The shocking mid-season finale of "Teen Wolf" Season 5 has led its second half to a dark and sombre path. Though dark, Season 5b will also be a season of resurrection and rebuilding. Fans will see a different Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) after coming back from the dead and after he failed as a leader to his pack. However, the True Alpha werewolf will emerge wiser after the mistakes he made.
Movie Pilot reports that Scott comes back a changed man after dying for 15 minutes. Creator Jeff Davis said of his character's development, "It's the classic hero's journey - the midseason finale is the death and resurrection. Now that he's basically resurrected, he's going to carry a loss of innocence with him, and he's got to do what his mother says, which is to give them hope."
He further revealed that the first part of 5b will find Scott drawing back his friends and rebuilding his pack which Theo successfully destroyed. He and Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) have to set aside the hidden resentment they might have toward each other in order to successfully defend Beacon Hills from Theo and the Dread Doctors. Davis describes the battle between Scott's pack and Theo's pack of resurrected chimeras as an "epic, cataclysmic clash of the Titans".
Christian Today reports that the darkness of Season 5b will seep within Corey, Hayden, Josh and Tracy after the Dread Doctors' experiment changed them so drastically that they no longer resemble their old supernatural selves. Davis revealed that they have to be reminded of their former selves by people who care for them. Mason and Liam may be up for the job of reminding them their humanity once again although it might be especially complicated for Liam since he is dating one of the chimeras.
Meanwhile, some unexpected alliances will be formed. Malia will need Theo's help in her fight against the Desert Fox, leaving her with no choice but to side with him. Kira and Noshiko will try to discover how to be free from the fox spirit's control. Kira will also find closure in her relationship with her mother.
