DManCO wrote: "Motel California" was a classic example of a Bottle Episode. It was self-contained, referenced past events but has itself not really been referenced since. The character development for Boyd (over his sister Alicia) was pointless because he was slated to be killed off soon anyway. Ironically, Stiles and Lydia could have saved some time and trouble by just leaving him in the tub!

Lol. True. I'm wondering if that wasn't one of the few episodes that actually didn't change from Gage's leaving, because of the development it gave Boyd. Otherwise, your right it was stupid to put it in just to kill him a few episodes later...no, wait...he went after the twins because of Erica...or was that the episode before?
