"Maybe." Derek whispered, turning his head away from his sister in order to look at Isaac. Isaac stared at him before standing up straight. He started to walk away, slowing down slightly when Derek spoke again, but not fully stopping. "I told Cora I wouldn't leave. I'll help the others when I figure out how to help her."

Isaac was quick to turn around, "There's no time!" Then he was turning back around, making his way back up the steps with Gwen gently grabbing his hand when he made his way to her. Isaac stopped once they reached the door, turning to look at Derek. "The full moon's coming. The sheriff and Melissa are going to be dead, so I'm gonna try to help them." He pulled open the door before stopping again. "You can sit here and perfect the art of doing nothing." He slammed the door closed and the two walked away.

They got into Gwen's car and she turned her head to look at him before softly asking him, "Are you okay?"

"I wish he would do something." Isaac muttered. "I wish Cora was okay. I wish Melissa and the sheriff were safe. There's a lot of things I wish weren't happening that are happening and I have to find a way to help. We have to find a way to get them back."

"And we will." Gwen assured him. "We always figure this stuff out. Just take a deep breath, alright? And no more crying. I hate it when you cry." Isaac turned his head to look at her and she gave him a small reassuring smile. He leaned forwards, pressing a quick kiss to her lips before pulling away and taking her hand, pressing his lips against it before interlacing their fingers. That was enough for her, so she put the car in drive and sped to Allison's house.

When they arrived a new day was starting. Neither of them could sleep, and had decided before going to Allison's to just ride around. And they did. They rode around, talked, sat in comfortable silence with the radio being the only noise. And when they were both ready, they pulled up to the Argents with Gwen using her key to get in. They came in just as the Argents were readying their weapons with Stiles watching with a surprised look on his face. They both stopped in the doorway.

"I can't shoot a gun or use a crossbow, but. . . well, I'm―︎I'm getting pretty good with these." He showed them his claws and Gwen couldn't help but smile.

She looked at them before shrugging. "And I can turn into a seven foot wolf."

They arrived at the bank where they had found Erica. Gwen couldn't stop the memories from flooding her brain. Derek holding Erica in his arms with such a hurt look on his face it broke her heart. Even though it seemed empty, Chris Argent was quick to make sure they stay alert anyways. That's when Argent pulled out an electrified baton.

Isaac frowned. "I thought you only used that on werewolves."

"I do." Argent answered before quickly turning around and sending electric currents through Isaac. Gwen watched him fall to the ground with wide eyes.

"Argent, what the hell!" Gwen snapped, her blue eyes starting to glow before Argent quickly turned and placed the baton against her stomach. She growled at the electric currents. They hurt, but she wasn't a normal wolf. "Turn up the notch next time."

"I was hoping I wouldn't have to," Argent side before quickly grabbing onto Gwen and inserting a sedative into her neck. She tried to fight it, but it was too strong even for her. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she slumped against him, forcing him to place her on the ground. Allison watched with wide eyes as her father quickly grabbed handcuffs, placing on her wrist before latching the other onto a pipe.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Allison yelled, her eyes snapping over to Isaac and Gwen before looking back towards her father.

"I'm sorry. But you're just gonna have to trust me on this." He walked away, pulling out his gun as he continued speaking. "I knew for a long time she didn't just operate on the currents. She was in sync with them." He turned his head slightly before dropping his gun. He turned his head, Allison following his eye line along with Isaac who was just waking up. Jennifer entered the vault and looked at them, a smile on her face.
