Teen Wolf season 3, episode 17, titled “Silverfinger,” airs next week, and in the promo we see a bit more about the masked figures that are haunting Beacon Hills.

You can watch the 20-second promo for Teen Wolf season 3, episode 17, “Silverfinger,” below. Make sure you leave the lights on!

“They’re demons,” a voice says, as we see shots of the masked men. Their swords are dripping with blood. It sounds as if the voice belongs to the mysterious old man we’ve seen in previous trailers for this half of the season.

“Are you scared?” Scott asks Kira. She doesn’t answer, but she doesn’t look too traumatized, thank goodness. This scene also looks like it could match up with one we saw in that same trailer linked above where she explains to Scott what a Kitsune is. Could she have an idea of what supernatural creature she might be?

There’s also a shot of Stiles looking a little worse for wear as he lies on a hospital bed. Melissa McCall is taking care of him, and it breaks our hearts to see this.

“You don’t fight a force of nature,” the old man continues. “You endure it.” We see the masked men being shot at, but it’s not affecting them. Given that Derek broke one of their necks and they just kept on going, we don’t think these guys are going to be very easy to get rid of.

Kira thinks the masked men are looking for her. As the masked men attack, the werewolves, including Scott and Derek, fight back. Will they be able to fend them off long enough to protect Kira?

Teen Wolf season 3, episode 17, “Silverfinger,” airs next week, February 3, at 10 p.m. on MTV. Don’t miss it!

In the meantime, you can read our recap of the last episode of Teen Wolf, season 3, episode 16, “Illuminated.”

Do you think the masked men on ‘Teen Wolf’ are after Kira?
