Board Thread:WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD/@comment-11593970-20130706054527/@comment-69.174.58.148-20130725135314

I love this thread! Before reading it I had my guess narrowed down to 5 people, kind of (not super narrow I guess). But now all of you have got me thinking that maybe about a couple more people.

My new second guess is the mystery girl. She's an emissary/druid. Deaton said the Darach was like a good person turned bad. Why introduce her for just one episode? She's been gone since the first episode so there's no issues with conflicting locations. She definitely has a vendetta against Deuc and the Alpha Pack. Why I think it wouldn't be her: She was sent to be Scotts emissary. So It's kind of crazy that she would then try to kill him. But who know's since she turned evil when becoming the Darach, maybe all bets are off.

My third guess is Gerard. Yes I know it would be too obvious, but there are a couple things that make me lean towards him. First and foremost he got the bite and did not die, so thus far we would have to believe that he would have to turn into SOMETHING. Jackson became the Kanima. Lydia was said to be immune to the bite. But other than that you either die or turn. Gerard was poisoned, so he has that black tar oozing out of him which Derek said in season one is a shape-shifter’s body trying to heal itself. Only werewolves and the Jackson have had it. At first I thought they were going to just kill his character off, but they didn’t. Why not? Is he really still there just to tell flashback stories? He always seemed to have a devious plan. So I think that since he is pure evil and a psychopath he couldn’t turn into a werewolf but instead became the Darach. Did anyone notice that the Darach has Blue eyes? If it is a shape-shifter then he would probably have blue eyes since I think he has killed innocent people. Also it was interesting how Gerard told Scott all that he had learned about the Druids from Chris, but told him nothing about the Darach. Plus they said that sometimes the sacrifices are made to prepare for battle. The story line seems to suggest that the battle is with Deucalion. He very obviously has beef with Deuc, and I could see him plotting against him. Some are saying that he’s too weak, but that could be an act. The only reason I think it might not be him is that it just seems too easy.

Fourth Place Ms Morrell. Deaton seemed not pleased with her involvement with the Alpha pack. But at the same time she has been seen doing things to hurt them (like cuing Allison in on when to break the mountain ash circle so that Scott and Derek don’t die). She seems like she doesn’t really want to be their emissary. Also Deaton made it sound like a Darach is a Druid gone bad. Who could that potentially describe better than Ms. Morell? She works at the school so she’d have easier access to the coach’s whistle and the teacher that was kidnapped. Why I think it wouldn’t be her: Why would she give Scott a clue that he should look to Lydia to be able to find Deaton. Why take him in the first place if you help Scott find him? Also she seemed to have been with the alpha pack when the Darach attacked at the motel.

Fifth place is Peter: he’s usually up to no good. So I’ve been waiting for him to do something bad since his resurrection. He always seems to be lurking somewhere. Plus he’s got blue eyes. Why I think it wouldn’t be Peter. I think the battle is with Deuc and I don’t know that Peter has any issues with him. He also seemed to be at the Animal Hospital when the Darach attacked at the motel.

Sixth place is Jennifer: She works at the school (easy access). She just showed up and so did the Alpha pack & the Darach. She seemed to get over the fact that Derek was a werewolf a little too quickly. She wouldn’t be the obvious choice. Why I think it wouldn’t be her: I don’t know who she is or why she would have any reason to go up against Deuc. She seemed to have been with Derek when the Darach attacked at the motel.

I left my first place choice for last because I have the least to say about it. I think it’s probably either no one that we’ve seen yet or someone not otherwise important to the story like Matt from season 2.In the first season I think the writers really wanted us to think that Deaton was the Alpha. Second Season I think they wanted us to believe Lydia was the Kanima. This season to me everything points to Gerard. So I’m guessing they’re throwing us off again. I think they’ve given us a couple clues to the correct person, but they’ve been so subtle that we haven’t noticed. I’m also thinking what Lydia saw was just a vision and the Darach wasn’t physically there. If not then most of the people on my list have alibis.

As for the other people mentioned, I don’t think it’s Deaton, because he explained to Styles what the Darach was. I don’t see him doing that if he himself is the Darach.

I think Lydia is a Druid/emissary. Also she saw the Darach at the motel.

Chris Argent seems to know a lot about Druids, but I don’t think he knows much about Deuc or that he would have risked Allison getting hurt at the Motel. Also he would have been at the fight scene and the motel at the same time.

I think Mrs Argent, Lydia's mother, and Danny are good guesses ideas too though!
