The Dark Moon
Malia has accompanied Stiles, Lydia, Scott, and Kira to Mexico to find Derek. She, Kira, and Scott station themselves in the Calaveras' club as back-up. When it becomes clear that negotiations have gone sour, Malia dances with the crowd to blend in. She encourages Kira to so as well, only Kira dances terribly. In order to help her, Malia pulls her in close and starts grinding against her. Once the hunters notice them, however, Malia takes down one guard by lifting him up and smashing him into the floor. Kira and Scott each take care of a hunter on their own, and the three of them head up toward Araya's office. Severo releases wolfsbane gas into the hallway to stop them. Malia is as affected by the wolfsbane as Scott. They are all locked in a cell, and Malia suggests taking out the first person who opens the door and making a run for it, leaving Lydia behind. Kira asks her if that's what she'd do as a coyote, leave someone behind. Malia says yes, and that if it had been bad hunting she'd eat her first and then leave her. Stiles is distressed and reminds her that the rules of the wild don't apply to friends. It's clear they've been talking about social etiquette. Hunters come and take Scott and Kira, leaving Stiles and Malia alone. Malia tries to listen to what's going on, but she can't concentrate. Stiles kneels in front of her to help her, and she kisses him. The kiss makes her eyes flash blue, and she's able to hear with more focus. She reports that Scott is screaming and then that Scott said Kate has Derek. Stiles is stunned. Araya lets them all go and gives them Braeden to guide them to la iglesia where Derek is being held. On the drive, Malia asks who Kate Argent is. None of the others particularly want to answer, but they tell her that she killed Derek's family, was Allison's aunt, and is now a werecreature.
The Jeep hits something and comes to a stop. Stiles sends Scott on ahead, and while inspecting the vehicle Malia finds an antler or tooth stuck in the wheel well. She surmises that something hit them on purpose. While Stiles fixes the Jeep, Malia keeps an eye on the surrounding area. She can tell they are being watched. Night falls, and Kira uses her sword to bounce light from the headlights around for Malia to see better. They spot the thing watching them, and Malia takes off after it. She gets in a scuffle and comes back with a deep gash in her side. Stiles fixes the car, and they get going. He yells at her for running away because he was worried she was gone for good. Malia assures him that she'd never leave him, even though she would leave everyone else. The others aren't too thrilled with her candor. When they arrive at la iglesia, Stiles leaps out of the car and runs up to see Derek. Malia asks him if the person Scott's carrying is Derek, and Stiles replies, "Uh, sort of."

After they have been cured, Malia regains her eyesight and reads the deadpool list from Stiles's jacket. She sees herself listed as Malia Hale. When Stiles comes over to see if she's okay, she removes his hand from her shoulder when he touches her and then gets up and walks away without speaking to him.
Malia is seen in a hallucination Stiles has when he can't sleep. Malia goes down to the vault beneath the school and opens a safe with her adoption papers. She takes a look and Peter appears. Peter says " I gotta get a better safe." Malia and Peter talk to eachother and at the end before the scene ends, Peter says that he found her mother and heard that she's a desert wolf. Malia says that means coyote. Near the end of the episode, Stiles sees that Malia is attaching things to the board.
