So everyone is all worried about the Beast and not
knowing what to do about it, especially since they don’t know how to find the
beast. What they do know is the Beast is getting smarter, stronger and more
powerful with each transformation. As Gerard points out, the Beast will get
more powerful until it completely forgets whatever Chimera teenager it and
becomes a monster through and through
Corey wants to run (which is pretty smart since he only
cowers or gets terribly injured) but Mason wants him to stay because he doesn’t
want to have to get to know the next replaceable gay token. He wants Corey to
protect him (I’d laugh if this weren’t so very very sad). But Mason has a logic
leap – the Beast appears near transmissions every time, the Dread Doctors are
controlling the beast and summoning it with broadcasts. By making it transform more
and more and more they are encouraging to become the super powerful monster.
Mason having an idea – excellent, maybe he is going to be
around more than 2 seconds every three episodes? Nope, because Liam gets to
explain this idea to the gang. Really, you couldn’t have Mason explain his own
idea? A straight white guy had to present it to the group for more
brainstorming? They can’t have him silently in the back of the room or
something?
Anyway, having come to all these conclusions the then
realise there’s a charity lacrosse match coming up which is going to be heavily
televised. A crowd of people for the Beast to slaughter
Surprisingly they actually make the sensible decision and
decide the match needs to be cancelled rather than insisting the game has to go
off (honestly so many teen drama would have had the match go on no matter
what). Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any sensible way to actually
cancel the match, the Sheriff certainly can’t without a reason
The idea they come up with is, sadly, to rely on Coach Finstock
to forfeit the match. The problem with this is a) I don’t see how forfeiting at
the last minute will work since the crowd will be there and the media. And B)
it relies on the random coach Finstock doing what they want.
