Starting with Jennifer Blake's first sweet-natured appearance at the beginning of Season 3a, it's become excessively difficult to see who likes her and who doesn't, given the sour reveal towards the summer finale that she was actually the ritualistic Darach - arguably one of Teen Wolf's most frightening dark druids yet! But since her failure at killing Deucalion and a slash to the throat (talk about a bad day!), it was shown during the final scenes of the last episode that she struggled back to the Nemeton - the tree which gave her such malevolent powers and attatched her to the blackest forces of magic. Unfortunately, Peter Hale arrived unexpectedly, and when Jennifer realized that he sought to use Scott's new power status to his advantage, she once more 'got the claw' - and in the same spot (ouch!) So.....why bother to bring her up again? After all, dead is dead, right? In the mind of creator Jeff Davis, maybe not. In an interview with Jeff over Jennifer's demise, his initial response was a chuckle, the scratch of his head, and the blunt response that so many lovers of the Darach wanted to hear: simply put, Jennifer is a badass, one of his favorite (and complicated) villains, and that he was actually sorry to see actress Haley Webb go when it was all over. In addition, he referred that Jennifer just so happened to "die" right on top of the Nemeton, possibly implying that she'll use the last little bit of its power to restore herself and remain in hiding until Season 4 or 5, where her complicated love-hate relationship with Derek could take a fresh or unexpected turn. Could Jennifer come back to life once again as a lingering antagonist, or might she actually be the pefect match for Derek with Deucalion exiled, serving as a valuable ally beside Deaton and Mrs. Morrell for all things supernatural (and in her case, possibly darker)?

And speaking of creatures which go bump in the night, it's been no suprise that Beacon Hills serves as the perfect, well, beacon! With Deaton himself having mentioned the unspeakable horrors Scott couldn't imagine, many viewers have questioned what could be worse than what's already been shown - and it leaves much  to speculation! Despite such shows as the now-cancelled Secret Circle and strong shows like The Vampire Diaries, there's been a lot of thought put in on whether or not Davis could put a fresh spin on the ever-so-popular vampires and witches of our era. Having already used druids, Davis himself has admitted to the thought of witchcraft dating far back into the town's ancient history, but has not made a definite decision. In regards to vampires - who are of course the mortal enemies of werewolves!- we know  as die-hard fans of Teen Wolf where Davis gets his inspiration, and it lies in the ancient folktales of vampires who weren't as sexy as today makes them to be! Could Davis twist these fanged blood-drinkers into something his own, or will fans continue to go batty wishing or hating if he will?

As for folklore outside of European boundaries, Davis has shown no fear in bringing to life Kitsune along with a variety of demons which (in the promos) have been described as "unstoppable", "wearing all black" and can be briefly seen in ancient masks that have nothing but "darkness behind them", attacking Ethan and Aiden (OMG NOOO!) and possibly even being the unseen ones responsible for dragging Stiles across the floor! Before we freak out and get nervous that our fave characters are doomed, let's proceed!

Ever since Gerard's defeat at the end of Season 2, we've seen just how bad the results of his Kanima rendevouz went - and it involves that same nasty, oil-colored blood (blood?) coming out from his nose, mouth, and pretty much every opening in his body (that we can see, but thank God we don't!) With Scott having revealed Gerard as the one who made Deucalion blind, and with the vengeful ghost/hallucination of daughter Kate Argent haunting Allison, it'd be no big shocker if this bad seed of a Hunter once more made a grand entrance for himself, again pitting the unnatural against those trained in conquering the unnatural

With all this talk of new and old foes as well as several intriguing possibilities, it's important to remember that the real reason we like this show (and no, I'm not just talking about the abs!) is because of its wide range of fascinating, serious, awesome, deadly and funny characters which have related to us on and off screen. With Season 3 having made the relationship department more complicated than ever, we viewers can simultaneously feel the heart melting sensation and envying quality of Ethan and Danny's romance, dubbed "Dethan" by those who just can't get enough of this adorable pair! Despite the fact that Ethan was sent to get information out of Danny, as ordered by Deucalion and foreseen by Aiden, the Alpha werewolf's hard exterior showed a softer side with the human, whom he came to genuinely care for and want to protect. Although little interaction was shown between the two, it was the little moments that got to us most, such as Danny's first talk with him in the library (you could see the instant chemistry in his eyes) and their passionate shirtless kisses in a hotel (with Ethan visibly wanting to turn Danny so that they could be together in more ways than one). Ethan was also extremely scared for Danny's sake in having to bring his beloved to the hospital, shaken to the point of even telling Scott what Deucalion's ultimate plans were and, later, (after gently fixing Danny's bowtie during a school assembly) telling the human that should anything bad ever happen, go find him immediately. In the end, Ethan turned on Alpha Pack member Kali along with the help of Aiden (whose connections ran deep with Lydia).
