Just a fanfiction idea but for some reason I keep having this nagging idea in the back of my mind that Mrs. Tate was out on the road on the night of a full moon because she was leaving him. idk he was just very strange.

With Malia being in the mental hospital this next episode I just wonder why she is there...it didn't really seem to take very long for her to wind up there. Why wasn't she taken to private counseling rather than just being written off and sent away. Somethings off in my opinion. They have made Malia out to be a tragic figure...she didn't know who she was or what she was (I blame Talia for that and thankfully on Afterbuzz Ian did say that Talia did not like Peter so I get the idea that while she justified taking his memory by saying he could corrupt the child that she did it out of spite as well...think about it...she removed his influence over his own daughter but he essentially grew up in her house side by side with her children...what about his influence on them...sorry I just have a beef with her)...anyway Malia didn't know what she was, shifted, killed her mom and sister, and ran around as werecoyote for 8 years...I get the feeling that Daddy Tate is just going to be another tragic part of her life. I did think at one time he might be a hunter but now since Peter is confirmed as Malia's dad (though some are in denial...and who knows maybe rightfully so) I think Mr. Tate may just wind up being a bad daddy (showdown between him and Peter?) would be interesting to say the least...and sorry for rambling. I do it on occasion...okay often lol

Funny, the idea about her leaving him that night was one of the first things to pop in my head too. I do have the feeling he is abusive though. I mentioned it on a different thread, actually.

As far as Malia being in the mental institute, and it being awfully fast, what do you think you would do as a parent if your teenager who had been missing for 8 years told you she was a coyote all that time? You'd think she was crazy and lock her up, especially if she was insistent about it and told her psychologist. Or, she could have people issues. Wary, or extremely violent around people because of her time as an animal. Or, they might just consider a controlled environment the best way to resocialize and reintegrate her. It doesn't seem that odd to me, until we see how she is behaving.

I would definitely love to see some overly violent protective daddy Peter though. It'd be great.
