And everyone thought Kate was dead. Everybody. So, why would the hunters in Mexico think she'd been turned into a supernatural creature? Unless, of course, Kate was in Mexico -- in which case, why would they go to Beacon Hills looking for her, and why would they think Derek would know her whereabouts? I thought the same thing. Also, if it were Kate why would they ask for La Loba if she is really a Nagual? I had to look up the Nagual lore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagual) and I can't figure out why they wouldn't use their own words for her. Surely they differentiate between a werewolf (or she-wolf) and other lore. They ask for a she-wolf in their own language - "la loba" so if she is something other than that why not use their word for it? Sort of like if they had refered to Kira as a fox and not a kitsune, or if her mom had said she was looking for a dark fox instead of a nogitsune. They may mean the same thing but I'm sure Kira's mother would use the japanese word, not the english one. Oh well, I suppose it is what it is and there is no need to argue about semantics, bring on S4!

La loba's english translation is literally she-wolf, but it's also a umbrella term for shapeshifters in spanish mythology, and that's what a Nagual is i.e a shapeshifter.

So if you had your subtitle captions on, Arya would be saying "la loba", the subtitles would say she's saying "she-wolf" when really she's saying "shapeshifter"

Where is the "la loba" where is the "shapeshifter"
