Liam continues to struggle with anger issues, more names on the deathpool are revealed and Araya (the head of the Calaveras) has returned. Here are my burning questions from 'I.E.D.'.

No. 1 - Who, or what, is Deputy Jordan Parrish?

The biggest surprise of Episode 5 was when Lydia glanced near the end of the new batch of names and saw "Jordan Parrish: 5." So he's a supernatural creature. But what is he? He has been quite interested in the weird happenings of Beacon Hills and, quite frankly, he's been very helpful. However, is his willingness to help coming from an innocent curiosity and duty as an officer of the law? Or is Mr. Parrish hiding something that we have yet to discover?

 No. 2 - Are we going to see a powerless Derek?

During this episode, Derek revealed he wanted to catch Kate because he was losing his powers. Are we going to see a powerless Derek?

No. 3 - What does Argent's possible alliance with the Calaveras mean?

Araya warned Scott she would come to Beacon Hills. She's here and her first stop was to Chris Argent. The Calaveras leader got Argent to recite the hunter's oath - "We hunt those who hunt us." If Argent accepts the alliance, will that mean he will eventually be at odds with Scott and his pack? Will he take down his sister before Derek can get his powers restored to full strength?

No. 4 - Is it just me or is the level of acceptance for all things disturbing too high in Beacon Hills?

Did anyone else find it odd that Coach didn't further address the fact Stiles was looking at pictures of dead bodies in class? Dead bodies. What teacher sees that and tells the student to simply "put those pictures away"?

No. 5 - Which big bad will prove to be the real big bad this season?

It appears there is more than one force working against Scott and his team. The Benefactor is trying to take them out. Kate and what appear to be her beserkers aren't the friendliest bunch. Finally, the Calaveras may still be a formidable threat (especially if Argent joins them.) Who will come out on top in the end? Are any of the bad guys connected?

Let me know your thoughts and theories below.

"Teen Wolf" airs Mondays at 10/9c on MTV.
