Karen and Natalie are joined by our historian friend Liz to recap Teen Wolf season 3, episode 21 “The Fox and The Wolf.”

Featured Song: “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lynn

– We introduce Liz, who can be reached on Tumblr if you would like to chat more about history!
– One of our fave quotes is totally Team Angel, the others are a bit more introspective.
– How did we find the pacing of this flashback episode?
– Liz weighs in on the historical accuracy regarding Japanese American internment camps, including the difference in attitude of the Japanese people, and the living conditions portrayed.
– How much influence did the supernatural presence of Noshiko have on the other people at Oak Creek?
– Was the riddling soldier seen at the start a red herring?
– We like how Mr Yukimura handles himself. Also, is this how the nogitsune makes his little minions? Possession by flies?
– Malia apparently met up with Scott offscreen. Okay then.
– Are the druids Teen Wolf’s “fortune cookies?”
– MTV allegedly confirmed the Stiles and Malia hookup was reality – we’re not all convinced.
– Mrs Yukimura is apparently 900. Sure, why not? Why did they choose to have Arden play her in flashbacks – making her identical to Kira – and how does her aging work?
– Did she choose to age with her husband? Is it an Arwen and Aragorn situation?
– And Mr Yukimura is cool about Noshiko’s past with poor dear lovely burnt-up Rhys?
– So the Yukimuras have pretty much known about the Pack the entire time, right?
– Derek and Chris are out of jail, thanks to the Sheriff.
– Stiles isn’t sick – how did the nogitsune fake the brain scans?
– What is the Sheriff’s connection to the army? It’s the first we’re hearing of it – also is something in his office significant here?
– If they’re going to break into army records at some point, can we get Danny in on this to hack the government? We miss hacker Danny.
– We revert back to the ever-present “Danny knows everything about everyone” crack theory.
– In the Oak Creek flashbacks – we were expecting the reveal of a new werewolf?
– Was Oak Creek in the same place, or attached, to Eichen House? Was the black market situation realistic?
– We were not really expecting Rhys to get burnt up. What a shame. Does he have Hale blood in him?
– The scene between Allison and Sheriff Stilinski is beautifully touching. “She’s just so good at crying,” Karen says. Meanwhile, Natalie thinks it’s something sinister and manipulative.
– We’re gonna feel bad if the whole Allison thing was totally innocent and we’ve been slagging her off as evil for the whole season.
– What would have happened if the nogitsune had possessed Noshiko, as she intended? What is the difference between BEING a kitsune and being possessed by a kitsune spirit?
– Is the sword magic? Was it forged by kitsune lightning before?
– Noshiko makes Kira zap the sword because she apparently isn’t a “thunder kitsune.” However, we’ve seen her demonstrate electrical power before… haven’t we? With the lightbulb?
– Scott is not having any of this “let’s kill Stiles” nonsense. Also, with all this talk of history repeating itself, is this season going to end with a situation similar to Jackson’s “death?”
– Derek is Stiles’s chessboard king. What does this mean? Also, what could the presence of Chess versus Go in the series represent?
– So everything is the Nemeton’s fault? Again? Thanks a lot, tree.
– Karen has an awful crack theory about a potential long game they may have been playing.
– When did Barrow get that fly-tumor – when did he become one of the nogitsune’s helpers?
– Will we see any stories semi-resolved next week? Episode 10 of 12 is usually when an initial big bad is sorted out and then the final two episodes tackle the bigger bad.
– In our Non Sequitur section, we’re talking cult classic films.
– This weekend, we’re releasing a very special fandom-crossover episode about fanfiction – an interview with Heidi Tandy of Archive of Our Own in celebration of their one million fanworks milestone.
