To some of you, this is going to be just as simple as figuring out a Blues Clues mystery.
For others, it will be just as difficult as figuring out a Blues Clues Mystery.
I don’t know why people think absolute secrets exist in the Teen Wolf Universe – they don’t.
People also think that what happens in Beacon Hills is somehow unique in this universe.
It is not.
Jeff Davis summed it up pretty well in our recent interview.
Jeff Davis: I remember seeing things, online people would comment about how Beacon Hills has a
nightclub now or Beacon Hills has a really large police station.
I'm sitting there going, there's not an invisible barrier around Beacon Hills. They can drive to the next town
or the next city.
Paul Rea: Not to mention, Northern California does kind of sprawl like that. Jeff Davis: Yeah.
Paul Rea: There is a bit of sprawl between Redding and those towns up there.
Jeff Davis: Exactly. Paul Rea: So it's not that surprising. Jeff Davis: Yeah.
So, how did people outside Beacon Hills, people like Deucalion,
learn about the exciting goings on, the raging Alpha, the omega kid who brought the alpha
down with a bunch of high schoolers, the lizard man stories?
Gossip is the easy answer – but since some people just won’t accept easy answers – I’ve
used my imagination to track one particular story and how it spread throughout this region
and even to another country.
Here’s how the story of the new Hale alpha spread all over through just a few people
-
In early February 2011 – Sean Walcott’s brother Michael reads about a series of “animal
attacks” around Beacon Hills.
He’s wondering about if he can get away with picking up a tasty snack during the chaos.
Yes, there’s plenty of humans for food in the house – but sometimes you just really
need to hunt and catch a meal to feel satisfied.
He then ran across Beacon Hills Trumpeter’s reprinting of the grainy surveillance image
of the “animal” coming out of the Video 2*C store.
Michael immediately recognized the blurry image as an insane alpha werewolf.
The stuff of scary stories from when he was a kid.
If you ever wondered what scares a baby wendigo?
It’s big scary monster werewolves.
His appetite suddenly quashed – he decides he should tell his dad about it.
So Michael tells David Walcott about the insane werewolf in town.
David says it’s none of their concern, they’re well hidden and have a good setup in Beacon
Hills – there’s no reason for worry.
But his confidence in their concealment doesn’t keep him from approaching a trusted friend
at work – David confides his fear of this new werewolf with another wendigo he knows
and both men wonder if they might all be exposed.
Jefferson Chambers is a truck driver lives in Hill Valley and drives a big rig up and down the I-5.
He conceals himself pretty well at home but isn’t as paranoid as the Walcotts.
The day he learns of Beacon Hills new alpha, his route takes him north toward Redding.
When he stops in for coffee at his favorite diner in Cottonwood, he tells the story to
a werewolf waitress that he knows.
Don’t call Darla Wright an Omega – she’s estranged from her family pack, they live
in Oregon, but she’s no omega.
Since nothing ever happens in Cottonwood, she’s fascinated by the story of the big
powerful new alpha.
When she hears Beacon Hills, it triggers a memory of something her little sister Trina
told her a while back.
Trina Wright married into a Brazilian pack two years prior.
During her break, Darla facetimes wondering if she remembered right – that Trina had
a friend down there who was from Beacon Hills.
Trina’s eyes go wide at the mention of the town and the wild alpha and she immediately
calls her friend Cora.
The pair met during carneval in 2010 and hit it off immediately – in addition to their
shared supernatural situation – Trina and Cora bond over their love of the telanovela
Trays Ear-muhs.
Trina is the only person Cora has told about what happened to her family back in Beacon
Hills in 2005.
Trina’s story leaves her stunned, Cora immediately gets it in her head that this new alpha must
be a Hale.
Trina, trying to be hopeful and supportive, agrees with this assessment.
Cora: All those rumors I heard,
a powerful new alpha., one of the Hales, building a pack.
Do you know how long I waited to hear something like that?
Meanwhile – back in the states, Jeff Chambers is up the road at his final stop in Anderson.
While waiting for the truck to be unloaded, Jeff runs into Robert…
Robert something, Jeff can’t remember his name but knows he’s the alpha of a small
local pack in the area.
Rob pretends to be unimpressed by the news but his scrotum tightened reflexively in fear.
Rob is then approached by this guy who overheard the conversation.
He tries his best not to be bigoted, but this down on his luck omega stinks loudly.
He tries to brush him off saying he doesn’t having any cash – but the unhoused werewolf
just wants to know one thing – where is this new Alpha.
Chris: You're not from here, are you? Omega: No.
No, I came...
I came looking for the alpha. I heard he was here, that's all.
