July 1, 2014 StayTuned Staff

Last night’s episode of MTV’s Teen Wolf Season 4 finally brought forth some answers that fans have been looking for. The episode opens with a flashback of high-school-age Derek shifting on a full moon with assistance from his older brother, Peter. The significant piece in this scene is that Peter is trying to make Derek focus on the triskelion to make the transition much easier.
