Somehow, Parrish doesn't die in the flames. He walks into the [[beacon hills sheriff station|sheriff station]] covered in only soot and proceeds to beat Haigh into submission. Lydia and [[Scott McCall|Scott]] take Jordan to see [[Derek Hale|Derek]], but Derek doesn't know what kind of supernatural he might be.
 
When Parrish goes to the sewer to save Chris, his eyes flash an orange color while they strain to bend the rebar that will release Chris from captivity.
