Gerard is Darach and he's copying the Druids by making ritualistic sacrifices to envoke a God to provide him with a cure for what he currently has... spitting out black goo. And yes I'm serious. lol. Remember he injested mountain ash last season? I've also figured out what Lydia is. What is Lydia? I wanna know

I'm certain that she is a Druid... just what type of druid i'm not sure. One who makes contact with the world of the dead? And can also resurrect people given the correct circumstances?

On another note, remember they keep making references to the oak tree and Lydia was even drawing it at some point? And throughout the season they also reference mistletoe, more than once... I found some articles on wiki talking about the druidic ritual of the oak and mistletoe, and there is also mention of crescent moon, sacrifices (in the same way that the first 6 died) and everything. The articles also mention that mistletoe consumed under these circumstances act as an antidote to all poisons... which was what led me to believe that the darach is Gerard. He wants to be cured of the black goo so he can be strong again to defend himself from Deucalion, who has no doubt come back to Beacon Hills to have his revenge on Gerard (if not all the Argents), in addition to recruiting a new member of his pack, Scott, only to later kill him and absorb his powers.

^ this is what happens when you have too much free time on a Thursday evening... because I figured out all of this yesterday. lol
