"I'm not supposed to tell anyone." Lydia says

"Come on, anyone who ever says "I'm not supposed to tell anyone" is always dying to tell someone, so tell us!" Stiles begs

"Why do you wanna know?"

"We can't tell you that." Brooke says

"Then I'm not telling you."

"But you are telling me that you could tell me something if you wanted to tell us?"

Lydia and Brooke frown. Lydia scoffs, "Was that a question?"

"It felt like a question." He says scratching his head

"Well- Tell me if this feels like an answer. No." Lydia says. Brooke and Stiles groan as they continue following her.

"Lydia! Lydia, come on! Ly- wait!" Stiles tries, but is pushed into a wall

"Oh my god." Brooke exclaims

"Ow! Ah, ah, hey, Erica."

"Why are you asking Lydia about Jackson's real parents?" Erica says

Stiles looks down at Erica's hand noticing her claws, "Why are you bringing out the claws on camera?" Erica looks up toward the camera before finally letting go of Stiles, "That's right. You wanna play Catwoman? I'll be your Batman."

He pushes past her toward the stairs. Erica turns to them, "If you're wondering about Jackson's real parents, they're about half a mile from here. In Beacon Hills cemetery."

The twins eyes go wide as Erica makes her way down the hall. The two quickly follow after her.

"Do you know how they died?" Brooke asks

"Maybe. If you tell me why you're so interested."

"Um-" Brooke stammers as she looks to Stiles

Erica stops, "It's him, isn't it?"

"What? Who? Him who?" Stiles asks

"The test didn't work, but it's still him. It's Jackson." Erica says continuing down the hall. Stiles jaw goes slack as the two stand there.  He stumbles after Brooke as she follows Erica toward the locker rooms.

"You can't tell Derek, okay? There's a lot more to this that you don't know about. And just because you got the Alpha bite makeover doesn't give you a license to go around destroying people." Brooke explains

"Why not? That's all anybody ever used to do to me. I used to have the worst crush in the world on you." She says pointing to Stiles. His brows furrow, "Yeah, you, Stiles. And you never once even noticed me." Stiles looks down past her, "Exactly how you're not noticing me right now."

Brooke steps aside and notices the water leaking from the boys locker room. Next thing she knew, the door bursts open and Scott falls to the ground. Jackson walks out next and immediately begins choking him. Erica and Stiles step up and pull them apart. Brooke pulls Allison to the side as she walks out of the room next.

"What the hell's going on?" Mr. Harris yells, "Hey! Enough! Enough. What do you idiots think you're doing? Jackson! Calm down!  Mr. McCall, you wanna explain yourself? Stilinski!"

"You dropped this." A student says passing over the tablet. Mr. Harris snatches it from him.

"You and you-" He starts as he points to Jackson and Scott before turning to everyone else, "actually- all of you- Detention. Three o'clock."

Brooke groans as Mr. Harris walks off.

The day ended and Brooke walked with her brother and Scott to the library for detention. The students spread across the room with Allison, Jackson, and the other student, Matt, at one table. Scott, Stiles, and Erica at another with Brooke opting to sit at another table by herself.

"Oh, uh- we can't be in detention together. I have a restraining order against these tools." Jackson says

"All of these tools?" Mr. Harris says

"No, just us tools." Stiles sighs pointing between himself and Scott

"Fine. You two, over there." Mr. Harris says pointing to Brooke's table. The girl rolls her eyes as the two boys take a seat.

"I'm gonna kill him." Scott says

"No, you're not. You're going to find out who's controlling him and then you're gonna help save him." Stiles tries

"No. You were right, let's kill him."

"Oh- No." Stiles mumbles, "Hey. What if it's Matt? I mean, this whole thing comes back to the video, right?"

"Danny said that Matt was the one who found the two hours of footage missing."

"Exactly! He's trying to throw suspicion off himself."

"So he makes Jackson kill Isaac's dad, one of Argent's hunters, and the mechanic working on your jeep?" Brooke says

"Yes!" Stiles exclaims

"Why?" Scott frowns

"Because-" Stiles sighs, "he's evil."

"You just don't like him."

"The guy- Bugs me. I don't know what it is. Just look at his face."

Brooke and Scott turn to look at Matt who offered chips to Jackson. Brooke nods her head, "I get it."

Scott turns back to Stiles, "Any other theories?"

"I have to go to the bathroom." Jackson says abruptly as he stands from his seat

"Are you all right? Hey, you don't look so good." Mr. Harris asks

"I just need to get some water." He says walking out

"No one leaves their seats." Mr. Harris says following him

As soon as the door shuts, Scott and Stiles jump up from their seats. Brooke letting out a scoff as she follows them to Erica's table.

"Stiles says you know how Jackson's parents died." Scott says

Erica smirks, "Maybe."

"Talk."

"It was a car accident. My dad was the insurance investigator, and every time he sees Jackson drive by in his Porsche, he makes some comment about the huge settlement he'll be getting when he's 18."

"So not only is Jackson rich now, but he's getting even richer at 18?" Brooke says

"Yep." Erica nods

"There's something so deeply wrong with that." Stiles says

"You know what? I could try to find the insurance report on my dad's inbox. He keeps everything." Erica says pulling out her computer

"Scott McCall, please report to the principal's office."

Each of the teens look to Scott in confusion as he gets up and walks out to the office.
