Brett hadn't come home that night, which left Lori extremely worried. She knew how broken Brett had been feeling the last few days and she knew it would take a toll on his mental health. So when she saw him that morning she immediately brought him into her embrace. "Where were you, I was worried sick." She tells him as she lightly punches his chest.
"She doesn't love me." He whispers leaving Lori confused. "Who, who doesn't love you?" Lori asks him as she notices the tears fall from his face. "Jules...she doesn't love me. Hell, she doesn't even remember me." Brett tells her. "I thought she died...The Dread Doctors killed her." Lori tells him as he falls to his knees, crying into her chest.
"You know, I always wondered what being in love felt like. What was so special about it, that everyone wanted to experience it. I thought about it all the time, I thought about what it was like. And I would watch all these people around me fall in love only for them to fall apart later. So really what was so special about falling in love." Brett begins as falls to his knees. "But something about Jules made me want to fall in love. I don't know what it was, but she was like this beacon of light that could light up even the darkest of places. And for some weird reason, she chose to let me love her. But look where love has brought us." Brett finishes as Lori hugs him tighter.
"If Jules truly loves you, then she'll remember you eventually. But you can't give up on her, obviously somethings been done to her, and if you want her to remember, you can't give up. I know that the last few days have been painful, but you need to fight." Lori tells him as leans against him.
"Fight for her."

"Who found them?" Stiles asks his Dad, the group being at the hospital after rescuing Kira from the Skinwalkers and going there after finding out that a bunch of bodies had been found. "Argent. And he said the Doctors were down there. He also said you guys might know what this thing is." Stilinski tells them.
"We've got a theory." Scott answers him as he tilts his head. "It's a slightly terrifying theory." Stiles adds as he scratches his head. "Well, the ME said that victims were killed somewhere else and then dumped in those tunnels." Stilinski informs them. "Hey, what if the Dread Doctors are hiding the bodies." Scott suggests. "Why would they do that?" Kira asks him. "Maybe they're covering for it. Protecting it like a parent would." Stiles answers for him.
"Protecting what?" Stilinski asks him. "A werewolf." Scott tells him. "It's called the Beast." Kira adds. "We know. Horrifying." Stiles says. "We better figure out what we're gonna call Parrish." Stilinski says knowing how Parrish was struggling with his nightmares.
"Because it looks like his dream is coming true."

"By order of the Sheriff, a county-wide curfew goes into effect tonight at sundown. All after-school activities are canceled until further notice. Students should go directly home at the end of the school day." Jules hears over the intercom as she walks through the school halls, turning the corner only to bump into Scott. She tried walking away before he could say anything but he ended up grabbing her arm and pulling her back.
"What has he done to you?" Scott asks her remembering the way her eyes glowed red that night at the communication towers. "I don't really think it matters Scott. Theo told me what you did, what you all did. You left me to die and all for what, for Liam who only ended up trying to kill you?" Jules says with anger laced into her voice.
"Is that what he told you?" Scott asks her feeling his anger rising within him. "Yes as a matter of fact and I know he wasn't lying because I could hear his heartbeat. God I cant even look at you right now." Jules finishes before releasing her arm from his grip and walking away. Scott was gonna try and call her name until Stiles approached him from behind. "Did you figure out what's wrong with her?" Stiles asks him as he notices Scott clenching his fist.
"No, but Theo's done something to her memories. She thinks we all abandoned her. I think Theo made her forget so he could manipulate her and pin her against us." Scott tells him as he leans against the wall. "Have you told your Mom?" Stiles asks him knowing how devastated Melissa was. "I don't know how to tell her. I mean I can't just blurt it out." Scott tells him.
"She's gonna find out Scott and it would be better if it came from you. I would know. " Stiles tells him before walking to his locker, leaving Scott in his thoughts.

After her encounter with Scott, Jules left school as she didn't want to have another encounter with him. She just went where her legs took her and she ended up in the forest once again. But this time she realized where she was exactly. She was at lookout point and she remembered coming here all the time to look at the stars.
The thing she didn't realize was that Hayden was there too after an argument with Liam. "Why is it we always find each other in the woods?" Hayden laughs out as she approaches her, Jules laughing as she continues to look at the scenery in front of her. "Do you know who Brett is?" Jules asks Hayden as she turns to look at the darker haired girl. "No...why do you ask?" Hayden says as she stands next to Jules, gulping as she looks at the scenery.
"Last night when I went on my walk he was following me. He kept telling me to remember him and that he loved me." Jules explains to Hayden. "Well what did you do?" Hayden asks her. "I told him that he probably had me mixed up with another girl. But the thing is I felt really bad about it. But I don't even know him so why should I feel bad." Jules rants to her.
"The last few days have just felt...abnormal I guess you could say. None of this feels real, it's like everything is out of place. My surroundings seem unknown to me even though I see them everyday. Even the people who I thought were my friends don't seem the same. But everyone keeps telling me that this is my life, so why doesn't it seem normal." Jules continues to rant.
"There's something missing, and I need to figure out what it is."

When Scott made it home he expected it to be empty as usual. But when he saw Melissa looking through their mail he almost dropped his helmet. "Hey I thought you had an extra shift." He says to her as he hugs her. "Yeah well I needed a break from everything." Melissa tells Scott making his heartbeat quicken. He knew he couldn't keep Jules a secret forever even though he desperately wished he could.
"I need to tell you something, and I need you to not freak out." Scott starts as Melissa stands from her seat. "I don't know how he did it, or what he's done to her. But Jules is alive Mom." Scott says as Melissa begins to feel tears well in her eyes. "All I know right now, is that Theo has some sort of influence on her, I think he's wiped her memory somehow. I wanted to tell you sooner but I just didn't know how." Scott finishes.
Melissa didn't say anything however. She just grabbed Scott keys from the counter and placed them in his hands leaving him confused and worried at the same time. "Go meet up with your friends." She tells him, placing her hands on her hips. "What? Mom why?" Scott asks her.
"Because you're gonna figure out how to get my daughter back."
