More than likely it isn't her after further thoouhgt and re watching episodes. I highly doubt a Banshee would become a werewolf. I think back to the Peter and Lydia stage. I also think that the scene where Merideth allowed Theo to kill her in the dream state was simply to get Lydia to scream. For me the Beats boils down to...Mason, Theo's sister, or somebody we absolutely don't know. Based on how the show has been done in the past...I'm more prone to say it's the later and we've never seen who is behind the Beast.
