When I first got into Teen Wolf, in Season 3A, I took the story at face value. There was a group of supernaturally gifted teenagers – except for Stiles – and they went on adventures that pitted them against an array of supernatural villains.

The show has since surprised me again and again with the complexity it hides under the surface. Whole scenes haven't happened the way that I remembered them happening. Characters appear and disappear, sets are re-dressed between shots, images reverse, characters start fights I thought others started and were passive when I once found them threatening.

The detail that first jumped out at me came on a rewatch of "Wolf Moon" when I realized a voice spoke to Scott through the water when he plunges into the swimming pool.

Startled, he looks upward, gaze scanning the trees, the only hint to the origin of the voice. If it was Peter, who herded him into the pool, why look into the trees? That seems to leave the Nemeton itself or the trees – the forest itself, broadly – as the speaker. Like most discordant details, it begs an explanation without extending one.
