In Teen Wolf season 1 episode 6, titled "Heart Monitor," the story revolves around a potential werewolf attack on Beacon Hills High School's upcoming annual lacrosse game. The episode begins with Scott and Stiles watching practice, where Scott is struggling to control his werewolf powers. Meanwhile, Coach Finstock is more focused on winning the game, putting pressure on his players to perform their best.
At school, Scott is excited to ask Allison to the game, but he learns that her father, Chris Argent will be there. Chris is known for his reputation as a hunter of supernatural creatures and Scott is worried about being caught. Meanwhile, Stiles offers Lydia a ride to the game, hoping to impress her with his driving.
As the game approaches, tensions continue to rise, with the Wolf Pack trying to find out who the potential werewolf attacker is. Scott has a strange encounter with a student named Jackson, who starts to exhibit strange behavior during the game. During a time-out, Jackson collapses due to a mysterious heart condition, leading to confusion among the players and the audience.
While Jackson is rushed to the hospital, Scott suspects that his heart condition might be related to his potential werewolf status. He teams up with Derek to sneak into the hospital room and take a look at Jackson's medical records. There, they discover that Jackson has a rare medical condition that is causing him to experience symptoms that resemble those of a werewolf.
Meanwhile, Stiles and Lydia end up trapped in the school's supply closet after Stiles wildly drives his jeep into the school building. While trapped, they share some personal details about their lives, leading to a moment of vulnerability between the two. Scott manages to make it to the hospital game, just in time to see the Werewolf Attacker try to attack Jackson in his hospital room.
In a suspenseful climax, Scott takes on the attacker, leading to a dramatic showdown that puts his werewolf skills to the ultimate test. When the dust settles, Scott manages to save Jackson and stop the attacker, but at a cost. With the attention of the Argent family now turned towards him, Scott is left to wonder what his future as a werewolf holds. The episode ends with Jackson, now recovered, showing symptoms of his new 'condition'.
Overall, "Heart Monitor" is a gripping episode that combines elements of mystery, suspense, and high-stakes action.
