The Alpha dosent believe him and has the other two hold him down has he forces Kanima venom salvaged from the pool down Jackson's throat cryptically saying a snake wont be bothered by its own venom.

While most of the class laughs at her Stiles points out she has written "Please someone help me" backwards on the board.

Derek argues immunity is impossible and that the Kanima is just a freak accident that occures from time to time and that a shapeshifter's form reflects their personality. "Even Stiles said she's cold blooded" While Scott may not agree with it they have to kill her for the good of all. Scott lets it slip to Boyd that Derek was hoping to kill Jackson with the bite and the fact he has survived withought turning scares Derek.
