Omega

Despite seeming to accept that Scott and Allison are still dating at the end of the previous season, Chris is decidedly against it now. He appears at one of their rendesvous and threatens to shoot Scott right there. Allison begs for his life on the promise that they won't see each other anymore. Chris tells her "never again," and lets Scott go. From that point on, Scott and Allison meet in secret. 

 

After Lydia disappears from the hospital, Chris organizes a team of hunters to search for her. They are acting more like a hunting party than search and rescue, and Allison is concerned that they're going to hurt her friend. Chris and his hunters run into Allison, Scott, and Stiles in the woods by the Hale House. Scott gets caught in a tree snare, and Chris decides to have a little talk with him. He threatens Scott but doesn't hurt him and then continues on his way.

 

The next day, Chris and Victoria attend Kate's funeral. It's a circus, and it's brought Chris's father, Gerard, to town. Chris hugs his father, though he calls him by his first name. Gerard introduces himself to Allison and asks whether or not she remembers him. He doesn't expect her to call him Grandpa, though. That night, Chris, Gerard, and some other hunters go looking for an omega Werewolf that's turned up in town. Gerard cuts the omega in half while Chris watches. Chris asks him about the Code, but Gerard declares that they are at war.

 

Shape Shifted

A couple of days later, the Argents start making some changes around town. Chris catches Principal Thomas outside of the school and forces him into a car. There, he an Victoria give the principal a performance review and shock him with a taser. They force him to leave so that Gerard can take his place.

 

The next evening Chris and Gerard discuss whether or not to kill Isaac. Chris doesn't think they have sufficient proof that he's a Werewolf, but Gerard wants to be sure they eliminate the threat. When they catch Allison listening, Chris closes the door to the study.

 

Ice Pick 

The Argents decide to intensify Allison's training. She's kidnapped one evening from a gas station and wakes up to see Chris bound and gagged. Someone is narrating what happens when a hunter gets bitten by a Werewolf. Chris struggles and eventually gets free, and then takes an iPhone from one of the other hunters, which has been broadcasting the speech. It's clear that it was all a setup. Chris explains that Argent women are raised to be leaders and then gives her an arrow to use to break herself out. He leaves her to fend for herself.

 

The following day, Allison and Lydia are in Allison's room studying, and Chris pulls Allison aside. He asks her to keep an eye on Lydia, because they are still concerned about the alpha bite she received. Allison agrees. The next evening, Chris and his hunters go to the Hale House either looking for Derek or looking for clues as to what happened to Bennett. Jackson bursts in on them, and they have an awkward conversation.

 

Abomination

Chris takes Bennett's body to the Animal Clinic and asks Deaton to evaluate what happened to him. Chris leaves him to his work for a while and comes back a few hours later with Gerard to hear Deaton's conclusions. Deaton tells them that the creature has a venom that can paralyze its victims and very sharp claws which it used to slash through the lungs. 

 

The next day is a lacrosse match, and Gerard and Allison bring Scott home following the game. Chris and Victoria are incensed. There is tense silence and very little conversation. Chris eventually asks Scott to help get dessert, and he very angrily carries a platter back into the dining room.

 

Frenemy

Chris and Gerard have been hunting Derek moreso than the kanima, but they encounter both as Derek chases the kanima from Scott's house into the warehouse district. Derek fights with the kanima first and gets blinded when it rips out some electrical wires. Chris then shoots the kanima with a full clip. It appears to go down, and Chris looks around for Derek, who has vanished. The kanima isn't dead, though, and gets up, attacking Chris from behind. It throws him into a pillar, and he gets dazed. Through his blurry vision, he sees the kanima approach Gerard but not attack him. 

 

They follow Scott and the kanima to the Jungle, but don't go inside. Instead they wait, and eventually the kanima causes enough trouble that the cops and EMTs are called in. Chris overhears the police talking and reports to Gerard that they're calling it drug-related. He then asks Gerard why he just stood there while the kanima confronted him. Gerard tells him that he knew what the creature was and what its rules were. He knew he wasn't in any danger. Chris asks if they should stop hunting Derek and start hunting the kanima. Gerard thinks one can take care of the other.

 

Gerard is sure that Allison knows more about the kanima than she's let on.

 

Raving

Chris brings her into the morgue to show her the kanima's two latest kills. He tells her that their knowledge about the supernatural makes them responsible for protecting people. It makes her responsible for those deaths. He frightens her into telling him what she knows. They develop a plan to catch Jackson at the rave on Friday night. As they prepare that evening, Chris tells his hunters that he wants no collateral damage from this mission. Allison is going to signal them when Jackson is away from people, and they will move in. Chris tells her to go get ready to leave, and Gerard comments that Allison doesn't seem to know this is a kill mission. Chris says she doesn't need to.

 

At the rave, Chris and his hunters encounter Derek and Boyd. Chris tells Derek to stand down, and Derek just mocks him. Chris tries his threat a second time, this time with more guns. Boyd gets nervous, and the Werewolf end up running for cover behind a Dumpster. Chris and his hunters waste lots of bullets, and eventually Derek and Boyd come out and fight. The other hunters get knocked out, but Chris is still okay by the end of the fight. Somehow Derek escapes from Chris, and Chris isn't seen again until Victoria comes stumbling toward him with a werewolf bite on her shoulder.

 

Party Guessed 

Chris rushes his wife home and frantically cleans out her wound. He keeps trying to tell her that it will be okay and she may not have been bitten badly enough to turn her. No one else believes it, and it turns out not to be true anyway. Gerard insists that Chris has to man up and help Victoria commit suicide with dignity. Chris doesn't know how he's going to explain this to Allison so soon after her losing Kate. Gerard reminds him that there's never a good time to lose a loved one. They wait a few days, until the night of the full moon. 

 

Statistically, women more often kill themselves with drugs, so Chris offers Victoria some prescription medications. She's insulted and picks up a knife instead. They go up to Allison's room, where Victoria can feel closer to her daughter. She tells him that she's not sure she can do this on her own and may need his help. Chris promises to tell Allison the truth about her, that she didn't have depression and she wasn't weak. Victoria holds the knife to her chest, but she can't push it in. As she feels the transformation happening, Chris pushes the knife in for her and cries. 

 

He takes Victoria to the hospital and then calls Allison. Allison is in tears when she shows up, and she demands to know if this is another one of his hunter tests. They hug as Allison bawls. 

 

Fury 

Following Victoria's death, Chris watches helplessly as Gerard twists Allison into a killing machine. He turns her sorrow into violence and fury against all Werewolf. When they learn that the kanima's master has Derek at the sheriff's station, Gerard asks Allison what she wants to do. She wants Derek as top priority. They can kill any other Werewolf that get in their way. Chris asks about Scott to remind Allison that there are some good Werewolf, and she agrees that Scott can live. Gerard is pleased about Allison's cold efficiency, but Chris is not.

 

They head to the sheriff's station, and Chris and Allison work as a team, clearing hallways and having each other's back. The kanima gets the drop on Chris, and Allison shoots it in the head. Much to her surprise, it simply pulls the arrow out. Now that she has its attention, she runs and resorts to her ring daggers as weapons. The kanima catches her and paralyzes her, and Matt comes over to gloat. Chris makes noise in the evidence room to distract him and then picks up Allison and gets her out of there. 

 

Battlefield 

Since they missed killing Derek, Chris and Allison decide to get to him through his betas. They drive through the woods on ATVs playing recordings of wolf howls. Boyd and Erica hear this and fall for it. They think there's another werewolf pack out there. They decide that they're going to run away.

 

The night of their escape, Allison and Chris are again out on the ATVs. They manage to chase Boyd and Erica into a clearing, and Allison starts shooting arrows into everyone. Chris eventually shoots the bow in her hand to stop her from killing them. He's clearly upset with how much she's willing to hurt fellow teenagers. Allison shushs his concerns in order to call Gerard and report that they've captured the betas. She calls him Grandpa, which Chris notes with displeasure.

 

They take Boyd and Erica back to their house and string them up in the basement. 

 

Master Plan 

Chris doesn't seem aware of Gerard kidnapping and beating up Stiles. He listens to Gerard tell Allison to get some rest because the final showdown is coming and then asks Allison to sit it out. She refuses and tells him that she's finally becoming what he wanted. He denies that. He says she's turning into what Gerard wants. He cuts the string on her crossbow to try to keep her out of the coming fight.

 

Allison's change in attitude has Chris upset, and his loyalties shift. He goes down to the basement to talk to Boyd and Erica. He's really talking to himself, convincing himself that Gerard is the biggest enemy here. Chris decides to help Scott. He finds Scott and Isaac at the hospital trying to move Jackson in a body bag. Scott thinks he's there to get in the way, but Chris offers to drive them to the warehouse district to meet Derek and Peter.

 

Derek isn't particularly thrilled to see Scott and Isaac with Chris, but they get Jackson inside anyway. Scott had thought that Stiles and Lydia would be there so they could try to save Jackson. Derek tells him to wisen up. Gerard is controlling Jackson and trying to turn him into something even worse, so they have no choice but to kill him. This is the first Chris has heard this accusation, and he objects strongly ot the idea that his father would have anything to do with something like this. 

 

Gerard appears and declares that something so dangerous should be killed. Derek tries, but Jackson transforms into the kanima and fights back. The fighting comes to a sudden stop when Gerard has the kanima grab Allison by the throat. Scott explains what's going on. He says that Gerard has cancer and that all along he's been trying to get the Bite so that he'll live. Chris is horrified, particularly because Gerard insisted that Victoria had to kill herself when she got the Bite. Chris asks if Gerard would really kill his own granddaughter. Gerard replies that he would kill his own son to survive.

 

They watch Gerard get the bite and start bleeding black blood. Then watch Lydia save Jackson. Allison notes that Gerard has gotten away, but Chris says that he can't be far. They also stand back and watch Jackson finally become a werewolf. 

 

Later, Allison breaks up with Scott, and Chris goes to her room to comfort her.
