Teen Wolf season 3 spoilers are coming in fast and heavy these days, and we’ve got some more information about potential love interests for Allison and Scott, plus a hint that Derek got a little bit of a makeover!
This morning, EOnline shared some info about Allison and Scott’s relationship – or, rather, lack thereof.
With a few more female characters added in this year, fans have been wondering if Scott will be hooking up with any of them. Tyler Posey says he won’t, explaining, “So far they just want to kill me! So far no new potential love interests. Not yet.”
Hm. That “not yet” has us wondering. Perhaps Posey knows more than he lets on. Do you want to see Scott with a new girlfriend, or are you holding out for him and Allison to get back together?
Allison, on the other hand, may be moving on a little bit quicker than Scott. EOnline goes on to say, “[she] may or may not have a new love interest in season three and it may or may not be someone viewers have already met.”
Interesting! What do you think of this new potential love interest for Allison? Any ideas who it could be?
In another spoiler chat, this time with Zap2It, we learn a little bit more about Derek’s new apartment, which we saw earlier this week.
It seems that Derek’s new apartment will be quite the residence! Zap2It is sure to point out the fact that it does, indeed, have a bed, AND the site mentions that it will “be put to very good use this season.” We guess that makes Hayley Webb one lucky lady!
Are you excited to see Derek’s softer side?
The apartment used to feature more furniture, but executive producer Jeff Davis asked for some of it to be removed. Considering he lived in a burned down house for the better part of two seasons, we’re not surprised that he wouldn’t have a lot of useless things lying around.
So where did Derek get the furniture? “Most of this stuff, he probably found in the trash,” Davis said. Is he joking? Maybe. But maybe not. We wouldn’t put it past Derek to do a little dumpster diving. Could you even imagine him going to an IKEA and buying real furniture?
And it looks like Derek’s living quarters aren’t the only thing changing this year. According to Tyler Hoechlin himself, his character’s wolf teeth got redesigned since last season. Chances are they won’t be that different, but we’re also not sure how exactly they’d change.

It's why it makes me mad when fandom treats him like he's one of the "good ones" because he has a nebulous code that he follows but let's everyone else break without any real complaint from him. It's like nope, sorry, getting the courage to do the right thing once it finally affects the people you care about doesn't make you a good person.
Two: The problem with Chris is that the writers want to write him as a morally grey character, but they don't know how to do it properly. Like, you are supposed to kind of root for him, because sometimes werewolves do turn out to be bad and someone has to protect humans from them. That's why they have this code. At the end of season one, you were supposed to see that he turned against Kate because of what she did.
But in season 2 they completely forgot about it. They used his character where they wanted and forgot about consistency. He doesn't like Gerard (I mean he calls his own father by his first name?) but then is like "Your right dad, its obvious we totally need to kill these high schoolers, because even though it has been shown that the werewolves aren't doing the killing, we need to kill them all."
Just. What are you Chris Argent?
I mean, season 1, the alpha's going around killing people. Chris has no idea who the alpha is, and no proof of any connection to Derek, and yet he still goes around blaming Derek for the alpha's shit: threatening him, breaking his car, going after him guns blazing once he's been accused but not CONVICTED of murder and with 0 proof of anything.
Chris Argent isn't morally grey, he's just as fucking nuts as the rest of his family, he just hides it better and sometimes follows the code he's always spewing shit about. But you know what? I can't take his "I follow the code" seriously with the way he treats Derek from the get go and from, y'know, trying to kill innocent teenagers just because they happen to be werewolves. There's no "we hunt those who hunt us" it's just "we hunt whoever the fuck we decide deserves it, for whatever reason".
Frankly, I don't even think he was mad at Kate regarding the Hale house for the right reason. He wasn't mad because she'd ignored the code and killed a bunch of innocent werewolves, he was mad because there were humans, human children, caught in the fire. Because fuck werewolves over as much as you like, even if they're peaceful and haven't hurt anyone, but when you kill a human? CODE KICKS IN, LADY.
And where is he when Gerard is messing with his daughter's head? Why doesn't he do anything (like teaching her everything that she should know) and leave it to psycho grandpa who literally told him in episode 1 of season 2 that he was there to start a war and not give a fuck about the code.
Where is the "responsible" parent in Chris when Allison, due to grief and Gerard's manipulations, goes psycho and decides that she will KILL DEREK. Because as "justified" as he might think killing Derek is (due to Victoria's death), Erica, Boyd and Isaac shouldn't get caught in the crossfire, but they do, because Chris isn't actually a good person and doesn't actually give a shit.
As attractive as JR Bourne is, Chris Argent can take a long fucking hike over a very short cliff.
/raaage
I think the writers WANT Chris to be a morally grey character (some who truly does only follow the code, and just dislikes the idea of his daughter dating a werewolf because its dangerous) but as you pointed out THEY NEVER ACTUALLY SHOW THAT.
They use Chris when they need a bad guy, who is not actually a bad guy, but it ruins his characterization and makes him a fucking asshole. It's like he's a horrible guy for the first 11 episodes of every season and then in each season finale he is like 'OH I SEE WEREWOLVES CAN BE NICE"
They need to decide if he IS Gerard's son -someone who hates werewolves and doesn't even give one shit about the code, or if he is a ~good~ hunter that is just worried about his daughter
But your absolutely right. In fact every Argent (except Allison) is batshit insane.
They could have easily skip having Chris be the bad guy, and use one of his hunter pals instead. Have Chris hear the information about the alpha, and start going through records in an attempt to find a pattern in the murders and have one of his highly ranked underlings go in guns blazing, being a dick. Proceed to Chris chewing the moron out for not following the code and you make Chris Argent a hunter who follows the code, not a liar who pretends he does.
"There were humans in that house, Kate." NOT THE FUCKING POINT, CHRIS. THE DEAD HUMANS AREN'T THE ONLY INNOCENTS WHO DIED IN THAT FIRE, THE WEREWOLVES WERE INNOCENTS TOO, YOU ASSHOLE.
I just generally end up wondering, considering what we've seen from the Argents' hunting methods... how many innocent humans have the mistakenly killed because they believed they were (murdering) werewolves? Considering what they were willing to do to Scott... That's probably a fair amount. We especially never actually see them work really hard on trying to prove anything.
Scott and Stiles' accusation was enough to get them to go after Derek (despite the fact that the Hale house is in the fucking woods and anyone could have buried the body there). It's just... UGH. Frustrating, because I really think Teen Wolf could be a lot better than it is, and I say this as someone who likes Teen Wolf.
Let's be real tho, even Allison has shown some of the Argent Madness(tm). "My mom killed herself because she got bitten by a werewolf? TIME TO KILL ANY WEREWOLF I COME ACROSS, GUILTY OR NOT." Not at all laying the blame on her mother for killing herself (while I usually won't blame someone for committing suicide, this is kinda a special case). Derek didn't kill Victoria, Victoria killed Victoria. Because she didn't want to be a "monster". (Seriously Allison, I love you girl, but unless you actually genuinely believe that the dude you've been dating for months is a monster, you should call fucking bullshit on your mom's reason for killing herself.)
But now that we've been discussing Chris (and just all the fucking Argents), he really is Gerard's son - which I somehow don't think that was what the Teen Wolf writers were trying to accomplish but they did? Does that make sense? Like whenever they are in a room together, they obviously aren't big fans of each other - but Chris is a lot like him?
I just LEGIT don't understand their code. In the first season, they make it clear that they only hunt werewolves that are preying on humans. And while it makes sense that when Kate gets into town that she goes after Derek - why does Chris? I mean Derek saved Allison that one time from Scott on his first moon - there is NO WAY that Mama and Papa Argent missed that.
So Chris obviously knew Derek was a werewolf, and knew about them before the fire - its obvious that the Hale Pack was not a bad pack - otherwise they would have been taken out a long time ago.
I honestly think, in terms of a teen supernatural show, Allison's need to fuck shit up after her mom dies, while poorly done, does make some sense. She's crazy with grief and she just lost two of the most important women in her life. But, what makes no sense - is that Scott isn't like HEY BTW YOUR MOM TRIED TO KILL ME AND DEREK SAVED ME. (And I totally get where you are going with Victoria - I'm sorry but I just DO NOT believe for one second that the Argents have never run into werewolves that don't go crazy every full moon, see: their obvious knowledge of the Hale Pack. And their interactions with Scott. And while Derek is a fail!alpha - they have seen him trying to stop the kanima. And kill his evil uncle. In fact, having a werewolf as a hunter makes a lot of sense - because you can keep up with them.....WHAT THE HELL ARGENTS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER)
It is really frustrating, because I feel like 1. Teen Wolf is way better than it has any right to be. Based on a hilariously cheesy 80s comedy and it shows on MTV - I remember when they announced it I laughed because I thought it was gonna be horrible. 2. They started with such a great base, but its painfully obvious that they never put much thought into the backstories and motivations of most of their central cast. While they have a great grasp on Stiles and Scott (and sometimes Allison), they, instead of using the characters to create a plot, decide on a plot and then use the characters as they need them.
That's why I am most worried about Derek in season 3. They have given this really horrible, CRAZY depressing backstory, but will forgo any sensical development for him - so that he can have the sexual tension with the ladies.
Just get it together Teen Wolf. Hire a continuity person or something.
Yeah, I'm really worried about what's gonna happen to Derek tbh. I mean, it's not like anyone on the creative team did anything with his sexual assault (if you wonder what I mean, see this post, since it shows what scene I'm talking about), so IDK.
They've been pretty bad to Derek throughout the entire run: why wouldn't he tell Scott immediately that he wasn't the one who bit him? Why go "The bite is a gift, Scott." instead of "Usually, when given to someone consenting, the bite is a gift. However, the alpha, and I don't know who that is, but the alpha forced it on you, which isn't right." and then blah blah we're betas. It would save Derek so much grief, but we can't have intelligent characters, can we? Instead we go several episodes thinking that Derek bit Scott and omg!
