Collectibles: Furrybones

Hello Everyone, 

I decided to start sharing with you the different companies that I enjoy and here is one of my favorites. Check out Misaki, the founder behind Furry Bones. It is always great to talk to those who bring the creations that we all love and enjoy to life.


Tell me a little bit about your company and the founders?

Furrybones is one of the few lines designs I created working for a company called YTC, and became a thing of its own due to its success. In the spring of 2007 it started as a doodle, as most everything I design begin, and with a couple of years of diligent pitching and pushing, I finally got an OK to proceed with production. My company was reluctant to let me do it because they thought it was a bit too morbid. “People like morbid!” is what I said and it didn’t make me look bad for talking them into it. I believe it’s become one of the best seller for the YTC.


What made you decide to get into your field?

It sort of just happened. I went to an art school and dabbled in commercial art, fine art, and biomedical art in hopes to end up working as an artist. I did desktop publishing, production art, artist assistant etc. until one day I got a call from YTC saying they are looking for a designer. I had listed myself on an online artist database and that’s where they found my information. At first I designed things for their existing product lines like gargoyles and cultural collectibles, but soon I started making my own stuff whenever I had the time.


What is the vision of your company? What do you hope to achieve?

I want everyone to know the word Furrybones, like Hello Kitty and Disney. I know that’s a big wish, but I think it’s good to dream big, right? Furrybones are for everybody, but it’s especially for people with a bit of daring flare and sense of humor. I want my babies to bring people smiles and keep them company in their offices and homes and wherever people see fit to put them. I think anything is possible, so I’m going to keep dreaming big and keep the fans as happy as I can possibly make them in hopes to keep the fan base growing.

What is your favorite design? Why?

That’s a hard one. I’m partial to all of them for different reasons. If I had to pick one, I must say it’s either the Pink Bun Bun or the limited edition year of the dragon Scorchie. Pink Bun Bun because it’s the very first one I drew and the inspiration that led to the rest, and limited Scorchie because we only made 300 of them and that makes him extra special. Because it was limited, and 6” tall, I was allowed to spend a lot of time working on the design and art direction. I think it came out great. Being big allowed for more details and fine workmanship.

(I usually do not jump in an interview but I must point out that this was my first furry bones and he hangs out with me in my cubicle at work. I fell in love with the line because of him) 

What do you think about the rise in popularity of small collectible figurines with personality? (No more boring elephants!!!) Where do you see the field going?

I wasn’t aware there was a rise so much, but that’s great! I think people like little things, especially little things that they identify themselves with and be able to have them around in their environment. I think the Furrybones collectors have a bit of dark streak and secretly or openly like that about themselves and so it’s pleasing for them to have them on display as sort of identity disclaimer. In that sense I think the collectable field as you call it has a huge potential especially if they have a big personality that reach out to people and we make them easily accessible in terms of availability and affordability. I don’t want Furrybones to become snobby expensive thing that not everybody can afford to collect.

Additional Comments?

I’d like to thank Fangirl Review for reaching out and giving me this opportunity to talk about Furrybones. It’s quite nice to be asked questions about things that doesn't always get communicated without actually having asked to elaborate. I hope my answers gave a little extra to those who are curious and maybe lead some people to start collecting them.

Gamer Corner: John Doe

Welcome to this week's installment of Gamer Corner, where Fangirl Review interviews a gamer and gets his thoughts on the gaming world and learning what he is enjoying at the moment.


Tell me a little bit about yourself? What rig do you currently game on? What kind of gamer do you classify yourself to be? ie. PC, Console, Tabletop, LARP as well as Hardcore, RPG, etc.

Think I might classify as nostalgic console gamer, PC is a tool which I use mainly for piracy, work, mail and porn. I got most consoles from NES famicom to Wii, but PS2 and XBOX mark a threshold I didn’t get beyond. I like all sort of games, but consider most Sport and Racing Simulations the least interesting. I really dig simply addictive concepts, as well as atmospheric RPGs or Adventures.

What is your first memory of gaming?

That’s probably some Tiger Electronic Handheld (would love to find that one somewhere in the attic.. I had a pretty sweet submarine shooter but I don’t recall the name) or Super Mario Bros on NES, I have fond memories forcing my Grandpa and Uncle to play with me – it was beyond their heads – but apparently I didn’t have a lot of friends back then :-). 


What game are you currently playing? Do you enjoy that game, why? How’s the overall game play and graphics?
Currently I am playing Zelda – Ocarina of time on Gamecube, New Super Mario Bros. on Wii and Donkey Kong Returns on Wii. I enjoy all of those games a lot.  The overall game play and graphics are very appealing, since all of those three games can be considered as makeovers from classic originals, the developers did a good job there! The controls and gameplay of Wii Mario and Donkey Kong is very faithful, the use of Wii motion control is pleasantly limited, meaning you rarely have to shake the shit out of your nunchuk while playing!

Would you recommend it, why?

Yeah I would recommend all of those three games mentioned! Not only if you follow the retro hype, but if you consider yourself a gamer at all, there is no way around Zelda, Mario and to a lesser degree Donkey Kong. You need to finish at least on installment of any of those games, no matter which port, to be allowed in my book of videogamers!

Are there any games coming out that you are looking forward to?

I don’t know what games are coming out anymore. I am bitter about the whole current state of the industry, but just yesterday I read about a new entry in the Alien saga, Alien Isolation. Maybe that one will get my panties wet again!

If you could design your own game what would it be like?


It’s the same in all forms of art, any output that gives you the feeling “I’ve never experienced that before” is appreciated. But as you might noticed, I have a more conservative background to gaming and I would love to see a fresh contemporary approach to the genre of Point&Click Adventures!

Thoughts on this new generation of consoles – Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One?

I have only tried out the Wii U yet, but in a nutshell I guess the same could be said for all three consoles: nothing really new or exciting that justifies the price or the leap to another console. Only some minor graphic improvements compared to their predecessors (with the expception of Wii U maybe, but HD my ass)

What are your thoughts on the gaming industry?

It’s industry, always was, but the share of artistic curiosity and expression has lost most of it’s influence. Hardly anyone dares to risk anything, the primary goal is sell as much and as fast as you can.

But there is hope. With the democratization of the means of game development, a lot of people outside the industry got a chance to get their games and ideas out to a large audience.

10 years from now, where do you see the industry? Are you happy with that direction? If you had the power, what direction would you have the gaming industry go?

I think there is a fair chance that in 10 years, there will be only one hegemonical corporation housing all game developing companies that are left. Maybe there will be still names like Nintendo around but there output will be controlled and distributed through somebody else, maybe Google, maybe Amazon.

The consoles of the future will be mere firmware updates to your TV or Smartphone, physical storage mediums will be a thing of the past and you will control your game via smart contact lenses and brainwaves.

Please – Kill me!

Favorite Game (can include tabletop) of all time and why?

Tetris will forever be the perfect game, at least in my opinion. Perfection is best achieved through reduction of all that isn’t necessary. And when talking about perfection in videogames – Tetris does this best!

In these days of sensory overload, the modern zeitgeist (not only in gaming) depends on literally nuking your synapses to get any feedback at all. We are lazy fucks and don’t deserve any better! 

 
Additional Thoughts and Comments?

As I said, we are a lazy, spoiled and bored generation. The Internet has turned out to be that vast and endless realm of nothingness. The absence of anything has created a diminishing interest in everything.

Thank you to the nameless person that provided this response. If you would like to be interviewed for Gamer Corner please feel free to contact me at fangirlcontact@gmail.com.

Teen Wolf S3, Ep. 20 “Echo House” Recap




Show starts with Stiles and his father. He is taking him to the mental hospital. Scott shows up and Stiles decides to put himself on a 72 hour hold psych hold. He tells Scott to make sure he never gets out. Mr. Stilinski has a freak out about his son being locked up but settles down. He is taken with staff and they witness a man hanging himself.


Scott, Alison, Mr. Argent, and Deegan talk about the need for a scroll to help to deal with the evil kitsune. Stiles is introduced to his roommate, Oliver, and he talks about an echo that they all hear and why it is called Echo House. Stiles decides to leave the nut house and he sees Malia in the hospital. Malia attacks Stiles. In walks Ms. Morell and asks Stiles what he knows. He indicated that he was in the basement there before. 


Derek and Argent are still in lock up. They are moving the evidence to federal lock up. They talk about what they will do about Stiles if they cannot get him back to normal. Derek asks Argent if he will feel remorse for killing Stiles and Argent states yes for Stiles and no for the evil inside him. Argent is visited by his mother who reminds him that she is a hunter first. Stiles is in group therapy with Ms. Morell. Stiles continues to see the evil kitsune lurking around. Ms. Morell is concerned about the marks on his body and when they fade the kitsune will take over. Ms. Morell says he should not fall asleep and if the evil takes over she will kill him.


Scooby gang gathers to plan to rob the armor car filled with the evidence against Argent and Derek.. Stiles finds himself in the bathroom with Malia. She is upset that they turned her back to human from coyote and lives with the guilt of her sister and mother. She wants to turn back and he can help her. He says he needs help getting into the basement. Turns out the keys do not work and he ends up being sedated for stealing the keys.


Kara wants to help the Scooby Gang. Kara has picked up an awesome ability with a katana. Stiles is asleep and the evil kitsune is messing with him and he is locked up. Luckily Malia woke him up before the kitsune could take over. As they are about to do the ambush on the truck, the Scooby Gang finds themselves confronted by Kincaid. They want him to give up the finger that contains the scroll they need. Fight sequence. Everyone is down and out until the twins show up and start beating him up.


Malia and Stiles get down to the basement and look through papers. She kisses Stiles. Malia has her first kiss. They begin to hook up. The fight is over and the Scooby Gang won. Malia finds the backwards 5 and Stiles breaks through the wall and they find a body that was walled in. They find the body of the evil kitsune. Olivers shows up and shocks them both and plans to drill into Stiles head. The kitsune spoke to Oliver. He begins to threaten Malia and asks Stiles to let him in. Stiles lets him in and tells Oliver to stop. The evil kitsune is now in control.


The scroll says they way to stop the kitsune is to change the body of the host. Scott realized that he has to change Stiles into a werewolf. Malia has been released from the hospital and is looking for Scott. End

My thoughts: The whole intake of Stiles is not realistic. Plus as was pointed out on Wolf Watch we still do not know Stiles first name. The hospital was purposely dark and evil and not like modern day hospitals. I know that they are doing it to add to the creep factor but still.

Nightmare on Elm Street anyone? Do not fall asleep. You know Stiles is going to fall asleep but it is cute that he was determined to stay awake. 

Quick question – How old is Alison? If her father is locked up shouldn’t she be in protective services. She is not 18. She is not old enough to live on her own so how is she still living on her own?


This show is so packed with moments. Wow Ms. Morell is back. I wonder what will happen having Malia in the mix and how is she a coyote? If she is Peter’s daughter why isn’t she a wolf? I am very confused. Oh well, share your thoughts and predictions in the comments.

Gear: February Loot Crate Review


So as you all know there are various subscription boxes out there. I first purchased the BirchBox and enjoyed it for a brief moment until I realized that they were not sending me any products that worked with my skin tone or hair. I quickly cancelled that box and was going to get a natural hair box until I read all the negative reviews. Then I noticed on my feed Loot Crate. I figured since I was a geek that I could enjoy this box.


I received my first box on February 21st. I was happy that it appeared on time as I tracked it religiously. I did not believe I would get it on time especially with all the snow in Jersey but surprisingly I did. The Loot Crate offers 3 types of subscriptions. 1 month plan for 19.37 a month and you can cancel anytime; 3 month plan which results in a $55.11 charge once every three months or the 6 month plan for $105.99 every six months.


Okay so what did I get in my first box. As you saw throughout the post I shared pictures of the items. I was surprised to really enjoy the box and I purchased the 1 month plan because I was not ready to commit for 3 months. I think my favorite thing from the box is the Kid Robot Dunny. He is just so cute with his little fishing rod. I almost want to give him to my Dad since he loves fishing and instilled in me that same love.


I am not sure what I will do with the catbug bow tie, I might use it as a headband. The pull tie bag is basic but cool. The tshirt is awesome. I love my graphic tees as you can tell from my interviews on here with tshirt companies so that only makes the box well worth it to me. I have not figured out every item on the tshirt so if you do put it in the comments. The shirt is from Shirt Woot so it is of an okay quality. 


I would overall recommend getting the box but if you are still weary take your time. I will do a review on all my boxes going forward so check back and make your decision once you see what I get in my boxes for a consistent time. 


Who doesn't love a bacon card? Not sure who I would give this to but it was nice to get it in the box. Share your thoughts about the box in the comments. Loot Crate can be purchased at Loot Crate Official Website

Smash Bros: Diddy Kong Announced

Hey Everyone,

If you love playing with Diddy Kong then have no fear he has made the cut for the new Smash Bros for the Wii U and 3DS.


Diddy Kong is considered a lightweight character and is very quick. He has the ability of wall clinging and crawling. His attacks have decent speed and power behind them. 


Diddy has two projectile attacks, banana peels and peanut pop gun. The banana peels work well with Diddy’s quick movements. They help him quickly rack up the damage and cause combos to occur. This works great as he has an overall low KO power. The downside to the banana peels is that they can be reflected and use by other characters.


Diddy has a great aerial game which includes the D-Air Meteor and Spike Rocketbarrel Boost. Diddy has awesome recovery with the Monkey Flip which can function as a fourth jump. If this is your character to play with then be happy. I am still waiting for my Ice Climbers. The announcement of characters seem to be occurring more quickly which is good. Hopefully we will get a release date soon but I am guessing the game will be released in November in order to move systems for the Holidays. 

Share your thoughts in the comments and let me know if there is a character you are hoping makes the cut.

Movie Mondays: Haunter


Random Movie Mondays is here and this week it is the movie Haunter. It was released in 2013, directed by Vincenzo Natali. The movie was written by Brian King and Matthew Brian King and premiered at SXSW. IMDB Storyline: The ghost of a teenager who died years ago reaches out to the land of the living in order to save someone from suffering her same fate.


My Thoughts: The movie is interesting. I first thought it was some weird Groundhogs Day movie but I found that it is more than that. Each day Lisa (Abigail Breslin) is forced to relive the same day in what appears to be the mid 80s. The weird stuff starts happening early which is good. I do hate when a movie drags, especially a ghost movie. 


Slowly the routine day begins to change. It takes on a sinister tone as each day repeats itself. An odd man (Stephen McHattie) shows up and tells Lisa to ignore the voices and odd things that happens otherwise her family will be in danger.


I must admit the movie does get confusing at times but I like that this movie is told from the point of view of the ghost. The last time we had a movie like that was The Others but the difference for this one is that the ghost is aware and knows she is contacting the living. The first physical contact with the living is a powerful moment in the movie. The character of the odd man adds a great dynamic as he tries to keep Lisa in check and stop her from contacting the living. When you realize what is going on you realize how twisted the movie truly is. 


It had a great ending. I do enjoy a great ghost story. It is hard to find original ghost stories so I was happy that I came across this one. Check this movie out and share your thoughts in the comments.

The Walking Dead S4, Ep. 11 “Claimed” Recap


The show starts with Glenn and Tara hanging out with Abraham and his crew. Abraham enjoys taking out some walkers and Tara points it out. We meet up with Michonne and Carl having breakfast and he becomes upset when he mentions Judith by mistake. Poor thing. Michonne takes Carl out on a supply run. Michonne tries to cheer him up but continues to fail. Michonne admits to Carl about having a son as a way to bond.


Rick wakes up from his nap hearing voices and finds that there are people in the house. Rick finds himself hiding under the bed. Michonne starts a game with Carl that lets him ask questions about her son and previous life. Rick is almost found out when two guys fight over the bed and poor Rick is still stuck under the bed.


Glenn finally wakes up and makes them stop the truck. Eugene and Rosita are finally introduced as well as Abraham. They are on a mission to DC to take Eugene who is a scientist to help with the outbreak. Abraham tries to give Glenn a hard truth that Maggie is dead and he punches Abraham for the comment. The two start to fight. Walkers start to come out and Eugene starts to shoot and ends up hitting the gas line in the truck. Rick is finally out from under the bed but is trapped upstairs. He has to kill one of the guys to keep from being found out.


Rick is forced to climb out the window. Glenn still takes off to find Maggie and with the disabled truck the rest of the group takes off on foot and begins to talk down the road. Poor Rick is out of the house but still trapped until the man he killed wakes up a walker. Then he is able to get away and grab Michonne and Carl on the way. Carl, Rick, and Michonne are out on the rail road tracks and find a sign promising sanctuary. It is a similar sign that Tyrese and the girls found. 


My Thoughts: Abraham is awesome and he has the awesome stache! That is all that matters in my opinion. As I think about the graphic novel, I do not believe there are any more pivotal characters that we need to meet right now. Happy to see that they are following Eugene’s story line. 

Again, I must say that I enjoy Carl and Michonne’s relationship. It is necessary for both of them. I enjoyed this episode and it is interesting to see the small groups slowly being directed to sanctuary. 

What do you think they will find at the sanctuary?

Graphic Tees: FunkyT


Tell me a little bit about your company and the founders?

I had the concept for FunkyT from my younger years working within retail and fashion. It was my younger brother who inspired me to put the vision of concepts into action after years of sharing and producing design ideas.

From 2009 the groundwork started with a mass of research and gathering content from friends and the general public. Flash-forward to 2013 and many sleepless nights later and FunkyT was finally born.

As opposed to simply putting out and producing deigns the mantra of FunkyT is "designs are to have a meaning that you can connect with at a physical or emotional level. 'It is going to be with you for long time', so, why not have it mean something".

With that being said each design has a short description of either its conceptual design and or meaning. The long term goal is to become the brand that means something to everyone and anyone who comes into contact with it.

What made you decide to get into your field?

I wanted to create and wear a brand that’s main focus was more than simply income. Being able to share the concepts we have and each design having a meaning is the continuous pushing factor that keeps us going.


What is the vision of your company? What do you hope to achieve?

Simply put ‘We’re More Than just A T-shirt’. We design concepts that we and our consumers can connect with. So, whether it’s a jack in the box design taking you back to your childhood or the Birdcage of Love representing pain and new love, its means something to you.

The vision is creating a brand over time that people can connect with, primarily the designs. Our goals are to ensure our products can be related to across all consumers and over time it’s a brand that people will want to be associated with.

Our mission is to build a brand and designs that over the years will stand the test of time and enable consumers to reflect on and connect with.

What is your favorite design? Why?

Favorite design has to be the female t-shirt ‘kiss her mind’. This is more due to the statement it represents. ‘If you kiss her mind, her body will follow’. It’s a favorite as it symbolize what most men can’t seem to grip and what most women will say is essential in understanding the female mind and in any relationship being able to receive all she has to offer.

As a statement it’s caused positive healthy debates between both men and women and that’s what we’re all about. We want our tees to make people talk and point.


What do you think about the rise in popularity of graphic tees? Where do you see the field going?

I think it’s a good thing but like all products and services I feel it has to be for the right reasons. An actual love affair with fashion and wanting to create a brand that will stand the test of times as oppose to graphic tees who are here today but gone tomorrow.

It’s an ever growing field and I truly believe it will be dependent on the one brand that can add the x-factor to its product, whether that be the way it’s produced, designed, manufactured, and/or marketed.

As of now you have spray-on fabric which will change the consumers demand and perception of fashion. As long as these factors are followed closely by graphic tee designers it could work hand in hand with niche designers.

Thank you to FunkyT for the great interview. Understanding the thoughts behind a graphic tee makes it even better in my opinion. Check out their line and share this post.



50 Shades of Grey Movie Poster Released

Hi Everyone,

The official Facebook page for 50 Shades of Grey released a movie poster for the upcoming movie.


It basically lets fans know that a year from now they will be enjoying the movie adaptation of the novel by E.L. James. It shows Anastassia as a nervous young woman who is meeting Christian for the very first time. I am sure fans are excited to see Dakota Johnson as Anastassia Steele and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey. 

What are your thoughts on the new poster and the movie as a whole?

Gamer Corner: Gregory

Welcome to this week's installment of Gamer Corner, where Fangirl Review interviews a gamer and gets his thoughts on the gaming world and learning what he is enjoying at the moment.


Tell me a little bit about yourself? What rig do you currently game on? What kind of gamer do you classify yourself to be? ie. PC, Console, Tabletop, LARP as well as Hardcore, RPG, etc.
 My Name Is Gregory, I'm 20 years old, I play a lot of video games. I'm in college and from New York.

What is your first memory of gaming?
When my mom bought me a Playstation 1, with a Toy Story as my first game. But no memory card so that was annoying.


What game are you currently playing right now? Do you enjoy that game, why? How’s the overall game play and graphics?
I'm playing this game called DMC and The Guided Fate Paradox. Both are enjoyable because of  story element to it. DMC has awesome graphics but The Guided Fate Paradox not so much.

Would you recommend it, why?
Hells Yeahh! Since DMC is free for the PSN store For PS+ Members ;) so why not try it out? And The Guided Fate Paradox is a great game for all JRPG lovers!


Are there any games coming out that you are looking forward to?
Oh Yeah! Infamous Second Son, Destiny, MGS 5 & Ground Zeros, The Crew, Kingdom hearts 3, Final Fantasy 15, I could keep on going.

If you could design your own game what would it be like?
It would be like a mixer of GTA and Uncharted in the sense of gameplay, action, how-the-story-plays-out type thing going on.

Thoughts on this new generation of consoles – Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One?
The Wii-U needs help. The Xbone needs to rethink there plans for their console because they are not going so good. And the PS4 is doing awesome.

What are your thoughts on the gaming industry?
The gaming industry is getting too greedy. Game stop for example and these game companies with their DLC that’s locked inside of the game which is annoying. They want to squeeze more money out of you after the whooping $60 bucks. The good thing about it is that these developers make some wonderful games that you can't simply turn away from like GTA 5 and The last of Us for example.

10 years from now, where do you see the industry? Are you happy with that direction? If you had the power, what direction would you have the gaming industry go?
In 10 years I see cloud gaming being a big thing for sure. Yeah I would be happy cause a lot more games would be available for more people to play in different platforms. And I wouldn’t change the way it goes. Its doing fine. I believe in it.

11. Favorite Game (can include tabletop) of all time and why?  
Um it might be Fighting Force


Would you like to share your gamer tag and the system so others may add you?

PS3- Bigg_is_a_g

Xbox Fitness Review

Hi Everyone,

As some of you know I enjoy working out via the Kinect. The Kinect was a great selling point for the Xbox One for me personally. I know many gamers griped about the Kinect but I personally like it. I enjoy the voice and hand commands. The new Kinect is so refined and I look forward to seeing what the scheduled updates for February and March 2014 will do for it.


The Xbox One introduced Xbox Fitness which is a free app for Xbox Gold Members for the first year. This app offers various work outs from Shaun T, P90X, Jillian Michaels, and 10 Minute Solutions. The workouts vary in time and if equipment is needed. There are free workouts and some are available for purchase. However there are a lot of free workouts so the need to purchase a workout is only if you desire.


The Kinect does a fantastic job with reading your body and you are dinged when you are not giving 100%. It works similar to other workout video games in the sense that you have a competitive element to it and attempt to strive to get perfects on all the various moves. It shows what muscles groups are targeted on each move which I enjoy.


I think that Xbox One has a winner on it's hands here. I enjoy the work outs and find that they are the right level of difficulty and offer a great variety. While this app is free for now it is scheduled to become an app that you will have to pay for in the future. I believe it is worth it and I will be purchases when I need to. Share your thoughts about the work Xbox Fitness in the comments.

Teen Wolf S.3, Ep. 19 “Letharia Vulpria” Review


Important Moments: Show starts with men in a house and there is a wolf in the middle of the room. In walks Dr. Deaton to treat the wolf. Deaton believes the wolf ate a herb and the bodyguards refuse to go to the guardian to get the herb because of superstition. Turns out the garden is where the evil kitsune was killed. Turns out the man is the kid of the evil kitsune. The herb is called Letharia Vulpria. Deaton has poisoned the man to paralyze him. Deaton plans on using the herb to destroy the evil spirit.


Kara is in front of the building as the electrical wire comes down. Water seeps out and everyone is electrocuted. Kara jumps into the water and grabs the wire and neutralizes it. Her eyes glow really cool. Isaac is shocked. Stiles has been missing for two days. Scott and Mrs. McCall go to visit Isaac. She lets in Scott and Allison. Scott does the healing thing and tries to help heal him but can only help with the pain. Kara believes the evil spirit has been offended.

Scott, Ethan, and Aiden go to the basement and find Stiles. Scott stops the twins from tearing him apart. Stiles says that he believes he has been doing something horrible but does not know what. He gives all the stuff to Scott to let him figure it out. The Coach has everyone out running in the woods where Stiles believes he has been recently.


Mr. Argent arrives home to his door unlocked and Derek there. Derek found Argent's emitters in his loft. Looks like Stiles is trying to pin the two against each other. Argent and Derek find a metal briefcase filled with cash from Silver Finger. Mr. McCall shows up with the finger and says he is dead and arrests the two. Scott and friends gather everyone in the woods and stops them from running. Stiles finds a metal chain. The Coach hits a trip wire which causes him to be shot by an arrow.


Lydia and Alison show up to see Peter. Stiles freaks out at the blood of the coach. Argent and Derek are sitting at the police station. Argent believes there is a reason that they are under arrest. Peter tries to claim he is the reason that Lydia has her powers. Peter claims he wants to help Lydia and wants something in return. He presents the nails of Derek’s mother. Aiden finds bolts and wrapping paper and believes Stiles made another bomb and put it on a school bus. Kara’s father is there and a kid on the bus picked up the present.


Peter claims his sister stole a memory from him and he wants Lydia’s help in finding it. Peter is trying to get Lydia to focus. Lydia hears something. She says to him that Peter is not just an uncle, he is a father as well. Kara’s parents meet together about The Five. He asks her how many more tails is she willing to sacrifice. Kara watches on. A young deputy checks on the bomb and finds the Sheriff’s name plate. The bomb is at the police station. Derek covers Mr. Argent as it explodes and saves his life.


 Peter is upset that Lydia cannot tell him more about his child. The Five have been released again and Kara, Scott, and Stiles are on the run from them. Lydia figure the lost girl from earlier in the season and believes she is Peter’s daughter and that is why she changed. Scott and Kara take on the Five and Kara finds she can fight. One of them stabs Scott. Evil Stiles takes over and knocks out Kara. He begins to twist the blade in Scott. He wants to take the pain that Scott has been taking away all day. Deaton shows up and injects Stiles. The fox is poisoned but not dead.

My Thoughts: How much more did evil Stiles do? He has been planning this whole time and is more than a few steps ahead of them. Now that he has been poisoned we know that he will make last minute moves to try and cause as much problems as he can. Also where will it leave Stiles? Plus Kara says that the kitsune was offended and I wonder how. 

Kara's mother is using her tails to call out the Five. My question is does Kara realize that she has that power as well. Also what does it mean when there are no more tails since a Kitsune has only 9 tails. I guess we shall see. 

Wow Peter has a child and it may be the little girl that grew up in the woods as a wolf that whole time. I wonder how this came about. There is so much unknown.
