25 Times "Teen Wolf" Got Way Too Real

    For a show that used slo-mo in every fight scene, I cried a lot more than I thought I would.

    Teen Wolf might've ended three years ago, but it will forever be in my heart as one of my favorite campy shows.

    MTV

    Sorry, Buffy.

    It was absolutely ridiculous, but also somehow made me cry CONSTANTLY (usually due to Dylan O'Brien's* acting). In case you'd like to relive some iconic moments with me, I present to you the Teen Wolf moments that utterly broke me.

    MTV

    *Hi Dylan, I'm single.

    1. You know I had to start with this: WHEN ALLISON DIED.

    MTV

    I WILL NEVER BE OVER THIS. My badass warrior queen had JUST figured out how to fight the Oni when she was impaled and died in poor Scott's arms. I'm pretty sure I wore black to school the next day to mourn.

    2. And Lydia sensed it!!

    MTV

    Lydia tried to warn them not to come for her, but they DID and it cost them Allison's life. When she screamed out for Allison a part of me died.

    3. When Allison's father Chris said he could handle the grief, and her boyfriend Isaac said he couldn't.

    MTV

    I felt especially bad for Isaac here, since his girlfriend had just died after professing her love for her first boyfriend Scott. The poor guy really had no one.

    4. When Stiles talked Scott out of suicide.

    MTV

    Scott's grief over Derek "dying" was exacerbated by being poisoned with wolfsbane, which caused him to become downright despondent. Stiles stepped in to remind Scott how much he loved him while I cried into my ice cream.

    5. And when Isaac hallucinated his abuse in the same episode.

    MTV

    Isaac finally got away from his horrible childhood only to be poisoned with the wolfsbane and hear his abusive father's voice in his ear. Isaac had it way worse than Scott this episode, and he didn't have a close relationship with anyone to help him!

    6. When Stiles was hiding with an unconscious Cora, and he confessed his fears about his father being dead.

    MTV

    Sheriff Stilinski's relationship with Stiles got me EVERY TIME. The sheriff was just SUCH a good dad and it was so clear how much Stiles cared about him. Every time Stiles got close to losing him I utterly lost it.

    7. When the sheriff almost died a DIFFERENT time (in Season 5), and Stiles really thought he wasn't going to make it.

    MTV

    I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but I'm pretty sure this line was a callback to the Season 2 scene between Scott and Stiles, when Scott lamented losing Allison and Stiles reminded him, "You still got me."

    8. When Allison's mom chose to die rather than become a werewolf.

    MTV

    Allison's mom was horrible, but Allison's reaction just made this so sad. I could not believe her mom hated werewolves so much that she would rather die (and leave Allison without a mother) than become one. Chris should NOT have gone along with that decision.

    9. When Stiles began to fade from everyone's memories, and he told Lydia to remember that he loved her.

    MTV

    MY HEART. It was pretty rough having his best friend and father forget who he was, but this was the most heartbreaking part of the episode. It was the first time he told Lydia he loved her, and to have him ripped away from her seconds later was horrible.

    10. When Lydia was struggling to remember Stiles, but no one would believe her.

    MTV

    Lydia knew someone important was gone, but everybody thought she was delusional! This was especially hard after so many seasons of people not believing Lydia or her thinking she was losing her mind. SHE WAS ALWAYS RIGHT, GUYS!!

    11. When Kate blamed Allison's friends for her death, and Chris reminded her that Allison died a hero.

    MTV

    Besides just being a major zaddy, Chris Argent also had one of the best arcs on the show. He went from hating werewolves to protecting them even after his daughter died, which was exactly what Allison would've wanted!

    12. When Allison and Scott broke up and he said he knew they'd be together again.

    MTV

    This scene was SO SWEET. They were my absolute favorite couple and it killed me that she died before they could reunite.

    13. When Stiles was in the hospital and thought Melissa was his late mother.

    MTV

    UMM??? MY HEART??? Melissa was always such a maternal figure to Stiles, who'd lost his mom young. I'm still mad she didn't end up with Stiles's dad!

    14. And when Stiles got the sheriff drunk so that he'd spill details on a case, and he said he missed his late wife.

    MTV

    WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT, MTV???

    15. When Lydia told Jackson she still loved him.

    MTV

    Look, this was a toxic relationship. But you're lying if you say this scene didn't break your heart.

    16. When Aiden died after finally redeeming himself.

    MTV

    He'd finally become the kind of man Lydia deserved – plus, poor Lydia had JUST lost her best friend Allison. At least he got to die with his brother at his side.

    17. When Scott promised Stiles that if he was sick, Scott would help him.

    MTV

    Scott and Stiles were the ultimate brotp and all of their scenes killed me. Especially in Season 3B, when Stiles thought he had the same illness his mom died from.

    18. When Hayden died essentially alone.

    MTV

    Mason ran to get Liam, but it was too late. Liam holding her body echoed Allison's death scene in the most heart-wrenching way. She came back to life, but still!

    19. When Stiles hallucinated his dad blaming him for his mother's death.

    MTV

    Teen Wolf did two things excessively: slo-mo and hallucinations. I preferred the latter, though they were always super upsetting.

    20. When Scott's heart stopped after Theo attacked him, and Melissa saved him.

    MTV

    Melissa was honestly such a badass nurse, and this scene was pretty epic. I also wanted to give an honorable mention to their next scene, in which Scott asked his mom what to do now that he'd lost everyone, and she said to give them hope. BRB, crying.

    21. When Scott found out that Stiles had killed Donovan and didn't believe Stiles when he said it had been an accident.

    MTV

    When Stiles begged Scott to tell him what to do to fix it, I lost it. WHY DID YOU BELIEVE THEO, SCOTT????

    22. When Erica died and Derek brought back her body.

    MTV

    Plus she was killed right in front of Boyd. Erica deserved better!!

    23. When Derek was forced to kill Boyd.

    MTV

    He seemed happy at the prospect of reuniting with Erica, but it was still so sad. Boyd deserved better too!

    24. When the gang FINALLY went to rescue Lydia in Eichen House, and she told Stiles it wasn't safe and begged him to leave her behind.

    MTV

    Thank goodness Stiles didn't listen. Lydia was always sacrificing herself for her friends and I was NOT okay with that!!

    25. And finally, when Sheriff Stilinski remembered Stiles was his son.

    MTV

    I was SO GLAD they got him back. Still, this was an emotional roller coaster.

    That's it! Did I miss any? Let me know in the comments!
