He never thought he'd come back to Beacon Hills after he moved to New York. He never thought he'd reunite with his old best friend, Lydia, again after all these years.
Who knew it would take one accident to cause his whole life to turn upside down...
Scott returns home from the Animal Clinic. "Hey sorry I'm back so late. I was closing up at the animal clinic. I got more hours to earn a little extra..." Scott said. He then saw his mom standing over the bag of money he took. "...money." Scott said. "How much more did you need?" Melissa asked. "This is payment from the Deadpool. I found it in Garrett's locker." Scott said, explaining where he got it. "This belongs to Derek?" Melissa asked. Scott nodded. "So, you're just keeping it safe for him in a gym bag underneath your bed?" Melissa asked. Scott didn't say anything. "How long have you had it?" Melissa asked. Scott sighed. "Too long." Scott said.
"You know you have to give it back..." Melissa said. "I was going to..." Scott said. "Do I want to know why you haven't?" Melissa asked. "Because of you." Scott said. "Me?" Melissa asked. She then sighed. "You mean, because we've been struggling a little?" Melissa asked. "Mom, we're struggling a lot." Scott said. "Scott, you can save people's lives, but you cannot save them from life. Life is full of struggle." Melissa said. "But it doesn't have to be!" Scott said. "Honey..." Melissa said. "Do you know what just one of these can do?" Scott asked. He pulled out some of the money. "This gets us a new roof..." Scott said. He pulled out some more.
"And this pays for Stiles' MRI..." Scott said. He pulled out more money. "This pays for Eichen House..." Scott said. He then pulled out even more money. "And this one means you don't have to work the double shift at the hospital and come home totally exhausted." Scott said. "What about this one?" Melissa asked. She handed Scott a blood-stained stack of bills.
Derek's Loft
Braeden and Derek are sleeping when the intruder alarm goes off in the loft. They grab guns scan the room. Noticing shadows under the front door they open it. A dripping wet Lydia and Leo are standing there. Leo grabbed Lydia's hand. "AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Lydia screamed, her scream combining with Leo's psychic power, causing Derek to go flying back. Lydia stopped screaming and Leo took his hand away. They both snapped out of their trances and looked around confused. "How the hell did we get here?" Leo asked.
The next morning
Scott returns the money to Derek at the loft. Derek looked at the bag full of money before looking at Scott. "Okay." Derek said. "Don't you wanna know why it took so long to return it?" Scott asked. "How much do you make at the animal clinic?" Derek asked. "Minimum wage..." Scott said. "That's why. Everyone can be tempted, Scott-- even a True Alpha." Derek said. "You're not angry?" Scott asked. "It's not even mine. It belongs to Peter." Derek said. "Where's your money?" Scott asked. "You're standing on it." Derek said. Scott looked down at the floor before looking at Derek, eyes wide. "There's another vault?" Scott asked.
Derek laughed. "No, I own the building. And I have my own bank accounts. All the money from the vault was Peter's. I think we'd actually be better off if the rest never came back." Derek said. "I know Lydia was here last night. Deaton's still working on figuring out what Kate did to you. If anyone can find an answer, it's him." Scott said. Scott then heard someone walking down the stairs. He then saw Leo. "Okay. I know that it's weird wearing my cousin's old clothing. But, it fits and I don't hate them." Leo said. Scott saw what Leo was wearing.
