Karen and Natalie recap Teen Wolf season 5, episode 6, "Required Reading."

Featured Song: "Freaks" by Timmy Trumpet & Savage

- Is there a bit of foreshadowing in one of our funny quotes?
- The opening scene is repeated later - do we like this as a device? We love the scene itself, anyway.
- Malia and Melissa save the day, and we appreciate Melissa's mom-yelling.
- Stiles would like everyone to stop talking about Donovan, thank you very much.
- Malia and Sheriff work out that there must be a connection between the chimera victims. But what's the pattern?
- How is Stiles handling (or not handling) what happened last week?
- Parrish training Lydia is all kinds of cute and hot. NOW KISS.
- Was Theo shaming Scott about his pack? He knows how to play every person.
- Did Valack have malicious intentions in making them read the book? Or was he really trying to help?
- Stiles and Malia are lying to each other, and Theo knows the truth for both of them. Uhoh.
- Why does Malia feel the need to hide what she saw about the Desert Wolf?
- Lydia's flashback was pretty nasty - was her grandmother involved last time the Dread Doctors came around?
- Liam and Mason aren't reading the novel - are they keeping the younger kids out of it on purpose?
- We still don't like how Scott is treating Kira, and Theo is playing into that.
- What even is that new chimera eating the electrical wires?
- What does Theo actually want - does he want Scott to himself, or does he want to take him down?
- Natalie has another Isaac fantasy.
- Scott's flashback is awful and tells us why he grew up wanting to be a vet.
- He's shocked by the return of his asthma, which would have been funny if it wasn't so stressful.
- How did Liam know Scott was the one in trouble?
- We learn about Liam and Hayden's childhood issues, finally.
- We kind of like Brett as a character on the outskirts.
- What's Theo playing with Malia? Is he messing with her, or is this a Ward and Skye situation?
- Why, why, why is Scott confiding in Theo and no one else? They discover more about Kira together.
- The Stiles flashback is the first time we see him interact with his mother and it's not very fun.
- "I forgot she was meant to show up in this episode... I said some very bad words." - Karen
- This is just so, so sad.
- Theo kills the chimera that attacked Stiles. His eyes stay yellow - for now. The mystery continues.
- BUT HE KNOWS ABOUT DONOVAN WHAT.
- Are you shipping Liam and Hayden yet? Liam trying to win her approval is soooo cute.
- Why does Lydia hear Hayden's name in the surgery flashback?
- What kind of chimera/supernatural being is she, and why did Liam suspect her?
- Her boss is a douchecanoe.
- The season is close to finished! Karen wants Teen Wolf to run every week forever.
- We read some listener feedback and discuss our #deadkaren2k15 tag on Instagram.
