MTV's paranormal young adult thriller, "Teen Wolf" Season 6, Episode 1:"Memory Loss" last Tuesday. And after the explosive episode, fans are asking, what happens next? The Season 6 premiere opened with a mystery involving missing people. During the gang's investigation, Stiles falls prey to a supernatural element called the Ghost Riders or the Wild Hunt, who takes people and erases memories of them.

Unforgettable First Episode

The "Teen Wolf" Season 6 episode went for the kill, ending with Stiles Stilinski (Dylan O'Brien) being taken by the Ghost Riders, but not before sharing a sweet, tender moment with Lydia Martin (Holland Roden), who promises not to forget him. In the darkest moment of the episode, Stiles says, "Remember, I love you."

According to showrunner Jeff Davis in a TVLine interview, Stiles dropping the L-bomb was a much debated aspect of the story. "Should we go for it? Finding out that this is the last season makes you want to go for things that you've been holding off on." The episode ends with Lydia remembering that she forgot something - or someone. This is the very thing that "Stydia" fans are hoping for - the progress of Stiles and Lydia's friendship into something more.

New Villains in Beacon Hills

No one else in Beacon Hills, not even Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) or Stiles' dad (Linden Ashby), remembers Stiles, but will he be the last of Scott's pack to be taken? MTV just released the promo trailer for episode 2, and fans are on the edge of their seats as the Ghost Riders are targeting someone else - Liam's best friend, Mason (Khylin Rambo). Things are heating up for the group in this final season of "Teen Wolf".

The show gives another teaser in the form of the school's new Physics teacher, Mr. Garrett Douglas (Pete Ploszek). It's not a coincidence that Episode 2 is titled "Superposition", a concept in physics that an object is in all possible states - when it is not measured. The measurement of the state is the one that limits it to only one. Clearly, this is a clue to future episodes, but the question is, how will this help Stiles get back to his friends?

Not surprisingly, the concept of limitless realities was explained by Erwin Schrodinger in his analogy, Schrodinger's Cat, which is the first lesson that Mr. Douglas teaches the class in Episode 1. Fans everywhere suspect that he might be the Nazi werewolf everyone should be afraid of this season. Will he be the major villain in the show? To find out, watch "Teen Wolf" Season 6 every Tuesday at 9pm ET/PT on MTV.
