After the disaster that was sophmore year, Chris takes Allison to France for the summer to get away from everyone and everything. They sell the house that they lived in and move into an apartment building on Commerce Way.

 

Tattoo

Chris checks in on Allison the morning after Lydia's car was hit by a deer. He offers to let her skip class, but she promised to drive Lydia in. Later, after the English class is attacked by birds, Chris goes to the school to check up on her. Sheriff Stilinski asks him if he has any insight about what's going on because "he's a hunter," but Chris replies that he stopped hunting.

 

Fireflies

Chris has been staying true to his commitment to stay out of supernatural affairs. However, after Boyd and Cora escape and are mad with bloodlust, Scott decides that they need Chris's help in tracking them down. He confronts Chris in a supermarket parking lot. Scott asks for his help, but he initially refuses. In order to get him to agree, Scott asks him to take him to the pool, where he knows that they'll see a dead body. The ploy works, and Chris agrees to help them find the betas. He gives out infrared vision goggles and they decide to trap the betas in the school in the boiler room. They use sonic emitters to corral them in the right direction. They plan works, but not without a little help from Allison.

 

Frayed

Despite what happened with Boyd and Cora, Chris still believes that he and Allison should stay out of Werewolf business. She disagrees and thinks staying on the sidelines is just saving their own asses. 

 

Motel California

Chris goes to the abanoned mall where the alpha pack and Derek's Pack fought. He recreates the battle through footprints and claw marks. Later, Allison calls him to tell him that they're staying at the Motel Glen Capri. Chris recognizes the name and says that he'll come get them, but Allison doesn't think it's necessary. He's suspicious because he knows she's been hunting. The next day, Chris goes to see his father and finds out that Deucalion bit his uncle.

 

Currents

Chris starts to get more involved in the Werewolf business in town. He watches Deucalion and one of the twins conferring outside the hospital where Dr. Hilyard's empty car was found. 

 

He has started investigating the sacrifices around town on his own. Allison found a black light and map that he's been using. She was about to show Scott when Chris came home. Chris checks a point on his map and nods, confirming some suspicion he has. He quickly leaves again and doesn't come back until after Allison has had a chance to show Scott the map. 

 

He goes back to Gerard and demands to know the truth about Deucalion.

 

Visionary

Eight years ago, Gerard and Chris were in Beacon Hills hunting Werewolf. A Werewolf killed one of theirs, so they killed the werewolf in revenge. They nearly shot Derek. Chris orders some of his men to find Derek and bring him back alive. Derek and Peter hid under the nemeton and avoided being found. Eventually the hunters do find the root cellar. They see the five-fold knot on the nemeton and realize that this is no ordinary root cellar.

 

The Girl Who Knew Too Much

The morning after they find another dead body, Chris asks Allison if she wants to go to the recital honoring all the people that have been killed. She plays dejected until he goes away. Allison and Isaac follow Chris's map to where they think Mr. Westover will be killed. Chris comes out, guns blazing, but doesn't kill the Darach. He's angry that the kids got in the way. Allison's angry at him for not revealing what he's been doing. He doesn't think she's one to talk. 

 

The three of them head to the school, since they've figured out that the current sacrifices are teachers, but they are unable to stop the third sacrifice.

 

The Overlooked

Chris ends up taking Allison and Isaac to the hospital because Isaac doesn't want to abandon Cora if no one is there to make sure she gets evacuated. They arrive when the evacuation is mostly complete. They eventually meet up with Scott and Melissa and come up with a plan to get Derek and Jennifer out of the elevator they're trapped in. They use Allison as a decoy and get the alphas outside the hospital so they can attack. 

 

Alpha Pact

Chris and Allison meet Derek and Isaac at a rally point. They ask about Scott and Melissa, while Derek gets Cora out of Chris's car. Stiles meets up with them at their apartment. Chris doesn't act like he's in much danger, even though his name was left written on the elevator doors in the hospital. He doesn't think the Sheriff and Melissa are dead yet. Isaac shows up to help, and they head to the bank where Deaton's sacrifice failed.

 

Rather than fight, Chris electrocutes Isaac, chains Allison to the vault, and goes willingly with the Darach. He had planned to get the Sheriff and Melissa out from the inside, but Jennifer was thorough about taking all of his weapons. The parents all talk and listen to the Sheriff talk about the night his wife died. Chris finds one thing that Jennifer didn't take: a small sonic emitter. He turns it on in the hopes a Werewolf will hear it.

 

Lunar Ellipse

 Chris checks that the sonic emitter is still on. Isaac and Allison find the root cellar, but as they go in, it starts to collapse. The stairs collapse and the ceiling starts to cave in. Isaac holds the ceiling up as long as he can, and eveyone starts to help. Stiles saves them all by jumping down into the cellar with a bat to hold up the beam. 

 

After they're safely back home, Allison tells Chris that she's changing the Argent Code: We protect hose who cannot protect themselves.

 

Galvanize

On Halloween, Chris catches Allison and Isaac playing a game of chicken with who will take more of their clothes off. He threatens Isaac and shouts as Allison for dating another Werewolf. While they are out of the room, Oni appear in Allison's room. They slam the door shut and attack Isaac.

 

Illuminated

Chris and Allison find Isaac on the floor, shaking and freezing.  He slaps him to try to trigger his healing. He knows the creatures that came after Isaac and thinks they they're after him. Chris has a shattered Oni mask in his office. He asks Allison and Isaac to give him some time before telling Scott about the Oni. That night he comes home beaten and passes out in the front hallway.

 

Silverfinger

Allison and Isaac have told Scott about the Oni, so Scott goes to Chris to find out what he knows. Chris saw them before during his first gun deal. A yakuza boss was possessed by some creature Chris didn't recognize and the Oni showed up to kill him. He believes a man named Katashi might be able to help them, since he was there that night also. He believes Katashi will let them get close if he puts an expensive antique gun up for sale. Allison and Isaac aren't going to let him go alone. 

 

At the meeting place, Chris is told that Katashi won't meet in person. His plan B is to send Isaac in as the seller while he and Allison fight their way to Katashi's office. It more or less works. Once Chris shows him the broken mask, he agrees to talk. They learn about the nogitsune and that the only thing they can do is let the Oni perform their test. 

 

Letharia Vulpina

Chris arrives home to find his apartment door ajar. He draws a gun and looks around, finding a sonic emitter jammed into his desk. Derek asks him if he lost something. They get into a scuffle but quickly realize that they've both been set up. Derek asks Chris what he plans to do if he finds Stiles. Chris says it depends on which Stiles he finds. 

 

He then sees that the cabinet in his office is open. Inside, they find the briefcase full of money that Katashi was going to pay for the gun. Rafael McCall shows up and arrests both Chris and Derek for murder. They get taken to the station and sit on a bench talking. Derek claims he didn't think Stiles was smart enough to frame him for murder, but Chris isn't convinced that Katashi's murder is why they're really there. He asks Derek to trust him to buy some time. Derek agrees although clarifies that he won't risk his life for him.

 

He's quickly proved a liar. When everyone starts evacuating the sheriff station because of a bomb threat, Derek can hear the bomb about to go off. He throws himself over Chris to protect him from the blast. In the aftermath, Derek can barely stand, and Chris holds him up. He's stunned that Derek saved his life. They don't attempt to escape in the chaos, though.

 

Echo House

Chris calls Deaton from a pay phone in the sheriff station to ask how things went in Japan in obtaining the letharia vulpina. That part went fine, but he didn't get any information about the shugendo scroll that would help them get rid of the nogitsune. Allison thinks it's hidden in Katashi's silver finger. 

 

The police put Chris and Derek in adjoining cells. Derek is listening to the deputies talking to see if there's any useful information. He learns they will be moving all the evidence, which includes the silver finger. They talk about how similar the situation with Stiles is with Jackson. Chris tells Derek about berserkers and how he had to kill a teenager because he was too far gone. Derek asks if Chris would feel any remorse if he killed Stiles. He agrees that he would, but not in killing a nogitsune. 

 

Chris gets called to an interrogation room to see his "lawyer." It turns out to be Araya Calavera, the hunter who tortured Derek. She says some cryptic things about his family and the Code and then leaves.

 

The Fox and the Wolf

The charges against Chris and Derek are dropped, and Deputy Jordan Parrish is supposed to return all of Chris's weapons. He balks at giving him back his baton. Chris claims he only uses it for hunting, which earns him an epic bitch face from Derek. The Sheriff orders Parrish to return it, though, and then asks both Chris and Derek for their help in finding Stiles. He shows them that the brain scans they have on Stiles match 100% with his mother's, which is impossible, so it's all a trick.

 

Chris, Derek, Allison, and Sheriff Stilinski gather in the Argents' apartment to get non-lethal supplies. They start to divide up the places to look for Stiles, but Derek points out that they've already done this. They don't have a better plan, though, so they go with it. Derek and Chris and supposed to go to Eichen House but they end up all meeting at the Sheriff's house because the nogitsune showed up on the security cameras. They find a chessboard arranged in such a way that it leads them to Derek's loft. Chris thinks it's a trap but goes along with it anyway.

 

De-Void

It was indeed a trap, of sorts. The nogitsune wanted Derek, Chris, Allison, and the Sheriff to protect him from the Oni that he knew were coming. Chris threatens to shoot the nogitsune but ends up not doing it because the Sheriff pulls a gun on him instead. The nogitsune is particularly pleased with the strife he's created. After the nogitsune vanishes, Chris and Allison head home. Allisons wants to know if he'd really have shot Stiles, and Chris isn't sure, so it's a good thing Allison took the firing pin out of his gun.

 

The next day Derek shows up at the apartment. He shows him Talia's claws and starts talking about how Chris's family killed his. Chris knows something is wrong, but Derek is too quick. He ties Chris into a chair and douses him with lighter fluid. When Derek waves a lighter in his face, Chris blows it out, making Derek angry. Derek threatens to kill him while making Allison watch. When Derek starts to fight with himself over what he's doing, Chris takes the opportunity to break out of the chair. He grabs a gun from under his desk and ends up shoving it under Derek's chin. He asks Derek not to make him pull the trigger. 

 

Insatiable

Derek's leaving after recovering from the infection of the nogitsune fly. He asks Chris why he didn't kill him when he had the chance. Chris insists that he's not Derek's enemy. Derek wonders why they aren't trying to hunt the nogitsune down, but Chris says that if it's that powerful he expect the nogitsune will be coming for them.

 

Chris finds Allison in the basement trying to align the sight on her crossbow but too upset at Lydia's disappearance to do it. He decides to have her go through the silver bullet ritual to mark her passage into being a hunter. He shows her some bullets but advises against using them at long range because silver isn't as accurate as lead. Allison thinks she should make an arrowhead instead. He kisses her on the forehead. She wants to tell him how she feels, but he tries to stop her. Allison insists on saying that she loves him and that she's proud of him. Moved, he kisses her on the forehead again and lets her finish casting. 

 

At some point during the day Chris gets a call from Derek and ends up helping him bring the twins back to Derek's loft. Derek shows him shotgun shell casings he found in the woods. Chris is stunned. Before he can tell Derek who they belong to, his phone rings with a call from Allison saying that she's going to Oak Creek to find Lydia.

 

Chris arrives at Oak Creek just in time to see Allison die in Scott's arms.

 

The Divine Move

Chris explains to Scott how he has to talk to the police about Allison's death. The scenario is that she was shot by hijackers. Scott can't believe he's so calm, but Chris just tells him that this is what hunters do. After Isaac gives his statement to the police, Chris takes him back home with him. Isaac wants to know how he's handling it so well. Chris starts to explain about compartmentalization, but Isaac can't do that. They hug, and for a moment Chris looks murderous. 

 

They sit in Allison's room. Isaac plays with one of the ring daggers, and Chris warns him that they're dangerous and it took Allison a long time to get good at them. Isaac tells him that Allison's last words were to tell her dad something. He's sure that it was "I love you." Chris tries to keep from crying. He tells Isaac about the silver arrowheads that Allison had made, and Isaac realizes that the arrow Allison used to kill an Oni must have had one. They go down to the basement to look and confirm that one is missing.

 

Armed with the arrowheads, Chris and Isaac rush to meet up with Derek and the twins at the high school, where they're fighting the nogitsune. Derek and the twins are slowly losing until Chris starts killing Oni. Aiden ends up getting stabbed, and Chris gathers around to watch his last moments. 

 

After the nogitsune is defeated, Chris and Isaac leave the country for France.
