Down in the forest, there is a tree.
What's left of one, anyway.
The Nemeton calls another supernatural creature to its town.
The blood that drips onto it forms a circle.
Malia has a flashback when they reach the parking lot, and walks into the street.
Scott pulls her back before she has a chance to get hit by a car.
"Actually, I think- I think I'm remembering something. They were at Sinema, when I went there with Mason? When Lucas disappeared? I remember them taking him."
So they start there. It's not exactly hard to get into the club. Liam finds the spot where the victim was taken...

"If they could manage stability, they wouldn't need experiments. Do you remember which way they went?"
They go outside.
"There's no scent, it's been too long. We can still look for possible routes, but they've been all over town, it might not tell us much. They must have something besides the mind tricks."
"-hard to hear, but you should be happy for them. You've always had feelings for Lydia, anyway, it's not like this was more than a way to keep yourself occupied while you wait."

Despite what your hormones may be telling you, the matter of finding and securing a mate is not actually as pressing a survival concern as eliminating the insane serial killing druids who emanate a fear aura and would like nothing more than to use each of you as a subject for their twisted experimentation/torture.

Do I need to?"
