Especially not with the Hale's and Argent's among the characters. Peter has his own besitary on his laptop. Chris presumably now has everything Gerard had kept in their house. Both families were raised being taught this stuff. There is no plausible reason for them to not be able to spill the beans.

Also, the earlier point about Allison being trained is a good one. When/where exactly is all of this training going on? I mean, I doubt that Allison practiced using a chain to snatch a gun out of somebody's hand inside their apartment!

(Just as an aside, that looks cool, but as anyone familiar with firearms would tell you, the instinctive reponse of the person holding the gun would be to tighten their grip, and pull the trigger. So it would not be a good idea to try it in real life if the gun was already pointed at somebody you cared about.) As far as a Allison's training goes, we know she got a trained in s2. I specifically remember them tying her up and expecting her to make her way back home as the initiation. But a whole month and a half of training would not make her the experienced badass they portray her as. And in 3a, they had 'given up the hunting gig' so her dad certainly wasn't training her then, and she was still pissed at Gerard in a Visionary on top of him being physically ill, so I can't see him helping her. And obviously all the other Hunters in town have already left as we've discussed before. So her awesomeness at such a variety of combats is very strange.

I thought the chain whip thing was strange all around? Where did the chain come from? Did she bring it with her? If so why didn't she just bring a normal whip? Did she find it laying around? If so it's pretty convenient that it happened to be the perfect length, and that she was experienced enough to make it work like a normal whip. All of that on top of the instinct to tighten your grip on the gun and trigger.

Utz yes. We definitely should have gotten a lock on werewolf lore before moving to other shit. I think the chain whip was supposed to be a reference to Scorpion's "Get over here!" from Mortal Combat, since Silverfinger's actor played Shang Tsung.

How many people do you think would actually get the reference? Their main demographic wasn't even alive when the movie came out. I only remember the movie because my brother loved it, and the games so much. And I'm 24 (my brother is 9 years older than I am)
