Special K: ‘Teen Wolf’ Recap: And the lizard king is…

What an interesting episode of Teen Wolf. So the hunt for the Kanima was on with Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) and his little pack of former social rejects who are now ridiculously cool looking. Has anyone noticed how when someone is bitten by a werewolf they suddenly become make-up experts suddenly improved sense of fashion? Turns out for a majority of the episode Derek seems to think Lydia (Holland Roden) is the kanima, and if the poor girl wasn’t bonkers enough it was suddenly made worse with a bunch of wolfs chasing her. The weird photography kid has grown a fascination with taking pictures of Scott (Tyler Posey), turns out every photo shows up with lens flare. Looks like someone else is about to find out someone’s hairy little secret.

Jackson (Colton Haynes)  has been pretty much a douche to everyone the entire episode trying to find out why he’s not a werewolf. Poor Lydia got the blunt of it all. I can’t help but feel sorry for the girl. She’s going bonkers and everyone is either trying to kill her or accuse her of ruining their lives. This just shows that even the popular girls have it rough in high school. On a brighter note she did get to hook back up with Jackson. Is she a glutton for punishment?

I think so. You lay with dogs you’ll catch fleas.

Allison (Crystal Reed) goes head to head with newbie werewolf Erica (Gage Golightly) and puts her hunter skills to use with the boyfriend-stealing bitch. So the big news for this episode?

No shirtless hotties, Scott is still cute, Derek is still brooding and sexy, Allison is growing balls, Lydia is still going bonkers, Stiles continues to be Stiles and the BIG REVEAL is Jackson is the Kanima!

Yep, that’s right. Turns out something in Lydia’s blood may have halted the turning process, and in the end he ain’t a werewolf but an ugly reptilian creature. It’s kinda like Charlize Theron in Monster, except I highly doubt Colton Haynes will be getting an academy award. Were you shocked? I’ll be honest I thought it was to be expected. Now the question is, who was Kanima-Jackson getting or googly eyed with through the car window?

So there we have it, a short but sweet racp of Teen Wolf season 2 episode 5.

Before I go must please insist that we have more sexy shirtlessness in the near future, this episode had virtually no sex appeal. Just say’n. Mwah!
