‘Teen Wolf' Season 5B spoilers: Kira to make long-awaited return; showrunner talks Kira's 'anxious' separation from Scott
With the return of “Teen Wolf” Season 5B, many fans have been wondering what happened to their beloved characters after the events that transpired in Season 5A. The series’ showrunner revealed that Season 5B will soon provide fans a glimpse of Kira's journey in episode 13.
In an interview with TV Line, “Teen Wolf” executive producer Jeff Davies shared that the upcoming episode 13 will show Kira, played by Arden Cho, on a journey to Mexico to “try to fix the problem of the fox spirit taking over.” However, despite Kira’s separation from Scott, played by Tyler Posey, Davis stated that the two are “still together.” He even described the couple’s separation as an “anxious” one and something that Posey’s character Scott has been “very worried about.”
Apart from Kira’s long-awaited return, another character would also be making a re-appearance in “Teen Wolf” Season 5B. Davis told TV Line that an Oni Demon is set to appear in an upcoming episode. “The Oni is part of a test that Kira goes throughout in the desert,” he explained.
Aside from the Oni, a new shapeshifter is set to appear in “Teen Wolf” Season 5B. In a previous interview, Davis revealed that Kira and other “Teen Wolf” characters will meet Skinwalkers in the new season. Davis shared that the Skinwalkers were based on actual Native American lore from the Navajo people. The creature also has the capability to transform into animals as well as steal the identities of other people. Davis even revealed that Kira and her mother would be the first to encounter the new shapeshifter.
Meanwhile, episode 13 of “Teen Wolf” Season 5 titled “Codominance” will air on Jan. 19 in the US. “Teen Wolf” spoilers for the episode indicate that Cho’s character Kira and her mother would go on a journey to help her “deal with her dark side,” according to Spoiler TV. Lydia (Holland Roden), meanwhile, would be “surprised” at Eichen House.
The episode will also have Scott and Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) "reaffirming and strengthening their friendship," Davis shared in his TV Line interview. "That’s a little bit longer of a reconciliation. We didn’t want to just patch things up in one episode," he added. Davis also hinted that the upcoming "Teen Wolf" Season 5 episode 13 will focus on getting Kira back from her desert journey.
“Teen Wolf” Season 5 episode 12 titled “Damnatio Memoriae” will air in the US on Tuesday at 9/8c on MTV.
