21. Stiles may find love.
And it’s about time, right? Right. But…he may be finding love in all the wrong places. No one ever said the writers didn’t like to torture us.
Stiles will, in fact, be getting closer to some girls other than Lydia this season. But, and here we quote Jeff Davis, “While other teenagers just discover the pain of heartache, Scott and Stiles discover dead bodies.” Of course they do. But besides that, we’re happy Stiles isn’t going to be the guy who is perpetually in love with just one girl. And while we don’t think he’ll ever truly get over Lydia, we do like the idea of him trying.
20. Romantic Derek?
This kind of goes along with reason #22, but we think it deserves a spot on its own. The idea of Derek finally relaxing enough to become romantically involved with a girl is kind of beyond belief, but we’ve been promised, and we’re holding the writers to it.
As with any relationship, we’re sure things are going to get complicated. Will she be a werewolf? Will she know about werewolves? And, of course, will Derek have to protect her against the Alpha Pack? (Okay, we can probably answer that last one.) But still. The idea that Derek could be acting more like a normal human being is too good to pass up.
19. Lydia finally being in on the secret.
This has been a point of annoyance for a lot of fans. Scott, Stiles, Allison, and Jackson all knew about werewolves and Kanimas and hunters, and yet they never told Lydia, who is probably the smartest person to ever pass through Beacon Hills.
But that’ll change in season 3. In the last season, she was finally let in on the secret. And we’re sure she’s going to be a huge source of information. If she can handle the craziness of the supernatural world, she’ll be an asset to the other characters. Let’s just hope that knowledge doesn’t put her in danger. (Who are we kidding? Of course it will.)
18. More about Deaton and Morrell.
Because we need to know who these guys really are, like, yesterday.
Dr. Deaton, the vet, has helped Scott and his friends on more than one occasion. The most recent of which was when he helped Scott devise a plan to take down Gerard. It’s also been mentioned that he used to help out the Hale family.
The guidance counselor Morrell, on the other hand, seems to have been hindering their progress. She did, after all, mistranslate the Latin article about the Kanima. Was it on accident? Maybe, but we’ve been hearing whisperings that maybe she isn’t as noble as Deaton is.
17. A new sport.
The lacrosse scenes have become a bit of an inside joke with Teen Wolf fans. All of the drama seems to be connected with the games, and these characters take their sport very, very seriously. That’s not a bad thing, per se, but many fans will be happy to know we’ll be getting a new sport this season.
That sport is cross country. Perhaps it’s not as violent and dramatic as lacrosse, but it’s sure to prove exciting. We’re positive it’ll bring Scott, and maybe even his friends, in closer contact with at least one or two members of the Alpha Pack this season. Besides, variety is the spice of life and all that.
16. Young Derek and young Laura.
If fans are having trouble waiting for season 3 in general, then they’re practically foaming at the mouth for episode 3×08. This is the episode that will, hopefully, answer a lot of questions. We’ll learn more about Derek, perhaps more about the hunters, and finally get an answer as to why certain werewolves have different eye colors.
Most exciting yet is that the flashback will be taking place when Derek is supposedly 14 or 15 years old. That means we’ll be getting young Derek and Laura Hale! Not only are we excited to finally get some real scenes from Laura, we’re excited to see Derek as a charismatic athlete who doesn’t have the chip on his shoulder he does now.
15. More Danny.
Because we seriously need more Danny. Maybe he won’t be in on the big secret, but he’ll definitely be on the outskirts. One half of the Alpha Pack twins will have his eyes on Danny, so who knows what could happen.
Danny has always sort of been there, but not quite on the same page as everyone else. One of his lacrosse captains was a werewolf, his best friend was a Kanima, and his best friend’s girlfriend is some weird immune creature that sees a dead guy that nearly killed her the year before. And maybe Danny won’t know the full truth this season, but we have a feeling he’ll be getting closer than ever.
14. A more understanding Chris Argent.
At the end of season 2, Chris Argent crossed his father to help Scott and Isaac figure out how to save Jackson and stop Gerard. His sister was killed in season 1 and his wife killed herself in season 2 after being bitten by Derek. All he truly has left is his daughter, and after the end of season 2, it would come as no surprise if Chris recognized that there’s more to life than a vendetta against the werewolves.
In fact, at the beginning of season 3, Chris and Allison will have hung up their hunting gear and are trying their best to stay away from the supernatural world. While that’s obviously going to prove hard to do, we think Chris is going to be more sympathetic to Scott’s plights.
13. A freaking Alpha Pack.
Because who really saw that coming at the end of season 2? We all thought one Alpha was bad enough, but a whole pack of them? Season 3 is going to be intense if we have to deal with five more Alphas. And we’re sure they’re going to prove nefarious.
Deucalion is the Alpha Pack leader. Kali is the dangerous female Alpha. Then there are the twins. And Ennis, the brutish final Alpha. Supposedly they have Betas as well (we’re of the opinion Jeff Davis was trolling us when he said they don’t have Betas after it was announced they do). And their intentions are going to be anything but pure.
12. A (somewhat) normal Allison.
Allison kind of went crazy at the end of season 2, didn’t she? Like, Kate-and-Victoria-crazy, which is never a thing to aspire to.
But season 3 will include a redemption arc for Allison. She and her father have hung up their hunting gear, she’s broken up with Scott, and they’ve been away from Beacon Hills for a couple of months. This is all so she can get her head on straight. We know it’ll be difficult for her to not help Scott and her friends when they come up against the other werewolves, but we hope situations like that won’t be a trigger for Crazy! Allison to return in full force.
11. Boyd’s background.
Boyd’s been an interesting character to watch as he went from normal teenager to werewolf. He didn’t go through the same arrogance-infused craziness Isaac and Erica did. Instead, he’s sort of been in the background, (mostly) willing to do what Derek has asked of him.
Season 3 might see a change in all of that. He’s going to be upset about the loss of Erica, and still struggling to control his werewolf abilities. Most interesting, however, is the fact that we will be learning more about him in season 3, including what happened to his sisters.
