Full Recap
Scott is shown at home brushing his teeth. He hears a noise, and comes out with a baseball bat. He is alarmed by an intruder but laughs when he sees it's Stiles.

Stiles tells him about a missing body, but the problem is the officials have only found half the body. The two then decide to go to the Beacon Hill preserve to look for the body. The sheriff, also Stiles dad, finds Stiles and takes him home, but Scott avoids detection. Scott walks back and inadvertently runs into the dead body that was missing. He sees a wolf and starts to run. The wolf bites him. Scott survives the attack then comes out to the road and almost gets hit by a car.

He checks on his body and sees the wolf bite. Scott tells Stiles about the incident. Stiles loves the idea of having a werewolf as a friend. While in class, Scott discovers he has new abilities, like super hearing. Soon, new student, Allison Argent, enrolls in Scott's class. He heard her need for a pen, and turned around to giver her one. He then realizes he heard her need for a pen with his super hearing ability.

Later, Scott uses his powers to eavesdrop on Allison's conversation. He then decides to try out his new powers on the lacrosse team. He discovers with his abilities that he is amazingly good and no one can score on him.

He and Stiles talk again. Stiles jokes about him being a werewolf but then tells him that a full moon is coming up. The two try to retrace their steps of where they saw the dead body. The dead body is no longer there. They are confronted by Derek Hale. Scott doesn't remember who he is, but Stiles tells him his story, about his family being wiped out in a fire. Scott then goes to his after-school job at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic where he is an assistant to the Veterinarian. There's a bang on the door, and Scott sees it is Allison. She tells him about a hurt dog she found that won't let her get close to him. Scott seems to hypnotize him with his werewolf powers, and the dog calms down and lets Scott pet him and care for him. Scott braces the dogs leg, while talking to Allison. After successfully asking her out, he goes home to go to bed, only to wake up in the forest. He has another run in with the wolf who bit him but then runs off and lands in a neighbor's swimming pool.

Scott is confronted by Jackson Whittemore, the captain of the Lacrosse team who thinks he is on steroids. He tells there is no steroid use. Scott has a great lacrosse game and makes the team to Allison's enjoyment. Stiles now takes the werewolf thing seriously and warns Scott about the blood lust werewolves have on a full moon. He tells him to cancel his date with Allison, but Scott isn't having it. He and Allison have a good time, but then Scott has to bail when he sense the werewolf transformation is taking place. He goes back home. Stiles comes to visit him. Scott thinks Derek is the one responsible for all of this, and the dead body in the woods. Scott has his transformation and finds Derek. The two are about to fight, but their quarrel is soon interrupted by a group of werewolf hunters after them. Derek helps out Scott, and the two escape.

Scott meets Allison the next day and meets her Dad who turns out to be one of the werewolf hunters.
