History

Season 5

"Turn! Turn! Turn!"

Martha walks into a barn where Marcus' pack is torturing Sam, believing him to have been the one to kill Marcus. Martha asked Sam to show her where he buried the body saying she wishes to perform a particular ritual in honor of the packmaster. Sam assumes that once he tells her about where the body is she'll promise to let him go. But instead she tells him no, but she will promise that Emma and Luna won't be harmed, being that is what Marcus would've wanted. So Sam then agrees to show her where Marcus' body was buried. When Sam reaches the site where he and Alcide buried Marcus two werewolves begin to dig up his body. Eventually Marcus' body is dug up and Alcide and Luna arrive to tell the pack Sam didn't kill Marcus, Alcide did. An older werewolf goes up to Alcide and bows to him adressing him as pack master but Martha instantly tells him not to and says Alcide shouldn't be pack master. Alcide tells them Marcus deserved it and also says he doesn't wish to be pack master anyway. Martha then begins to mourn her son's death then shifts and begins eating Marcus' corpse. The older male werewolf, J.D., shifts as well. ("Turn! Turn! Turn!")
