OMFG, clearly this episode was crafted just for me. Where do I start?
How about with Parrish and Lydia's foreplay session? Pardon me, sparring session. I don't know how I got the two confused. So among other things, I learned that Parrish can work a tank top. We all know that clothing and hunks are like oil and water, but this episode made a compelling case that sports outfits can be an exception. Remember that part where Parrish wrapped Lydia in his arms—sorry, those immaculately sculpted instruments of pain and pleasure and law enforcement and great cooking—and she just about melted into him? Yeah, I can empathize with that. Don't mind me bro, just gonna lean my warm bod on your warm bod for a second. Exercise is hard. No, you can keep those hands where they are. We're good here.
Liam also discovered how to fill out a tank top, but we won't talk about that because he is still a hunkling who has yet to emerge from his chrysalis. Good for Liam, he will be well prepared for his debut on the world stage as a full grown hunk. Is it time for Season 6 yet?
Another visit to the bisexual club of danceful hornmaking? Teen Wolf, you spoil me. I appreciated the part where bar hunk shot down tat guy. Let's be honest, on a show with perfect beings like Parrish and that other character I can't think of right now, you've got to put your best abs forward.
Hmm, what else? I guess maybe that's it. I thought there was something else to talk about, but now that we come to it, I can't recall what it might be. Just give me a second to jog my memory.
Oh yeah! I loved the callback to Scott's asthma issues. The fact that even a True Alpha can have such an ordinary condition makes him much more relatable and sympathetic. The scene where he had an asthma attack in the classroom was a nice chance for his harsh biology teacher to show she has a heart, while giving Liam an opportunity to be a good friend and prove to Hayden that he's not a jerk. Good stuff.
No wait, that wasn't it...
OK! This episode gave some serious attention to Liam and Hayden's storyline. My favorite scene of theirs was the competition on the lacrosse field. The playful tone brought me back to the very first season of this show. What a great example of wordless character building. And not a single lead character from the early seasons in sight. This is what Price Peterson was talking about several recaps ago when he praised Teen Wolf for letting secondary characters carry full scenes, proving that this show has such a rich world and well developed cast that it can work even without the characters we've known the longest.
I still have the nagging feeling I'm forgetting something. Almost got it. Nearly there...
Oh, that's right,
Theo. ARE YOU FOR REAL WITH THAT BODY AND FACE THOUGH? God damn! Pump my body like one of your barbells you majestic stallion! Take me you golden animal!
Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggh!
My pelvis just exploded, but don't worry about it. That's what the tarp under my chair was for. Let's talk about what really matters right now: that peerless piece of man right up there. It's fair to say that every moment of this season has been leading to that pivotal scene, where stars wheeled overhead, time and space turned to liquid, and a new cosmos was born; luminous where ours is dark. And this realm of celestial infinity awoke to itself, and when it peered into our universe it saw many hunks, and perceived in them a pattern it could perfect. And after uncounted eons of labor, that cosmos folded its shimmering spaces, and took on its final shape, smaller yet beautiful. And it deigned at last to enter our world. And it chose a name. And that name was Theo.
At least I think that's how it went.
In my opinion this episode was OK. How about you guys?
