Another Teen Wolf article as promised. This was supposed to be the last of the episode award articles, but it was far too long. So today we have the rest of the episode specific awards and tomorrow, the overall ones for the last 6 episodes of 3A. We've almost made it to finish line folks. 3B is in sight and I know it is going to be quite the ride. Don't forget to add your own thoughts in the comments below. Happy New Teen Wolf Week!

Best reason to watch - werewolf fight
Best Action - Kali vs. Derek
MVP - maps
Best reason to fast forward - the closet and Duke/Kali monologues
Best save - Melissa medical MacGyvers Danny
Biggest ick - tie - Danny vomits / Scott becomes an alpha via the superiority of his soul's moral fiber
Least Helpful - Deaton doesn't give Scott any helpful Darach info even though he's about to be taken
Biggest Lesson - every genre show hero needs a backup generator
Characters who need more screen time - all 3 of the parents - they rocked this episode
Biggest "what the heck" - spy music playing when Stiles enters Danny's hospital room
Most Likely to Get Fired - any principal running a high school with this little security
Best Cameo - Erica
Worst Cameo - Gerard
Best Quotes:
1. Lydia: "Sweetheart, my last boyfriend was a homicidal lizard so I think I can handle a werewolf."
2. Stiles: "I can't…I can't lose both of my parents alright? Not both of them." Scott: "You're right." Stiles: "No I'm not. I'm not right. I'll tell him." Scott: "I'll help you."
3. Melissa: "Yeah well I'm not going to be anyone's human sacrifice today so both of you get your butts to school."
4. Isaac: "Boyd and I are…uh, incredibly and unbelievably sick." Derek: "With what? Brain damage."
5. Danny: "Why would I dream about you going through my stuff?" Stiles: "I don't know that Danny, okay; it's your dream. Take responsibility for it. Shut up and go back to sleep."
3.08 - Visionary: Grade: D (Best I can say is that it fulfilled its purpose)
Biggest reason to fast forward - anything that wasn't action, Allison, or Talia (the episode feels 3 days long)
Best action - shot through the throat with an arrow
Sickest moment - firework arrows to the eyes
Best reason to watch - tie - Talia / the druid-werewolf exposition

Most ludicrous - arrow catching…on any show ever
Best Manipulation - Allison totally plays Grandpa Evil - woo hoo!
Best moment - Scott threatens Grandpa Evil
Best Quotes:
1. Deaton: "It's true. The Argents have a matriarchal leadership." Talia: "Actually I was speaking about the fact that he's a complete psychopath. I mean the man cuts people in half with a broad sword."
2. Stiles: "She's an emissary too." Peter: "For the alpha pack." Stiles: "Our guidance counselor! Why the hell don't you people tell me any of this stuff, huh? I shared some really intimate details with her."
3. Derek: "My eyes, they're different." Talia: "Different but still beautiful. Just like the rest of you."
4. Gerard: "Don't be so sure. You'd be surprised how far some people would go to get rid of someone like Deucalion." Allison: "Or someone like you."
5. Stiles: "What was he like?" Peter: "A lot like Scott actually. A lot like most teenagers - unbearably romantic, profoundly narcissistic, tolerable really only to other teenagers."
3.09 - The Girl who Knew Too Much: Grade - A
Best Awww scene - Derek tells Cora he won't leave her alone
Best reason to fast forward - Cora

Best Quotes:
1. Blake (and every teacher on the planet): "Some days I just want to take a sledgehammer to that bell."
2. Lydia: "I don't know why I'm the one that keeps finding the bodies. Maybe if I just stop trying to fight it, I'd find them before it happens…maybe with enough time for someone like you to do something about it." Scott: "You get me the time and I'll do something about it, I swear to God. I will."
3. Isaac: "Hey just a thought. Maybe right now isn't the best for a little family meeting. There's still one more teacher."
4. Lydia: "Okay fine, I'm psychic." Blake: "You're psychic?" Lydia: "I'm something!"
5. Stiles: "Okay first of all I cannot believe that we've gotten to the point where a sentence like, 'What if the Darach was an emissary to the Alphas?' actually makes sense to me."

Lesson from screencaps - green emergency lighting flatters no one
Least Appropriate Comment - Isaac talking about Blake being hot
Best Quotes:
1. Stiles: "Now I'm thinking maybe you were right. Um maybe, maybe we are pretty much useless. Maybe all we really do is show up and find the bodies. I don't want to find my father's body."
2. Peter: "I personally I think if we keep letting them beat the living cr** out of us, they'll tire and give up."
3. Melissa: "You're him aren't you?" Duke: "Him?" Melissa: "The bad guy." Duke: "You have no idea."
4. Stiles: "Scott. Scott, don't do this. Don't go with him." Scott: "I don't know what else to do." Stiles: "No just…Scott, there's got to be something else, okay? We always…we always have a plan B." Scott: "Not this time."

4. DoucheFed: "You think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm." Stiles: "If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid."
