"Ugh, what the hell is this?" Sheriff Stilinski groans as he takes a bite of his burger
"Veggie burger." Stiles says
"Stiles, I asked for a hamburger." He says.

"Well, veggie is healthier. We're being healthy." Stiles says and he opens a box to see vegetables
"Oh hell... Why are you trying to ruin my life?" He asks
"I'm trying to extend your life, okay? Could you just eat it, please?" He asks.

"I'd worry about if you continue to 'extend his life' he might quicken yours." Rayne says standing up
"I'm gonna go home and then go for a run." She says and leaves
"A run?" Her father asks.

"Her girlfriend told her that she loved her before passing out after a seizure, she's been like that ever since." Stiles says and he nods
"So, tell me what you found out." He says.

🪐

"Well, I wanna die." Rayne says
"It's not that bad." Danny says
"Not that bad, not that bad. Not that bad!" She shouts in a panic.

"She told me she loves me, then passes out." She says
"Maybe I was wrong." He says
"Yeah, like saying I'm sorry is fine but then 'I love you' I didn't get a chance to say it back are you fucking kidding me." Rayne takes a pillow and screams into it.

"On another note what are you wearing at the rave?" He asks and she lifts her head to see him with two tickets in his hand
"Those are expensive, let me give you my share." She says looking for her bag but he stops her
"No, my treat." He says.

"I love you." She says
"I love you too." He laughs.

Rayne's outfit

🪐

"There's got to be some other way to get tickets, right?" Scott asks as they pull up to the school
"It's a secret show-- there's only one way, and it's a secret." Stiles says as they walk
"Well, I got one so I'm fine." Rayne says.

"Hey... Either of you guys know why no one's getting suspended after what happened the other day at school?" Matt asks
"Just forget about it. Nobody got hurt." Stiles dismisses
"I-I had a concussion." Matt says.

"Well, no one got seriously hurt." He dismisses again
"I was in the ER for six hours!" He says
"Hey, do you want to know the truth, Matt? Your little bump on the head is about this high on our list of problems right now." Stiles says lowering his arm to just above the ground.

"Are you okay?" Scott asks
"Yeah, I'm fine now. So, you didn't get any tickets last night, either?" He asks
"Are they still selling?" Scott asks.

"Uh, no, but I managed to find two online. You should keep trying. Sounds like everyone's gonna be there." Matt says and leaves
"I don't like him. Hey, are you sure about this?"
"Last time, whoever's controlling Jackson had to kill somebody because he didn't finish the job. So, what do you think he's going to do this time." Scott says.

"Be there to make sure it happens." Stiles says and they walk to practice.

🪐

"Can anyone tell me where the hell Jackson is and why he missed morning practice?" Coach asks
"I thought I told you to keep an eye on him!" Stiles whispers
"Stilinski! Jackson?" Coach asks.

"Sorry, Coach... I haven't seen him since the last time I saw him." He says
"Oh, and when was that?"
"Last time I saw him... was definitely the time I saw him last." He says."

"Yeah. Again, Danny, tell Jackson no missing practice this close to the championships, okay?" Coach says
"Sure, Coach." Danny says
"That goes for all of you. I should be coaching college." He says and closes the door.

"Sorry, but I only got two myself." Danny says
"What-- do you even have a date yet?" Stiles asks
"Yeah, your sister." Danny says.

"Okay, okay... Hear me out. You give us the tickets, and you devote your life to abstinence, and just--" Stiles says and Danny walks away
"How do you two losers even survive?" Isaac asks holding them by their jerseys.

"What are we supposed to do? No one's even selling." Scott says
"Wait here, boys." He says
"What is he gonna--?" Rayne asks and then winces.

"Ow. Oh, my-- Yup, that's excessive. That'll bruise." Stiles says
"Ow." Scott winces
"Wow, okay..." Stiles says and he slaps the tickets on their chests
"Enjoy the show." He says.

🪐

"Ketamine?" Scott asks
"It's the same stuff we use on the dogs, just a higher dosage. If you can get close enough to Jackson, it should slow him down enough to buy you some time." Deaton says.

"This is some of what you'll use to create the barrier. This part is for you, Stiles-- only you." He says.

"Uh, that sounds like a lot of pressure... Can we maybe find a slightly less pressure-filled task for me? Why can't Rayne do that?" Stiles asks.

"It's from the Mountain Ash tree, which is believed by many cultures to protect against the supernatural. This office is lined with ashwood, making it difficult for someone like Scott to cause me any trouble." Deaton says.

"Okay, so, then, what? I just spread this around the whole building, and then either Jackson or whoever's controlling him can't cross it?" Stiles asks.

"They'll be trapped." He says
"Doesn't sound too hard." Scott says
"Not all there is. Think of it like gunpowder-- it's just powder until a spark ignites it. You need to be that spark, Stiles." Deaton explains.

"If you mean light myself on fire, I don't think I'm up for that." Stiles says and Rayne shakes her head.

"Let me try a different analogy. I used to golf. I learned that the best golfers never swing before first imagining where they want the ball to go. They see it in their mind, and their mind takes over. It can be pretty extraordinary what the force of your own will can accomplish." Deaton says.

"Force of will." Stiles says
"If-if this is going to work, Stiles, you have to believe it." Deaton says and he takes a deep breath.

Rayne's outfit

🪐

"How do I look?" She asks
"If I wasn't gay, I'd fuck you." Danny says
"That's the best complement ever." Rayne says and they walk into the rave.

"There's Erica." Danny says
"And there's that hot guy you danced with at the club." Rayne says and they look at each other
"Gotta go." They say and kiss each others cheek and go.

"Hey." Erica says
"Wanna dance? For the plan." Rayne says and Erica nods and they dance and spot Jackson and they nod and dance and Isaac joins and then Erica kisses Rayne
"Erica." Rayne says but then Erica cuts her off.

"I know what I said. I love you." She says
"I love you too." She says and they both kiss each other then goes back to dancing with them then Jackson stabs his claws into Isaac and Erica and walks away but Rayne gets a hold of the needle and stabs him into his neck.

🪐

"Uh, no, no, no! Just me, it's just me. Don't freak." Stiles says opening the door
"He okay?" He asks
"Well, let's find out..." Isaac says and then flicks his claws and then goes near Jackson but he catches his arms and breaks it.

"God!" He groans
"Okay, no one does anything like that again, okay?" Rayne says
"Oh, I thought the ketamine was supposed to put him out?" Isaac says.

"Yeah, well, apparently, this is all we're going to get. So, let's just hope that whoever's controlling him just decided to show up tonight." Stiles says.

"I'm here. I'm right here with you." Jackson says in a demonic voice
"That's new." Rayne says.

🪐

"Jackson, is that you?" Stiles asks
"Us. We're all here." Jackson replies
"Are you the one killing people?" He asks.

"We are the ones killing murderers." Jackson says
"So, all the people you've killed so far--" Rayne says
"Deserved it." He says.

"See, we got a little rule book that says you only go after murderers..."
"Anything can break if enough pressure's applied."
"All right. So, the people you're killing are all murderers, then?" Stiles asks.

"All. Each. Every one." Jackson says
"Well, who did they murder?" Rayne asks
"Me." Jackson says.

"Wait, what? What do you mean?" Stiles asks
"They murdered me. They murdered me." He says and his eyes change.

🪐

"Okay. All right, more ketamine. The man needs ketamine. Come on!" Stiles says
"We don't have any more." Isaac says
"You used the whole bottle?" Stiles asks and Isaac points to Rayne.

"I didn't know there was a preferred amount." She says and Erica touches her shoulder and they turn to Jackson who is now standing.

"Um, okay, out! Everybody out! Go, go, go, go!" Stiles says
"Okay, find something to move in front of the door..." He says and then Jackson breaks the side of it.

"Well, shit."
