Later, Satomi joins them and they go to see Deaton in the morgue for an explanation. Deaton explains that the illness is a variant of canine distemper that has been modified to act faster. Derek adds, "You mean it's been weaponized" to remove Deaton's vagueness. Satomi was not infected, meaning she either wasn't exposed to the virus or is immune.

 

Derek asks Satomi who was shooting at the entrance to the woods. "Apparently another assassin. Personally, I'd rather face a gun than a variant of smallpox." Melissa replies, "Sounds like you're going to get plenty of chances."

 

Satomi turns to look at Derek, and he catches her looking. "Sorry. I just noticed how much you remind me of Talia." Derek looks away, a few emotions flitting across his face. She is the second person, after Deucalion, to remark about Derek reminding them of Talia and foreshadows that he will earn the full wolf form and has the potential to be a well respected alpha like his mother.

 

Satomi says she used to visit Talia a lot. She asks if he remembers her. "I remember the tea. You always used to bring that tea that smelled terrible." Satomi says that the tea was a gift because Talia loved it. Deaton asks what kind of tea. "Reishi. Wild purple reishi. It's very rare." "It's also a very powerful remedy for sickness." Satomi didn't get infected because she'd been inoculated by the tea. Melissa perks up and asks how rare the mushroom is. "Can we find it?" "We don't have to. My mother kept some of it. It's in our vault."
