Teen Wolf S05E04: "Condition Terminal"

Chores, we all gotta do 'em. Dishes, laundry, mowing the lawn, bottle-feeding baby raccoons, scrubbing the bidet, paying bills, carrying corpses out to a mystical tree stump where you incinerate them with your naked body. From childhood to adulthood, life is just a series of chores and this truth applies even to mysterious supernatural monsters turned sheriff's deputy bodybuilders. Even they must do chores. But in "Condition Terminal," corpse disposal was discussed no fewer than three times, so it's clearly becoming a big problem in Beacon Hills. There's corpses everywhere now! So while everyone was busy asking "Hash tag what is Parrish?" they should have been asking WTF is he even in Beacon Hills for? Because now we know: Parrish is there to carry corpses into the woods and set them on fire with his naked body, which is naked and on fire and naked. No chore is very fun, but this one seems pretty okay, in my opinion. I mean, as far as corpse disposal goes.

Friends, "Condition Terminal" was fun as h*ck. Not only was Parrish naked a ton, but several of the teenagers went to a bisexual night club and there were at least two NEW monsters we haven't encountered before. Add to that some hints of Kira losing control and a hero moment for Brett, and it's hard not to come away from this episode very entertained. What is the opposite of a chore? TEEN WOLF.

Let's talk about it!

We started with a scene of Parrish laying on his sofa daydreaming about his favorite banshee crush, specifically the time she came to his office and tried to light his hand on fire.

Lydia's "test" to find out hash tag what is Parrish revealed only that he couldn't be burned if he concentrated hard enough. It's at this point he admitted to her that he'd had a recurring dream about walking around in the woods with all of his clothes burned off.

He told Lydia that he was drawn to the Nematon stump (she confirmed that the Nematon was probably the reason he was in Beacon Hills to being with), but he didn't mention that his recurring "dream" ALSO involved carrying corpses and placing them on the stump.

He also did not mention that this had happened many dozens of times and sometimes there were piles and piles of dead teens needing to be incinerated on the stump. So uh, yeah. Maybe he is not a Phoenix monster after all, but just a supernatural garbage man. I know what you're thinking, "Hey those are human beings, not garbage." But do you know the content of their characters? Maybe they are bad people! Maybe Parrish is doing a good deed? When it comes to Teen Wolf, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to naked monsters. Let's see how this plays out.

But how weird was it when he mentioned knowing a card trick and it involved two different Queens of Diamonds that looked like Lydia and also one was burned? What did this mean? Was he obsessing over Lydia unhealthily? Does he want to burn his clothes off and carry her into the woods also? Consider my curiosity piqued! (What does piqued mean?)
