MTV’s Season One Finale of “Teen Wolf” Will Leave You Howling for More

Take a monster-sized bite into a show that is, well, literally full of them.

Season One of “Teen Wolf” has almost the same central plot points as those of “Vampire Diaries” and “Twilight”, but with even more teen angst, bloody grittiness, and not to mention a lot more facial hair. Following the trend of the supernatural craze, MTV’s latest television series is different from the usual pregnant teenager stories, but with all the same teenage drama.

Since the first episode, Scott McCall has had to put up with school, after-school activities, relationships, and everything you could imagine the average teenager struggling with. Oh, and he just happens to be a werewolf. So pile trying to make friendly with the neighborhood werewolf Derek Hale (actor), defending his own life while trying to protect the lives of his loved ones, and being hunted by both werewolf hunters and the Alpha werewolf on top of that.

Yep, just your typical average teenager.

By the time the final episode of this season has rolled around, Scott and Stiles are already involved in the war between the hunters and werewolves over the events that occurred during the night of the Hale house fire.

The Alpha, Peter Hale is actively threatening both Scott and Stiles. The safety of Allison Argent and other members of the Beacon Hills community are also threatened by the Alpha’s powerful presence.

But the main cast of teenagers is not the only one dealing with supernatural phenomena. Lydia, having been in the hospital for some time after being bitten by the Alpha is experiencing some freaky side effects that do not include the typical hair and fingernail growth, begging the question:

Just what is she?

At the same time, Allison’s aunt Kate is targeting Scott and Derek as a means of training Allison to be a killer instead of taking refuge in a safer area like she had been instructed to do. By doing this, Kate has put her life and Allison’s in the face of ultimate danger.

So what happens in the final episode of season one of “Teen Wolf”? I can’t say any more than that.

This episode brings a bloody, violent end to the series’ first season. If you’re hunting for a good show to sink your teeth into, I can tell you that “Teen Wolf” will satisfy your hunger.
