Dad McCall's first name is Rafe, which translates to "shielf wolf" or "counsel of the wolf". Names are said to chosen deliberately for their meaning on TW whenever possible, so there's no telling where Dad McCall's storyline will lead. I hope he'll find out the truth, like Scott's mom. I think it would be cool to see where his and Scott's relationship would go from there and what else develops in his character arc. First of all, he was at the house when the Oni first arrived. In true McCall fashion, he rain into danger and promptly had his ass handed to him. Remember guys, that whole stabbed thing? As for the SUV, it would seem exceedingly strange if he saw nothing; even if it was just a blur of motion.

And his first name is not "Rafe". This is a Skandinavian name, he is Hispanic, and even if his parents decided to go way out there because they liked the name, they didn't. It is confirmed his name is Raphael/Rafael. "Rafe" is just a nickname that Melissa uses.

Thank you for explaining the nickname thing. I don't know why people aren't getting it. His page even has the name in apostrophes, and the only other person it does that with is Stiles, whose name we know is a nickname.

However, we should give them that Melissa's 'choice' in nickname is still significant
