Notes & Trivia[]
- This episode takes place a little less than a month after the events of "Night School".
- Mister Harris appeared last in "Heart Monitor".
- Danny appeared last in "The Tell".
- Melissa McCall appeared last in "The Tell". She appears next in "Wolf's Bane".
- This is the first time that the alpha werewolf is seen assuming human form. The werewolf's true identity is revealed in "Wolf's Bane".
- In one scene, Scott's eyes turn yellow and his voice deepens as he intimidates the group of bullies into surrendering the whiskey to him. This is a nod to the original Teen Wolf film in which Michael J. Fox's character Scott Howard, uses his werewolf abilities to frighten the proprietor of Tony's Liquor into selling him a keg of beer.
- This episode reveals that Victoria Argent is fully "in the know" about her husband's extracurricular activities as a werewolf hunter. Future episodes will reveal that she is actually the one calling the shots, and is by far the most ruthless member of the Argent family.
Bloopers[]
- Continuity: In this episode, Mister Harris gives his class an economics test. Harris is a chemistry teacher. Bobby Finstock is the economics teacher (in addition to being coach to the lacrosse team).
