with a beautiful, snarky, beauty-marked (wait, this sounds familiar…) girl. Plus, we finally learn the origins of Derek's blue eyes!

Also, I guess we still have Emissaries? #MagicStilesForever

We're moving on to Healers this week on Pack Dynamics - here's hoping they can get some help in time!

In 3×07, "Currents," the Alpha Pack continues to target Derek, but his betas have a plan. Not that we don't support flooding the loft and running electrical currents through it, but it seems like a risky plan to us. Especially because Derek lives so high up in the building. But we digress.

Dr. Deaton is abducted by the Alphas to become the third sacrifice, but Deucalion gives Scott just enough hints to be helpful. We learn more about telluric currents, about the potential of Scott's powers, and the lengths the Alpha Pack will go to to secure a new member of their pack.

Chris Argent has a cool UV-reactive map, Dr. Deaton has a sister (??), and we get the chance to say goodbye to two beloved pack members. It's a trip of an episode as we steadily click-click-click up the roller coaster of season 3A.

Get ready for one of the best episodes Teen Wolf has ever done. (No, really. Plus some major content warnings for suicide, self-harm, drowning, body horror, murder, and more.)

In 3×06, "Motel California," the team, plus the girls trailing in the car behind them, get caught in a massive traffic jam, causing them to hole up in a roadside motel for the night. However, due to spooky and horrifying circumstances beyond their control, they're confronted with personal horrors beyond their wildest dreams.

There isn't a lot of plot here to speak of, but we will get up close and personal with the psyches of each werewolf and the community that surrounds them. It's the closest we ever get to a Very Special Episode, so please take care of yourselves. We'll still be here when you get back.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Two of our least favorite things — long bus rides and whatever blue filter editors add in post — combine in an episode that isn't nearly as bad as it sounds.

In 3×05, "Frayed," all of our favorite werewolves are having a horrible time on their long bus ride to a cross country meet, given their super-secret-stealthy fight with the alphas the night before. Isaac and Boyd are starting fights with the alphas, Scott is slowly dying from a very bad, alpha-inflicted wound, and Stiles is studying for the SATs.

Luckily, the brains of the operation (Allison and Lydia) are following behind in a car. Good thing too, cause it turns out Scott's gonna need emergency roadside rest stop surgery!

Everything unfolds against the backdrop of a surprise attack against the Alpha Pack from the night before, where not everyone got out unscathed. Is Scott's wound ever going to heal? Is Derek actually dead? Is it possible that their horrible day is going to turn into an even worse, horrible, terrible, no-good night?

Grab your motion sickness bag, Jared. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

[fandomontherocks]

A new semester means a whole new boatload of trauma for our intrepid pack of werewolves (and friends!).

In 3×04, "Unleashed," we pick back up with the students who are finally coming back from their Summer of Hell (Boyd and Isaac), get to know our new nemeses from Hell (Ethan and Aiden), and… well, start running cross country to keep sharp for the lacrosse season (Scott). Deucalion tries to convince Derek that he must kill his own pack to join the Alphas and we learn some interesting things about the Hale Pack's old relations to this new alpha.

Meanwhile, Stiles and Lydia begin working with Deaton about what kind of new dark creature could be sacrificing people all over town and Lydia begins to fill her school notebooks with drawings of some kind of tree. Huh. Wonder if that'll be relevant.

Guard your Warriors this episode, friends. It's gonna be a doozy

Listen, we’ve seen 9-1-1 make some wild choices before—but this season finale? Nah.

In this week's chaotic, heartfelt, and occasionally unhinged 9-1-1 Bonus Episode, subtitled "Bobby Deserved Better and So Did We," we're joined by special guest Sofia (@sadgayeddie) to unpack the emotional aftermath of the 9-1-1 season 8 finale. Spoiler alert: we are not okay.

From Bobby’s sudden death (with super Ebola?!) to half a dozen storylines getting steamrolled in a montage, and a production timeline that feels like it was assembled by raccoons with a typewriter, we've got a lot to say. The writing? Sloppy. The mourning? Nonexistent. The audience? Mad.

There’s rage, there’s laughter, there’s speculation on Buddie (as always), and a whole lot of love for Christopher Diaz.

Expect unfiltered rants, fandom conspiracies, righteous indignation, and—of course—a little hope that season 9 will somehow pull it together (doubtful, but we dream). If you're confused, furious, or just here for the catharsis, hit play.

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokem— oh, no, wait. Wrong show. Oops!

In 3×03, "Fireflies," we follow Scott and Derek, who in turn are following Boyd and new character Cora, trying to catch these moon-crazed werewolves from causing death and destruction. Lydia, in search of ibuprofen, accidentally stumbles upon a dead body. (Hate to tell you, girliepop, this is a skill you'll get much better at over time.)

Derek, along with his feral betas, traumatizes Ms. Blake, the new English teacher. Beacon Hills High after dark? Cannot be trusted.

Will Allison ever apologize for the role she played in helping her grandfather last season? Will one-L-Alison ever get over the death of her first-born daughter, Erica Reyes? Will anyone ever be able to go camping ever again? Are virgins safe from abduction and death?

We won't answer any of these questions, truly. But we'll sure talk about 'em.

It's a girl's girl's girl's world here today on Pack Dynamics. In 3×02, "Chaos Rising," our intrepid pack looks to attend to two major problems. First, the matching bruises on Lydia and Allison's wrists might lead to something, but only if they figure out the pattern. Second, new character Heather is looking to lose her virginity at her Sweet Seventeen and picks our guy Stiles!

(Unfortunately for them, neither of these scenarios work out as planned.)

The race is on to rescue Boyd and Erica from the Alphas, but will the pack get there in time?

This episode is rife with fandom moments - from Isaac in the ice bath to Stiles and his very long gloved fist (and Derek's reaction to it) to everything about Coach Economist Bobby Finstock - and we'll dig into them all.

(Yes, including the sad ones.) Break out the blueprints, it's time to dig in.

Welcome back, Pack! This is the Season 3 premiere of Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast.

It's a few months after the events of Season 2, and a pack of Alphas (an Alpha pack?! they can do that?) have arrived to wreak to complete havoc on Scott McCall's life. Because he cannot catch a single break (he's still bummed over his break-up with Allison). There are Werewolf Twins now. Who have names and we can definitely tell them apart. And a woman with wicked claws. And Deucalion - a big bad of the season.

Derek and Isaac have been searching for Erica and Boyd since the end of Season 2 and know that the Alpha Pack have them in their clutches. The search leads to Isaac getting roughed up a bit and the introduction of a new character on a motorcycle: Braedon.

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war indeed.

Teen Wolf is back and Season 3 might just be the peak of the show. We're excited and we hope you are too.

We're mad, you're mad, we're all mad at Tim Minear. This week's 9-1-1 Mini Series episode is all about the devastating fallout from the 9-1-1 Contagion two-parter of 8x14 "Sick Day" and 8x15 "Lab Rats."

Warning: This episode is RIFE with spoilers for basically the entirety of 9-1-1 through 8x15. And includes discussions of suicide that some listeners may find sensitive.

We dig into the decision (the terrible, horrible, no good very bad decision) made by the creative team behind our favorite wee-woo show to kill off a main character and speculate on how we think that decision will impact 9-1-1 moving forward. Spoiler: we don't think it was a good idea and we're not afraid to say it

No matter what happens next, 9-1-1 will never be the same again.

Did you know that there are show choir blogs? Neither did we. In S5E11, "City of Angels," we follow New Directions to Nationals of… whatever year this is in canon…to Los Angeles. Mr. Schue recruits Sam to be the New Finn (not to be confused with Blaine, who we all know to be the New Rachel), tasked with keeping up spirit and enthusiasm.

The Hudson-Hummel clan is out in full force with the series' best parents, Burt and Carole, coming along for the ride and finally processing some long-overdue trauma.

Seemingly everyone starts to think about what they'll be doing after graduation (even the ones who aren't graduating), Marley gets some advice from Mercedes, and Blaine gets hit on by his new midgame (wait, did we say that?).

Join us as we journey through Finn's favorite songs and learn the fate of the Glee Club.

Hello not to be That Person but I’m a huge muppets fan (see the url) and Darren Criss was literally in the muppets haunted mansion special a few years ago. Maybe the puppet episode of glee was his audition! Anyway here’s his musical number from that:

Hello, Fire Fam. We're back with another 9-1-1  Mini Series episode because, frankly, too much happened in 8x09 and 8x10 to not talk about.

We have to give it up for Scream Queen of the Aughts, Jennifer Love Hewitt, for fully bringing it during her latest banana nut story line, even if we have critiques about it being a little recycled. We also lament the loss the quirky procedural 911 calls from the early seasons and hope for their return to bring some levity back to the show in the midst of all this drama.

But more importantly, we're here to discuss the Buddie Of It All. We explore the dramatic implications of Eddie's move to El Paso and how it affects Buck, even if Eddie isn't quite ready to truly see what's going on between them. Call us shippers, but the story on the screen certainly seems to be leading us down an old, familiar road. But where does the road end?

Welcome back, #FireFam. Today's 9-1-1 Mini Series bonus episode focuses on two characters who have a lot going on at the moment: Buck and Eddie and buckandeddie. With the recent behind-the-scenes footage, Emily and Alison deep-dive into speculation of what the filming could mean for 9-1-1 season 8b and the characters' futures. (Spoiler spec abounds!). Does this actually mean buddie will go canon? We've got an hour to talk about it.

Your hosts also conduct a nostalgic rewind into another explosive filming night that brought together the entire Glee fandom, and reminisce about how these behind-the-scenes glimpses into the filming process can ignite passionate discussions within the fandom community.

"The footage suggests that we are getting a buddie goodbye in the rain, which is some of the rom-comiest shit I've ever seen in my life."

What's your speculation for 8b?

Have you ever wanted to spend more time in your high school than strictly necessary? If so, this episode of Glee is for you. This is S5E10, "Trio." At McKinley, Tina, Blaine and Sam decide to the most of their last days of the school year by attempting to stage a "senior lock-in."

In New York, Rachel bonds with Elliott, which annoys Santana and sets off even further antagonism between Rachel and Santana and leads to Elliott quitting Pamela Lansbury. Won't somebody stop the fighting?

Fed up with Rachel and Santana (aren't we all?), Kurt announces he's started a new band with Elliott and Dani (remember her?) and they've already booked a gig. Will this help Rachel and Santana get their act together? Probably not permanently.
