Venomous - Teen Wolf Season 2 Episode 5

*Spoilers ahead*

Differing from the usual style in that this is written after I finished the episode.

• For the first time ever, I am not rooting for Derek. He's being ridiculous, and that damn Erica has got to go. 
• Allison's moment of paralyzing Erica was the crowning moment of kickass awesome. I so love Allison as a character more now that I ever did when I though of her only as Scott's love interest. 
• I teared up a little with the Jackson/Lydia scene. Her not wanting to part with her last piece of him, Jackson caring about Lydia like that, maybe rekindling their old fire? I hope so...I think this was the first real Lydia and Jackson we saw, and I loved it. 
• I am so over Derek. He is an ass. I cannot believe I used to be one of his fangirls. Oh, we are so over. I really hope that Scott remains the Alpha of his own pack, as Derek put it. 
• I feel bad for Jackson...he's got enough of an inferiority complex/delicate self-esteem that he has to go to such lengths as soliciting lycanthropy from the likes of Derek Hale, and instead of getting it, he becomes some kind of monstrosity reviled even by other shapeshifters. 
• And that hand thing? Aw, he's lonely...looked like a man's hand, judging by the fingers and that quote...my guess is camera guy (the one with the Allison obsession). 
• Preview: I really pity poor Jackson, locked up and looking so freaked out...I hope they don't kill him off. I mean, who has he killed, really? I can't remember. Oh, right, Isaac's father and lacrosse/mechanic guy...no big loss, especially compared to the Jackson/Lydia that could be gained by leaving him live. 

In short, the episode was amazing...it completely changed my favorite characters around and Allison was badass. I recommend you try to catch it, or get into the series if you haven't!
