The doctor had also sold the morphine. Two soldiers were given the task of disposing of all the bodies so that the incident could be covered up. She wound up next to her boyfriend's body in the truck. She wanted those responsible to pay and knew she was running out of time. Her body was too weak to move and she would have been burned with the other bodies. She called out to her ancestors for a powerful Nogitsune to take control of her body to use it as a weapon. The trickster demon came but instead it possessed her boyfriend's body. Scott asks what the Nogitsune did after it got away from her. She explains it brought more pain than can be imagined.

Mrs. Yukimura hands her katana to Kira and says it's now hers. She warns she will need it to stop Stiles if the Oni can't. The only way to save Stiles is to kill him but Scott doesn't want to believe that. He receives a text from Alison to meet at the loft. Mrs. Yukimura buried the jar containing the fly, deep in the roots of the Nemeton. Allison, Stiles and Scott's sacrifice brought its power back.
